The impression I was getting is that getting shot by a white cop was indicative of the white power system trying to kill off blacks. The cop being black ruins that narrative.I agree that most thought he was gonna be a white cop. I personally have an issue with cops shooting people no matter what color anyone is.
I'm sure you people will find something else to complain about whatever happens. But the rioting in this case is completely misguided, because now even the autopsy shows he wasn't shot in the back.
The body cam video is going to show the guy had a gun.
Just like that Nevada rancher was the wrong hero for the right, the guy who got shot in this case is unworthy as a hero.
He is just a fucking [prohibited word, rhymes with HUG] Originally Posted by DSK

You know, African Americans could really turn the tables on these cops. They could quit carrying illegal guns, quit committing crimes, get a job and work hard. That would teach Whitey a lesson! And it would also do better to reverse trends in racism faster and better than any government program. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyWhat?

What about the ones that did nothing wrong and were shot because they were black? Do you think Tamir was guilty? what about John Crawford. The media stays away from those cases and exploits the others, causing riots. Why is it when a white guy goes nuts with a gun they figure out how to disarm him. How many white guys aimed guns at the police during the Clive Bundy deal and not one was shot or even arrested.

Why is it when a white guy goes nuts with a gun they figure out how to disarm him. How many white guys aimed guns at the police during the Clive Bundy deal and not one was shot or even arrested.Unfortunately, in both those cases, people had called the police and said that someone was waving, swinging and pointing a gun at people. When an officer goes into a call he must go on what he knows, up to that point. From there he tells the suspect to put down the gun (whether a toy gun or not, you do what the officer says), but the problem with a certain mentality of our society is they wanna do what they wanna do, and at the end of the day all the officer wants to do is go home to his family, not get into a long drawn out quandary because some moron decided he was going to do what he wanted. We have rules for a reason in society, listen to them.
I see all this talk about the second amendment. Black folks are literally using it to escape oppression and the white Gun lovers are turning a blind eye to it. Originally Posted by MT Pockets

Here is another thing that bothers me. In Dallas when the Police got shot. There was two groups protesting. The second amendment guys were there marching with the BLM group. Who did they pick as a suspect? The token black guy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...rying-a-rifle/ Originally Posted by MT Pockets

I submit to you once again, had these individuals learned respect for authority from their parents, they would not be where they are at today.It is the lack of good parental, aka as a male figure to teach these young men. They have no one as the men just want to dip their stick then move on, and the women, their just looking for more money from the government aka you and me (yes I pay my taxes). So what do these young men do, they look for a male figure and someone who will give them attention, guess who they find it in, the thugs on the streets and the gangs. Very sad it is a revolving situation generation to generation and it will take a long time to turn around if ever.
I also recognize there are two sides to every story and videos There was a case a year or so ago where luckily the second video emerged. The first showed the man in what looked like hands up and everyone wanted to rush to judgment. Luckily the second one emerged showing the man had a knife in his hand which was hidden by the utility pole.
