really. Have been tied up at work all day and just got in. Had no idea any of this was happening and figured he had some take on this. I am honestly asking what his position was because I missed it.
were fanned because there were news accounts speculating that it was another shooting of an unarmed black man by a white cop and then you had the nonsense with the victims family calling people white devils and crackers. If people only saw those accounts, they have a slanted picture of what happened.
And undoubtedly some of them have merit. But there is no acknowledgement that the shitty, false conclusion to which the person jumped fed into wider hysteria that led to looting, rioting and injuries and even deaths. If you actually give a shit about helping people, have the humility or the restraint to wait for the facts to come out before you assume that someone sworn to protect and serve callously took another life without the barest justification.
Appear to be extreme intelligent adults who have a lot to offer society. After working a full day being useful they came home had dinner with the family ,read their kids a bedtime story, and now on to The streets to loot and riot. Way to further your cause people!
rock and a hard place.
On one hand you feel empathy that African Americans are treated differently than others by the police (I do) but then protesters act violently at demonstrations causing more tension and further violence which requires further police presence.
Saw a Black Muslim Imam dispute that the cop who shot the fellow in Charlotte was a black cop and said it didn't matter because he is blue. He said the police are lying and the guy didn't have a gun. Hell the police weren't there for the an that got killed, they were responding to another address/incident. Whatever he did made him get noticed by the police.
RE: RE: RE: RE: If this is in fact a riot built on a lie...
So what is this all about? Just cops vs blacks even if the cop is black?
Well, many of the protesters were saying the guy was shot by "white devil cops", so I thought it was relevant to point out that it was, in fact, not a white devil cop that shot him.

Don't bullshit us bud. Just own it. You hate Obama and every chance you have to passive aggressively attack him, you'll take. And that's fine. It's your right.
Just don't come on here and lie about it after you get called out.

I think the federal government should fund body cameras for every armed cop in America.
Also disagree with this. I like the camera and want every second of footage YouTubed. But it's not up to the federal govt to fund it. Local taxes should do it

They knocked a camera man out, then tried to drag him on top of a fire they started.

It really does not matter to me what any of you think my motive was for asking that original question. I really don't have to justify anything to anyone here. However, if you really care that much, or are taking yourselves so seriously on a freaking message board then you can go look at my post history and see that I have not been here in 24 hours. Then, if you really want to waste more time you can go back to earlier posts (months even) and see where I am literally on the road and in the air every week with stretches where I am totally disconnected from current events... just like all day today.

+1 and it would most likely help exonerate cops in some instances and justifiably get those cops suspended or prosecuted in other instances. If I was a cop, I would want the body camera for my own protection today.
Every single comment on this thread their was probably hundreds of black on black murders that we will never hear about that just happened, poor young black children lose their lives every day by stray gunfire and we never hear about it. I am so sick of this race baiting media, that's the problem, the media
The cops claim they saw a gun. I'm fairly certain that's legal there.
Not open carry, I don't believe.
It's concealed carry, with a permit.
and by law you need to inform law enforcement you have a weapon.
gun laws from state to state are tricky. I don't know them all, but I don't think it's illegal to own or carry a weapon in and of itself, but I believe it must be concealed and disclosed to law enforcement.

The officer that shot him was black.

Sure
Damn, this is getting bad. Another cameraman injured, fires, fights, and now more tear gas.

Facts matter.
Rebel rousers? Hahahaha. Wow.
It should be, but it's not.
It shouldn't be, but it is because the feeling is that white cops are to blame for the aggressive policing tactics.
Agree

I personally think that is just crazy....
Sure police face danger everyday....and make mistakes....and unfortunately a police mistake....could kill someone....that is innocent.
The majority of the 700 or so police shooting....are legit.
Stray bullets from an active legit shootout are by far the majority.
These cases of targeted purposeful shooting of someone that is innocent and without cause.....is less then 10....if not less then 5.
The Charlotte incident .might be innocent but carrying a gun....at least he has a ankle holster....is a shooting with cause.
The Oklahoma seem bad.....that look like a real bad shooting. What the hell was that policewomen thinking.....
Each shooting should be thoroughly explained, talk and explained......
Cops make mistakes....but I have a very hard time believing it is done on purpose.

Nope. It's the local and state governments that buy them from the fed.

Yeah, but when the police are telling you to drop it, a license to carry doesn't exempt you from that command.

With a permit, not constitutional carry

CMPD said Keith Lamont Scott had a gun. Was that reason enough to order him to drop it?
