Watching news shows of police brutality protesters holding signs and being interviewed by reporters, it is evident that what is going on here is a massive collection of very young (mostly late teens - early 20s), information-deprived kids, who don't know what they're talking about.
In one interview after another claims are made which simply are not correct. The signs being held say the same things that is being told to reporters. I saw a few signs that had names of alleged (by the protesters) victims of police brutality. Some names I did not recognize. Problem is, every name I DID recognize were NOT victims of police brutality. They may have been shot and killed by police (or gun licensed civilian), but that alone does not constitute police brutality.
We are a sophisticated society with highly organized sets of laws in every state. Across the country these laws are practically identical from state to state. Among these are laws pertaining to what defines or does not define excessive use of force.
Here are some of the names I saw on signs, and heard protesters claiming they were victims of police brutality (but were not) >>
Philando Castille - shot dead by cop, while reaching into his jacket. Justifiable shooting in self defense.
Terrence Crutcher - shot dead by cop when reaching into his SUV. Justifiable shooting in self defense.
Daniel Shaver - shot dead by cop while reaching behind his body. Justifiable shooting in self defense.
Travon Martin -shot dead by security while attacking the security person. Justifiable shooting in self defense.
Michael Brown - shot dead by cop while attacking the cop. Justifiable shooting in self defense.
Walter Scott -shot by dead by cop while running away. Justifiable shooting by Fleeing Felon Rule.
Anthony Lamar Smith. - shot dead by cop after cop ordered him to show his hands, and Smith refused. Justifiable shooting in self defense.
The protesters, insufficiently educated by university teachers clueless on law enforcement, and even more clueless about guns, don't know that it is correct to shoot a suspect (armed or unarmed) when that suspect does not show his hands (empty of weapons). For cops to not shoot under that circumstance, is to risk their life, while giving suspect the benefit of the doubt that he will not shoot the cop, instantaneously. This is standard police academy training all across the US.
Note: from the moment that a suspect's hands disappear, it takes him 1/2 second to pull out a gun and fire.
