Current Affairs The " another shooting in America " thread

[Prevenger17]

just watched the video of the shooting Keith Lamont Scott +other related videos from cnn. the real problem really isnt the police. problem is the attitude in african american community and the lack of respect towards the authority.

Finn!?

 

[Prevenger17]

Agreed.

That, and protesting before they know anything.

To the observer, it looks sort of like US police shoot people before they know anything

Your opinion is different to mine so I found your statement surprising. I simply had to reach for the exclamation marks

you have a right to think so, but luckily millions of people have started to see through this blame campaign of the police thats going on...and also see the pattern of ridiculous and dangerous behaviour of these "innocent victims". it is being discussed there and it's not a tabu anymore. thats good. african american communities have to start to take responsibility too.

Nice and sunny here today.

Here too mate, but there's some clouds on the horizon. Could be rain

Out of interest, can you recall any recent incidences of unarmed and compliant black people being shot?

Bad polices should be thrown into jail. No question about it.
But still, my point stands.

Hope not kid

But they often aren't being thrown in jail. Paid leave and a slap on the wrist. Besides, do you have an answer to my original question? Can you recall any such incidences?

well, like i said, theres polices who have messed things up. and yes ive seen situations dealed wrongly. so?
ive not said police is infallible.
but you also have to acknowledge that you and i who you call "observer" cant and shouldnt do indudable conclusions only based on videos
anyways, imho the biggest problem is attitude. obey the police - and you will probs get out of it alive ffs...dont do anything stupid like carry drugs and illegal firearm and top of that all disobey the police....(like Scott did)
