Your thoughts on this murder?

[TitoFan]

The reason police officers do not use tasers or batons is that they are scared that the civilians have guns.

Just another wasted life and murder that could have been prevented.

But the police officers DO use tasers and batons and a taser was used in this case specifically.

The citizenry in the United States have ALWAYS had guns...the police aren't scared of the reality of that situation. Now having a gun while getting arrested, that's something where you know 100% without a doubt that you had best either be extremely quick on the draw and be willing to kill OR you'd better listen really hard to what that officer says, move slowly and deliberately in a peaceful manner to avoid being killed.

It's not rocket science and I don't understand how people can act like they don't know what to do, just remain calm, listen, don't talk, just listen, and do not resist.....if that is done there's 0 reason for an officer to give you a hard time regardless of skin color.

It's not rocket science, but you'd be surprised how many things that are supposed to be "common sense" need to be reinforced constantly to a certain sector of the population. Hence, my earlier post.

Ill Mannered Youth,

Loses again.

3-Days from now, nobody will care. There will be another issue somewhere else.

To be honest this is nothing new, same old story same out come DEAD , over excited idiot
with a gun, and a idiot not following instructions.
I am glad the boys in blue, are not all armed over here.!

My friend in work his cousin, is now a copper in OZ he was in the met armed response on
average would draw his fire arm, 20 to 30 times a day.
He's been in OZ coming up to 4 years, and has never had to draw his gun.!

6 more Blacks killed by Blacks in Chicago over the past 2-Days.

Not a Fucking Peep by the Press or News Media.

Yes Black on Black killings is more prevalent.

Yes Black on Black killings is more prevalent.

Yet the #blacklivesmatter group is relatively silent on those deaths OR people will actually get offended at that even being brought up. Also the people brought up as "wrongly killed" are often not very nice good upstanding citizens....like Mike Brown for example. Now I don't care if he had marijuana in his system or whatever the way things went down that day don't point to Michael Brown being "accidentally killed" nor do they point to Michael Brown being "savagely murdered by an uncaring authoritarian white police officer" ....the signs point to Michael Brown not really wanting to deal with authority on that day as evidenced by his treatment of the shop owner and later Officer Wilson himself.

"Tragic" that a man (18 year old) would act that way? Yes, I agree 100%

"Avoidable" that a policeman would shoot a suspect? YES, but the suspect can raise or lower their own odds by the way they CHOOSE to act.

It's not rocket science, but you'd be surprised how many things that are supposed to be "common sense" need to be reinforced constantly to a certain sector of the population. Hence, my earlier post.

Correct, but I'm never surprised, always disappointed. And of course I didn't want you to feel like I lashed out at YOU in my response, but it's so fucking frustrating as I am sure you understand.

No way would a group that call itself black lives matter not raise black on black deaths.

Guarantee they would be first to raise it.

Media are not interested for their own reasons.

Well you'd think that, but I haven't seen the same emphasis placed on gang violence in Chicago as has been placed on when a policeman shoots a person of color.


That said I'm not in that movement, I see it along the same lines as Occupy Wall Street, just a bunch of SJW's with nothing but time on their hands

Go Ferguson !!!

Sounds like the responding cops botched it entirely. Why was a rookie 4 months out of Academy allowed to split off from his training officer and when they met back up to confront him, the Corporal fires a Taser..and the rookie shoots to kill, simultaneously Of all cops, why no body cam on the rookies? Really both of these officers need to be terminated. Its not a race issue..although we're all hell bent to make that THE issue. We're loosing the ability, or willingness, to differentiate an individual case and instead default to this continuum of steadfast unthinking division.

El Kabong you have Bill backing you up. That says it all.

Seriously the reason why you do not hear about is the media have not broadcasted about it. I have seen Black on Black killings and it kills communities, people in the same church. Heartbreaking.
