Thank you Aeri for posting the individual pics...I'd like to see this from now on...rather than so very much attention being poured on the shooter(s), we all need to make more of an effort to see and remember every single victim, to know something of each individual's life. All this killing makes me sick as hell.
I dunno guys. I think that killing is wrong as well. However I also saw the video where the Baton Rouge cops shot the guy, and it just bugs me that these guys shoot a man dead that isn't resisting, and somehow it's ok. And I reflect on how I have been treated by cops. I dunno. As I said, killing is wrong. Even when it's a cop that's pulling the trigger. Just wait until YOU are targeted by cops.
I've just come across this, which may not make the guy in MN appear so innocent. I don't know if the source is credible. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/07/08/confirmed-philando-castile-was-an-armed-robbery-suspect-false-media-narrative-now-driving-cop-killings/#more-118476
your post gives the impression that you are spreading hate as opposed to reporting it....that twitter post is disgusting and you should have included your own opinion of it..... 'not about me'???????? it is about ''all'' of us
That doesn’t mean anything The police were looking for two men, not a man and a woman. He wasn’t a robbery suspect, he only matched a partial description, i.e. he was black. He was wearing a white t-shirt not a long-sleeve green shirt, nor a checked green shirt, and no hat. Did the car match the description? Did the suspects even have a car? Unknown The primary suspects were wearing glasses, Philando Castile wasn’t and IMO doesn’t look like either. The Police can’t simply pull someone over without giving a reason. The cop was told he had a gun and a permit to carry, he didn’t actually see the gun. Yes the picture captures a partial outline of something but to suggest it fits the description of the gun used in the hold-up is BS. The Police officer told her not to touch him because he was shot, and in possession of a gun he admitted carrying. The reverse angle doesn’t suggest duplicity since the officer asked Philando for his license and registration, not Diamond Reynold’s. If the officer could see the gun, he wouldn’t have asked Philando for his driver’s license and registration. To be continued.... Hotwater
What if he was a robbery suspect? Are the cops the judge jury and executioner? "He looks like the perp so let's kill him just in case"? I suppose people can worship who they want. But IMO cops are not gods.
Good on you for doing that That's what I want to read, not the usual political ...... There's not enough of this in the general media
Some of those conservative news sites are fake news sites so i dunno about the source But either way it doesnt matter. I think we need to move away from this idea that if they're black and they've ever committed a crime its perfectly justified for the cops to to just go ahead and take their lives. Why not, they're just dirty worthless criminals, right? Who needs a fair trial? Wtf kind of justice system is that? Meanwhile the cops that apprehended Dylan Roof bought him Burger King before taking him in.
I'm not advocating police killing criminals in lieu of fair trials. I've never intimated anything of that nature. If police encounter a suspect who is armed and who appears to be going for their weapon, then I can understand why an officer would shoot.
Okay I'll be as objective as possible this time: Dallas Shooter was Member of Black Panther Party Apparently Micha X was so radical the Racist Black Panther Party couldn't control him. Micha X openly wanted to kill white people, and even though a few oddball members of the Black Panther Party have said as much over the years, to keep up appearances Micha X was shown the door. Micha X wasn't part of any hate group at the time of his murder of white cops, and pointing out his racism isn't spreading hate, it's just telling the truth. A truth some people do not want to hear, because anything spoken aloud about black people regardless of facts, is spreading hate.
