Ok, well, that doesn't leave much option does it.

If there is no psychological reason for resisting... If it's not rooted in generations of fear, racism, etc... If it's not a form of protest, etc... That leaves us with the solution you guys have.

They are idiots. That seems to be the only other explanation being offered.

You say that as if it makes it okay? It doesn't. It's still the wrong move, and the police still have the right and the need to protect themselves when the people they interact with don't comply.

So the 3 guys that got murdered being discussed:
1) selling loose cigarettes
2) suspicion of fake $20 bill (i think it was real)
3) nothing

Did you watch the FULL video of GF? It wasn't murder. MAYBE manslaughter

I don't recall the details of the NY cigarettes case

The Jacob Blake case....what do you think would happen to you, as an assumed white person, if you started walking away from police that were shouting at you to stop and you ignored them? And then you opened up your car and reached down? Do you not think the cop would have shot you?

Let me help you:

1. Selling loose cigarettes initiated the interaction. Refusing to leave and resisting arrest is why he ended up dying.
2. It wasn't real. But again, that is why the interaction too place. Should the restaurant have just not called the cops? But again, it was the PCP and resisting arrest that got him killed.
3. Cops were called b/c of a fight/domestic that homeboy was involved in. That created the interaction. He died b/c he resisted arrest and reached into a vehicle when cops told him not to (not even arrest, I think they were just trying to talk and keep him on scene, but tough to tell from the video).

Yes I did, it doesn’t take a knee to the neck for 9 minutes to arrest somebody.

Cop came from behind & choked him out.

I’m still withholding my real response until more information comes out on that one. But my initial reaction is apparently he hadn’t done anything wrong & 7 shots to the back seems excessive.

That’s a bunch of BS reasons to kill somebody.

If I think someone is grabbing a gun to shoot me, I am not firing once...i am not firing twice...i am firing until my magazine is out or until I know the threat is gone. I am very puzzled by the outrage of 7 shots vs 1. If 1 is ok, 7 should be. If 1 is not ok, then 7 is not ok.

Again I’m waiting on more info to form my real opinion on this one. Still seems like too many cops are escalating situations when they’re supposed to do the opposite.

Resisting arrest and ignoring orders is not escalation?

3 cops were ambushed the other night in Maryland. How did they know they were to be ambushed? They did not. How did they know they weren't being ambushed in Wisconsin? They did not.

Lol I’ve tried to ignore your responses but they are so dumb.

The words of a fraud. Next step would be to ignore yourself.

Really don't see how you can charge any of them with anything after watching that. Just my opinion, but I saw enough to warrant what happened.

We all want the same thing. Justice.
You can’t fix an injustice with more injustice.
Justice is objective. It does t care about emotions.
So won’t know what justice is by jumping to conclusions based on our senses

Black woman steps into a Colorado business which serves Boba tea and confronts the Asian employees for stealing black culture and her reasoning for entering the business was because she thought it was a black owned entity. Boba tea is Asian culture. When a black customer tried to talk to her she called him a "coon." (video included in link)

You keep trying though, one day you’ll make sense with a comparison or analogy.

Yep just keep on killing unarmed people over things that should require a warning or a ticket & wonder why we have protests & riots.

In all these cases, warnings were given. They werent heeded

Or do you think wrestling with police and resisting police is worthy of only a ticket ?
