You forgot the JROTC kid in Georgia that was shot and killed for answering the door with a Wii controller in his hand.

It seems Cissy missed the point again.
The police have little trouble disarming and subduing a hostile, enraged armed WHITE man
who is threatening to shoot the police and others...
Yet they are a loss to do the same thing to an unarmed BLACK man with out killing him.

philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Yeah, I get where you were trying to go with it.  That's why I gave 3 example of cops being at a loss on how to subdue unarmed white men.  I doesn't seem like a race issue to me.  Seems like that when you carry a hammer, every problem looks like a nail - regardless of race.

I dont really have what it probably takes to be a cop.

If I thought someone had a gun and was going to shoot me- I would shoot them ..
Maybe if I was like Henry , I could shoot the gun out of their hand or maybe use some Jackie Chan moves

Reality is somone can make  bad decision because they are afraid.

Cops have a tough job even in the best of times.  They are often called on to make split second
decisions that could cost them their lives, or the lives of others they are sworn to protect.

A large tragedy of the recent cop killings of unarmed black men is that these stories will incite
some to take it out on the cops... and most times they take it out on a cop who IS doing his job
and IS protecting citizens.  A vicious cycle.

it really is BEYOND RACE.....as long as those at the controls of public conversation(sharpton,any political mouth,hollywood elite etc)
then they all are on the same side which is to keep getting paid to yank chains and keep the masses divided so that they can keep
getting their illustrious pay checks off our backs....

like I've always said:

just because it's illegal doesn't make it wrong
just because it's not illegal doesn't make it right

our handlers are legislating laws/regulations/mandates that make everyone a criminal and then they hire goons not much different than
the hebrew task masters of egypt, to make sure those F'EN bricks get made no matter how much straw there is......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I wouldn't attempt such a move if my life was at risk, cops are taught to aim center mass and continue to fire until the threat was stopped. Even then they usually miss, believe it or not cops are some of the worst shots I ever seen. I shot with them and it was disturbing to see their aim on a stationary target let alone a moving target, even the instructor was disappointed with their lousy aim

Added to the cops burden, is shooting at someone who is about to shoot at you.  The added adrenalin
rush of being shot at, does nothing to improve your aim!

The real question is...What would you do if you thought somebody was selling his cigarettes for $1 per cigarette?  Do you have what it takes to confront such a menace to society?

on the street is what is KILLING AMERICANS that shouldn't have to die....

it's like war.....and we are being invaded more and more and more......

THE ACCOUNTABILITY LIES WITH OUR LEGISLATORS......our legislators turning every American into a criminal every day to
keep us safe......
