So that’s your excuse for summary executions?

Not relevant. Stop resisting.

This was not a “summary execution.” The police did not intend to kill this man. They may have been recklessly indifferent but his death was not purposeful.

They didn’t intend to kill him. They were just softening him up before taking him out for tea and cookies. The poor man had the nerve to die.

Puerile emotionalism sarcasm doesn’t change the facts. They intended to subdue him. They didn’t just shoot him in the back of the head.

You can bet cops would have wasted this guy in 20 milliseconds in the US.

I am afraid it's true.

I see more clearly now in my early 50s, this isn't something that will ever change.

There will always be violent men. My 8th grade teacher used to tell the boys they would end up dead or in jail. One of those boys is now an electrician with a beautiful family with two college aged daughters. He didn't go to college but learned a trade, how to be an electrician.

There is a certain controlling personality type who will choose law enforcement as a career. No amount of empathy training or de-escalation training is going to change their behavior. They must be held accountable for their actions with the threat of prison. But most of these boys and men aren't afraid of the police, the law, or threat of prison. So here we are.

Can I have some of what you’re smoking?


The problem are guns. Police are a symptom. Cops would not be on edge all time, wouldn’t have an us vs them attitude, and wouldn’t be militarized if there were no guns. For starters, cops wouldn’t even need to carry guns if there were never 300+ million guns on the streets in the US. That’d at least reduce the risk of deadly police shootings and mass shootings by a lot.

I grew up in a small town with zero gun crime and the cops still had an us vs them attitude. Especially with poor people. American policing is the problem.

Your small town is not insulated from the rest of the US, which has tons of guns. The psychology of us vs them and militarization of police forces is everywhere across the country because we have guns everywhere. Dismantle the primary reasons for police needing guns and standard police training practices that assume individuals are armed and cops do not need to carry guns, and they also can stop brainwashing them into an us vs them attitude like the gestapo. In fact, we should have the same police patrolling neighborhoods on foot for years so that they get to learn residents names. Proactive policing is much better than reactive policing where cops only show up when and where called. Once they become integrated members of communities, they’re less likely to view the people they police as subjects that they need to dominate. But guns are entirely the reason we have a police force style and training of the police force like we have today.

Are you asking this in full awareness that the outcomes of that perspective are nonetheless very different for some groups of people than others?

Citation please? Show me the video or story of a white male/female resisting arrest violently and repeatedly and the outcome of their final arrest. I’ll wait….
