For these types of jobs, you will not get the sophisticated scholar, right? What is the option?

They manage to contain themselves when interacting with white people, so the real issue is racism, not that they aren't sophisticated scholars.

Umm, no. Act up - get shot. White, black, or green with purple polka dots. Cops don't care. They want to come out of it alive.

The video of the actual arrest hit the web today. There were two arresting officers, the killer and - sorry to disappoint you - an AA officer. The victim vigorously resisted an arrest, was pulled out of the car was thrown on the ground and handcuffed by - sorry to disappoint you - an AA officer.
An officer who held back the protesting crowd is - sorry to disappoint you - an Asian.

But don't let facts get on your way, carry on.

The killer was involved in a fatal shooting before, I suspect that he is a sadist.

So racism is so pervasive in police culture that even black and Asian cops buy into total disregard for black lives. Thanks for pointing that out.

Nope, but your statement is.

DP. Once they had him under control, that was over. Then they chose to use excessive force to do what, prove a point? There was no imminent threat and the cop killed someone because his ego was bruised? Still murder.

You sound very close minded, so this will probably fall on deaf ears. Even the liberal WaPo did a study on police shootings, and their findings are contrary to your views. More white people are killed by cops than black people despite black people committing a disproportionate amount of violent crime. Ever wonder why asians are rarely killed by police?

Black people are convicted of committing a disproportionate amount of violent crime. You can't make your statement given that not everyone who commits crimes are arrested or convicted, and the law is not applied evenly. Please stop saying this.

And this video just shows the cop pulling him out of the vehicle. If he was already inside, why would any idiot pull him out instead of taking him to the station? The other video showed him willingly walk with them.

I encourage everyone to go out on the streets every day and deal with the people they have to deal with while fearing for your life. It's not easy and it wouldn't be for me.

I was taught that anything you say following the word but is precisely in support of or justification for the first part of your statement. "I'm not saying what the officer did was right BUT...I am."

I could have worded it a different way. My point is that it's easy from the safety of our comfortable homes, in our upper-class privileged lives to just make comments on any new story. I am coming from a perspective that I am glad that there are people who are willing to be police officers, soldiers, etc doing jobs that few of us have the guts to do.

I'm still not conveying what I am intending to. Can't find the words. It just bothers me in general when liberals (I am one myself) clutch our pearls and cry out in horror at various stories, while huddled in our $500K homes in our privileged lives. Meanwhile, we wouldn't last a day in the world these officers have to live in.

Limosuine liberals I think is the term.

Simple question: Did the cops kill him yes/no?

If your answer is “No” then you’re a sick, delusional and despicable piece of shit and you obviously get off on being an anonymous antagonist on social media.
Get a life you weak-minded fcuk.

If your answer is “Yes, but...” and you can’t admit that they killed him without saying some shit to defend their actions then you’re only slight less sick, but you’re still a delusional and despicable piece of shit and obviously too stubborn and stupid to let go of your prejudices for one second to objectively accept the truth.
Get a grip you weak-minded fcuk.

My husband is a 19 year police/army vet. He was horrified, and also not surprised by the video. He 100% condemned it. No "but . . . "

Investigations must happen....

I’m about to drive out there to riot myself. This is appalling.

Why is it not ok for people protest this death but it’s ok for armed nut jobs stormed storm a government building because they don’t want to wear masks?

WTAF?

We need our stomachs turned. We need to get outraged. We need to change this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lirHz93qJ50

I would show this video to my kid and say "Whatever you do, do not make the police get physical with you. Do what they ask you to do and keep your hands where they can see them. If they ask you for your license and registration and you have to reach into the glove compartment to get them, say "Officer, I need to reach into the glove compartment to get my registration. I need to reach in my pocket to get my license."

In fact, I have already told my kid just that.

I am NOT defending that cop for kneeling on that man's neck until he died BUT this all could have been avoided if that man had been respectful and compliant from the get go. Again - I am not saying that what this cop did was in anyway excusable. I am saying that the man would still be alive today had he been respectful and compliant with the officers.

We need to get this message across to our kids somehow, someway.
