Actually, the story is a bit more complex, but the police pretty much seemed to do everything right in the Korryn Gaines case. As a matter of fact, she fired on the police, and was shot in return, I don't think anyone by the most 'ideologically wedded person' would consider the event questionable. Of course there will always be those who will use any event to pursue an agenda, or simply don't trust the police at all. But on the face of it, you couldn't really ask for a more justified shooting by the police, or better procedure (secure the area, isolate the suspect, negotiate and only resort to lethal force when the issue is pushed by the suspect). BLM evil, I think that's just pure hyperbole. BLM doesn't seem to be a structured organisation, but a social media movement (I was trying to find their home page etc - and they don't seem to have an official statement). Still, it should involve an independent enquiry, even when its seemingly obvious what happened. BLM have condemned the shooting, on FOX radio they described this shooting as a "systematic attack on people of colour" I have described BLM as a ideology, it's not a organisation, as you can't join. They are evil due to the chants (pigs in a blanket, and the dead cops one). Also the fact that they refuse to tackle the problem of black on black violence. If they changed their mission statement and name, i'd have a tiny bit more respect for them (but probably still think they're dickheads) Edited by 7mins (03 Aug 2016 1.08pm)

I think disagreeing with BLM for the reasons you've highlighted throughout is a perfectly valid opinion. I think making out there is no problem with the way police treat black people in America, just because you don't like BLM, is not.

The answer isn't to point at the police and say you have a problem when black people commit 25x more crime than any other race. I got punched by a copper in Tenerife for pissing on the beach at 2am, he called me over I ignored him and carried on pissing... He waited until I finished then punched me. I was 19, convinced I was punched because I was mixed race, told my dad expecting sympathy... He told me I was a arsehole, and he would buy that copper a beer.

And I haven't once argued that there is no problem with criminality in the black community - but again, the two aren't mutually exclusive viewpoints. Both parties (police and citizens) share blame - highlighting one doesn't disprove the other. You seem to think it's fine for police to do what they want with someone if they break the law - that's a very worrying mindset imo.

So in the Freddie Gray case... the cops weren't lying, and the case against them was very weak, also the prosecutor has been heavily criticised by all quarters. I'm unaware of the other cases you mention, all seems a bit ambiguous
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

Hence the reason yankee prisons are topped up with mainly non whites. It is an eye opener to see inside some of these nicks I can tell you, you only have to watch the programs about them like Trevor Mcdonalds series he made. Death row is full of non whites ...WHY??????????
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |
