Being able to remove a life should not require a high lever of expertise? Bad decisions should simply be accepted? They should have a license to kill if you will? There should be no repercussions for anything they do?

Are you saying that all black people who have been killed have all been bad decisions?

I have no idea why people think stupid statements like this are a legitimate answer.

I usually agree with you. Here, though, I wholly part ways with you. You know the answer to your questions below, but just in case:

Yes, the ability to remove a life should require a higher level of experience, which cops trained and tested and passed to get on the force, or they would not be on the police force.

No, bad decisions should never be "accepted." However, it is not up to you or me or the court of public opinion or BLM, or the Nation of Islam or the New Black Panthers to decide what is and what is not a "bad decision," no matter what the alleged "factual" video shows.

A license to kill. Seriously?

No repercussions for anything they do? It is not up to you or me or the court of public opinion or BLM or the Nation of Islam or the New Black Panthers to decide what repercussions should be meted out. I know you know police can be charged with a crime and serve time or receive the death penalty just like anyone else.

Was Dallas cop killer Micah Johnson radicalized online? - CNN.com

"Extremist groups generally use propaganda in the hopes of influencing people," said J.M. Berger of the George Washington University Program on Extremism. "They are trying to encourage lone wolf attacks where someone will carry out an attack in the name of the ideology they believe in but not have any connection to the organization that is promoting the ideology."

No one on this list or in BLM, the Nation of Islam or the New Black Panther Party, not whites, not one, not no one, has 100% grasp or understanding of what actually went on.

God Bless the peaceful protestors, God Bless Alton Sterling's precious family, God Bless our police and the families who lost their husbands and fathers.

I did say expertise and not experience.

Yes we disagree. Society does have a say. It's not O.K. for the police to decide what is O.K. for other police to do.

Why did I say that? For some there seems to be no such thing as going to far in killing someone. No matter what situation is posted here there is someone that is going to defend it. Yes, I realize that on a message board some will do this just to get a jolly but what does it take to get people to agree?

In many of the cases listed it's clear that the officer(s) lied. For many that is O.K. also.

This is about more than one instance.

The solution is not difficult. You have a board that is made up by people from differing walks of life to make the final determination on a shooting. A member of the police. The prosecutors office. A couple different community leaders. It shouldn't be 100% up to the police to police themselves.

And yet you are the one that refused to answer. They were not difficult questions. I made sure of that.

I have no idea why stupid people think a sentence with a "?" at the end of it...is a COMMENT....or even WHY it would be considered a COMMENT when it has a "?" at the end...

I guess reading comprehension sucks on the left.....
