Police shooting black man in the back ... again (Kenosha, WI)

[volbeast33]

Crazy how the narrative went from “Unarmed black man shot in the back” to “yeah he had a knife but they shouldn’t have shot him 7 times”. Crazy how they defend this POS.

It also changed from he was their trying to help the situation to being the guy the cops was there about.

Lots of arm chairing going on in this thread..... but how many have had to deal with BS like this before?

I’m waiting on septic to tell me how he has been watching Walker Texas ranger and would have round house kicked him..... or maybe watched the movie shooter and waited on the perp to get his weapon and shoot to blow his fingers off therefore saving the day.

Have to admit. I thought this was gonna be a lot worse...

Never mind. I really had nothing to add to this conversation.

Relativity.

This is without the element of profiling.

All lives matter less out there. The disparities are still abundant here... you know... the greatest country on earth.

You don't stay great by constantly avoiding improvement.

Wow dink ... I think you may have gotten in a myopic view if things going on . Think about think , we will just use my age for an example because I was thinking about all the things I missed on the other day . I was born in 1968 I’m 52 years old , step back and look at how much this country has changed , grown and what this country / Americans have invited or improved on since that date . The PROGRESS has been, well to say Utterly astounding would be an understatement. We have more first world problems than any country on this planet . We are also the country that an individual can literally be anything he or she wants full stop , no limitations . People make bad choices , happens everyday don’t care how you are , you can’t keep making them though or they will catch up to you .

It has it's problems but it's also the most diverse city in America. The most racist cities are in the South. But you don't think America's racist. So now I'm confused.

Wtf dude. Why are you on this site?

This is one of the more blissfully ignorant posts to have ever appeared on this board.

Go ahead and throw NYC , Philadelphia, Baltimore in there .

Were they yelling that like they yell "stop resisting" while grinding your trachea into the pavement?

Yes....thats exactly how they described it.

You should travel more both internationally and domestically. Americans and America is not the most racist country, not even close not in the developed world and not in the western world. The northeast is the most racist part of our country not the south.

Well, everyone except the blind dude recording is saying Blake had a knife in his possession.
This isn’t going the way you’d hoped.

Everyone?

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Yes

So where’s the evidence? The grainy picture where you can’t tell what he’s holding?

 

[FLVOL_79]

Now I get why Luther doesn't think anything bad is happening due to democrats run amok in big cities across the country, even with the carnage going on in the background....

What a f###ing clown show..communist clown news..

What a f###ing own show..communist clown news..

In Luther’s mind, what happened at the Michigan State House was infinitely worse than anything happening in Portland, Kenosha and Minneapolis.

Officer(s) telling him to drop the knife, the knife recovered on his floorboard, and his own admission he had a knife, ffs.

Obviously that's a tricky thing to do, like lots of things in poli sci. Not an exact science. Not really a science even imo

But you can ask these questions-
How many countries had a giant Civil War, the bloodiest in their history, over slavery? How many countries have states or provinces that still celebrate symbols of the side that lost?
How many countries have taken as much territory as we have in the past 300 years in as short a period as we have and had to reconcile with the fact we took someone's land as we continue to live here?
How many countries have dealt with as much racial tension/violence in the past 50 years as America?
Why is the U.S. #1 in the world in terms of prison population and incarceration rate?
Why did Donald Trump win an elecion on building a wall to keep an invading horde of Mexicans out?
Why did we separate children at the boarder from their families?

Is this supposed to be a serious response? You definitely were educated in a lower public school.

- Name ONE COUNTRY in the world that didn't have slavery, genocide or racism in its history?
- Again EVERY country and race has done this throughout history
- Almost all of them
- because we have drugs/gangs/mental illness at a higher rate, as well as one of the biggest most diverse populations in the world and the criminal element can make money here
- Because illegal immigration is a crime that costs the U.S. billions of dollars and several lives a year
- Because we have always done that, per our illegal immigration laws, and it's only children who can't be verified as being with family OR that they are awaiting trial. Or do you believe that children should be placed in jail cells with adult criminals?

Or anywhere up north

 

[RockyTop85]

Come on.

He went looking for a fight and found one. Doesn't make his purposeful effort to provoke a need for force okay.

Arming yourself and driving to an area where there’s a conflict is dumb, reckless, and it ought to be discouraged, potentially through criminal deterrence. But you have to consider the actions of the deceased who acted crazy, chased him, and threw things at him. I haven’t seen anything to say that Rittenhouse did anything to provoke that, aside from just being there on the “other side.” That’s too tenuous for murder, IMO.

Maybe the video was edited to remove some provocation, the person who made it had an agenda. But that’s what I’ve seen so far.

I‘m trying to think of a scenario where the person pursuing someone isn’t responsible for what comes next. I can’t think of one, other than law enforcement.

100%

I spent a few months in Ecuador and the police work spends time on violent crime. They don't operate on a system of quotas and tickets. Sure, the crime rates are higher, but it's a poor country. There's not an issue of police brutality on the same scale we deal with for our comparable poverty levels.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Sure. Those things don't kill.

Why is lethal force among the initial reactions when they are equipped with nonlethal options in droves?

They used non lethal options and it didnt work...and you don't use non-lethal when the suspect is going to lethal
