Man Fails To Obey Police, Reaches Into Car, Gets Shot

[It will be fine]

Its highly likley that these officers have dealt with Blake's in the past. Most likley, they could tell he was on a war path.

I appreciate the fact that there were no weapons in the car doesn’t change your belief that he was going for a weapon. Don’t let reality alter the narrative you want to believe.

There was a knife. He has a history of illegally carrying guns.

Im sorry you want to believe that if youre black, you do not need to listen to the police.

A knife is not a weapon?

Timeline from the USA-Today report. The first cop was on the scene at 5:13 p.m. Sounds like all heck was breaking loose.

5:14:28 p.m.
A second officer arrives at the scene.
5:15:37 p.m.
A third officer urgently radios dispatchers asking for more officers. The dispatcher sends three more squads.

The cars had cameras.

Cops where I am don't have cameras either.

It’s 2020. All my drivers have cameras facing them. Not rocket science here.

 

[Fred's Myth]

Unacceptable

Are you dictating community standards to a community you don’t belong to?

How presumptuous.

Look Drive, black males arent violent, ok!? Just because the FBI statistics say they commit half of all violent crime in the country despite being 13% of the population, and every single police video on youtube shows it, all this "evidence" is just wacist...

No cams in that township.

Going to be no cams anywhere if people want to “de-fund the police”

I’m American. I’d say I belong to the community.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

I’m American.

But you're not 'A Great American'!

 

[Fred's Myth]

I’m American. I’d say I belong to the community.

How refreshing to hear a member of the black community describe themselves as American, without the African prefix!

Guns aren't pulled for simply no reason. What actions caused the event to escalate?

You can't go reaching for anything or go trying to get away while guns are pointing at you by law officials. Best to fully cooperate from the start.

If I move to Africa would I be an American African?
If I return to the US would I be an American African American?
I'm confused.

It'd be weird for me to be called a "European American" centuries after my ancestors arrived in America.

It feels like calling black people "African Americans" is part of the continued soft bigotry of low expectations.

They prefer to distinguish themselves from everyone else, and that's fine. It's not about what the greater group calls a subgroup, it's about what that subgroup prefers.

You are preaching to a brick wall----they just can't get this simple concept through their thick heads.

Their hatred is so intense it clouds their judgement.

Save a life-cooperate with the police.
