[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is awful and hard to watch. My heart breaks for that poor man who was terrified that he was going to die at the hands of the police and actually did. Why did they cuff him when it was just a car accident? And he flagged them down? I don't understand any of this. That poor man. [/quote]

I am going to guess his very erratic behavior, which the officer initially thought might be DUI-related but it turns out was more likely the result of the cocaine and marijuana shown to be in his system.  I tend to judge against the police very quickly on these things and wonder why they had to tase him what seemed like 4 times, but I guess the drugs could explain that?

This video from the LAPD and timeline is interesting.

I do feel awful for him, his family and his students.  [/quote]

But he was unarmed and not a threat. There were also 4-5 armed cops vs. 1 unarmed man. He clearly needed help. I don't understand why he had to be tased. It makes no sense in most civilized countries that don't regularly kill people for traffic incidents[/quote] he may not have had a gun but a car can be a deadly weapon when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I tho k we can see that from the accident he caused. He’s an adult and should have known better. [b]Did he deserve to die? No[/b]. But his decisions got him here. [/quote]

He was not a threat. AT no time were the officers in danger. They spoke with him and he was non-threatening. Police officers lack training to deal with someone in crisis. There is NO reason that man should've died for this. [/quote]

Just stop this right now. He was in the wrong and people like you will never see that. [/quote]

DP. He should most likely be in jail. Alive. I hope you can see the difference between the two[/quote]

I hope YOU can see the difference between someone following the rules and this guy. Why can’t people just sit down when requested? He ran into the middle of the road and didn’t follow instructions. I guess if he got hit by a car you’d blame that on police as well. Just and fyi the rest of us are TIRED of fake racism. I’m the LA poster and at the protest location in my neighborhood) where there is always someone protesting (and often I will honk in agreement) there was one person there yesterday with their police brutality sign. One. The rest of us understand this is NOT George Floyd. Stop trying to make fetch happen. You’re not going to spread lies about my city. Gtfo. [/quote]

So if your loved one gets killed by police for a traffic stop, you're fine with it? Because he didn't follow the rules? The punishment is death if you don't listen.

I have a feeling that you don't think the punishment is death when it's you and yours. That's not fake racism.[/quote]

Do I think this is okay? No, obviously. But I would also be able to see, after watching the video, the part my loved one played in this situation. But you only see racism and police brutality in everything. You can’t see what other people see, and maybe that’s because of your own lives experience. The rest of us don’t see what you are seeing. [/quote]

That is because you are a white woman, and you sit comfortably in the fact that this will likely never happen to you and yours. So you can sit in your bubble and make judgements knowing that you will suffer nothing near the same.[/quote]

‘Make judgements’ ummm how do you know this poster is a white woman? [/quote]
