Aided by a corrupt media. I live in that area, and read about this last night. The headline read: "white officer shoots black resident inside her home." It's since been changed, but the fact that they changed it shows it was meant to cause discord, and when discovered, it was corrected.
Does the media have headlines that read "black man in Brooklyn beats old Jewish man unconscious" or "black man rapes white girl"? No, but they sure are quick to point out the races when the perpetrator is white and the victim black. It's a liberal agenda to assign racism to all acts, and accuse everyone of being a racism, in order to drive anger among blacks and get them to vote in large numbers. It's the only way a liberal Democrat can win the election.
People always forget that the forum is Politics and Other Controversies.
The way people are being *policed* these days is quite controversial. Would you agree?
I would agree that policing is controversial.
Also, Texas judges are politicians. Texas elects judges. That is rather controversial as well. If this goes to trial, that's a relevant angle to consider as well.
Getting appointed is at least as much of a political endeavor as getting elected.
Yes, that is a fair statement. Supreme Court judicial appointments were a relevant topic to the 2016 presidential election.
Judges, elected or appointed, have the potential for bias. If this case goes to trial, the judge will be someone who was elected because of their political affiliation of having either a D or R next to their name. The average voter doesn't research a judicial election. I would prefer appointed judges because when a President or Governor appoints judges, voters actually pay attention to that top ballot election.
The only elections that the typical voter pays attention to are U.S. President, their state's Governor, U.S. Senate, and maybe a U.S. House race. Almost no one knows their state level reps (down ballot) or these elected judges.
Not the best example. This woman might be still alive had she not had a gun.
It doesn't appear that the presence of a gun in the house had anything to do with the shooting.
The cop shouted "Raise your hands, show me your hands, show me your hands" in less than a second and then immediately fired. There was only one second from the first word out of his mouth to the gunshot.
Apparently he couldn't see if she had anything in her hands.
Right......and putting aside the fact he didn't identify himself as a cop, he didn't give her time to raise her hands even if she had immediately registered what he was telling her. The report I watched said there were three seconds between him telling her to put her hands up and shooting.
There was only one second. The body cam video is available on YouTube.
It was only one second from his first word to the gunshot.
None of my business, but why was she playing video games with her eight year old nephew at 2 a.m.?
Because she's the aunt, not the mother.
