And if you read my posts on this subject you would realize I agree with most everything your saying lol. Honestly I have never said cops are perfect or deserve QI, I just know how easy it is to be judged by people who are not wearing the same boots. There is corruption, incompetence, bad people mixed right in with ones that are good people and do a good job. As far as these incidents go it’s astonishing to me that people cannot understand that if you get pulled over or are told by a cop to show your hands or whatever your better off complying than fleeing or fighting regardless of the situation, every time I say that people confuse it with being a bootlicker or caving to a police state which is bullshit. I follow the same thing I preach here, just do what your told when they are talking to you during an interaction, you can iron it out one way or another if your innocent rather than fighting them. I figured my statement of a “Scared cop is just as dangerous as a thug with a gun” comment would prove that. I hate plenty of cops and supervisors I can promise you that, I also have some very dear and close friends in LE that I care about and it’s frustrating to see them getting lumped in with the shitbags wearing the same uniforms.
Or at the very least supply them with frying pans instead of Tazzers.
Huh? She doesn’t know taser from deadly force. Her training is inferior. The ol’ stress excuse. Not knowing left from right. It’s pure negligence and it cost a human life.
I think our only real disagreement here is that I don't think a suspect "stupidly and wrongly" trying to resist arrest automatically deserves a death sentence by the government agents on the street.
And again I never once said this kid deserved to die, he didn’t but his actions had a trickle down effect and the end result was him going into the ground forever. I mean to put your life in the balance in a potentially scared, poorly trained, incompetent Officer by fleeing or fighting is not a smart play. These people should know this by now, black or white it don’t matter. It’s front page news anytime a cop shoots someone especially if they are black and it’s a white cop and it’s the same thing over and over again. Stupid actions result in a potentially stupid response from a cop.
I agree with you
If he did not try to escape or flee or whatever. Then none of what happened would matter.
Taser companies have warned about this for a very long time and yes they do train on it.
I learned yesterday that a large part of this forum will call you a racist for believing we should be held accountable for our actions.
I see her being the next Chauvin, and sadly this kid is the next George Floyd, golden coffin and all. In reality this is what happens when bad decisions collide and unfortunately with our current state of media nuance and context is out the window
This is the root of 90+ % of the problem. You got people who lose sight of this basic fact
Everyone sucks in this situation. I will say that the cop should be held to a higher standard than any random civilian. Whats really digging at me is that we all know how the narrative is gonna go down. Evil white women with a badge murders unarmed black man in cold blood.
Just read and quote my other posts and you will get it. Maybe
