I also believe this was already answered. There are opportunistic people who are only vocal when people of authority kill the black youth and it’s evident. However it is worth noting that even AL Sharpton brought up valid points about the way things were handled in terms of charges being brought forth against Officer Wilson. If I find the video I will link it. As much as I dislike the guy he had a point and this would not be brought up if people of similar ilk didn’t care if there were no difference in the outcry of blacks killing each other vs. Law enforcement going out of there way to kill citizens and being let off the hook.
this doesnt dispel anything i just wrote
rather it plays to one side
its blatantly obvious that cops should be held up to a higher standard
the reason why im mentioning public on public crime as well is because they are almost parallel to each other in terms of violence with weapons. in the same week as Ferguson happened there were probably a number of other incidents that took place.
i know that during this incident there were multiple other cases of shootings in the same weekend
in areas not too far from where that happened.
those stories get backpaged while this one still lives on because of who did it
im saying that both should be highlighted the same especially since to further that fact they are still trying to solve the other cases (I would hope)
this story is pretty much open and at its close you know who did it, and the circumstances
eh at this point im probably venting
people disgust me the media and like the above said are mostly opportunistic to goes against authority. its a ulterior motive for face time instead of representing your community in a higher insight into the multitude of issues that occur in your area
This looks a bit suss but if it’s not fake these guys got thrown in jail for using fake guns in public whilst making a film sketch.

Dumbasses should get the jail for wasting police time.
Here is my thoughts.
First, l think that if that toy was actually real and was used on an innocent person/kid walking down the street the cop would have been facing heat for not acting and preventing a fatality. Cops are trained to act whenever they see a threat towards themselves or to civilians. I know it sucks, and if i were the parents/family of that kid, i’d be pissed as hell losing my kid like that and since this kid was innocent then it has to justified straight up.
- What pains me is that whenever a black person gets shot it automatically becomes a race card issue. *I’m not attacking every black person in the world from what i am about to say… but anyway, I’ve seen some pics of the protesting and it just sickens me that people are going “he died because he is black and nothing is fair for blacks”. How long will it take for those people (who protest the bogus race card) to realize that no body cares anymore about their skin color. It isn’t because of being black but because of the stereotype black people get which is: being criminals/thugs/“gangstaz”; truth is black people have no one else to blame but their own for that stereotype. I know i will be bashed for sounding like a racist, but i’m not. I’m just stating the facts.
I know there are millions of black people who are good people, and that’s great for them but in reality dealing with black people who are breaking the law either by murder or theivery is at least 80% of a cop’s entire life. Look at the most dangerous areas in the US: Camden, East St Louis, the southern parts of the Bronx, etc etc… all of the most dangerous cities in the USA that have a crime rate 5x the norm are black neighborhoods. There are 8-12 year olds in those areas that walk with guns mugging/shooting random people they see so how the fuck are cops going to take a black person lightly based on experiencing/hearing shit like that in the past? Allot of black people need to get overthemselves and just put down the signs saying “another hate/anti-black act on a cop”… you guys want the world to treat you right, in where you’ll stop hearing a “black person gets shot by a cop”, then speak to your own first because statistics strengthens the stereotyping.
Stop pulling shit out of your ass. Black people (and White people, to be fair) are killed by the police every fucking day and nobody so much as bats an eye because we’ve been conditioned to take the police at their word. It just so happens that cops happen to chronic fucking liars and pretty much anytime there is actual evidence, it directly contradicts key, if not all, parts of their story.
Look at this story, the police said he was in a group and they warned…in actuality, he was by himself and they almost hit him with their car while shooting from the passenger seat.
Look at the Mike Brown case. Nobody questioned or took the gun from the officer and the coroner didn’t even both to take crime scene photos. And then the cops go silent for a week before changing their 3 times within an hour, all while leaking irrelevant footage (by their own account) of the victim.
Look at the big dude in NYC that got choked to death for no fucking reason. If that tape didn’t exist, pretty sure police apologists would be saying he was resisting arrest, as it stands now they’ve already said it was his fault for [???].
As an aside, half of all police fatalities are from car accidents. Meaning you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than a cop is to be killed by a suspect on duty.
I was talking about the race card that is pulled off. Like when a black person is killed, massive signs of “it’s because he/she was black” are all over the place. I don’t think i’ve ever stated that only black people are killed by the cops so i kinda think you should read better before posting like what you did here. Your examples are a very small % in comparison to what happens in the actual streets every day. Drive by Camden and tell me how many shootings you’ll see around the block in just 5 hours. We have seen cops kill people and lie their asses out, no doubt but as what my point is. The majority of killings isn’t all because of a hate towards skin color it is because of the massive stat that created the stereotype.
Actually you should probably read your own post a bit better.
Like I said before, stop pulling shit of your ass. When police kill Black people under suspicious circumstances and lie about it then yeah, “the race card” gets pulled.
Oh no Thurst, it is you who needs to read better. I think it’s obvious that you hit the reply button after reading half a sentence… read the whole thing first and try to concentrate as to what the point is .
The race card has been pulled on almost every occasion. I think if you read/understood atleast 5% of what was said, my post is really talking down on the race card issue as if people still think these crimes are legit hate crimes based on skin color or ethnicity when it really isn’t. Like you said, Cops have been known to kill other people other than blacks and then lie about it so clearly you have not been contradicting my posts as much as you intended too. I’m not going to rephrase my posts so that you can have a better understanding of it, because you’ll reply with your far from the point contradictions anyway just like you normally do for the last 11 years.
Protip: Cops kill over TWICE as many white people annually, compared to black deaths by cop.
Here’s the city’s response to the lawsuit by Tamir Rice’s family:
City of Cleveland: Tamir Rice caused own death when a police officer shot and killed him - http://www.vox.com/2015/3/2/8133873/tamir-rice-lawsuit
lol what a load of horse shit.
As expected. A cop who had to resign from his first officer job after breaking down to the point that he couldnt be communicated with during a firing test, who failed an entrance exam for another station, and simply just didnt get hired by 3 others, finally got a job at this department, and the first thing he does is act like hes in the wild west.
He will get off scott free for sure. This wont even make it to trial, and if it does, he will still walk. I’m sure a jury will just say he shouldve gave up as soon as he saw the cop lights, and got on the ground with his hands behind his back. That If he couldnt comply in 2 seconds and got shot, thats on him for not being a superhuman. Plus the video of him pointing the gun at people will automatically get peoples emotions riled up,as the D.A goes to try to prove how shitty of a kid he already was (Not implying he was, but the cops lawyer will try to show that).
Cop will keep his job, this wont go to trial, and if it does, he will be found not guilty. Murica.
I honestly dont know anything they could legit charge him with that would even remotely stick. Not that i dont believe that the murder of that child was unjust, and could have been easily prevented, but no murder charge would stick, manslaughter wont stick.
This is just one of those moments where we have to learn a lesson about raising our kids and replica guns, AND also about unfit officers still being allowed to find a way in somewhere, only to inevitably end up doing some fuck shit like this in a job that he likely shouldnt have had in the first place.
Breaking down on the job like that cop did, should be a mandatory year off minimum from getting any officer job, and you can only be considered after seeing a pyschiatrist. If you fail the written, another penalty. You shouldnt be able to be a fuck up and still just play the numbers game until you get a gun and a badge again.
Cops act like this because Americans allow it to happen. Both black and white, Brown or yellow.
