[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have been on the other side of police shootings, you may not be as empathetic to the Dallas shootings. Even since Dallas, there have been 5 unarmed/ questionable shootings. Akai Gurley was an innocent killed by an over aggressive rookie cop. Why is the life of black innocent or guilty suspects less valuable than a police officers? I get her anger. To her credit, she posted the video to show how conflicted she was. She's admittedly not proud of or happy about her feelings. She also doesn't condone violence. She is working through her issue which she has self identified. She deserves some credit as she showed courage being openly honest about her feelings. This is the first step in personal transformation. Imagine how powerful it would be if people did this. The crux of the issue we have with blacks regarding LE, and really all other issues such as education, income inequality, etc., is that many people ultimately believe, whether they admit it internally or not, that black people, or most black people, have a culture problem. Others believe they have lower IQs and are just inherently lower functioning people. And these "facts" are the reason why they statistically are not doing as well as others. They see these views as not being P.C. instead for what they actually are: misinformed at best, overtly racist at worst. It's okay to feel this way, but if you understand what the feelings are, only then can you begin to address them.[/quote] Sure, she can hate the police. Lots of people do. She can think Johnson is a martyr. She can post her thoughts online. I can think she's an idiot. There are bad cops, and dumb ones who make mistakes. Mass shooters, whatever their cause or motivation, are terrible disgusting people. Always.[/quote] We need more people in this world like her. She's not an idiot, she's a person who is angry. At least she realizes it and knows her thoughts are not helpful. All you are doing is hurling judgement. She didn't advocate for cops dying. [/quote] No, we don’t need more like her. She doesn’t view these 5 police officers as human beings. She doesn’t view them as husbands, fathers, brothers, sons. She doesn’t view them as little league coaches, volunteers, Christians. She views them as white police officers. Period. She just doesn’t see them as human. In fact, I would say she views them as less than herself. I see nothing redeeming about what she has posted. If she is conflicted - deal with it privately. Why the need to post to social media? Other than to refer to the killer as a martyr.... I think she is sick. And, totally undeserving of any kind of crowned winner of a beauty pageant. There is nothing beautiful about her. [/quote] She saying there lives is no less or more important than the lives of the unarmed men the led up to this situation. Just because she has odd opinion doesn't mean she sick.[/quote] Their lives were more important. Seriously. You have to each crime separately. Alton's arresting officer. Potential criminal. Philando's officer. Potential criminal. Johnson. For real, criminal and terrorist (I don't know what else you call someone who shoots multiple people in public.) Far from a martyr. The 5 killed officers. And the others hurt. They had no crime. Wrong revenge victims, if that's (not) what was called for. This isn't even a debate. And I heard her comments, I understand them. I think she should have kept them to herself. -op[/quote] Sorry. When I say more important, I at first thought you were speaking of the cops vs. Micah. So let me be clear. Everyone's life is important ya know what even the criminals. They have potential to change. But a guy shooting up people in public. They HAVE to be taken down. They have to lose their life. That's it. Who would defend such a person? If you do defend him, you are racist. I'd say the same thing about any other public shooter of any other race or group. If their group were defending him.
