"Waiting to see a couple of white actors dressed up as cops. Then film them shooting up some black actors dressed up as thugs-not hard to do. Then they post it just to see how many buttons get pushed. It would be like a public burning of the Koran."

Even a fake video would be sufficient to destroy a major metro area.

Exactly the case

The other day on the Donald that when I watch the compendium of about 10 videos where black perps get shot by cops. And never made news

They all made huge mistakes and likely deserved it

Look
It’s simple

Just obey the cops. Everything is on video

2020 Presidential Election: 49% Trump, 51% Biden...

I’m on the fence with this one. To burn, or not to burn?

“Just obey the cops.”

Is that in each in every case and in every possible situation.

Just obey the cops?

Is that the advice you would have given Ashlee Babbitt?

I’m still conflicted over that one. I believe that she was part of the group that was allowed access by capital hill police (as opposed to the smaller group that broke a window to gain access), but having encountered a hastily-erected barricade like that my inclination would have been to tell her not to climb through that broken window frame.

Of course that isn’t meant in any way to excuse her execution.

People excuse police shootings all the time. Look at this thread alone.

Family attorneys said they only showed them 20 secs of the video and called it an “execution”

Well some police shooting are justified, some are not. I don't recall too many people on this thread defending the SC cop who shot someone in the back a few years ago. We still don't know who shot Ashleigh Barrett so we can't ascertain the circumstances. For this one, I need more information before saying one way or another. I am certainly not going to take NPR's word on it

Two cops on that detail have resigned, and a third “retired”. This is not going to be good.

So many thugs seems to be lining up to get shot by cops these days, I’m losing track.

Two things are happening - on one hand, the militarization of the police, and the weakening of the 4th amendment. At the same time, policing powers are being taken away from localities, and shifted to the federal government.

The certificate goes on to categorize Brown’s death as a homicide.

Of course it's a homocide. Homocide merely means died by the actions of another person.

My mistake, it's now said that the people that resigned were not involved in the incident.

Absolutely.

Then you agree that her shooting was justified and no charges should be filed?
