Pretty sick ..
Maybe it's because Black people were sick of getting the short end of the stick. Also the size of the glove and Mark Furhman's racist comments didn't help at all.

You know what's REALLY sick? Being able to own slaves, beat them, rape them, give them no rights, whip them, think of them as 3/5 of a human being, etc., people showing up to lynches with their children and picnic food like it was a Sunday outing, Emmett Till's murderers admitting to their crimes, and STILL managing to get off scot-free, the cop who shot and killed Leonard Deadwyler for speeding to get his wife to the hospital because she was in labor, and managed to get off scot-free, the cops who beat Rodney King to a pulp and received no jail time... Shall I go on?

White people were able to beat the system for decades. Black people get one taste of it, and it's sick? Please, FOH. I only wish I were old enough at the time to join in for the jubilation.

NOBODY IS SAYING THAT.

Do you think there is a problem with police brutality? Do not flip that around. Cause I already know the next rhetorical question that your going to type. The main problem is that there are people who will and will never admit there was ever a problem in the first place.

Let's take this situation out of it. It has happened, but let's just say for the sake of argument that this shooting never happened.

Will you admit there has been a problem with Police Brutality? If the answer is no. Then we as a people will never solve this problem. If your answer is, "well black people should stop doing xyz", then ok well why do white people commit suicide at greater percentages than any other race except Native Americans? Is it because white people hate themselves? Why do White people value their own lives less than other races? Why do white people have such low self esteem? That is basically the equivalent of what some people are doing here. I personally hate that analogy, but asking questions that never get to a real answer just deflects from the real issue at hand.

If I asked that terrible question about white people I just posed, I could just keep digging in and digging in. Yet, I would at least try to listen to you why white people commit more suicides than any other race besides native Americans in the USA. I wouldn't just keep saying, "because they lack self esteem" and "They Hate themselves" that gets us nowhere. There is obviously an underlying issue going on.

Ahhhhhhh....Good ol' USA. Were we have already made our conclusions and we never listen.

If you can't get why your arguments are not helpful and my analogy is not helpful. Then we are F****** as a country.

That's not what Raven said and you know it.

BTW, a white guy was tasered to death yesterday in Burbank. Just like the black guy in Pasadena on Friday.

There is an issue in this country with police brutality, time to wake up.

The police have gotten very militarized in this country over the last few years.

Yes, there is. But you have to be paying attention to see it.

It's easier for some to ignore it and just think well that person must have deserved what they got.

There was a 6 year old white kid shot by police last weekend I heard nothing from the All Lives Matter Crowd. They don't care about police brutality or All Lives mattering. They just care that BLM sit down and shut up.

Hey, concerned citizens! Police in this country are out of control! Let's stop deflecting the issue.

There's always going to be injustice with the police because they have more power than ordinary citizens. It's like this everywhere around the world. However, as a multi-cultural country, there is scrutiny by the police when they find people of a certain color commits most of the crime. So it's easy for cops to assume judge & jury on people they often associate with criminal behavior.

There's a deep correlation that's indisputable why cops shoot the black guy before they determine guilt. Because for every black guy they shot, they've arrested dozens that are resisting, lying to them, or shooting back.

This is a vicious cycle, now you can't fight violence with violence, it leads to escalation. If you determine the best way to not get shot by the police is to strike back then you will be dead wrong. They will always have the upper hand in courts and sympathy amongst majority of the people.

Now if blacks are no longer the top race committing crime you'll see perception change right away and the police pick on a different race.

Law abiding citizens will go through the system which will resolve this matter, no need for a lives matter civil disobedient parade. You don't solve problems that way you go through the system as this is a nation of law.

Those officers will get paid leave. Then it'll go to a grand jury and they'll be back on the force. If you just think it'll "resolve" itself through the judicial system then you are being incredibly naive.

Plus how the hell are you gonna say:

Then have the gall to say this in your previous post:

You just contradicted yourself in two post. HAHA! Apparently cops are the judge, jury, and the executioner. Yet, you want people to go through the system? What?
