Fair enough. Ill agree with you then.

I also thought of the drunk guy who was shot in a hotel hall even when he was crying and crawling on the floor. But he was white, so Im not sure that one counts unfortunately.

What's your point? This shouldn't happen to anyone.

Name the white guy and Ill give you a million dollars.

*Not really, but you get my point.

No I don't get your point actually!

I wouldn't be able to name the three persons sundin13 mentioned either. Only ever heard about the Botham Jean incident, wouldn't be able to recall his name had sundin13 not mentioned it.

So what is your point?

I agree that its a bit excessive, but you see what happens when you dont resist arrest? You live to tell the story and the police will investigate what happened.

*sometimes*

More often if you're white, less often if you're black. 

Did KLXVER not pay any attention to any of these issues? The whole ignition point of the protest is that, say, George Floyd was NOT resisting arrest and calmly saying 'I can't breathe' while trying his best to not resist arrest and was still killed because of callous law enforcement. 

This is why I'm pissed off. There are people who willingly and repeatedly ignore massive parts of the story because it doesn't suit their narrative.

Anyone else getting a lot of Trump ads on this site? His campaign's digital outreach is supposed to be stronger than Biden's.

You guys are getting ads?

Says the guy who ignores the part where George Floyd resisted arrest...

Not saying it was justified, but had he gotten into the police car he would still be alive today.

Maybe you didn't explain it well enough then.

Well if you can show me an arrest where the criminal complies and are still shot dead, then Ill agree with you.

Joseph Hutcheson, 2015. He wasn't shot dead, but his story is very similar to George Floyds. He was intoxicated, several officers tried to apprehend him, one officer kneels on his neck, he dies. The victim is white, the officer who applied the knee hold is black and he didn't get his own wikipedia page.

"The Dallas County medical examiner's office concluded that Hutcheson died from the combined toxic effects of cocaine and methamphetamine, compounded by heart problems due to high blood pressure and the stress to his body associated with the struggle with sheriff's deputies and being restrained by handcuffs. His death was ruled a homicide."
