Daniel Shaver. Flat out execution. The man was crying and begging for his life. This video is not for the weak of heart. The end of the second video is brutal.
Oh this case was so outrageous when I've read about it, ( don't even want to watch the video,) that I am sure had it taken place somewhere outside, in the plain view, with people recording it with their phones, this would have brought mass protests as well.
But it took place behind the closed doors, with no immediate exposure in the social media, and that made a lot of difference.
without google. name one. twice as many white people are killed by the cops each year, so you'd think we'd know one of their names. former high school graduate lebron james recently said, "they are literally hunting us" in response to ahmaud arbery's death. he claimed, "we can't even go on a jog." that same month, an 18 year old white girl was brutally stabbed to death by a group of black teenagers while on a walk in the park. without google, what was her name again? according to FBI data, in 2016, 3499 white people were murdered. of those 3499 murders, 533 were committed by black people. in that same year, 2870 black people were murdered. of those 2870, 243 were committed by white people. so if you are white and murdered, there's a 1 in 6.5 chance your killer was black. if you're black and murdered, there's a 1 in 12 change your killer was white. who's hunting who?
you are only making this thread because a black person got killed by police unjustly and black people took it upon themselves to get mad about it. This is long winded "All Lives Matter" babble. You posted those little stats about the white people killed by police, and you only used to make some kind of comparison to black people, not because you want your fellow white people to stop being killed by police. This is sickening.
And i'll use the same example I used before...this would be like men bringing up male rape stats as a way to shout down women who want to address rape. It's childish.
who? I have literally never heard that name in my entire life.
You've heard it twice in this thread.
It was one of the most brutal, unjustified, police murders in recent history. Watch the link to the videos I posted. Shaver had no chance. He was not walking out of that hallway no matter what he did. The was little or no public outcry, no riots. Which is sort of the point of this thread.

That is literally the most poorly conceived, stupid, false equivalency I have ever read.
Probably happened before some of the posters in here, can remember. That was a long long time ago, 1992. I'm sure there's a large population of members on this board who weren't born yet.
Probably right....
Waco wasn't too far from where I was that day.
Here's the thing... People assume just because they haven't seen/heard it themselves (often with selective hearing), that it doesn't happen.
I suspect that ATF didn't want to go just busting in because they feared the place was rigged to blow when breached or triggered to blow by someone inside who was waiting for agents on foot to breach the structure.

first off, u mad bro? what "little stats" are you referring to? the factual states that you dislike that came from the FBI website? are those the ones you're talking about? I think if anything, this is a "no lives matter" rant. the stats I posted were that black people kill white people at twice the rate of vice versa.

What made Waco so bad is that is wasn't one or two street cops making a bad decision that ended up killing someone in the heat of the moment. It was a long, drawn out event in which there was plenty of time for cooler heads to prevail. Even after the FBI/ATF realized it had turned into a cluster, they doubled down on their approach. A very sad event in American history.

again, I remember it just fine. janet reno. I remember all of it. I didn't recognize the guy from oregon.
