The way I see it, if the cop was a racist, he'd have let her stab the girl, and any other of the Black people she felt like, before he stopped her.
Although I DO agree with you - that the vast majority of people hope and expect that a cop will do better than your average civilian.
Well, this is how I see it. That girl stabbing another person is a violent crime worth of severe punishment. At the same time, there have also been cases where people with knives have been subdued without being killed.
I tend to expect better from the police because of this reason: Police are suppose to uphold the law. I don't expect a thug/hood rat to do any better. Said person is a hood rat/thug. Violence is what said person is about.
Because it doesn't shame/guilt nonblack folks ... which are the MAIN contributors to funding the lavish lifestyles of BLM founders. Oh and donations to politicians. BLM is big into that.
But no interest in community outreach, police education, scholarships for college, supporting single moms, tutoring classes, etc.
BLM has 2 interests: 1) White cops killing black folks and 2) collecting tons of money off of it.
Tamir Rice would be alive today if Timothy Loehman hadn't had "an inability to emotionally function" as a police officer, & if the Cleveland police department had subsequently reviewed his personnel file from the Independence police department prior to hiring him:
Quote:
Loehmann, the officer who killed Rice, joined Cleveland's police force in March 2013. From July to December 2012, he worked with the police department in Independence, about 13 miles (21 km) south of Cleveland, with four of those months spent in the police academy.
In a memo to Independence's human resources manager, released by the city in the aftermath of the shooting, Independence deputy police chief Jim Polak wrote that Loehmann had resigned rather than face certain termination due to the concern that he lacked the emotional stability to be a police officer. Polak said that Loehmann was unable to follow "basic functions as instructed" and specifically cited a "dangerous loss of composure" that occurred in a weapons training exercise. Polak said that Loehmann's weapons handling was "dismal" and he became visibly "distracted and weepy" as a result of relationship problems. The memo concluded, "Individually, these events would not be considered major situations, but when taken together they show a pattern of a lack of maturity, indiscretion and not following instructions, I do not believe time, nor training, will be able to change or correct these deficiencies." It was subsequently revealed that Cleveland police officials never reviewed Loehmann's personnel file from Independence prior to hiring him.[21][44] He had been hired in Cleveland despite listing his primary source of income for the prior six months having been derived from "under-the-table jobs".[45]
On May 30, 2017, the mayor of Cleveland announced that Loehmann had been fired for concealing details about his past employment in his job application. On his application, Loehmann said that he had left the Independence Police Department for "personal reasons" and did not reveal the Independence police's determination that he had "an inability to emotionally function" as an officer.[22]
That girl stabbing another person is a violent crime worth of severe punishment. At the same time, there have also been cases where people with knives have been subdued without being killed.
How does a police officer subdue a person who is about to stab another person to death in a split second?
Why would sheding light on the true issues be a problem? Shouldn't those issues be resolved?
Absolutely.
Instead we are being told it's systemic racism, cops are basically hunting black people, and AR15's are driving people to kill.
The true issues are failed policies in our inner cities, a mental health crises, and a small percentage of certain demographics disproportionately commit the majority of our violent crimes.
Why is the OP asking? Do you care about black lives regardless of who kills them? Doubtful. Sounds like you just want to continue deflecting attention from the obvious problem with policing in this country.
yes - deflection can be very obvious.
