Rodney Applewhite, 25, was driving through New Mexico recently on his way to Arizona to spend Thanksgiving with his mother and other family members before he was killed by police.
Just outside Los Lunas, on the last leg of a trip that started in South Bend, Ind., a New Mexico State Police officer attempted to pull Applewhite over for what was described as a traffic stop.
It was 8:32 a.m. Nov. 19, a state police news release said. About 10 minutes later, two state troopers tried to arrest Applewhite.
When an altercation occurred with the first officer, the second officer shot Applewhite, firing “at least one round,” state police said. Applewhite, unarmed, died that day in a hospital.
“The question is how, when and what will stop all this crap?”
I only see two possible outcomes. First, if conservatives get energized and involved in public schools, the flow of indoctrinated idiots can be slowed, and we can have a real battle for the soul of the nation.
Or, we fight the wrong fights, electing this or that impotent Republican to stem the tide. But, we will die off, and the flow of indoctrinated idiots will continue, and the nation will become irrelevant. China will assert itself on the national stage, and our elected officials will bow to Chinese power.
An altercation, hey? Physically attacking an armed LEO almost guarantees you serious injury or death.
Rat Governor, Rat State.

““He knew he was on probation and just freaked out. You know, [with] police behind you. Anyone would freak out,” his mother said, referring to the disproportionate numbers of Black men who have been killed by police officers. “

Strange. I’ve been stopped by police before and never freaked out.
THE POINT ISN’T IF IT WAS GOOD SHOOTING OR NOT. THE POINT IS THE POLITICS AND THE HYPOCRISY!!! THERE IS NO OUTRAGE FROM BLM OR ANITFA OVER IT????
It used to be a great place to live and raise kids, sixty years ago. Great jobs, great schools, great places to live.
Now it is on the bottom of the worst places to live, outranked only by Mississippi and Arkansas.
Arkansas unofficial motto used to be..”Thank Heavens for Mississippi” as Mississippi was always the worst with Ark next. Now New Mexico is on bottom.
Or, we fight the wrong fights, electing this or that impotent Republican to stem the tide. But, we will die off, and the flow of indoctrinated idiots will continue, and the nation will become irrelevant. China will assert itself on the national stage, and our elected officials will bow to Chinese power.
Knowing enough about he human mindset, unfortunately the answer is contained within your second paragraph.
You just don’t get it. This is on Joe’s political tab now.
In this country of 300+ million people, there are probably a hundred "police involved” shootings every year. Why do I care about one in particular, in a different county and state 2000 miles away?I can’t even vote against the sitting governor or the county sheriff.
Cold weather makes hard to carry looted goods.
