We don't even get a video with this one? Where's the fun in that?
There's a video of him breaking into cars, isn't that enough? You can see him jumping on a windshield of a new car in the showroom.
So now a rookie officer is being investigated because he didn't let this guy go? Why would anyone want to be a police officer?
Do I think people disobeying the law should be shot? No. But this young man drove his SUV into the dealership. Then he refused to cooperate with the police.
His father said his unarmed son should not have been shot no matter what he was doing. That's such a crock. I feel badly for a grieving parent, but when a police officer is killed, nobody seems to be screaming racism.
Football players lives matter regardless of race, they deserve better treatment from the police. This is a travesty of justice lol
Somehow that statement (and the other half-dozen you've made in a similar vein) doesn't seem to go along with "Heal the world make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race".
Agreed that blacks who aren't doing anything wrong do sometimes get harassed and worse from cops. But in this case, it really does look like the dead guy was committing a crime, possibly while high, and then COULD have done more than resist arrest since whatever led him to be at that dealership COULD have led him to continue irrational behavior, which could have been a threat to the cop. Yup, no question that this is another white cop who killed a black person...but does it automatically fall under the cop being wrong in using deadly force? I'd like to think a taser could always work in subduing someone, but that obviously isn't the case or cops wouldn't carry guns....
I think you summed it up quite well, at least in this case.
BS lies. Blacks don't even get a chance to resist. A 12 year old black child with a toy gun is gunned down by the police in less then two seconds after they arrive. Meanwhile the police just back down from armed white scumbuckets like this. The same laws aren't even enforced on white people.
That happened in my state. They backed off because it was going to be a bloodbath like Waco or Ruby Ridge.
There is no question he was a criminal, ita a fact. Any reason why he did what he dis still makea him a criminal. Criminals attend college too. He wasn't an innocent victim of anything.
Everyone has bias. I don't believe it. I hear the little biased voices in my head all the time. I just work harder to counter them out!
The reason we can't make any progress is because:
1. no one wants to take ownership of their issues
2. no one wants recognize what other people observe if it is counter to their experience
Everyone is like "I do not have a racist bone in my body! It's those other people." And suddenly there are no other people because everyone is great!
I used to think there was no racism, and we were behind it. I have diverse non-racist friends. And then more stuff started to happen to me and I noticed patterns of behavior my non-black peers didn't experience.
I do not have a racist bone in my body! I do not have to prove that to you or anyone else.

Had he been convicted of something?
