What are you laughing at?
Trill you know you my and I will stand with you but this here was being stupid.... You know what's going on out here...why walk away from cops ready to shoot your ass...I'm not excusing it but gotdayum how stupid do you gotta be....he may have thought he was right but have you ever heard of being dead right ?
We'll if white cops just stop killing unarmed blacks this wouldn't be a problem. As a fan of black culture and hip hop, I thought you would be more empathetic.
This happens all the time regardless of race. Media is going to have a field day with it which is their job. It's grim business.
At you saying his car had broken down....does that give him the right to walk away from audible commands to freeze? I don't care if his car exploded..being the that i am if i got one gun pointed at me let alone 5 especially by 5 white cops my ass ain't making anyone sudden movements....the was a dumb plain and simple
He could have been following orders to take however many steps back and to put his hands on the hood or back of his vehicle, we don't know. What I can tell from that footage was a man was wrongly murdered on the side of the road, ain't no way around it.
I can't even fault black people's interaction with police because cops always with us. Her husband in the helicopter called Terence a "bad dude" and he's a 100ft up in the sky.
I think the female cop arrived 1st, saw a big ass black man and immediately thought of the worst. No way could he have needed help, no way could he have owned that navigator. She saw him as another thug in a stolen vehicle and took it 0 to 100 real quick.
I'm absolutely empathetic, and I have and will pray for this man and his family. Cops kill unarmed citizens whether they are white or black, especially if they are reaching for something after being ordered to the ground. Again, the context of the shooting will be sensationalized to create controversy.
Point taken.
Me? I'd be grateful to have the cop show up to push me with those rubber stanches off the road so I wouldn't have to pay the tow. Then when the old lady came we'd switch cars and I'd push her to the service facility and save the tow. Cubby's a pusher & never pays the tow.
The use of lethal force by police officers as a first resort, rather than a last one, has reached a point of ridiculousness. Pissed off cops don't have a justification for summary executions and cops who get pissed off because their orders aren't immediately satisfied need to find other ways to make a living.
And as the father of two deaf kids and a friend of many families with deaf children (white, black, and brown) who don't always respond immediately or appropriately, no matter their intentions, to instructions the willingness of so many to simply justify a killing based on a suspect's noncompliance is frightening, to say the least.
There is no controversy. Cops are violating our rights as Americans to due process and getting away with it.
Why was the entire police force and a helicopter on the scene of a stalled vehicle?
God bless you and your children. I posted a story about a deaf man who was killed not too long ago by a cop.
From what I've seen so far and for all we know, this man might have never been shot at all, and this was a staged event. Our "rights" have been bought and sold, and you will find those rights have no weight in a Maritime court of Law. The fact that the entire police force was there with a heli and camera crew certainly raises some eyebrows.
Again this is on the cops. decades of unfair treatment of minorities have lead to this scrutiny. The officer should be charged with murder and the other cops should potentially face charges.
Things we know
-He was unarmed.
-His vehicle was broken down after attending school
-He was shot and killed.
Whether it get sensationalized or not it deserves national attention. Police need to be held accountable, if that is what it takes to get justice then so be it.
Sure if he would have done something different, maybe he wouldn't have been shot.
But you've got some dude with guns drawn on him who probably had 1000 things going through his mind.
And on the other side, you have 4 cops who are supposedly trained.
But the burden to not make a single mental mistake or single wrong move is on the unarmed dude?
He doesn't get it Trill. On the video it looks like he is walking away but without audio, there is no way of knowing that he was following orders.
Man, as a kid I got hassled all the time by the cops. Walking down the street and pushed up against the cop car because I was wearing certain colors. One time I was at a friends house and his mom asked us to walk to the store to get her some milk and stuff. On the way back carrying the things she asked for and drinking a soda I was told to stop. As I turned to see who was telling me something I was tackled. I was then picked up and asked why I didn't listen. Dude never identified himself as a police officer and I'm not going to stop just because some random dude yells stop. So, needless to say, the milk and my soda was spilled all over the sidewalk and I was let go with a warning because he couldn't find anything on me. A. Warning.
Kool don't know that life. Even in the slight chance that he actually is black, the dude was some kind of lame that doesn't know .
I have a buddy that is deaf and that ain't no joke. We have trouble communicating with him sometimes and I see the dude all the time. He is a deaf black man. Sucks to be him right now.
Trill you are right in that we don't have audio.. But let's use basic reasoning homie...taking steps back is one thing turning your back on cops with guns pointed at you and walking away is assisine... All what you say may be true but guess what ....that is dead because he knows what's going on out here and yet he does something totally stupid... If its me knowing cops are trigger happy I'm not interested in being mourned by the black community because I was shot by cops...if its me then I'm standing there with my hands up and I'm not moving until they come and force my hands behind my back... No matter how you slice it he made a bone head move regardless if the cop was wrong or not...he's dead because he didn't use common sense
You gotdam right it is....you got 4 or 5 guns on your ass..knowing they are already trigger happy... Not knowing if they are white supremacists...yes if you have any hope of staying alive the burden to do everything right unfortunately is on you...
Shut your silly ass up..lil I'm an OG.....
Dude was trying to commit suicide. In that situation, it is the officer's duty to do their best to keep the person alive. I'm guessing he fired some warning shots to scare them and they hit him with the LtL. Of course that story focuses more on opinion than actual facts cherry picking incidents to support the writer's opinion. I've recently found out about the Tavistock Ins ute which apparently sets the blueprint for these kinds of things. The Committee of 300, Lords of London, etc..
Poor Monty Williams. Wife was killed by a methhead.
I'm a young black man, and unilaterally deaf(deaf in one ear; left). It's something I try not to think about too much but it's always in the back of my head, not just with police interactions but any dangerous bang/bang situation. Im not completely deaf, I actually have no problem hearing in regular settings but if there's background noise, the person doesn't speak clearly etc it usually takes me a second to register what was said.
