[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the police officers body cam caught the suspect raising his weapon.  The officer was justified in shooting Smith.  The actions of the local community - if you want to call them that - is horrible.  There's unedited video of them actively planning and attacking people for being white..its digusting[/quote]Based on what I've heard, the shooting was justified.  However, what has been happening in places like Milwaukee is that a shooting that may be justified sparks off years of built-up resentment of the community to abusive practices by the police.  That's pretty much what happened in Ferguson after years of police milking the community for multiple fines and charges in order to fund the government.  And in Baltimore, while the cause of Freddy Gray's death may be unclear, it's clear that the police have also been abusing that community for years.  The DOJ reports on police practices in both communities identified many questionable practices used by the local police departments.

Yes, people should not riot.  It hurts them and their community more than it hurts the police department.  But the police also need to be held responsible for years of abuse that are only now coming to light.[/quote]
