I bet they have seen more lately than in the past..... Forgetting Rodney King.


You are 284x's more likely to be killed by a cop in America, than by a terrorist.
If you are black it triples.


Profiling exists, because cops run on statistics.
A very small %, of only 13% of the entire US population, commits 53% of all murders, 69% of all violent crime and 72% of all burglary/robberies/theft.


It is what it is.


Is it time to leave the Democrat Plantation for most?

You mean when they got Dylan Roof and pizza and probably a soda drink when they started questioning him?

He went out and he held it on for 2 more minutes, while people around started to get really upset and the other cop backed them off with threats of violence to them too.
That is disgusting.... The level of bootlicking is where we are.

The trouble with cases like this is too often the prosecutor under intense political pressure (with raced based allegations) tries to get a murder conviction, and fails to do so, even though a lesser charged would hve been granted.
Result
Minority community and racial agitators are lathered up by the false leftist media coverage, and wind up rioting because of a perceived lack of justice for their community.

Are there bad cops?
Sure there are always some.

But don't make the assumption or leap that this incident equates to murder, based on the limited facts we know at this stage.

Depraved indifference.

My post does not apply to you specifically, in that case. But its hard for me to take some seriously when they claim to care about racism and antisemitism, etc., but only raise a ruckus when they can frame the debate and narrative in one way. Note, the issue with blacks attacking Jews in the Northeast ONLY became national news once death got involved when the two black Nationalists shot up the Jewish deli in New Jersey. I will gladly stand against racism, antisemitism, etc., no matter who is involved, but its hard to stand side-by-side with some who clearly politicize the issue, expressing outrage in some cases while remaining silent in others.
You have to speak up for your group. Everyone rides the coat tails of the black struggle. The reason that many minorities have certain rights is because the people complaining, marching and being looked down upon as agitators and trouble makers, is because of black people complaining about how blacks are mistreated. Blacks do the complaining and marching and all others groups inherit the benefits of our struggles....but they do not get looked at as people always complaining and blaming others. They don't get looked at as having a victim mentality......because they get the benefits from blacks doing the leg work that brings about changes that they then benefit from.

Why would he put his knee on his neck? The man's neck isn't a body part that can move on its own and pose any threat to the officer. He deliberately killed this man.

According to the report, he was sitting in a car before the cops got there.

Same people who rebel over the goverment overreaching and are refusing to cooperate with the smallest requests such as wearing masks because they don’t trust goverment pretty much want cops to have no consequences and be able to kill people if they resist at all even if it’s for even jaywalking.

And "matched the description " of the person they were seeking for forgery. At that point, he was merely a suspect. Now he's a dead suspect.
