He's just a good ol' boy. Never meaning no harm. Beats all the cops he ever saw and been in trouble with the law since the day he was born.
"Jerry, dont do it, you're gonna get a ticket"
I didn't say that they should kill him. What I'm saying is, had they shot him, it wouldn't have been a questionable shooting, unlike many others.
This should be added to the OP for those who dont understand the context of peoples responses or feign ignorance
Of course he is.
Sounds about right. I've lived around that area for at least around 10 years and something like this isn't uncommon. I've seen and heard of some that are definitely not good but usually most of them I've come across seem to be laidback. When you talk to some of the people here about the police they don't see what goes on in the rest of the US given it's a bit different to a degree. This is also the area where Officer Tommy Norman aka the Celebrity Cop resides.
As long as you ignore the suffering of others, it's basically an oblivious paradise
Even white people have been perforated for less than that. He must have found a squad of pacifists.
We have almost 6,000 people in my city, and two cops on duty in each 12hr shift. We dealt with mentally ill people constantly. So, you're idea of white privilege, and extremely unlikely doesn't make much sense. I've dealt with black and white people, and never shot either. Black mentally ill person charges me with a bat, I din't shoot him. Drug dealer, black guy, has a gun to my head, we wrestled him down, arrested him, no shooting involved. Domestic dispute, black guy, black women, guy runs out with a sword and an axe, within swinging distance, I don't shoot him either. We had a few people that we routinely had to deal with. You become familiar with people rather quick in that line of work. I've probably been to 90% of the houses in my city for one reason or another.
I wasn't disputing what you're saying. Talking about this specific case and giving examples of how it's not always about race and it can be about how they've known someone or interacted with them before.
"Why did they just get down on the ground like that?! They must be hiding something! Shoot 'em!!!"
Lol literally documented evidence of black ppl being none violent and shot and yet this guy beat them abd stole their car anf you say its a hypothetical. this aint a hypothetical this is reality for black ppl
What's next is folks poking at various obvious cracks in your logic until your veneer of psudeo-civility dissappears and you tell us what you really think.
No you dont at all if this were a nlack individual he would have been shot at the slight momebt of resistance and if he wasnt there i asure he would have been the moment he got in that car
