Terence Crutcher's hands went down before being shot. He's attempted gun violence against cops before & is ex-con.

Well that's what we all disagree on. It goes give a cop the right if they're disobeying orders, to the point where they think they're going to attempt to kill them. 100%.

By your reasoning, since cops are trying to kill them, blacks 100% have the right to kill cops.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would anyone expect a cop to follow orders from a civilian (whether black, white, or yellow)?

Again by your reasoning, since cops are trying to kill blacks and have total disregard for them, blacks 100% have the right to kill them.

In the last week, we have seen two black men get shot by police...

-in the NC situation, the man had a gun.

-in the Okla. situation, the man had a history of pulling a gun on police.

Again, I am not covering for police. The Tulsa situation appears to be very close to murder, but it remains to be seen in court. But, the main point of this post, is to point out the recurring narrative of black men, non-compliance, and guns.

There is a problem, and probably on all ends... so, how is it taken care of?

United States cops all wish they were rambo. Last week, I was in Paris on a trip and while I was there, rioting got so out of hand that five cops were SET ON FIRE. They didn't fire a single bullet, but used other means to calm the crowd down.

I remarked how crazy that was to the French guy I was with. He responded that "well, they work for us. They can take a shot at the person who set them on fire, but they better not start shooting at anyone else. They knew what they were getting into when they signed up."

Every other French person I was with thought I was the weirdo for being amazed by their restraint. I'm not suggesting cops become that complacent here. But I do believe the burden of restraint should lie with them. It's honestly not that dangerous of a job when you look at statistics.

You know a trash collector is twice as likely to die on the job as a cop? Being a cop is the fifteenth most dangerous job in America right now in terms of yearly fatalities. Nothing justifies them constantly wetting the bed and shooting people.

I'm always nervous around police officers, they're out to get blacks and put them in for-profit prisons. Statistics bear this out.

Video just came out. No gun. Oops.

He was tazed. Of course he put his hands down. Why can we not use tazers and leave it there? Why do we have to shoot. Why do we see many more police shooting in our country than anywhere else?

This!

Clearly you aren't black. This is pretty much the definition of white privilege.

Larry Goldstein wrote:

Because people break down everyday, and very very very few, are shot. I live in really big city, where cars are stranded multiple time per day, and it just doesn't happen.

Pointing out that people have car issues in large cities, and they don't end up getting shot, is the definition of white privilege? Oh, ok.

1916: Blacks get hung by whites, for any reason at all.

2016: Black people get shot by cops, for any reason at all.

You're a moron, and lack comprehension of reality.

Interestingly enough, in 2016, they get shot by other black cops.

Clearly that was not what I said.

He doesn't think officers just hop out of the car and draw a gun...

Yeah, you did...

I doubt an officer just pulls up and hops out of the car with gun drawn. Especially when the calls are not reporting violence.

Why do you doubt that?

The actual theme with these shootings isnt that any of these people were armed(just about all weren't). The theme has been the attempt at criminalizing the deceased in order to justify the killing. As if the criminal record of the victim in any way justifies the killing.If no one noticed, the cops lied about him reaching into the car seeing as how the window of the car was rolled completely up. If no one noticed, the reason crutchers arm went down was because he was tazed. How much sense would it make to reach for a potential weapon while still keeping your other arm raised?

This is what BLM is protesting.

You imply that things are like 1916 is an insult to blacks who lived through that time period.

There is still racism in the United States. Yes. But have some perspective. You disgrace all the people who fought and battles through the civil rights movement

I know you're just trolling with racism, but this is why BLM is protesting:

"in 2016 black Americans have been three times more likely than whites to die in interactions with police"

BLM are racist and when they attack white people for no reason, that makes them animals. I shed no tears for any felon who chooses to defy cops and then end up dead.
