many of those shootings may have been justified. Who knows.. Police should deploy lethal force under certain circumstances.
But if you think this justifies videos like what we say, with a cop kneeling on an incapacitated guy's neck for nine minutes and watch him slowly die, then you really need to look in the mirror and reflect on the person you have become.

Nearly all of them are justified. This one was not, it was murder and the officers involved will go to prison for it.
Still not a valid excuse to riot and loot, if you think otherwise, you really need to look in the mirror and reflect on the person you have become.

I do not think it justifies what happened to George Floyd in any way.
I have no idea what makes you think that from this post at all.
What happened to George Floyd was disgusting and I hope the cops involved get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
But trying to make this a racial issue by pretending to make like this only happens to black people is equally disgusting.
And if you think that riots, vandalism, looting and violence being committed against people who had NOTHING to do with what happened to George Floyd are in any way justified or appropriate.......
Then you're the one who needs to look in the mirror.
YOU signed up for the police state, not Black people. Of course you're okay with however many White people die b/c that's the system you pushed to abuse Black & Brown people. Your types don't care about collateral damage.
I support black areas being unpoliced, the law of the jungle applies....business should be as good as Somalia.
your raw statistics don't take into account any actual analysis. Blacks make up only 13% of the population so are way out of proportion targets of Police Shooting. Now you can argue that Blacks also commit way out of proportion criminal acts thus placing themselves in positions to be more likely shot. And this would be a fair opinion to argue and study but these raw numbers do nothing.
edit: a t.v. is a bad choice prices keep coming down. iPhones are where the real money is at, can carry more and worth a lot more these days.
blacks are also more noncompliant and more likely to resist arrest.
this didn't appear to be the case with floyd though.
Exactly. And I'd also like to add that pretty much most, if not all of them attacked the police or caused the officers involved to act in self defense/fearing for their lives or the safety of others around them because of the actions of the suspect(s).
