Looking at it from the eyes of a racist, which is what the BLM types are, you have a white shooter and a dead black man. The facts don't matter to them any more than they would have meant to KKK types 100 years ago in the deep south when you had a dead white man at the hands of a black man.
Essentially that's what we're dealing with these days.
I agree, my first thoughts were they should not have shot him since there was tow of them, but with the video and other evidence, I think the shooting was justified, especially in light they had a few seconds to make such decisions versus everyone else that has the luxury of sitting on their sofas and coming to conclusions.
How did I sympathize and enable their violence? I was simply saying "it is what it is". I'm trying to explain how persons in that kind of subculture/environment think and do things. I never said it was right. I was being very matter of fact with that I was saying. One of the reasons I don't live in environments like that. I'd get killed.

So in the first place if they said to the guy. Let's drive you home, leave your keys here. Would he be dead?
That's the way they use to do it.
50 years ago yes. Now you have all kind of lawsuits. If the guy didn`t drive drunk.....no he would not be dead. He most likely came close to killing someone else though.
I'm fine with them taking their time, my problem is the two of them failing to restrain a drunk guy and allowing him to take their weapon from them. If the guy who got fired was the guy that allowed himself to be disarmed by a drunk then it was well deserved.
Something tells me that the autopsy will show there was something else in his system beside alcohol. There almost always is. Floyd had meth and fentanyl in his system but that was swept under the rug considering the way the police handled the situation. Dude said he had 1 1/2 daiquiris, then it was margaritas. He was lying through his teeth from minute one. Of course, even if it was discovered he was high on crack or PCP, the mob will still attack and the left will not care.

The guy had no clue what city he was even in. He was very high or intoxicated. Had he been struck by a vehicle while he was wandering wherever he wanted to wander to, then the PD would be sued for allowing an inebriated person to fend for himself in an altered state. Not to mention, the charge would then be public intoxication, which likely would have resulted the same way when they tried to restrain him. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
On those rare occasions, my Hispanic father got pulled over, he didn't complain about it. Nor did he argue with the cops.
Once he was pulled over for speeding on the freeway. When the cop approached the car, he asked my father if he knew why he got stopped. My father acknowledged that he had, indeed, been speeding. He was given a ticket and was on his way. He didn't whine about it. Nor did he say that others were speeding and that he was singled out for being Hispanic.
As for "unjustified" searches, they happen to all groups.
What do you want police to do? Never stop any POC even if they are blatantly breaking the law?
