‘I’m Not Jumping in After You’: Arizona Cops ‘Stood and Watched’ Black Man Drown

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

So, in other words, he put himself in that situation after he was warned not to? The cops aren't lifeguards. Why should they jump in after him and put their own safety at risk? As usual, the media places that information halfway down the article while implying at the very beginning there is a racial motive when there is no evidence of such. One cannot hate the media enough for the division they create in this country.

Both Bickings and his partner told police they were merely arguing and there had been no physical contact. And both seemed cooperative with police, according to bodycam footage.

But when police began checking Bickings for warrants, he climbed over a 4-foot metal railing and entered the lake, wading several feet offshore.

“What are you doing?” a cop asks.

“I am free to go, right?” responds Bickings.

“You can’t swim in the lake, man,” another officer says.

“You’re not allowed to swim in the lake,” another officer says.

Bickings’ mother filed her lawsuit in May 2023, accusing the city and officers of negligence and wrongful death, listing the three officers as defendants.

Of course, she did, because why should her son be held accountable for his own actions that resulted in his death in the first place, right?

One less mouth for the taxpayers to feed. Maybe he will start a trend.

 

[MarathonMike]

I remember when this happened. The lawsuit should be deemed frivolous but the Mom knows she'll get a cash settlement.

Poor choices on all sides. "Protect & Serve?"


The cops. This is an old story. Cops I knew growing up would never have been sad sickening in their response and views.

I bet you were and are against Crisis teams responding to people in trouble scenarios -- got caught in the bs around what "defund" meant.

And you're worse than any mythical media you are so high and mighty about. The story is from the:
Atlanta Black Star/News

They are Not any "The Media" anymore than a violent criminal pardoned by Trump because he participated in Jan6, is The GOP

Racists! Calling out to all the racists here! Let us be honest, there are many virulently, out-and-out racists here at usmb. Always have been, but more came over after a certain point with the racist message boards going under.

Many racists here are very much like Bill Maher. He'd probably spout the posts some have and will be making. And this is the mild form of racism. The form where people claim they can't be racists "because..."

Maybe the cops can't swim.
Arizona isn't exactly known for it's water sports.

 

[odanny]

7 people have drowned in that lake in the last 5 years. He aint the first, and won't be the last.

She got $150,000.00

"Evolution in action"

I fail to see how this sad tale would have ended differently had Sean Bickings been white.

It's easier to settle than to fight in court....no doubt at the urging of the insurance company.

That's over. You lose. We are done being held responsible for shit we never did.

 

[Dante]

That's over. You lose. We are done being held responsible for shit we never did.

There you go with that "we!"

Years ago I'd get upset that troglodytes like you actually believe you can speak for, let alone actually believe that you are representative of the so-called "White Race." Then I felt pity for the ignorance of people like you. Now? Apathetic.

First of all, Race is a human construct. - Class dismissed (pun.)

People turn on filters. Never uses the slur, Nig-grrr. Lee Atwater spoke well about that one.

You start out in 1954 by saying, “******, ******, ******.” By 1968 you can’t say “******”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “******, ******.”
Harvey LeRoy "Lee" Atwater

Others can read up on: GOP (Grand Old Party) - Racist Party with their Southern Strategy - Ken Mehlman & Michael Steele & Lee Atwater & more than a few others.

...

Again, People can and do turn on filters. Never using the slur, Nig-grrr. But people are judged seriously by their actions and a little bit more. And I've denied to Black people I've met and became acquainted with, or became friends with that a systemic racism exists in America. Heck that thing exists all over the world. See Asia.

 

[Correll]

Yeah, insurance companies are great for that.

They don't give a damn that they are encouraging the next scammer.


That is not their problem.

And even if it is, it isn't their money, so they don't really give a ****.

And our civilization dies.

Yet, you are comfortable with speaking AGAINST the white race.

Whites as a group have not voted for dems since the mid 60s.

So, it is clear that we are, as a group and increasingly so,

done with your holding us responsible for shit we didn't do.

Atwater also said that his generation, ie the southern boomers, were the first southern generation that was NOT racist.

You believe that too?

We are not being judged by our actions.

No matter what we say or do, it is never enough.

So, we are done with you adn your shit.


GO **** YOURSELF.

It's all about the numbers...and the money. That's all that matters to those at the top.

I've heard a lot of bad things about AZ cops. Mostly excessive force.

GO **** YOURSELF.

I was at a Block Party in East Hollywood, LA yesterday. I spoke bluntly with white, latino, and black people there. They know genuineness vs racism as soon as it rears up.

Whites as a group have voted for Democrats back in the day when the Southern White, Christian Conservatives (Many KKK) were powerful forces within the Democratic party. When left for the GOP, we got what Atwater was speaking to.

Your victimhood is hilariously sad and pathetic.
