MiltonWaddams Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just now, Sig1Hunter said: Did you not read what I wrote? I’m waiting for evidence to come out before I come to conclusions. You, however, have already appeared to make up your mind based on your predetermined narrative that cops love shooting unarmed black men in the back. See the difference? (That’s another rhetorical question, BTW) I think the statistics and evidence are in place to indicate that there is a problem in America, and in my country too, in which visible minorities are dying at the hands of the police force at a rate much greater than Caucasians. The gentleman in question was shot in the back 7 times in front of his kids. 7 times is absolute overkill and denying that is ridiculous. So, my “predetermined narrative” does seem to have some substance behind it. I understand that I have dropped into the world of the right wing, anti-BLM folk here on PPP. I should probably just go back to my liberal and generally friendlier group on the stadium wall and avoid this place. Sorry for interrupting. Continue on with your banter. Q will drop some knowledge for you later, so be sure to prepare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...is it because the actual objective statistics dont back up your POV? Nice deflection, though...”this must be a case of cops misbehaving because I believe that cops misbehave”. LMAO. What a joke. Seven times is “absolute overkill”, eh? Yet, the guy isn’t dead....weird..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdutton Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Dont want to get shot by a cop. Follow these simple 3 rules. 1. Dont commit a crime. 2. If you commit a crime and have a a warrant for your arrest and are approached by police, do not resist and obey their commands. 3. If you didn't commit any crimes and are approached by police do not resist and obey their commands. Unfortunately this world is full of stupid people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only potential reason to hold a conversation with someone like this would be if there are others within earshot. You'll never talk sense to a person this far gone, but you may influence a sensible third party who happens to listen in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

People on drugs or drinking don't have good judgment. So don't drive while under the influence. Also, you might think the cops stopped you for no good reason or just to hassle you and you might be right but don't try to practice law and the application of probable cause in the streets. If you get arrested and charged with something the courts are the place for that. Telling the cops they have no reason to stop you after they stop you invites a confrontation that you most likely will lose. I've been pulled over in traffic stops where I wasn't breaking any law. They asked for my license and registration, ran it, found both were clean, and that was the end of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
