Are black police officers who shoot black suspects, racists?

BLM proponents feel that police are racially biased and much quicker to shoot a black person than a white person. Now many of the police involved in the controversial shootings, such as in North Carolina, were black.

Do you think black police are racially biased and more likely to shoot a black person?

Armed police attempting to arrest what might be a dangerous criminal is a potentially explosive situation. People react differently and have different levels of composure. Some obviously don't handle it well and some don't respect life that much. How many times a day does these an encounter happen in the US? How many times do things go wrong.

Is it due to racially biased police? If you are a BLM supporter do you think the black police are quicker to kill a black suspect acting strangely?

Black police are more likely to shoot a black person because a black person is much more likely to act dangerously during a police stop. We hear all these stories like Keith Scott was holding a book, or how the guy(Mike Brown?) had his hands up and saying don't shoot, or how Joe Black was acting peacefully, then video or pictures or evidence comes out proving that the guy shot did indeed have a gun, or was indeed trying to kill the officer or how Joe Black had been lying about everything. Many Blacks would not be shot by Officers (white, black, asian and hispanic) if they were, instead of carrying a gun, carrying a book. As simple as that.

So your answer is no. I was interested in some bum replies.

Any shooting of an AA is racism based.

Black police officers tend to be more racist than white police officers.

It is BLM who is racist, not the police.

If you're referring to the most recent murders, the answer is no. The shooters weren't being racist, they were just being murdering pigs.

Skin pigment has nothing to do with being incompetent at your job. Unfortunately, when a high school educated lowlife is given a gun and "authority," things go badly.

So why don't you get out there and show us how it's done? Police are hiring and they pay pretty well with full benefits and retirement

I dunno. Maybe he isn't real fond of being in a position where he will either have to cover up the violent crimes of his colleagues or spend his days watching his back. Maybe.

Of course they can be.

The same way that some women can discriminate against other women, Italians can discriminate against other Italians, and the elderly can discriminate against against other elderly.

Heck-- even Hitler discriminated agianst short, dark-haired non-Aryans.

Why is this even a question?

Or maybe he won't want to rescue your little P#ssy arse when you are crawled in a ball after a big bad bully wants to kick your behind.

Lets see here. "When confronted by a cougar do not run - their predator instinct will kick in". Very good advice. When confronted by a law enforcement officer do not run - their ass kicking instinct will kick in" - and rightfully so. Once again very good advice. How about not running? Since democratic voters are supposedly so intelligent (and 95%+ of AA voters vote democratic), why do these AA "victims" continue to run and expect a good outcome?

yes

Just sounds like an excuse to me. If you're going to talk the talk walk the walk. He claimed incompetence, so he should show us competence. Man up.

So many racists on this board. The police have a bad history of shooting blacks even when they have their hands up. Studies show that this is starting to initiate a PTSD response. The police need to treat blacks with respect if they are cooperating and many are when stopped, not shoot them.

Actions, attitude and choices have consequences. When a group of people, be it rednecks, blacks, rich kids of instagram, liberal arts graduates with 150K in student loans and etc. are called out for their actions, attitudes and choices, that does not make one racist, bigoted, mean, uncaring, stupid, uneducated, etc.

And yeah I'm black, but fortunately I don't "act black enough" as numerous people of color have told me throughout my life. Never had a problem with a law enforcement officer or "white folks". Of course I am sure if I visited a small southern town after dark there is the "possibility" of things ending up bad for me. But I can assure you if any white person ventured into parts of most major cities after dark things "would" end bad for them.

So quit throwing the racist card all you white privileged SJW's. You are nothing but weaklings.

What a bunch of crap you spew. Unjustified police shootings of blacks is extremely rare. Most blacks shot deserve it. They often are wielding a gun and acting dangerously. Take your lies elsewhere, son.

Become a cop? Hahahaha..

I have morals and integrity. Going to work each day to take away people's money and freedom is not something I'm interested in.

Police need to be eliminated. They have faked "change" for decades. It's only with the introduction of video evidence that people are finally able to see what was known for years

Black police are more likely to shoot a black person because a black person is much more likely to act dangerously during a police stop.

Oh please. White people are allowed to stand-up against the police far more than black folks can.

Cops know they can shoot black people without harming their career.

I am ashamed of the ignorance of so many of my white brothers. Complete suckers for the ruling class propaganda.

Yeah I am ashamed of the ignorance, and fear, of so many of my white brothers also. Quit pandering to us and call those out that need calling out. Instead you give credibility to people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, BLM who once the media attention dies down leave - having done nothing for our communities. It doesn't take a white rocket scientist to figure out what is wrong with black society in America. We have been lead to believe that all our problems are due to the white folks.

Our attitudes - due to the white folks.

Our lack of fathers - due to the white folks.

Our incarceration rates - due to white folks.

Our treatment of women - due to white folks.

Our inner cities - due to white folks.

Our murder rate - due to white folks.

Our education rates - due to white folks.

Our perception by others - due to white folks.

Our employment rate - due to white folks.

I thank God everyday that my parents "acted white" and taught us respect for others and ourselves, the importance of education, the importance of life, the importance of family, the importance of hard work, the importance of respect for law and order, the importance of a proper attitude and most importantly that our actions and choices have consequences.

If all of the above are considered "acting white", then I guess I am white. Like my father always said, you can act white or act black but at the end of the day your actions, attitude and choices are what will define you.
