Hillary is an idiot and divisive. Female police officer in Tulsa said the suspect was unresponsive to commands. PCP was found in the car of the suspect. If the autopsy reveals there was PCP in his system, officer Shelby is justified. People on PCP are dangerous and immune to non-lethal techniques as they're too much under the influence. Officer Shelby just wants to go home at the end of the, that's what most of us want. As a former LEO I support her. |
And Brown was a big teddy bear that wouldn't hurt a flea. Injustice should always be rectified 100% of the time in a perfect world and while that isn't possible it should be attempted in every case when it's identified in a civil society. But a rush to judge is absolutely wrong. I wonder how many hangings from mobs taking the law into their own hands had an innocent person at the end of the rope. |
+1 This is exactly it. |
This is not a small number, one is one too many. By your logic terrorists killing Americans is much smaller number than a white man with a gun involved in mass murders, terrorism and hate crimes. Why is terrorism by muslim americans given such a big focus while terrorism by white man is buried under the rug? Same way you are burying the cop killings and reasoning away. That is the insensitivity. Why couldn't you say, yes, this is wrong, this has to stop. NO MORE BUTS. PERIOD. I am white and I am able to say that because I am sensitive and I am objective and I have relatives in all races. That gives a different perspective about live and humanity. |
np Why are your links from 2013? Anything recent? |
I heard her statement. Didn't sound like she was condemning all white people to me. |
Lazy ass idiot. How does it change the fact that he has been criticizing blacks. I am pretty sure he hasn't stopped saying it in the past 3 years. You are the one who needs some critisizing and get you fixed for not being responsible, not reading up, not having the intellect. |
That's what they said. You clearly have never seen someone on PCP. He would not have been acting like the man in the video. His hands were up. What more could she have been telling him. What didn't he follow? His car broke down. Damn, a black man's car can't break down? Of course you support her. Her husband told her he looked shady from the helicopter. How can you tell from a helicopter? She said she made a mistake and shot him instead of tasing him. |
Really?? How the hell do you know. He talks about it all the time. |
Part of my response disappeared when I hit submit so I must have inadvertently erased it. First, I did say that one is too many. I also referred to your link and my reference was to Michael Brown, who was included in your link among the 15. So, because I question that I am insensitive? Nonsense. And now you are off on white men being terrorist and it being buried under the rug. Which if we follow that logic we have get into the number of blacks killing whites and other blacks and who white people are killing etc. FWIW, it will NEVER stop so long as you have human beings policing other human beings. And we should NEVER stop considering all aspects rather than focusing on only one. That is what a just society does. In a perfect society all are treated equally. We can strive for greater justice we will never attain perfection. |
You're FOS. YOU provided the links so why didn't YOU give something more recent if it was so easy to find. And I will bypass the easy target you presented in your response. |
No, it's not "plain wrong," and you didn't respond to any of the substance in my post. Clearly, something is wrong when the default for a shocking number of officers is to shoot a black person when that black person is unarmed or near their broken down car or is following the officer's instructions. Do you know why these killings are such a big deal to the AA community? And I'm a white person, an outsider to the AA community, but it seems to go a little something like this (and I won't go too far back in time because I know it bothers white supremacists to hear about slavery): black people have been subject to very uneven official policing - aggressive enforcement of minor issues, disparate sentencing, community concerns being ignored, as well as unofficial policing. What kind of coverage do missing black people get? Relisha is the only one I can think of getting significant coverage. And then let's talk about the real ugly apple - lynching. That wasn't so long ago, and law enforcement usually enabled it or looked the other way. Can you really not see that as a community, white people have some work to do? |
I don't agree with the nitty gritty of what you said but thats fine. I agree with the gist and the spirit of what you said. Humans fail and cops will fail BUT we need to remove elements of systemic failing which is the goal towards perfection. But in most of these cases there may not be any intentional racism based killing. |
It's obvious you don't have LEO experience and you're nothing but a spoiled SAHM playing armchair cop. When on PCP and acting like he did, non-lethal force doesn't work. Most cops have enough experience to see when someone is acting under the influence. I could usually tell right away, and tests proved me right. Have you ever ridden in a helicopter? Obviously not. You get a very good vantage point of the situation and can see quite well what's going on. |
Brother takes a knee -- whites all riot.
