Sounds like they were found by juries to not be unjust.

99.999% of cops dont wake up and think i cant wait to shoot a black guy today.. its just not a thing. Back in the days with widespread racism, sure. A lot more back then

Yeah & there are going to be a lot more riots until the ones that are obvious murders or manslaughter actually get charged.

Ok? And I haven't referenced black guys, I've always said people. Cops are proven to bias towards black & latino males but my argument that all police brutality & unjust murders to anyone need to result in proper punishment.
 
Looks like the kid wanted to be a badass and was walking around with a gun. Protesters started chasing him and attacking him and throwing bricks at him so he opened fired. It looked like he was on the phone afterwards before running away when being chased again.

I never called you names...calm down.

I have plenty of arguments. But tired of repeating them. Let me know when you actually watch the entire arrest video of GF.

People will always be killed by people in authority...especially law enforcement. Sometimes innocent people are killed. It sucks but it will happen. My opinion is that it does not happen at an alarming rate

Yeah & I've yet to see an argument to where EG deserved to be choked out & GF deserved a knee to the neck for 9 minutes. I've seen the video, doesn't warrant a knee to the neck for 9 minutes.

When innocent people are killed punish those responsible. The alarming rate is that they always get off when it's clear the police were in the wrong.

Wow that's crazy. Do we know if he was killed or killed anyone?

cool.

I'll be sure to remind you in a couple years when things get even worse that this is the result of liberal BS and media propaganda. There will be a lack of cops and the ones that are left are the ones that you don't want to be cops. Crime will spike. more people will get murdered.

Lol what are you talking about? How does this have anything to do with the discussion?

So the guy running with the gun shot somebody or was he shot? Or both?

Shot 3 people. Killed 2. Last dude might lose an arm due to amputation. Shooter is 17 years old..

I hate this ****. Governor refused national guardsmen. So dumbasses run around with rifles protecting property that they don't even own.... Stop all this bull****. Everyone.

I'm ready to divide the country in half honestly. In good faith, i think it's the best solution. But no crossing over.

Because you think cops are running around getting off scott free and are helping spread the false narrative that there is a huge problem with the police.

I do believe the US is too large for a republic. It would be best to split it up. I don't think that will ever happen though

Thats the thing tho, these arent actually as obvious as the armchair lawyers make them out to be..

I said black guys bc i haven't seen you be in up in arms over a white guy being killed yet for some reason.. maybe if missed those posts. I'm sure there is likely more bias against blacks and latinos and any thats unjustified is bs and should be eradicated.

Can we agree that people in poverty disproportionately are more likely to commit crimes at a disproportionate rate? And for whatever reason, which groups are disproportionately in poverty?

Whites will always exceed the raw numbers in just about any statistical category bc whites make up 76% of the US pop. So there will always be more pos loser whites doing stuff in raw numbers more. But do you think its possible that blacks and latinos could commit crimes at disproportionate rates as to their percentage of the population, or no?

The ones that unjustly commit crimes are. I’m not for defunding the police, opposite actually. I posted 1-2 long posts about the immediate action that needs to occur to get on the right track to reduce this crisis we are seeing. I don’t have time now but tomorrow I’ll scroll back & try to find it so you know my actual belief on the subject, not the one you made up for me.

no. He walked up to the police with his hands in the air and complied with their commands as for as i could tell and he previously had been walking around with those police so i imagine that they remembered him.

He walked right past the police with his hands up and left. He was apprehended today in Illinois.

There are only a very small percentage of police killings that are unjustified & should result in punishment for the officers. But in these cases the officers are getting let go. Riots are happening bc every time there’s a killing the people don’t believe the court system will provide justice & they think the officers are lying because it’s happened in the past.

I’m up in arms over all police brutality & unjust killings. But on this board only certain cases are being discussed by everyone.

Absolutely. ABD has hit this subject consistently.

Maybe slightly more, but the rates show it’s a huge discrepancy.

Some cops drove past him to the shot people, including a guy with a hat that said paramedic that was holding a pistol. Some cops stayed put, i imagine they talked to him, idk that for sure tho
