Thugs and idiots looking for an excuse to loot. Many of them didn't get the memo that the police officer who shot the armed man was black.

[GiRTh]

Arista, are you gonna report on both recent shootings or just this one?

[GiRTh]

Ok looks like you're only reporting this one so here the other recent unarmed shooting.

A white woman officer who shot the black man who had his hands up has just been convicted of first degree murder.

No Girth he was only ever going to report the aftermath as I knew he would .

Curfew
National Guard Deployed.

The Black Police officer said the man
had a gun, not a book.

Tulsa Police Officer Shares Her Side of the Story in Terence Crutcher's Shooting
http://abcnews.go.com/US/tulsa-police-officer-shares-side-story-terence-crutchers/story?id=42243843

The lawyer gives his very detailed play by play of events...

Also the officer has just been charged with manslaughter for Terence Crutcher.

Is'nt this thread about a black officer shooting a black man?Why doesn't someone just make another thread for the other shooting?

[Crimson Dynamo]

I dont know why we dont just abandon courts, evidence jurys lawyers and judges and just watch video snippets of alleged crimes etc and then post about it on twitter, if enough people are outraged then we lynch the person involved?

Its OK
let Girth have his news story's
at least they are concluding.


On the Black Officer
shooting the Black
man - thats stuck
as Police back the officer , so far.

[GiRTh]

Concluding? Exactly. You've come in very much toward the end of the story. Are you gonna explain to the forum what has happened so far or do you want them to only comment on the civil unrest and rioting?

[arista]

Girth
I meant in the Tulsa Shooting
that cop arrested

Meanwhile in North Carolina
Curfew starts at midnight.
No change

[GiRTh]

Thats not what you said. I dont see any post where you refer to Tulsa but if you insist you were referring to the Tulsa shooting then thanks for clearing that up. :thumbs:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I feel for the law enforcement officers having to deal with this unrest from hooligans and perps, i really do

[GiRTh]

I feel for the law enforcement officers having to deal with this unrest from hooligans and perps, i really doMe too and isnt it good we have a thread where we can all call these actions disgusting and deplorable.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Me too and isnt it good we have a thread where we can all call these actions disgusting and deplorable.

Girth you need to face reality and stop watching Facebook

[GiRTh]

Girth you need to face reality and stop watching Facebook
I dont go on facebook, so no idea what you mean :shrug:

So what precisely is the reality I need to face up to?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Conflicting stories. Family says he was reading a book and cop says he had a gun. There are corrupt black cops too- at times influenced by their white colleagues. As a movie reference the black cop in straight outta Compton.
Still doesn't change the fact that a lot of cops act on fear and racial profiling.

Because Arista loves opening these threads on this matter but only when it suits his narrative.

It a News Thread
not a narrative

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

It a News Thread
not a narrative

But you don't post everything about it. I personally would prefer if you left this subject alone and stopped posting threads about it because we already know where you stand but well...

[arista]

The Police are still looking at their own
camera video.


No more deaths
is a good thing
All Lives Matter

...this is awful, I mean the very most you could say about it would be bad judgement and judgement that shouldn't be a part of the police force but that's so questionable as well../that it was just bad judgement because of some of the things that were said...'this looks like a bad dude too'..I man, what..?...so it's what he looks like and not his actions that were part of a determining factor in shooting him and why anyway because the Taser was going to be used....and him being a 'large man' played a role, why would that play a role with someone who was walking away with his hands in the air...?...what would that then matter what size he was....(but of course, she went to an all black football game so she really isn't afraid of black people, I mean that proves it...)....that CNN vid and interviews are incredible/very damning...if a shoot to kill policy is adopted then it should always be justified immediately and without any doubts/contradictions/confusions etc...but that seems so often, not the case....
