Cop says on the radio I think it’s a cap gun.. tells him to drop it .6 of a second later shoots him twice then handcuffs him. This was a legal shooting by police standards.
This stop will never show up on any fbi data stat but here is what an honor student went through for making a wide turn. Notice the condescending tone of the cop to the kid at the end. If you can stomach it that far. This is also considered a legal stop https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zIHoejJOvkE
posted by geeblockIf there was some way I could protest and stop crime I would. The deaths are the tip of the iceberg as far as the changes out justice system needs and what the protest is about. No one thinks it’s about George Floyd personally. I find the real problem is crooked prosecutors personally. I support police and have friends that are police and I have played in poker tourneys, golf scrambles and many many raffles they benefited the police and I do so every chance I get. Doesn’t mean I can’t ask for police reform and hold them to the highest of standards.
The 50 “accidental “deaths you speak of probably resulted in little or any jail time. The people who killed the cops are probably on death row right?
Supporting the police and supporting the BLM movement are complete dichotomies and mutually exclusive, especially if you read the BLM webpage and their demands.

The blm organization has a website.. the movement/sentiment doesn’t

It just seems to me that if black lives really mattered, if BLM was something other than a divisive political movement, that the focus would be on the TENS OF THOUSANDS of wrongful deaths at the hands of medical professionals every year as opposed to 50 by cops.

So you are denouncing the organization?

I don’t agree with some of the things they say and do not sure if denounce is the right word. I’m not for Marxism. I wouldn’t donate money to them. I think the movement is well beyond them and it would be best if they stepped down

It’s not a political thing for me it’s more a morality thing. It’s easy for me to support good police and be against systemic racism. It’s not that complicated.

I said it along time ago.....they missed their chance. They let someone else (mainly the left wing media) run their narrative for them and they came out looking like a marxist hate group.
BLM will never institute good as long as CNN and others are running the show for them

99.9% of the country hasnt seen in person a BLM member, talked to one, went or seen a rally or seen a "peaceful protest"
All they have seen is constant news footage of riots, looting, violence, screaming at cops, beating anyone that has another view etc.......
The left wing media pushing the constant footage of unrest to try in some way to stick it to the president has in reality smeared and clouded any decent message from BLM>
Lol Wheeler went into the protests in Portland last night and they shit all over him. He also had 4 security guards protecting him in the “peaceful protest”. Can’t wait for those skinny jean wearing idiots to get theirs.

Literally no one thinks it’s right to kill someone for selling cigarettes.
That statement was just SnL being SnL.
Wait, let me get this straight.
I say "someone selling cigarettes should not be killed by the cops"
You say "literally no one disagrees with you" and then "that statement is just SnL being SnL"?
So I'm confused, what exactly did I say wrong?

It’s fairly easy to find the douchbaginess if you read the post you quoted, then read your post.
You sarcastically stated something like you were saying something smart or profound yet it was something that literally everyone agrees with.
Not that hard to figure out.

Are you just taking everything I say and getting butthurt about it? because it sounds like that's waht you're doing.
You literally agreed with what I said and turned it into a negative against me. Do better
How many of those 48 cops were black?
The first sentence in that post is so hilariously false that you need to stop posting until you can actually enter reality for once. 99.9%? Lol, you just completely suck at numbers AND are a fucking tool who lives off what Breitbart tells him to think about everything. I live in a pretty rural area and I saw a (tiny) peaceful protest just driving through town one afternoon and heard of multiple larger communities having them with the only negativity I heard attached to any of them being FB/Twitter comments about random jackoffs driving by and shouting something racist.posted by Spock

Just because you drove by a peaceful protest makes my post wrong.....GTFOH. Your an idiot to think that the vast majority of this country has created their own thoughts about BLM. They arent, the media is.

You're* an idiot. No further explanation needed.
Lol “People who oppose us are pussies and won’t do anything about it”. Aim an AK at a random car driver in Texas and you’re probably gonna have a bad day. Play stupid games...

Driver was looking for trouble too. Drove right into the protestors. He knew what he was doing.
But yeah, saying “they’re pussies and won’t do anything to me” hours before getting shot and killed is pretty rough lol

This helps explain the rage that comes from the extremes.
This is why the what about Chicago is such a bull shit argument.
