I think they wanted the feds (Trump) to go full live rounds on citizens.  That hasn't happened, and the movement is now spinning out of control.

 

Yup.  Or at least some type of excessive use of force.

People are already playing pickup games in WNY rinks (shhh).  Just have to get dressed at home mini-mite style and drive to the rink.  And no showers.

That's true but police use non lethal excessive force more against black people than white people.  It's less likely to draw scrutiny or gain media attention.  It's part of the reason there's such a deep mistrust between black people and the police so when a shooting like this occurs you see an outpouring of frustration leading to looting and rioting like you're seeing now.  

 

I think holding officers accountable for using excessive force (choke holds, pushing them to the ground, striking them with a baton, etc.) is a starting point for real policy change.  Unfortunately, the "code of silence" still runs rampant among police departments.  I'm highly skeptical that any meaningful change happens any time soon.

Are black males disproportionately responsible for the commission of violent crime? Are black males more likely to violently resist? If both if those are true, would that give context as to why law enforcement is more likely to use force while arresting black males? Do the people that resist lawful detention/arrest have any responsibility when force is then used against them?

So you think cops should just have a license to murder? Sure seems that way.

Cops have a license to protect themselves and others.

You are an especially bright bulb in this dim, dim world.

[Sig1Hunter]

This is a perfect example of what happens when physical control doesn’t work as planned, and the suspect gains access to his car where he retrieves a gun. Facts very similar to Jacob Blake.

Lol. Well what do you know.  Don Lemon finally states the obvious.  It took polling data and focus groups to get him there though...and not some friggin common sense.

No, I’m saying violent criminals should be dealt with. Where do you see that I am making excuses for murderers? And what does this have to do with Trump? And where have I said anything about him (in any post)? This isn’t about politics. It’s about right and wrong. And it seems you are wrong... since you are obviously out of arguments.
