Posted by ExplicitI think you're talkin' about the Castile case, in Minnesota. IF so, Diamond Reynolds smokes Newport Cigarettes. They had an APB on a suspect who had robbed a "Quckie-Mart", as it were, and among the the items stolen, beside cash was a carton of Newports. the CCTV image showed a man who bore a striking resemblance to Castile. And Diamond Reynolds is seen smoking the same brand in her public appearances following the shooting. The officer was NOT white, but Hispanic, if I recall, correctly.
I'm usually against "police brutality" like the guy who got shot in the car for no reason, sitting next to his girlfriend. But this wasn't police brutality.
This moron had his hands in his pockets, refused to comply with the officer and came off like a threat. That's what you get. And you deserve it. If you're acting shady and have your hands in your pockets, what the fuck are people gonna think? Anyone with common sense would think you have a weapon.
Who the fuck are these people who don't comply with officers, anyway? Even if they stop you for a stupid reason, DON'T be a jackass, be an ADULT, you're not in middle school - COMPLY. Especially if you're innocent. And why do you have your hands in your pockets? Like seriously, what the FUCK do you expect to happen? Obviously you're going to be attacked or worst, shot and killed like in this situation.

A couple days ago here in Phoenix, BLM tried to organize a riot in a popular business and shopping center.
The Tempe police warned them not to block traffic, then arrested a whole bunch of protesters for doing just that.

Yeah, that's the one. I read that in the months prior to the police killing him, this guy had been committing a series of strong armed robberies on pharmacies in the area. He would jump the counter during business hours and steal all the Promethazine with Codeine cough syrup (Purple Drank) sometimes indicating he had a weapon, threatening, the whole nine yards.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Posted by brianafaySeems there's no shortage of jay-walkin bowling pins, these days.
A small group tried block the a busy intersection by one of our main malls here too, like wynter was saying. I don't think anyone was arrested , but they certainly didn't accomplish anything so I guess I hope they enjoyed sweating their balls off
I work right down the road from there nd it's hard enough getting home with the traffic as it is.
God be with me if I ever get placed in that situation ...I don't trust that I wont mow someone down trying to block my car...depends how hungry I am. Lol

black cops cannot be held to NOT be discriminatory as its not so much about skin color but more about class and "positions"
people are so scared that they form groups or "gangs" within social organizations
a gang is a gang is a gang
cops band together and cover their mistakes
so black cops dont fit into the equation at all
Posted by bumboklattWhether corrupt or not, racism or not.... it all boils down to tempting the gun. When someone feels lucky, he or shePosted by MrFirebirdyeah he messed upPosted by bumboklatt

The difference is that a street gang doesn't have the government to back them up. Unless of course,
that government is corrupt.
Doesn't matter though. When you're facing the business side of a gun, in the hands of a lawman,
you don't play stupid games, or else.
That's the part people who play stupid games don't understand. All this marching and stomping and acting
and burning neighborhoods down like spoiled brats, in grown up bodies, is telling of a certain group of people
who really need to be disciplined. Because of the intensity of their rebelliousness, is great, the intensity of
the necessary discipline will have to be that much greater.
It's NOT about color, it's NOT about class and position. It's about civility. When civility goes out the window and
barbarism steps in, Tyranny is waiting in the wings.
I've said it before, I'll say it again...
Unbridled freedom begets chaos and chaos begets cruel tyranny.
Extreme restraint is being demonstrated by law enforcement in the face of the protesters and the rioters.
Time and activist behavior will tell whether that restraint will snap and massacres ensue when PDs and Nat. Guard across the country decide enough is enough and martial law ensues and the first phase of tyranny is initiated.
No government, no nation, no society, no community can exist for long, without law and order.
That's just a simple historical fact.
all I was trying to get across is that whole racism thing. At least in El Cajon ( I lived near there) I wouldnt blame it on racism but the cops there are pretty corruptclick to expand
