[[A reserve deputy in Oklahoma did pretty much the same thing about two years ago.]]
I remember that one- one thought he pulled out his stun gun, but it was a real gun- he was a rookie too-
My point is that the left and black folks are tryign to paint the police force nationwide as racist and full of police brutality/shootings of ‘innocent unarmed men’- but hte fact is that out of the 100’s of 1000’s of police on citizen acts, only a very very small number are actually racist/police brutality-
As MPJackal pointed out- only a very small number of black folks are killed each year by police compared to white folks killed- the stats show black folks are LESS likely to die by police than white folks-
The football player lectures us about ‘educating ourselves about why players are protesting’ but it is he who needs educating and I bet he can’t name even a 1/2 dozen cases of TRUE police brutality where a TRULY innocent black man was shot for no reason other than racism by a police officer
For my part, I have never taken a black life in the line of duty and I have had the occasion to do so. The difference was that they surrendered at the moment of truth.
The truth is that police save far more black lives than take and that should be lauded at every opportunity.
THAT would put BLM back on their heels and negate their argument to nigh standstill.
