Selective brain damage (i.e. from concussions). Only rage against white cops, not black criminals.

Where is there rage against the black gangs who are slaughtering innocent black people from LA to Chicago to DC and other places inbetween?

Crickets!!

“But just once I’d like to hear a famous Black person call on people to stop resisting arrest.”

Bill Cosby did that, or the equivalent...

I couldn’t care less. When the criminal element took over the nfl,I stopped watching and following it. Same with college football. Haven’t missed either.

Don’t fight the cops, don’t get shot in the heart.

I wouldn’t want to be a cop but we are going to get where police won’t do anything when blacks are involved.

"If so, good shoot."

If the cops had a perp on the ground and had to pull a weapon while both were right on top of him the gun-puller was being pretty dumb. That is a recipe for disaster. Too easy for the perp to move and knock the gun barrel around causing the shooter to lose target and hit himself or his partner or an innocent bystander.

If the perp was pulling a weapon he should be shot but you don't do it stupid. Pulling your weapon when you are in arms length of the perp is bad barrel discipline. The reason you have two officers is for one to "cover" the other while he has to do dangerous encounters like cuffing a perp. If the guy was too much to handle for one guy then call in backup.

Also in this day and age cops who turn their backs on a crowd of onlookers are asking for an early grave.

I watched the video, and it’s clear that the guy was physically resisting the police from being arrested. I’m sorry but if you get into a physical struggle with the police, then you are risking your life at that point. Most police will view that as a threat to their life, and will take your life.

Advise to the spoiled rotten NFL players who are not use to people telling them no. Do not physically resist police. It’s not worth losing your life over it.

Which is the goal here, it seems. The side effect seems to be that murder stats are spiking.

Would you want to grapple with a man who has a gun, while you are not allowed to use yours?

Felon, Pedophile and Deadbeat Dad #AltonSterling Shot Dead After Wrestling with Police

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/07/felon-pedophile-deadbeat-dad-altonsterling-shot-dead-wrestling-police-doj-investigate-video/

Alton Sterling was pedophile and deadbeat dad who owed $25,000 in child support – not exactly the good “father of five.”

Mike Cernovich @Cernovich
Why did convicted pedophile #AltonSterling have a gun? Was he going to stick up little kids and rape them again?

Mike Cernovich @Cernovich
#AltonSterling was a convicted PEDOPHILE and registered sex offender.http://archive.is/G1RFs pic.twitter.com/HoGwtgYeHO

No outrage for the daily shootings in Chicago or when a cop is killed.
