Don’t forget that the cop that killed rayshard was charged with felony murder...and anyone who knows anything about the law knows that is not legal!
Felony murder: when an offender kills (regardless of intent to kill) in the commission of a dangerous or enumerated crime.
(Only) Black Lives Matter (when killed while committing a crime by the police)
Here is a case in Dallas from a few years ago. Police kneeling on guy until he died. But the guy was white, so no one cared.
Ironically the guy who died was the one called the police.
Liberals and their evil-doing allies only “care” about life when it suits their purposes.
Is there any chance you could hire a writer?
He’s going to be found innocent, because the DA overcharged him, considering the circumstances.
systematic racism
Excellent job, officer Guerrero! Reload, and get back out on patrol!!
“Ironically the guy who died was the one called the police.”
A lot of people make that mistake. Most notably lately the poor Australian woman in...wait for it...Minneapolis.
Both in raw numbers and percentages of the deaths, more whites than blacks are killed by police. In light of the graphic below, one might conclude that police show more restraint with black suspects than white ones:
Was Guerrero shot in the back?
“if this isn’t a double standard than I don’t know what is!”
Of course it’s a double standard. Who do you expect to do something about it?
At the end of the day the only ones that is going to fix any injustice is the injured party and his allies.
I don’t see any whites raising hell and rioting in the streets, do you?
As long as that is the case the double standard and injustice will continue undisturbed.
(c) A person also commits the offense of murder when, in the commission of a felony, he causes the death of another human being irrespective of malice.
Where was the "commission of a felony" by police officer Rolfe? Remember, that's commission of a felony other than the death of Brooks.
I don't see it. The DA just might be a maroon..
And?
And that did not meet the definition for use of deadly force on a fleeing suspect that the Supreme Court laid out in Tennessee v. Garner. Brooks did not pose an imminent threat of death or serious injury to either the police officers or any bystanders.
And you surely know that how again?
The fact that Brooks was fleeing is proven by the fact that he was shot twice in the back. The fact that he did not represent an immediate threat to the lives or safety of the police officers or anyone else results from the fact he was nowhere near anyone when he was shot and he had fired the second dart of the Taser he had taken so he had no weapon to harm anyone with. Shooting him did not meet the requirements laid out in the Tennessee v. Garner decision.
I was referring to him being a threat to others.
What other was he an imminent threat to?
