It's good work if you can find it. Arrests don't seem to work out so well for them - do a quick search on YouTube for "sovereign citizen arrest", it's hours of entertainment.
Wow now some are trying to blame her actions on...lead poisoning.
Ok...
Korryn Gaines believed she had lead poisoning. In black communities, it

Of course now the family is saying the police were wrong ,blah blah

Korryn Gaines' family questions use of lethal force | Maryland News - WBAL Home

The family is trying to say she didn't trust the police because she suffered a miscarriage due to police force.
This is when she was driving around with a cardboard license plate that said "Free traveler" on it!
What did she expect was going to happen. The cops were going to say "Oh Cool! Have a great day Soverign Citizen!!"

Police: Korryn Gaines involved in police incident in March | Maryland News - WBAL Home

Again NO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Her family should've cared enough to get her mental help.

Of course none of the people defending her will mention this wacky Sovereign Citizen thing she was a member of.
Either because they know people would look it up and realize she was crazy or they were too lazy to actually do any research....

I think the movement might be looked back on as bringing awareness to important issues going on in this country. But it's hard to take it serious when they use this case as something to get really upset by.

It almost seems that no matter what happens during an altercation the cop is in a lose lose situation. The only way the majority of people start taking it serious is if BLM started to speak about how they understand how this women died and how it was her own mistake.

You're asking for rationality from a group that totally depends on an irrational, subliterate interpretation of the world. Never going to happen.

Yes. Of course cops are human so they are going to mess up or in some cases actually purposefully do the wrong thing. The fact though is that it's not just black people that experience police brutality.

Facts don't really matter to a lot of these BLM people though. They already have their minds made up.
All cops are racist and whenever there is an altercation it's always the officer that was wrong and never the suspect.

Another stupid article from Vox

Did Baltimore County police really have to kill Korryn Gaines?
Korryn Gaines pointed a gun at police. That doesn’t mean lethal force was necessary.

Did Baltimore County police really have to kill Korryn Gaines? - Vox

It's so funny...I always imagine what these idiots writing these articles or tweets or facebook messages would do if they were in the shoes of the police officer.
Would they try to go up to the suspect and give them a big ole' bear hug and some homebaked cookies?

So easy for them to say how they cops "Should have" hadn't the situation, from the comfort of their keyboard.

What you have here is the classic case where the police have to behave professionally and release video etc. in accordance with law.

On the other hand, any idiot can run in front of a camera or post on the internet garbage about there being no gun or that she was shot in the back etc etc.

I think we can both agree that police body cams are a good thing for BOTH the public AND the police.

I know the police can lie, but the family and friends in these instances have a much worse track record in recent years. I mean the whole "he was a good kid, turning his life around, wasn't in a gang, didn't have a gun" is practically a meme now often followed by their facebook pictures with gang tats and holding guns and flashing gang signs.
Either way-a crisis negotiator should have been used primarily.
And once they realized a 5 year old was present, their methods should have completely changed-and possibly even postponed.

We need bodycams now though-makes no sense they weren't in use.

Anyway-this thread is misleading-the vast majority of BLM supporters do not see this woman as a hero. Of course you can find a representative of anything in any large group of people.

Once the election is over, BLM will be relegated to the back page. The Dems will be done with them. They are useful idiots and will be collateral damage.

That's because you're not a rage-filled person. But we can certainly agree to disagree!

Makes sense her behavior, these people are arrogant enough to think they are above the law and decide which laws they can follow!
Wow

"The strange subculture of the sovereign citizens movement, whose adherents hold truly bizarre, complex antigovernment beliefs, has been growing at a fast pace since the late 2000s. Sovereigns believe that they get to decide which laws to obey and which to ignore, and they don't think they should have to pay taxes."

Not sure if even Nation of Islam believes that kind of stuff!

Decide which laws to follow and don't think they should pay taxes! Wow how nice!

Groupthink at its best. Or worst. All it takes is a handful of angry people to get a mob going.

I look at twitter from time to time and see angry, hostile people posting and feeding off of one another. And the names they use - I Will Not Comply! is @LOLatWhiteFear, for example. Just racist, kill cops and white people b.s.

BLM and the New Black Panthers see themselves as the modern civil rights movement. Martin Luther King must be rolling in his grave.
