It's almost like natural selection While I can see what you are saying in his actions seeming illogical, I do think it’s worth noting that not everyone can handle that type of stress well at all. Moreover, even if the officer didn’t want him to go back into the car, why did he need to be shot? There were multiple officers there that could have held and cuffed him instead if they thought he was dangerous in any way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another video where the white man is CHASING the police officer. White peoples are seen as humans and black people are seen as insects . It’s disgusting ♥ Kindness Police.

Law enforcement is beyond help; they need a complete overhaul and reboot. Needs a complete renewal of the mentality of the country. A race obsessed mentality, with white superiority complex, with KKK still existing, when you have parts of the population who swallowed hand sanitizers to "kill" coronavirus, there is a major problem mentally. Maybe could be fixed by improving education, or getting rid of the money obsessed culture to be able to unlock the thought of possible actual socialism, helping others, promoting altruism instead of "success" which is just being rich. But I'm no expert I don't know I think there's an accumulation of things that are wrong there, gun culture, money culture, race obsessed, white superiority complex that just makes it seem very hard to change all of this with just a reboot of the law enforcement. When you have Trump as president, there's a problem. It's not normal. It's one thing to vote for Erdogan, another to vote for someone who said very clownish/stupid things in all the debates and treated it as a humorist would in a theater it's very very odd behavior there.

Jillie 115 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It’s so awful. The worst part is we have to keep telling people Black Lives Matter and they don’t get it. It’s sickening police brutality keeps happening. This man did nothing wrong. Nothing at all. Its just terrible that there are police officers in America who think it’s okay to use excessive force and attempt murder on Black people for no reason. It’s time to get rid of this corrupt criminal justice system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry just my opinion I don't think every country is perfect but the US always baffles me The issue with police culture in general is that most of these officers are being trained to shoot first, talk later. Most aggression can be treated with education; but the bigger problem is most aggressors don’t want to be educated. As far as the user who said reverse racism is real and white people are held equally accountable, not true at all. Breonna Taylor is a prime example. Did nothing at all, gunned down, and her killers are still working and on the payroll. That little 5 year old, Cannon Hinnant I think was his name, the state where he was from they literally had a statewide manhunt for his killer (a black man). They found him in 24 hours, arrested him, indicted him and will likely be in prison for life. Let the victim had been a black child, it would have taken 24 days or 24 weeks just to get something done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was a white man, he would be allowed to reach for a gun, fire a few times, and only then the cop would shoot him once in the leg. Maybe a bit of a hyperbole, but the point is black men are treated differently by cops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing!! Just use the internet to find all these examples and sadly there are coutnless of them dating from decades and decades, you risk your life as a black person in the US and that's a fact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's right there right in front of your EYES we have the internet now there's no excuse They immediately get defensive, which is funny because if you take away the racial context out of these tragedies and talk about them as if they happen to white people they suddenly get so sympathetic. The internal racism is a disgusting thing. It is in all of us in some ways and we have to actively combat it, but they don't get that I guess. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

I once had business with the CIA equivalent of my country, and apparently had the wrong entrance door and immediately had a... I don't know what kind one of the big ones, gun pulled on me, and it took some SERIOUS willpower to stay still and explain. I could have very easily freaked out.

The thing is... you'll find as many videos of white people getting brutalized as not. Obviously only the ones of them getting away with things go viral because of our social climate. It shows in the statistics. It's a problem with the police system compounded by racism. It's awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really could have immobilised him before he reached the vehicule and without the need to open fire on him. They wanted to kill another black body and nothing else. I'm glad he's alive, with public awareness he might be able to defend himself and put some cops in jail. Sorry I just heard about it now and saw the article recently. I'm late.
