Yes, this. Only recently have I finally reached the point of wanting a total ban on guns. Of course, racism is the real problem, but a fear of someone pulling a gun is like a spark in a room full of a explosive racists.

That was a pretty stupid statement though.
OT:
This is fucking disgusting. I hope that cop rots in jail.
Being a cop comes with poor pay, tons of responsibility, lots of danger, and constant exposure to some worst of the worst in society. I can't imagine the impact of seeing some of the horrible stuff they see on a regular basis. Add that to the overall negative image of cops by the public plus the media attention, it has to be difficult to recruit. I mean who would want to be a cop these days?

He can cry..bout it.
I'm just saying they're misreading ordinary situations.
because even if we took the guns from cops they'd still be beating/tazing/macing black people constantly for no reason
we have a gun problem in america and i hate it but this is a different issue
I don't know how much training can stop blatant racial profiling though. If you get all nervous because the guy you pulled over has dark skin then you probably shouldn't be in law enforcement and wielding a lethal weapon.
Probably not. It sucks.
Why?
No it fucking wasn't.
We may see that in this case as the officer is, himself, a minority and the blue wall of silence/protection doesn't typically protect them.

Man, the daughter at the end, with her comforting words for her mother, is just on another level. I'm all fucked up right now.
Now this is a pretty stupid post.

Something that hasn't been mentioned. If this man had a concealed carry permit, depending on the state of origin he's been throughly vetted. At the very least he's had fingerprints taken, a background check and would have it denied as a criminal. In other states he's taken at last an hour or two of concealed carry classes.
This cop, however nervous just shot someone that very likely had a clean, impeccable record and possibly training. Not your average Joe. This is insane.
I don't see how they'll be able to spin this by destroying the man's character. A major part of the police defense of the previous shootings centered around how the young men killed were in process, suspected or had records for committing crimes.
*After looking it up MN is a "do not inform state"
He fucking told the cop he had it on him when it wasn't even required by law.
*Second edit: They had weed on them according to her at the end of the video. Now it's a legal landmine and his concealed carry permit is automatically revoked in just about every state. They now have a defense of him having a gun + drugs which is a huge nono and if played right could get the cop off charges.

South Carolina cop that shot a black man reaching into his car for his license a year or two ago.
Quoting because this mirrors my own feelings pretty well and it's honetsly difficult to even put words to these atrocities. Haven't ever felt so disheartened/cynical about our governening systems in a long time...
Support to everyone effected directly and indirectly.

Just hearing about this
Didn't help that his dash cam caught him trying to work out to best lie to write down in his police report to make it seem like he was justified.

Not being facetious, but what are you gonna do? Seriously?
Rise up? Fight? With what?
Shit is just not getting better. There needs to be a national change and that just is not happening time after time after time.

This is so tragic, police are supposed to serve the public. I really commend the lady in the video for staying so calm to get the video out in the public space in such a rational way. How is she ever supposed to trust the police again? Fuck racism. Bring the fucking change already before more lose their lives over something as shitty as pure ignorance.
Part of it is because they are forced to watch horrifying videos where police are killed at routine traffic stops until they are paranoid and fear everyone, although it certainly seems they are more fearful of certain types of people than others.
So you have a bunch of people out there with guns that are scared of everything and are told they can use those guns when they feel scared.

If this were even remotely true they'd be gunning down southern Whites 100mph with all the guns they own. But somehow they don't. They magically end up gunning down Black folks. And they were doing it long before guns were a serious issue. Shit, they were doing it when Black people were specifically prohibited from owning guns.
They're scared of Black people. Armed or not. That "negro rage" got em trembling.... Ugh.

This is one of the most insane things I've ever seen. That woman is brilliant.
It won't. Change will have to be total. New hiring practices, training, and ways to hold cops accountable for crimes they commit.

Pretty sure you'll be alright if you don't leave your vehicle and attack a police officer. I don't think that's race specific.

Fucking disgusting on so many levels. Mostly that it has to take it being live streamed to ensure that the truth comes out and ensure the woman / her child's safety.
I've seen a few situations like this escalate over a fucking traffic stop. Still disgusting to me that the situation is so bad in America that broken tail lights is enough to cost you your life.

Are you really going to say that in THIS THREAD?

You can do all the right things and still get shot. And get blamed for it.
Running down the checklist (of things not to do while black) simply decreases the likelihood of escalation.
what thread do you think you're in?

Yup..simple as that, folks.
Wow. Apparently you didn't see the video. I live in Texas too where many friends and family have a CHL. Now the idea of getting shot following the law is a blatant reality.
