By Not Go To PostWhile the verdict was being readIf John Wick, a white man, can kill 3 people with a pencil imagine what a black girl can do with a knife.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostAll these tasteless comments and tributes. Holy shit. People just need to shut the fuck up instead of trying to make some kind of poignant statement regarding the verdict of the trial. Cringe isn't even the word to describe these.It's honestly absolutely disgusting to see and the unfortunate thing, like DY said, a money grab. But I guess we are used to it. Making money off black people's trauma is standard operating procedure.
Get fucked, Chauvin.
By RATHasReturned Go To PostMark isn't deleting ithe is disappointed? 😂😂 wtf
By Not Go To PostOf course they would put out a statement like that. No reason to admit fault as cold as that sounds.
By Daz Go To PostJust seen that Raiders tweet.
my goodness…its still up.
I'm disappointed that you're offended

does he look like he cares what anyone thinks?
he said it's staying up and it was his idea, and he claims to not know of the Eric Garner connection (cap imo)

It's incredible -- and incredibly insulting -- reading all these big city police commissioners pushing out comments on the Chauvin verdict saying that "justice has been served".

Jfc you read my mind :lol
Some news outlets getting this whole thing in Columbus OH twisted and riling up people. And people on Twitter comparing that shit to George Floyd. I could not disagree more. That girl was about to put a knife into someone on the ground, that officer saved a life, imo. Fortunately, other publications have been very quick to point out that the victim had a knife in her hand that she lunged with.
The parents (I think?) were standing on the sidelines watching their kid beat the shit out of two girls and her father (?) kicked one of them in the head while she was on the floor. That cop had one awful decision to make, either stand back and potentially watch someone get stabbed to death or shoot and stop an attempted murder from unfolding.

Cops shouldn't be allowed to kill anyone. Again. They are not the fucking executioners. Even if they think someone else might be "stabbed to death."
Again, they call a 15 year old a "woman" in their initial press report. Again, white people are still not shot even after doing the murdering. Over and over and over. This case was relevant.

Police should absolutely be able to use lethal force in certain circumstances.
In fucking theory. Meanwhile they mow people down over and over, majority lower class, mental health issues, etc. Police still don't keep the peace and they don't disarm the situation. There are options. They don't take out their guns if Charles Koch has a knife out.

A push for legit fed level third party review and national standards/competencies would be nice but lol fuck all that.
"Stabbed to death" isn't worth diminishing either. And the mad rush to make a fresh corpse the next contestant for the showcase could really stand to chill too.

America's pervasive gun culture creates a charged atmosphere. Every perceived danger is seen as life threatening because it could be.
UK cops are arseholes, but the general culture doesn't give them carte blanche to be executioners.
The shooting of Mark Duggan sparked a national riot the likes of which we had never seen before. These things arent common in other places because the gameplay setting in the US starts at Bloodborne.
A reform in de-eacalation training might be a start, but man, I don't know.

There’s a lot wrong with our gun culture but it’s no excuse when it comes to cops. Countless times you seem them with white suspects treating them with the utmost respect, sometimes they have a gun visible, and cops still show restraint.
Look at the two guys that went into a Michigan police station looking like Call of Duty characters and somehow lived.

They seem to know how to not kill white mass murderers w/ guns and bombs and shit. Hell they take them to Burger King sometimes on the way to jail. I expect them to not murder a 15 yo girl w/ a knife.
yal are not trying to see your friend or someone you know gutted on the pavement because LE wanted to bet on a taser.
and outside of the record breaking shootings, the media obviously picks and chooses what killing spree gets air time
like idk.... all this framing is way the fuck off to the point I don't get how people are blind to the fact they're being taken for rides and preyed upon by layers of organization that love conflict but have no reason to enact appropriate solutions to any of it.

I don't like to lump all police as if they are one in the same sharing one brain. I've certainly had plenty of interactions with LEOs and have largely been treated two completely different ways: respect and like human garbage. It's almost 50/50. There have been plenty of other instances of police officers killing other knife wielding people, black and white, because they presented a danger and not much commotion was stirred up about it. NYPD just a few months ago shot and killed a man who attempted to kill his husband in their NYC apartment directly in front of the NYPD.
911 got a call from a man who says he was being beaten. Cops responded to the apartment. Male says his abuser left. Officers open a few doors and find the offender hiding in a closet. He comes out calmly, says he has nothing on him. Cops say let's talk in the hallway, man stays calm...walks past the kitchen on his way out, grabs a knife, turns around, takes 3 steps shouts "I'm gonna kill this bitch" as he stabs his husband 3 times (non life threatening) until the cops can get shots off and kill him.
The cops saved a life and prevented the murder of someone. That's how I look at it and that's how most looked at it. I look at this Columbus OH case the same one. A life was about to taken, and a police officer responded instantly.
the lobbies and unions are certainly on the same page if every day cops ain't tho
there's a place for individual based arguments typically, but not when an institution as a whole is massive and deliberate in not only its practices but in controlling its own perceptions lol
like right now the nypd got a suicide rate that's gulf war status and they're raising hell over the bail reform shit - they're also essentially dropping all pretenses about letting crime get out of control while most running for office are pushing 'get the streets safe again' energy. most city/state elements aren't out bringing that heat to the most dangerous, open and established criminals unless its after months of planning or its a straight up accident. its so fucked up to say, but minorities getting killed at this rate is the run off of how twisted all this really is.
creating problems through inaction internally and externally then turning back around with a military budget to overcorrect is a business model. and what is essentially trickle down LE sauced with generations of racism is the short version of what we're holding nationwide. you can't ever address something that big by going one incident at a time. but that's what the majority of people fixate on and how we package this.
it gets harder for any internal investigation to get a foot in each year but we got people overjoyed at the idea of hitting gangs and cartels with terrorist designations. gg

This ain't the one, usually cops don't give a fuck about DV, sounds like they made a tough decision in the moment to deal with a violent threat that had already stabbed a person?
Framing ending another person's life forever as a "tough decision in the moment" needs to be addressed whenever it's convenient for American society
just violence upon violence. No one bothers to put resources into deescalation scenarios, because certain people's lives are paperthin to the state. In that case it's just don't think and shoot, and we'll make it look good in the press later

if you want to push deescalating stuff, cool.
someone winding up to shank ppl? kinda late. there's more than enough folks literally minding their own business getting fucked out here to try and fit a square into a circle shape.

I would agree the cop should use a taser or something In that incident, but the entire rules of engagement needs to be changed. That dude is absolutely not getting charged. She was winding up for a stab.

The whole thing became Lebron a tweet in social media for a min there
By blackace Go To PostSure if those were the only two choices.don't disagree but forcing energy over someone literally mid-shank?
wasn't the worst choice at least
Honest question: how life threatening is a shank or two in the gut from a 3” blade.
Let’s say he tases her and she gets one stab in, but they both live. That’s the better outcome IMO,

By blackace Go To PostDidnt the officer shoot 4 times as well?Aren’t they supposed to? Serious question
By Fenderputty Go To PostHonest question: how life threatening is a shank or two in the gut from a 3” blade.i will say that tazing someone who's got a knife inside of someone else is gonna make shit exponentially worse. so is spraying someone with a weapon in hand that's gonna go continue to go wild - but now wild and blindly wild.
Let’s say he tases her and she gets one stab in, but they both live. That’s the better outcome IMO,
but either way splitting hairs over knife wounds is just..... man. without being a dick its worse than 'just shoot the knee' arguments.
when a cop is the one in danger i'm immediately more ready to scrutinize whatever thresholds of danger they put in place because they got a conscious decision regarding where lines are. its only their skin on the line. someone else's life/limb/eyesight? very different.
more pissed off at the adults around these kids than anything else.
