The people being shot by police aren't murderers.
And: criminal activity doesn't warrant death sentences by police.
many of these people are criminals or just dumb fucks who do dumb shit and die. lumping actual victims with dumb shits and criminals isnt very cool imo.
is it just me or are the people that justify police shootings with "but he had a gun!" often the same people who cling desperately to the second amendment like it's the only way they'll live to see the end of the week
many of the fuckers that had these guns are felons who shouldnt have had them in the first place. a responsible gun owner would know not to do dumb shit with their gun when the police are nearby. are cops not supposed to defend themselves if they legitimately see a gun and believe that they are in danger? even in a dangerous job, you still dont want to die prematurely.
I would be more likely to resist arrest if I knew that holding my hands in the air still gets me gunned down.
this post confuses the fuck outta me. like wtf????? that is not a valid reason to resist arrest
at all (not that there are many valid reasons). that would just get your dumb ass killed. compliance increases your survival far more than resisting arrest will. if a cop shot a person who was compliant, punish them with a firing and jail time. yes, this does happen, not as much as it should i guess, but it definitely happens.
-blackness made a social construct which was deemed reprehensible and genetically subhuman for hundreds of years-
-problems from this social contract still permeate in modern america in institutions like the police, education, and health care-
common response: -let's erase hundreds of years of blackness and deem it artificial; instead look at the big picture of how it affects People.-
there are still problems with these systems today, but can you actually prove that all this shit has the focus of fucking over blacks as an entire race? like actual evidence?
also worth noting that you didnt mention hispanics too who also apparently have to deal with much of the same shit, guess only black lives matter huh? even if you only focused on blacks because the topic is focused on blacks, you just ignored another interesting piece that couldve been added to your bullshit for some reason.
If those three are not police brutality, then what are they? Was every instance of these people dying correct? I read what you wrote. How am I supposed to interpret it? I think I did so correctly. And because you believe that one instance of police brutality ever existed, you get to say that it's an isolated incident.
I think that you don't say exactly what you mean because you need just enough of a thin veil to not be called a racist, while still being appreciated by like-minded people. And when others see through that veil, you whine every time that people are using straw men and buzz words.
If I am wrong in my interpretations, in the future please be more clear. Tell me exactly what you mean when you say that it isn't police brutality for a man to be shot to death because he's on pcp.
mike brown was 100% justified. the tulsa one looked like a bad shoot, but that angle was pretty shitty from the helicopter, and the video quality was wack. still, it looked unjustified from what i can see. still looking for info on keith scott, but he was a felon who
allegedly had a gun. btw that "protest" was a joke, rioting because of white police killing people but 1. the dude who shot him was black and 2. the rioters were attacking people and looting. a black man dying by police couldve have had his race factored in significantly, and it could not have been a factor at all. depends on the situation. provide proof, like ties to a neo-nazi group or something. btw, calling dude a racist who hides behind a thin veil is bullshit. can you prove dude is a racist? is saying what he's saying racist? calling someone a racist without actual proof is pretty weak, if you ask me. being shot because you're on pcp
alone isnt a good reason, i agree, depends on his actions.
Keith Lamont Scott "had" a gun in an open carry state. There is no reason surrounding the possession of a weapon that warrants a murder by the state in that situation (reminder that a similar scenario happened in Louisiana with Alton Sterling). Clearly the protection of the second amendment is only extended to white folk as it was originally intended.
1. he was a felon, shouldnt have had one in the 1st place. 2. again, black cop shot him. 3.
allegedly doing dumb shit with a gun is dumb, especially with police. 4. plenty of blacks have guns and use them just fine with no issues with police, etc., so stop your bullshit. 5. alton sterling was justified, here's a video explaining why down below. the cops couldve handled it a bit better, but he still couldve killed someone. 6. alton sterling was a convicted pedo who had a long ass rap sheet and was a deadbeat father. this doesnt mean that he deserved to die, no, it means that that positive propaganda about him was total bs and the world will not miss him.
edit:
I'm not saying that people should resist arrest. Not resisting is quite logical.
But when you are black, even when you're innocent, and you see a cop walking towards you gun drawn, nothing seems logical in the moment. You might get killed resisting. You might get killed not resisting.
applies to all colors, not just black.
