I could not say it any better. And neither possess the intelligence to understand that they are being used.

God is order. Satan is disorder.

The 'black community' is up in arms about the grand jurys not indicting the police officers, but look at all of breaks the perps routinely get. If they have a long rap sheet, but are still on the street, aren't they getting the benefit of the doubt from the legal system? They want it both ways.

If a white cop wants to face prison or a pink slip, just shoot a black thug.

The facts don’t matter as liberals are fond of saying, it the seriousness of the charges that matter.

All some people will see is you’re a white guy who had it in for a black man.

That will follow you for the rest of your life. Its not worth it for a white cop to make an arrest in the hood these days.

I think the quiet says a lot. The police were able to get her to identify her killer but they won’t say who?

He’s either rich or politically dangerous. Her social media accounts show who she hung with and they weren’t rich.

No telling how many times he threw the dice but he crapped out 45 times, this last time he had everything on the line.

It’s possible that it wasn’t those she hung out with who killed her.

This thread has gone tangential.

There is another thread on Jessica Chambers.

Racist witnesses have their meme down pat now. The “victim” is unarmed, has their hands up and is surrending and the forensic evidence be damned.

Better yet, when a black person in the hood calls the cops have the dispatcher tell the caller that “sorry, it will be day after tomorrow before we can get a black officer to your location, they are all busy!”

I’d hate to think I would be shot for trying to hide my weed.

If I were a cop I'd hate to find out after I shot you that all you were doing was hiding your weed. But if it looks like you are going for a weapon, you are toast.

Yup. I would pulled have out of there immediately - if I was a white cop I would NEVER arrest or shoot a black suspect.

I'd bet there are quite a few instances where white cops do turn their heads to crimes involving black suspects. Couldn't blame them. Self-preservation. And blacks sure won't improve the quality of policing in their neighborhoods with all that's happened in recent months.

In light of white officers shooting Innocent unarmed blacks I think white cops in the event of an incident should call in a black police team to subdue or shoot the unarmed black victims normally shot by white officers, checkmate!

What evidence would lead you to believe I was reaching for a weapon as opposed to hiding my weed?

Everything I know about law enforcement, I learned from watching COPS on tv...so I’m no expert.

But, in my viewing experience, car theft is a serious crime of the felony variety. And, once caught, car thieves are treated like unexploded ordinance about to go off...and lets face it, a guy with 45 prior charges is looking at a lot of time in prison for car theft - and who knows what he might be capable of in an attempt to escape capture.

True but as best I can tell, the cop had no reason to believe the guy had a weapon. He neither saw a weapon or heard of one unless there is something we don’t know.

“Not following my commands” should not be grounds for an execution.

I miss the good old days when not following commands just got your azz kicked but Rodney King fixed that for us.
