Now they are filing a lawsuit for $10 million.........
I'd like for you to respond to this post I made, please.

Why is calling someone a racist a terrible thing to do but threatening to shoot someone in the face when they are complying is okay? Clear that up for me, please.

They hadn't stolen weapons, it wasn't a massive heist, it was a doll picked up by a toddler. There is no justification for the hostility and threats by those officers.

...there was no theft reported by the shop and they didn’t stop the family ...they followed them until they parked their car...(..and no crime had been reported...)...and then they terrorised them in the parking lot of their baby sitter...they kicked the father so that he fell to the ground and threatened to shoot them both in front of their children...nothing of that is ‘policing’ and as the mayor said, none of what they said or did was appropriate or acceptable...

...I’m sure there are some great police officers in the USA but those two aren’t in that group...

It’s almost like they followed a black family, harassed, threatened and assaulted them in the hopes of finding something to blame their behaviour on

Answer the question, please.

Why is it not okay to call someone a racist but threatening to shoot someone in the head is okay to the point you are defending the would be shooter?

Help me understand here, explain it to me.

I do want a response to this, LT. I want to understand your point of view. Why would you defend someone who threatened to shoot someone in the head but take offense at them being called a racist?

Probably to highlight appalling racist behaviour of American police. Yet again.
