I suppose I must point out that I am not justifying what the video shows, because if I don't people presume that I am simply because I dared call into question the character of the man who chose to run away from the cops.
In fact, the question wasn't about the man at all: it was about the fact that this is national news and on everyone's radar. Why? Because he's black.
Don't people of other colors get shot dead by cops? I can only surmise, because it damn sure doesn't get all the rotation in the media that it does when a black man does - and incidentally, all of them that have made the news during this fad have been criminals, have they not?
and incidentally, all of them that have made the news during this fad have been criminals, have they not?
We all are.
America Desperately Needs to Fix Its Overcriminalization Problem
Get the other people on video and post that as well.
“and incidentally, all of them that have made the news during this fad have been criminals, have they not?”
No... his guy had a tail light out and owed for child support. Neither of those two thing qualify him as a “criminal”.
I am so sick of watching this. I’ ll bet it’s been on my TV screen at least 30 times. When can I see 9/11 again? Crickets
This is national news because of the video , and everyone witnessing a murder by watching it.
Post 4 shows why it is national news, the video.
