Maybe it's just me, but I have a problem with the officers’ actions (lackthereof)...as reported anyway.
This is exactly the sort of proactive policing that the Mahdi and the Holder DOJ wants to make impossible. Yes it is targeted at specific members of certain groups. Black men are the perpetrators of almost all the crimes of violence in large ares of many cities. There are specif actions and tics that reveal that individual blackamoors are likely carrying weapons and bent on criminal actions. These individuals simply rove around ‘looking to be lookin’ to see in an opportunity to rob or steal presents itself. The police know this and deliberately look for their profiled individuals to do something suspicious. Is it biased? Yes it is. Police target those who appear to be likely malefactors. Youngish black men fit that profile. Blackamoors know this is true. They just want the heat to be taken off their ‘brothers’ while they whine about ‘inadequate police protection’. People often want mutually incompatible things. Blacks just get a pass from the political culture to whine continually about everything.
And it is my opinion that that 'pass' is responsible for the Officer's death, as no officer I know uses such slovenly protocol for approaching a subject that is suspected of being armed. To be clear, I am not faulting the officer(s), but, for lack of a better word, the 'ROE' in this PC climate.
Thus, I do not blame shooter for the death, but our Puppet and all those that both pull his strings and support it.
