The common thread through many of these police shootings is failure of black suspects to comply with police directives

Also, most suspects(of any background)are drugged and/or mentally ill and societal failures as they ultimately end up dead or in jail. The police are the last firewall of a civil society.

I have another suggestion. Require all able-bodied citizens to go armed in public. Provide severe fines if a citizen fails to take reasonable steps to defend themselves during an assault or robbery.

Every day around the country and the UK I see videos of whites being attacked just because they are white, and whilst they are beaten in one case in Baltimore they were shooting fireworks at him the by standers all around stood and laughed.

If you want to see racism then go to a black area. If any reform is needed it will have to happen in the black communities and families.

“police are the last firewall of a civil society.”

Absolutely. And that’s why your hearing all the defund the police, police are evil rhetoric. The enemy wants that barrier removed.

Most (if not all) of these cities are controlled by the left. Athens-Clarke, home of Univ. of Georgia, has been totally taken over by progressives in the past two election cycles. Surrounding areas are very conservative so I don’t think this will go anywhere at this time but they will keep pushing.

The Left wants to criminalize Self defense. Its a work around the 2nd amendment. You can own a gun but you dare not use it.

SO we are suppose to stand there and get the sh*t beat out of us instead of shooting an attacker if we are fearful of losing our lives particularly in our own properties or if someone is attempting to hijack our vehicle? BS!

The Georgia Legislature should Double Down as a result of this ridiculous request and make it a Felony for ANY Elected Official to have anyone in their Employ or Employed on their behalf in possession of Any Weapon, Firearm or Ammunition for the purposes of protection or security.

Self defense tactics usually involve trading space for time, so standing firm is not necessarily smart, so as you back off or move offline to cover, you are effectively demonstrating de-escalation and good faith to not have to use force/lethal force. Being on camera doing things that clearly indicate your unwillingness to use force is a good thing. Having to use it in the end may be unavoidable.

Now, if with my wife or family, I don’t think I will be too interested in much retrograde action as I probably can’t herd family and be as situationally aware as needed in a potential lethal force engagement.

The threat needs to choose wisely.

Best defense is avoidance and avoidance is directly related to situational awareness.

Pay attention, put the damn cellphone down. Your job when out, especially when with Innocents, is to be the sheepdog, having teeth and using them is the last resort.

Golly 10 whole mayors that believe their opinion is worth more than the whole peoples of Georgia. I wonder how their constituents feel about it.

This attack on INNOCENT LAW ABIDING Citizens is Satanic- It’s sick and it’s Satanically driven- Law Abiding citizens have every right to defend themselves, especially given the fact that police are nowhere to be seen these days due to being overwhelmed by riots- (But even if they weren’t- we still have a perfect right to defend ourselves- even with deadly force, if confronted with deadly force!)

Sadly we live in an Evil World- Controlled by the Evil One Himself- Hopefully battles like this can still be won- but the Evil is creeping slow but sure into every aspect of life- including the left protecting the criminals against prosecution, WHILE making it a criminal offense for law abiding citizens to defend themselves with the necessary force when confronted with deadly force-

Lack of impulse control correlates directly with the lack of fathers in the home.

I don’t think black households are going to support this.

These 10 mayors want you to retreat from life threatening violence against you.

Just how do you do that when these Predators attack in mass suddenly?They don’t attack by themselves.

You have No option then to use deadly force because these animals will kill you or seriously injure you.
