Sex offender/illegally armed/pedo black man killed by cops

[brocktonblockbust]

Convicted pedophile, sex offender, illegally armed with a 9mm handgun, illegally dealing stolen CDs in a dark parking lot, and threatening to shoot a civilian,---- the civilian calls police who rightfully try to search him, BUT HE GETS VIOLENT AND AN ALTERCATION ENSUES. He MAYBE goes for his gun and gets SHOT DEAD by two cops who say their lives were in danger.

Or as the news reports it another innocent black teen killed by police

The 2 Nazi KKK white supremacist cops cruelly cornered the angelic, peace-loving, altruistic saintly black man. When the black man blessed them in the name of Jesus Christ the Savior, the demon-possessed honkies began frothing at the mouth and Satan gripped their police weapons as they evilly mowed him down.

Yeah, OK.

Some accurate Shooting right there.

We don't wait until the body chills and the facts catch up anymore I suppose. Kind of a fucked up approach and naming of the guy with keyboard resume of violations. I saw a guy tazed, football tackled on the hood of a car then held down and shot 3 times on the local news today...muzzle to the chest and then a cop roll off him and watch him bleed out. If I knew a mans history before I approached I'd have the convenience of justifying anything really.

It's akin to having riots prior to the facts coming out

Agreed. I want to know at WHAT POINT are some of the black victims going to say to themselves " DAMN! POLICE BE MOWIN' DOWN BROTHERS EVERY DAY LATELY. IF I GET STOPPED, MAYBE I BETTER LET THEM QUESTION/SEARCH ME WITHOUT FIGHTING BACK."

at what point do they say " you want me to get on the ground? WELL HELL YEAH OFFICER! NO PROBLEM!"

Police were called because Alvin Sterling had allegedly threatened someone with a gun. Police arrive, confront Sterling. Sterling resists arrest even after he has been tackled (and maybe tasered). Sterling continues to resist even after verbal warnings with the officers on top of him and according to the video the police believed he was reaching for his gun....which he had.

Now it's not appropriate to just shoot every single felon who somehow acquires a firearm, BUT felons are not supposed to have firearms it is against the law.

It will be EXTREMELY difficult to judge the officers and it's a shitty situation for all involved.

If you resist arrest ESPECIALLY in a situation where the reason the Police are there is because of somebody threatening another person with a gun the consequences ain't gonna be good. This situation is fucked, it's difficult to determine intent for Alvin Sterling's resisting arrest but that is a life and death choice at that juncture and the Police decided that it wouldn't be them. Could have EASILY gone the other way in this case.

You are a disgrace.

Ah a special appearance from the "Town Crier"

Police have a duty to protect themselves, the public and the offender who could be mentally vulnerable and not in control of themselves.

It is a difficult job but they are paid to make these difficult decisions.

Police have a duty to protect themselves - True

Police have a duty to protect the public - False

Police have a duty to protect the offender who could be under the influence of a drug or mentally unstable - False


Master, the police LEGALLY speaking, have no duty to "protect" anyone other than themselves.

What in the flying FUCK is happening in today's society??

All these goddamm killings... and society is unable/ unwilling to differentiate between one and the other. People... in SOME cases, it's the cop's fault..... in OTHER cases, it's the citizen's fault. Pure and simple. Black Lives Matter advocates would have us think ALL killings by cops are the cops fault.... whereas another sector of society thinks NONE of the killings are the cops fault. It's mind boggling.

Losing track of them by now... seems there's one every month. But still remember that guy (black, of course) that got stopped by the police (white, of course). The guy takes off running, and gets shot 8 times in the back for his troubles. Luckily for us, the whole thing was recorded by some guy's phone. So there we have an obvious case of a complete asshole who should've never been 50 yards from a police uniform, much less a weapon..... killing a guy who's running away from him. Whatever happened to him? Suspension for bad behavior? I lost track.

Then there's the guys who resist arrest, reach for their pockets, do all kinds of crazy shit.... possess criminal records..... THEN.... when they get shot.... they predictably get painted as little saints and all hell breaks loose against the hapless cops. ANOTHER white cop shooting of a black man.

When is all this fucking sickness going to end??
