You are apparently to dumb to understand how the law works.

Good

Fuck him

Sorry if I'm repeating what should have already been said 1000 times

That training video doesn't explain away the specific scenarios that did happen.

Which SPECIFIC scenarios are you talking about? And in those SPECIFIC scenarios, how were the officers involved treated? And are those SPECIFIC scenarios instances of human error, or are they evidence of police corruption and racism?

See, this is the problem with Kaepernick's protest. There are no specifics. The actual evidence shows that cops are more likely to shoot white people than black people, so why is he complaining that cops aren't treating black people fairly?

 

[shopson67]

How about this one?

 

[Broncos6482]

If police are trained to shoot a guy approaching them that clearly is unarmed like that, then the training is wrong. That's deplorable and cowardly.

The point of the training was to not shoot the person. However, if you think it's that simple to tell if someone is armed or not, you are ridiculously naive.

But let's say the person is unarmed, at what point is it ok to shoot someone who is much larger than you, won't listen to you, is clearly angry, and is approaching you in an aggressive manor? Should you wait until that person is beating you and trying to take your gun before it's ok to shoot them? Or should you wait until they have control of your gun and actually fire a shot at you before it's ok to shoot back at them?

Yes, that case was awful, and that police office should lose his job. He's not fit to be a policeman.

One incident does not make a trend.

 

[_phiLLies_]

an honest racist

don't throw that word around improperly like 99.999% of the country does. i was simply saying black people in general usually do the wrong thing in these situations. how that somehow translates to "i hate all black people" is perplexing.

I have been to a range a few times, but don't own a gun. Never felt the need.

Wouldn't want to live somewhere I did need to own one.

I've been as critical of Kaep as anyone since the start of this because of his misrepresentation of the flag. But as time goes on I realize just how much many of his critics are guilty of the same thing.

Eric Garner would be alive today if he had complied with police.

Tamir Rice is a terrible tragedy, and IMO dispatch blew it by not telling the officers that the caller said the gun was "probably fake" and that he was a "juvenile." However, I do agree that the grand jury probably blew it by not indicting.

The Philando Castile shooting is still being investigated. Considering it took place just barely two months ago, I'm not sure what else could reasonably be expected at this point.

The guy that shot Walter Scott has been charged with murder and is awaiting trial which is scheduled to begin next month.

5 Statistics You Need To Know About Cops Killing Blacks

Aren’t more white people than black people killed by police? Yes, but no.

How a controversial study found that police are more likely to shoot whites, not blacks

I remember in Missouri when Brown got killed and they started " protesting" All the stores got looted, buildings smashed and cars burnt. That's showing the poor owners by robbing them and hurting there family

I'm sure all the electronics and merchandise was donated to charity. Most didn't give a fuck about the kids's life because 99% of the team a AA person dies, its by the hands of another AA, it was a weak excuse to die. When a caucasian gets killed, how many riots and lloting is going on? Bottom line stopped killing each other, respect the law and many saved lives

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

meh..I'm sure another $ponsor or 2 will pick him up.


Meanwhile..many organizations and businesses can't boycott/leave the state of North Carolina fast enough now it seems.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I wonder what the late Pat Tillman's take on all of this would've been......

 

[Cyder]

I would guess most people that hate Colin Kaepernick and Brandon Marshall for not standing during the national anthem are probably the same people who don't give a shit about the point of their protest.

And if your ire is stoked by someone not standing for the national anthem, you probably have an awesome life. If that is what does it for you things must be looking pretty bright.

Or we actually looked into it and discovered the movement is based on lies and false narratives.

How about this one?

Piss poor cop, not racism.

The #1 cause of death for black males 14-34 is homicide. For black males 20-24 years old 49.9% who die (Numbers from the CDC) are victims of homicide, almost all killed by other young black males. The percentage of white males that age that die of homicide is 8%. But the police are the problem, not the overwhelming violence in black communities

With Garner's obesity, smoking, high blood pressure and heart disease, all of which were factors according to the coroners report, who knows if he lives another week without ever encountering a cop. What has not been publicized is that the black, female Sgt in charge of the arrest was never charged but was finally fired about 6 to 8 months ago. Although she was kept off most of the videos you can hear her in the background saying "He can breathe".

Holy hell.
