POLL: How many recent police shootings would have happened if....

[Carl in Michigan]

The problem is - cops shoot black people at a much greater frequency than they shoot white people. THis is an established fact.

Because blacks are a greater threat to law enforcement than whites -- By FAR!

 

[bodecea]

]Depends on the situation. Clearly not every case of resisting arrest is one where you'd need to shoot the perpetrator.

No. ANY time you disobey the orders of a LEO you should be in fear of ending up dead. That's the incentive not to resist.

I don't disagree. What I'm saying is some people who resist arrest wouldn't be worth killing. I'd much prefer what you are talking about, but I was addressing how things are today.

But I agree, they should be fearing for their life when they make the mistake, no question.

Seig Heil!

 

[RetiredGySgt]

So you must be the one person who voted "100% - The cops would have found an excuse to kill them anyway".

I absolutely believe that you absolutely believe that.

Who cares what you believe, Termite.

The problem is - cops shoot black people at a much greater frequency than they shoot white people. THis is an established fact.

Facts also that black males commit violent crimes at a much greater frequency then white people too. But you ignore that FACT.

Resisting arrest in NY is a class A misdemeanor. We don't have any provisions for authorizing the police to serve as prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner for class A misdemeanors.

That is because no one has been shot for resisting arrest. They have been killed for actions that threaten the life of the law enforcement officer.

Failed again carby...

You lie.

I don't, but then, maybe I should be concerned. A professional liar like you may know what your talking about....

Wait.....

Nope, I haven't lied....whew...that was close.

Let's start here. Where's the threat to the cop's life?

Oh my, darktard seems to have fled the interview. What a surprise.

No you lying racist. I actually have a life that does not revolve around this place. Do you have anymore lies to tell us?

Are you serious? Why does the footage start ONLY after we see him breaking away from the cop?

In addition, are you going to lie and say that ALL stops end this way? Because the last time I looked, you racists are about 1 for 50 when it comes to cops and justified shootings.

 

[Lewdog]

Logical fallacy... white people resist the cops as well, otherwise you wouldn't have more white people killed by cops than any other group of people. With that said, it doesn't make the news when a white person gets killed by the cops... because it's not a headline grabber when it happens. The only time when a white person that gets shot makes the news is if it is by a kid and then the liberals can argue that our Second amendment rights should be taken away.

You care, Joe, because you go full drama queen about my opinions so often. Obviously.

That shallow little binary world of yours is fascinating to observe, though, I must admit.

The PC zealots don't take thought processes that far.

For them, it's not about improving anything. It's about political advantage.

Black lives only matter to them when it helps them. Look at the ongoing and ignored slaughter in Chicago.

...if it's true, release the video and get it out of the way. Show it to dipshit Al Sharpton, and make him get out there in front of all the Black people and tell them to quit their bullshit.

 

[Brynmr]

18 smart votes and one dummy.

 

[JoeB131]

Exactly. All these deaths are on them. Until they learn how to respond to authority, they will continue to die.

And I will continue to have ZERO sympathy.

If Authority started treating White People like that, you'd be the first one screaming.

If find it hilarious that you guys who think that the Second Amendment allows for open carry still think it's fine for cops to shoot a black guy because he MIGHT have a gun.

except that

Tamir Rice

Freddie Gray
Sandra Bland
Eric Garner
LaQuan McDonald
Walter Scott
Keith Scott


Were not committing violent crimes at the time they were shot or killed by police.

Now, you could make an argument that Mike Brown or Paul O'Neal were committing crimes, I guess, when they were shot, but not crimes that merited the death penalty.

Meanwhile-

James "Joker" Holmes, Dylan Roof and those clowns in Oregon had commited violent crimes, but they were white, and oddly enough, the police found ways of disarming them without shooting them.

so why haven't the police released the video?

 

[Anathema]

so why haven't the police released the video?

How about - Because it's evidence in an ongoing investigation that could taint a,potential jury pool if there were to be a trial.

 

[Maryland Patriot]

NYPD resisting-arrest charges more often filed against blacks

do blacks find themselves on the wrong end of he law more often than other groups?
do blacks tend to have an attitude while resisting arrest that might explain these numbers?
In other words, if the blacks had less criminals in their group, would the numbers shift to reflect that.

So what?

 

[Anathema]

So what?

Yeah, tainting a jury pool I'd totally unimportant, right?

Besides, the video is irrelevant. The cops gave him multiple commands. He didn't follow them. He deserved to die.

It strikes me that at this point, after we've seen the wife's video where she tells them 20 times he doesn't have a gun and he has a brain injury, the jury pool has already made up its mind. It kind of looks like the cops are hiding evidence at this point.

It strikes me that if you're stupid enough to believe anything in her video, you're exactly the sort of person who is destroying our justice system. In that same video the individual is ordered to get out of the car and to drop the gun. He does neither immediately. That's provocation to execute him so far as I'm concerned.
