The tone of some of the posts in here are so angry. I know most Trump supporters don't like black people, but geez.
Yes, the actions of this one person seem disgusting and he was definitely wrong and should be held accountable for what he did. It ends there.
Wow, quantum leap in logic in a single post. You go from stereotyping most Trump supporters as racists, but then point out how the actions of this one person are just that, the actions of one person.
Wouldn't it be great if both sides of this discussion received the same benefit of the doubt? The actions of one person are just that, the actions of that particular person. The OP only reserves that right for the person caught lying here, while most Trump supporters are racist.
Just because there's one alleged false claim of racist treatment by a single errant African-American, doesn't nullify the millions that have actually occurred throughout the years since their arrival here as African slaves.
Since the person in question is not commenting on the matter I think we can shelve the "alleged" angle. It's not single incident though, Ferguson for example is something that should of been no more than a local incident that ballooned into a national incident and days of rioting because of lies.
This person is prominent in the back community and his version of events doesn't even remotely resemble what actually happened. This officer was very courteous and instead of getting a thanks for doing a fine job he gets accused of being a racist so someone can further their own agenda by fanning the flames.
Since there is a benefit to be a victim, see Starbucks bros, many blacks will lie about being discriminated. These hoax perpetrators need to be punished but often aren't. I blame the media for this debacle.
because my dad taught me to make sure I got my things together, kept my hands on the steering wheel in plain sight and to be respectful.
A relative and myself were traveling through Kansas and got stopped for "crossing over the line". Cop approached the car with his hand on his gun.... must of been because we were white.

Posts like yours are prime examples of why the word 'WOW' is part of our vernacular. Quite the contradiction between your first two sentences and your last two sentences.... something tells me that doesn't even register with you.
They also probably did not exhibit a hostile attitude towards the officers and did what the were asked of by the officers.
Lots of these police shootings could have been avoided if the people involved remained calm and did what they were told to do.
I am white and have been pulled over probably two dozen times. I have also never been shot and only once did I give the cop an attitude. I got pulled over for speeding out in the middle of nowhere on I-10 between El Paso and San Antonio. I had the cruise control on and knew for a fact I was not speeding. It was speed trap BS and I got in an argument with a county deputy who threated to arrest me because I told him he was wrong. The whole point of putting the cruise control on the speed limit was to avoid this sort of thing but this yahoo cop was going to ticket me anyways. I had to pay a $300 ticket or drive back 400 miles out of my way to fight it in a rural county courthouse where I probably had zero chance of winning. I paid the $300.
So the attitude of the person being stopped weighs in on all of this.

So you should have been shot?
