IcePrincess 2,787 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 We can see that he didn't want to kill him but he had to. Police officer job is so scary. I'm watching this and having shivers. Police cam is really good option. What do you think about the fact that cops can kill when they are in danger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derpmonster 22,412 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Bodycams are always a good idea. If the state gives them power and authority to use their weapons on civilians, they need to be held accountable to the people. That way cops can exonerate themselves when there is good reason and not get away with it when they actually kill innocent unarmed people (especially poc) Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amidana 4,317 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 That's so scary I dont think it has to do anything with his race, but the fact that the man was charging at the officer with a knife Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress Dita 331 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The guy was charging at the officer with a knife.... and we make this about race vs. cops. Ridiculous. Lets see how everyone would fend if cops didn't exist. Yes some cops are in the wrong but that doesnt make all of yhem. Just another stereotype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEnigma 11,313 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 the main thing I have against people are who pro-cop in the black lives matter debate is the fact that they don’t want to instill more ways for checks and balances. Like we should just inherently trust that cops have the best intentions in mind. They are humans and ALL humans carry stereotypes and biases. Moreso than any job, police actions need to be watched and recorded. That way they can better train cops and create conversations surrounding these topics with real life situations. A cop’s job is hard and I personally couldn’t deal with the stress of possibly being attacked or killed on my job - but there’s no reasons we can’t criticize cops and try and get them to instill better training.

GypsyVida 5,960 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The officer's life was clearly in danger. I don't see a reason that he shouldn't have fired. If I was in the situation, I would have tried to aim for the legs, however they were both running fast and moving all about, so that would've been hard to do. Obviously there should be an investigation but I don't think this was racially motivated. currently streaming Zombieboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matangi 3,050 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 do not conflate this with killings that were completely uncalled for and where the victim had no weapon or posed no threat, that is where we are saying we need reform Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyanderson 379 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The title of this thread is literally pandering to those GGD users with internalized racist ideologies. I ask you to please revise. Thanks, A black person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did you read your sentence over ? You're basically saying white life is worth more than a black life. LMAO. I dont get it, perhaps you're reading into meanings that arent there..?
