Where is the outrage at gang activity and other types of crime? And it is cops that "tear up" black families? How about having multiple kids with multiple women and little or no parental support?

people can and should both be outraged at the rouge officers (who are exceptions to the FACT that the super majority of cops are honourable and patriotic people) AND that in general, the blacks haven’t started behaving as other non-majority groups before them did.

Watch the video carefully. It looks to me like he had or got his hands on a weapon. If so, good shoot. Not that such will matter to the race baiters.

I don’t know the details of this case.

But just once I’d like to hear a famous Black person call on people to stop resisting arrest. If you’re polite and do what the cop tells you there is a zero% chance you’re gonna get shot.

suppose we should be grateful that we now have key boards, tweets, instagram and texts so that we can determine just how ignorant some people can be. About 50 youth are shot in Chicago every week-end and not one word out of these pillars of conscience.

From what I’ve read, the police were called because of a report of a man with a gun...they get there and find Sterling...who refuses to comply with police orders...they tased him twice with no success...then tackled him and were trying to cuff him when they saw the gun (he’s a convicted felon)...and shot him, thinking he was going for the gun.

Its a terrible situation, and the cops won’t be getting any medals for sure.

But I’d wager he wasn’t complying because he didn’t want them to find the gun...and resisting the police, with a concealed illegal gun in your pocket, is asking for disaster.

Most could barely find Louisiana on the continental map.
Most have no idea that at least 60 innocent people were murdered in Chicago last week; blacks killing other blacks.
Are they ‘outraged’ about that too? I don’t see them wearing a T-shirt about it, or holding a candle.

there were times I could have gotten hurt in New Jersey being from New York believe me. They are really nasty in their jackboots and are looking for any reason to smash you. I’ve been screamed at in front of my wife and past girlfriends and said yes sir and no sir. Brought in in handcuffs once because they thought I was drunk. I wasn’t. I did not resist and they gave me the test at the precinct for some reason and it was it is 0. The cop was so mad LOL

He’s a rapist just like the Oakland cop killer years ago.

Seems to be all about having whitey. White cops should call black cops to deal with big unruly blacks with guns. Then it would be just like a typical Chicongo evening, and no one would give a damn.

When he was 20, he had sex with a 15 y.o. girl. Not forcible rape, statutory.

Ok, first time the article only loaded part way. Oviously much more criminal history than statutory rape
