There is, but the police are being defunded now, so they cant really be as picky anymore. I mean who wants to become a cop nowadays?

63.4% of the population is White

13.4% of the population is Black

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the population group that is almost five times bigger has more victims. That is a non-argument.

Looks like the knee was on his back, not his neck. And he says "guns blazin'"? I don't think a single officer opened fire.

By the way, the US is a nation of 300,000,000+, I don't think just one clip does the entire country any justice. Let's try to remedy that, just a little bit...

This is America too:

Here's video of another police--non-police interaction. Nothing overly dramatic happened so don't expect to see this in the evening news:

Here's another video. Shit can get scary when you're a cop. Suspect shot in the back, an autopsy will certainly find but that doesn't tell the whole story. Thankfully, we've got video tech!

You seem to think police officers only arrest family members they have known for several years. You dont know what a person is capable of. You always have to be on your guard. Your life can end at any second. None of us can even imagine the pressure of being a police officer. They can make mistakes. Whatever they can do to reduce that is great, but its easy for us to point fingers while watching a video from the comfort of our own home. People are not perfect. And believe it or not police officers are in the end just people. 

Like the person who resisted arrest, walked to his car holding what looks like a knife and reached inside. Now do you shoot or do you wait? They had already tried tackling him to the ground. What if he was reaching for a gun? What if the police officers were all killed? Then it would just be another day. Lets find another case so we can show how nasty and racist these police officers is! Resisting arrest is a felony. Youre giving the cop the ok to shoot you at that point. Dont do it.

You cant be that naive to use those stats. I refuse to believe you have never heard why those stats are silly to use.

You: Im not saying its justified at all. 

Also You: Youre giving the cop the ok to shoot you at that point. 

How in the actual fuck is this entire post not justifying murder? This is fucking gross. 

I'm done.

Well if thats how you see it, then fair enough. I cant be any clearer, so maybe its my fault.

There are a few places it has happened or are about to happen. Im all for more training, but Im just not sure how much is too little and how much is too much if you know what I mean. Its just an impossible job. Mandatory bodycams is the best solution I can come up with, but Im sure there are better answers.

No idea why they feel they need a grenade launcher at a school though.lol

I think what you're saying is that the criminal should also be held responsible for their actions, rather than just throwing 100% of the blame on police and solely focusing on what they can do better. If that's the case then I agree.

In this recent incident with Blake, the cops didn't do a good enough job restraining the guy, pretty much just allowed him to walk to his car and only took action at the last moment. There were at least 2 cops, I think it's fair to say they should have been able to prevent it from going that far.

However, this also could have been prevented if Blake was not a criminal in the first place. Crazy thought I know! He wasn't targeted simply for existing with black skin but because he was a known criminal currently engaged in criminal activity. But who cares about all that, he was black, the cop who shot him was white, so clearly it's all about race and now we gotta destroy random businesses to punish those bad cops! We gotta show we support black lives by supporting criminals who hurt black lives! /s

Yes. You are better at explaining things than me. Glad you got it though. Many feel you solely have to be on the police side or the criminal side. Its just when you see these shootings and in almost every case the person is resisting arrest. Why would you ever do that? I mean how many examples do you need before you get that its a bad idea? The police are still not always in the right. There are cases where they get a bit too trigger happy. But so many deaths could have been prevented by just following the police officers commands.
