"I was afraid for my life!"

Tweet that I came across today

"is there was another country in the world where cops killed people at rate they do in America, state dept would advise you not to go there"

Are we satisfied with that?

I get it. You're out of ammo. Move along now. Unless you want to embarrass yourself more than you already have.

What, exactly, is exceptional about a nation that has our murder rate? Our crime rates? Our absolutely appalling ranking internationally in secondary education? I deal in facts, not hyperbole. The problem is, you don't have an answer except to call someone's patriotism into question. You utilize this tact because you expect it to sting and for someone to recoil at the very thought of being accused of somehow not thinking we are exceptional. Here's a clue; we aren't. What exactly is exceptional. I'd like an answer, not more verbal diarrhea from you. We used to make things. We used to build and produce things. That's all in China and other parts of the world now. We are a service-oriented economy now, not a manufacturing economy. Instead of dealing in bullshit and name-calling, I challenge you to give me a real answer. I don't think you're capable of it. I think those muscles have long since atrophied. We're number one in all the categories you don't want to be number one in and we're middle of the pack in all the categories you want to be number one in. As long as we keep plodding along thinking everything is ok, we'll never improve.

The link below is the Officers dash cam video that eventually lead up to the shooting. I find it unusual that the officer didn't call in the location of the stop or give a vehicle and license plate description. Then instead of ordering the driver out of his vehicle the officer casually prances up to the driver side window. This Officer is either inexperienced or just a dummy. Or maybe this shooting is a Psy-Op. I'll just throw that out there for now because this whole incident based on both videos doesn't make a dam bit of sense.

That's just for personal safety. Officers don't know who they are stopping. Walter Scott could have just committed a felony crime in an adjacent town. So tell me all about the rational reasons for not doing so.

Maybe his mind was on something else. We assume that officers are locked in and focused but they're human beings, prone to the same loss of focus as anyone else. He could have known the guy. I saw a story earlier that said they were in the Coast Guard at the same time. Stranger things have happened. I don't know. And that's the answer that so many are afraid to even use. I don't know is an honest answer. To say, definitively as you have, that it HAS to be one of these two things, is not an honest answer. Because the answer is we simply don't know why he didn't do any of those things. Humans are not comfortable not knowing. Hell, that's how the majority of the world's religions came into existence. Not knowing is no reason to believe just anything that comes along.
