Y'all talking about being extra compliant with law enforcement that has shown multiple times they still don't care and will still kill or beat you...instead of demanding that those kinda attitudes in law enforcement be exposed, corrected, and more severe punishment issued out as a means to prevent future incidents such as these?
both should happen.
Tbh the guy was probably running cause he was afraid. Knowing police will do f***ed up s*** whether he complies or not.
More often than not that's the exact reason why you have people run, and even if they have no reason to. The long history of how police do black people whether we are compliant or not, to me, justifies black people doing what they feel that they must do to best survive.
Cause if you do comply and end up say just getting arrested, you can still wind up dead and/or harassed by police in their cruiser or at the station.
The fact that you got people who will always make excuses for every single thing is why stuff like this will keep happening too.

that's not the point. police definitely need to be corrected. but racism exists and will exist regardless of rules put in place. people will find ways to be violent towards blacks. but that doesn't mean its smart to speed in traffic, play loud music, and run away. i'm talking about in this particular situation. not about any ones where people have complied
The point is complying with a police officer as a black person should never make you feel like you now have a 89% chance of getting shot instead of 90%...you shouldn't have to cross your t's and dot your i's to ensure your life won't be at risk over a simple traffic violation.
When y'all are looking at it like that, you're really missing the bigger picture and that it's more important that police officers interactions with black people should be improved immediately.
just like how i'm an asian person and know people are racist towards asians now. not comparing racism towards asians as the same as with blacks but since i know there is heightened chance for me to be attacked then i will bring a gun with me or a knife etc. obviously the situation is not the same and black people get murdered just for running outside but if i know cops are violent towards me then i will do what i can to protect myself, like lower my music, put a shirt on and try to be polite. it's messed up cause were in a situation where people have to do that just to get a CHANCE to not get shot. Police do need to get corrected. But at the same time you need to control what you can control at that moment. but it's f***ed up and this never should have happened
And why didn’t he stop? Why did he run away?
think he was afraid it would end the way it did
I saw this
What can we do to support
Are there any links ?
Spread it everywhere
I guarantee you theyre gonna try and bury this
that it is not my argument. he definitely was shot because he was black. but being shirtless and yelling f*** the police did not help
thats not rly the point tho
When police will not shoot a white murderer or a white man with guns literally killing people it dosent matter if he ran. They’re supposed to subdue him not kill him. they do it because they know they’ll have no repercussions and because it’s a black person.
The fact you hear the tazor, see him fall in the vid, then right away hear the trigger finger go off like a 13yr old COD player
Rip to this man n f*** these dumbass cops
i was rlly considering bagging this white shorty but then i saw these last 2 threads bout this typa s*** n came to my senses
S*** is real out here, everyone please please please spread awareness don’t let justice slip away
