But according to history books there was no women in america until Florence Nightingale.Posted by bubblebathFree for the white man, if the Britain hadn't been so arrogant, slavery would have ended long before the civil war, and guns wouldn't be the 2nd amendment.Posted by CaramelizedCoffeeso much for America land of the freePosted by bubblebathyep, wish we never won the war against the arrogant British.
America's cops are so corrupt, no wonder people don't have as much respect for them tbh. went to new york to visit family, and there were posters around fining people who shot cops
also with your guys gun laws, the system is messed up. if you didn't have this problem, you guys can blame your gun laws.
no one expect to call the police for help and get shot. police have too much power, that when they take advantage of it. the woman didn't deserve to get shot, despite what her history was
all these laws came during the revolutionary war to twart British law.
Blacks assumed wrongly that equal under the law meant them and probably just wanted their freedom so fought for the patriots, even that lame FUKER Washington, who kept his slaves till he died, and was curious why they fuking ran away from his pathetic a $ 4. Ummm bytch didn't black men fight for your revolution, you can't even see them as a HUMAN BEING ...
i would have not fought for the colonists...i would have defected and said fuk all ya'll

Posted by LadyNeptuneShe got it right, with two separate incidentsPosted by DamnataRead again hun.Posted by LadyNeptuneSo..she harasses police with metal shears...then at the time of the shooting officers are heard saying "get back" which means she was advancing...
She had been arrested and charged with obstruction of a public officer and harassment of a law enforcement officer on June 5. That police report described Lyles as having "armed herself with a pair of extra long metal shears" and that she had been "threatening the officers." She was released conditionally June 14.
The encounter between the officers and Lyles started calmly as heard in an audio recording. But it suddenly escalated with the officers saying "get back" repeatedly. Shots were heard in the audio.
...we still don't get the full details of the case but time to assume and be outraged.
I agree..it has to stop. And by "it" I mean unfounded outrage by the public. It's embarrassing to not use mental faculties and be driven by passion.
The incident with the shears was a separate incident entirely.
She called the police to investigate a possible break in. They gunned her down presumably in front of her kids. And of course the police body cam footage is missing from the released footage by the police.click to expand
Posted by CheVirgoYes prisons are a left over relic from slavery days...meant to oppress and enslave people of color.
I remember as a 15 year old playing basketball with my friends who were Black and Spanish got stopped by police looking for a black guy with a hoodie height description 5'6 to 6'7 ????? that can be any black person. I really hate when white people say things like " you won't go to jail if you don't dress like a thug " Martin Luther King went to jail, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks and they wore suites and dresses. People need to read the constitution it shows how racist America is with black people being 3/5 of a human being and how the gov't can still practice slavery in prison which is why cops go into black and Spanish communities, to force slave labor. Most black and Spanish men are in jail for none violent crime like selling weed but unlike the white guy who sells and smoke weed too that black and Spanish person will go to jail because they look like a " bad dude ".
Sorry for the long paragraph and terrible gramma.

Posted by tctaYou don't know her mental stability. If she's crazy enough to entice the police to her home via a bogus 911 call, try to stab them (presumably) then what's to say she wouldn't attempt to harm her children? People do crazy stuff when they're messed up
Not sure why they didn't just shoot her in the leg or something to stop her from advancing with a weapon - there was no reason to kill her if she could be stopped. Now there are 2 dead and 4 children homeless.

Posted by P-AngelAs always we only know what the police say why don't we ask the kids who where there. Or are they to young to know what they saw. Just wait till the police get a hold of them and change what they saw with the reverse psychology they will use! Mix up the words confusing and badgering them.
According to the article, she confronted the police officers with two knives .... I'm not talking about before with the shears.
I'm talking at the time she was shot .... she advanced on the cops with knives.
It's sad when a person loses their life .. but, life would be worse without being policed.
she shouldn't have confronted cops with knives. had she practiced being sensible, then she'd probably still be alive today

Once again trigger happy police gun down a person of color... When will this end!!!
On Thursday, Seattle police released Lyles' 911 call and a video recording from her hallway, showing the 24 hours leading up to the shooting.
On Sunday, shortly before 9 a.m., Lyles called 911 to report a break-in and told the operator that her door was open and that "there's stuff missing," from her home. She told him that she had left about two to three hours ago and when she came back, the door was open.
The hallway video from her apartment showed Lyles leaving and entering, but didn't show anyone else going inside her unit.
Two police officers, identified as Steven McNew and Jason Anderson, responded to her call.
They arrived to her apartment knowing of a previous incident she had with police earlier in the month. She had been arrested and charged with obstruction of a public officer and harassment of a law enforcement officer on June 5. That police report described Lyles as having "armed herself with a pair of extra long metal shears" and that she had been "threatening the officers." She was released conditionally June 14.
The encounter between the officers and Lyles started calmly as heard in an audio recording. But it suddenly escalated with the officers saying "get back" repeatedly. Shots were heard in the audio.
Three children were in the apartment at the time of the shooting, police said.
"When we call police for help, we expect protection. We expect safety. It was their responsibility to protect her and they didn't," James Bible, an attorney representing family members of Lyles, told CNN affiliate KIRO.
Both officers were equipped with less lethal force options, police said.
McNew and Anderson are currently on paid administrative leave while the shooting is under investigation.

Pregnant women are dangerous too sometimes. Time will tell.
Shooting an unarmed pregnant woman 5 times in front of her children is justified to you?? I can't think of any scenario that makes that justified...
She called them for HELP. They shot her dead. Where is the grey area here???!!!
She did call for help, but things quickly went downhill and here we are.
If it is found out that they fucked up, they will be prosecuted. A jury will decide at that point.click to expand
