Maybe. You would know better than me because you experience these things, I don't. Tell us about your experiences. That's the only way we learn.

my experiences with the injustice system is far way too deep to explain but I do know they exploit black lives more than any other community and im just tired of the racism

What I don’t get is what do people who resist arrest expect to accomplish but to escalate an already bad situation. Granted there are bad cops who harass minorities for no reason. The police needs to do a better job of rooting those bad cops out rather than shield them via powerful police unions.
However, so many BLM proponents argue that police could have just let the resisting suspect go because police knows who he is, the guy is unarmed, and the police can always go pick him up at home later because they know where the guy lives. Hence, are BLM proponents suggesting that the default policy for anyone who becomes belligerent and resist arrest is to let the guy go?
I mean if police tried to tackle the suspect, taser him, and the guy still resists, then progressive use of force only has so many tiers before deadly force is drawn.
If police lets an angry belligerent and probably scared suspect walk away, who’s to say this guy won’t go him and load up on weapons or take hostages.
In most recent case, when cops show up to a scene, they don’t have the foreknowledge of knowing who’s the perpetrators v who’s helping v who’s a witness. If cops see a fight, I think their job is to establish order and control of the scene and then ask questions afterward. If everyone complied, the cops would have probably put all suspects in cuffs or squad car first, interview witnesses second, and release non-guilty party afterward, and finally haul the guilty perps to the station.
I don’t think suspects in a melee get to have the right to resist arrest. Sure it ducks being in the wrong place at the wrong time but people need to cooperate until cops establish order so they can sort out the perps from the bystanders.
BLM proponents, do you want as policy (so suspect doesn’t risk escalation and risk being killed) to allow all suspects to leave scene of arrest when suspect gets belligerent and resist arrest?

What many don't consider about those who support BLM:
The number of black people who did absolutely nothing, yet still found themselves staring down the barrel of a gun, and survived.
My heart goes out to each and every black person who lost their lives to police brutality.
The only time in my life where a gun was pointed straight in my face was by a cop who had no justification for escalating a run of the mill situation.
I've had to maintain my cool, and calm down a cop to avoid getting shot in front of my girlfriend (at the time)...while waiting for AAA. We were waiting for her car to get service on an off ramp, and this cop shows, up, is told what happened, and without provocation, tried to turn escalate the situation by drawing his gun. This experience is why some would advocate for defund the police.
That was not my only life threatening encounter with police while doing absolutely nothing.
Many people of African descent have thankfully avoided losing their lives to what appears to be emotionally unstable police officers.
Before rap music became toxic, may artists produced songs about police brutality back in the 1980's.
People quietly, or loudly support groups like BLM to mourn those that did not survive encounters with members of law enforcement.
Many do not realize that some Americans grow up legitimately fearing the police.
Funny enough, I have never seen cops go "Dirty Harry" on truly violent offenders, only in the movies.
Instead of blaming the victims of excess brutality, I believe the onus should be put on how emotionally unstable individuals are allowed into the ranks of law enforcement.
Not every one has the balls, and the cool head needed to be police officers.
Employing officers with better decision making skills would actually work to diminish the influence of BLM.

I dont know anyone who was against police reform after the Flloyd video. Before the protests and riots.

i agree there are many many fundemental issues with police departments including:
1 a culture where you cover up for someone who is wrong beacuse hes a cop
2 the same culture where if you tell, or uphold the law which you were swarn to do, you are hazed, beaten, excluded, and or drummed off the force
3 a culture wereby if they do something that injures or damages someone, its not their fault but the person (s) they're pursuing. no responsibility. thats like Flip Wilson saying "the devil made me do it"
4 an orginization that has no outside, unrelated oversight, and a corrupt management and union that protects the bad ones istead of treating them the same as anyone else who breaks the with the same speed and standards the hold the rest of us to.
until all of these are changed or eliminated from the top down to the very last we ALL will continue to live in a 2 tier society similar to Orwell's Animal Farm whereby the elite ( police ) are not subject to the laws and punishment that everyone else is.

Left wing & right wing are part of the same bird.
Democrats and Republicans serve the same masters.
Both sides work to keep the people divided.

Stop! Police!
No, not until I get my $200 dollars!

@ phoenix73
Yes, resources should go out to police brave enough to expose fellow officers who are unfit to serve.
They need to be protected, honored.
This would help relations with communities across America.
Imagine the relief of people having legitimate confidence in honest, sincere, and stable cops.

I agree with reform recommendations for police but why is everything so one sided. Is there no expectation for compliance on the part of the suspect? BLM tends to mix obvious incidences of unwarranted racist police brutality vs murkier ones. You have cases like the one described above whereby innocent people are pulled over for no reason and rogue cops go on ego trips.
However, these incidents differ greatly from justified police encounters whereby cops have justifiable reason for arresting suspect(s) in order to control a situation or whereby the suspect committed an arrestable offense. In both the Jacob Blake and Rayshard Brooks incidents, police gradually went from hand to hand combat to arrest, taser, to finally gun. At any point, the suspect could disengage or the police could let him go?
At any point the suspect could also simply comply and problem solved.
My point is where in all this BLM conversation is talk about expectations for suspects resisting arrest? (Sure there are non-justifiable arrests but most arrests are lawful).
It’s like instead of also addressing this equally challenging problem of people combatively resisting justifiable arrests, BLM puts all the onus on cops to fix this problem.
There lies the cynicism of the BLM movement.

So many traffic stops are pretexts stops because a black suspect has a license plate light or taillight out. . Or cops say you did not make a complete stop at the limit line etc. These stops have nothing to do with a taillight etc just as a way to check the guy for warrants or to search a car. Often instead of asking do you know why I stopped you? the first words are you on probation or parole? Or, do you mind if I search the car?Often these stops lead to an arrest for some drugs etc. They then hook you up, impound your car, take you to the station and put you in jail. I can understand why the black man being profiled would be very pissed off. Happens all the ti

I get stopped all the time whether I'm in Texas or I'm in So Cal or Arizona to visit family. Why? Cause I'm an American Indian that looks like an American Indian. It's been happening since I got a license and I'm sure it won't stop til I can't drive anymore. Is it a pain? Absolutely! Do I care? Only when it makes me late for an appointment. Other then that doesn't really bother me cause I've done nothing wrong and the majority of cops are decent about it. There have been some a-holes but I find a-holes in every profession.
I even got stopped when I was driving on the 101 to Santa Monica in my '56 Ford pick up because the cop wanted to check it out!
It's really not that big of deal.

You can comply, and still catch a baton upside the head, or have a loaded gun to the face.
We only see the stuff caught on camera. The media only exploits the extreme violence to incite rage.
Who knows how many incidents go unrecorded, unreported, or flat out ignored.
You have American citizens truly terrified of the police.
People fear the police more than the criminals in their neighborhood.
That should not be the case.
BLM caught on for a reason. I have yet to meet a black person who has suicide by cop on their bucket list.
If you can justify these murders, then as Trump said: it is what it is.
Racial tension will continue going in one endless circle due to the manipulations of the left & and the right.
Groups like BLM will go away when Americans drop their ethnocentric views, listen without prejudice (thanks, George Michael), and work on understanding each other.

People on this site who can't even see each other......can't get along.
Regardless of color, many here should probly be breathing coffin air
And, i'm not excluding myself.
Nothing like a good whiff of nihilism to clear the air

I've got your eulogy already written, GBD.

Unfortunately you have to reach being accountable. Police don’t just mysteriously appear. They are there for a reason. I’ve been active in changing my past lately. Try the same and see how different life is for you.
|
|
You are.

I can always depend on you, JC
What's up with Audrey, she got a time machine?
Going back and changing the past?
I could use that to go back and change my parents to Rockefeller or Getty.
|

I’d have my parents changed too lol. Life is not easy. We all need accountability. Time to love all.
|

Ok, baby...show me the love!!

im active in changing my life I didn't say they bother u for no reason and definitely there is no such thing as blue lives matter . if your black and don't support black lives matter im revoking ur black card now because u obviously are not educated about your history .
|

All lives matter but by all the killing of unarmed black people over and over and over again it sure seems like society doesn't seem to think black lives matter or have equal worth. I don't agree with people burning up shit and looting property but when society gets so fucked up to the point where the lives of American citizens don't seem to have equal worth, then something you got tear shit up and start all over.

Typo "then sometimes you got tear shit up and start all over."

I'll say it here right to your face with plenty of comment left.
You're a no fact having piece of shill shit.
Popping off nonsense with absolute nothing to back it up.
Your wrong about Trump's China ban. Wasn't a ban.
Your dumbass is even wrong about the month it happened Feb not Jan.
It was never a fuckin BAN.
You just repeat Fox New Trump bullshit, it was travel restrictions that were full of fucking holes. Thousands of people came here from China after he put them into affect.
Many were American returning home.
Last couple of comments in blog below. His bullshit then links to AP not Fox or CNN but apnews.com telling what happen with that. (below)
Back to BLM!

I don't agree with rioting or looting either , I really don't agree with killing unarmed black men or shooting them 7 x times in the back or had they knee on your neck for 8 mins and 46 seconds . how would you feel ? how would you rebel ? this is not reflection of me but what my ancestors paved the way for us to be able to do the things we are able to do NOW Period @anyone who got a problem with black lives matter because they do
|
|
I've been harassed and judged by the police without doing anything , I've been provoked and intimidated by police or people with police privilege trust me when I say ALL LIVES MATTER but so DO BLACK LIVES !!! that's all im saying , we don't get treated fairly in society .

Shit has to change I just don't know how that change is made.
People just get used to doing the so ole same ole.
Recently they changed the name of the REDSKINS football team.
That shit is clearly racist it should have been changed right after they made they name.
Confederate statues they should have been taken down years ago.
The Confederacy lost why the fuck are military bases still named after those losers?
People fuckin normalize fucked up shit.
The same is for police brutality the only difference with whats going on now is everyone can now pull out a camera at a seconds notice.
Back when Rodney King got his ass kicked someone had to record it with some big ass camcorder.
Police brutality is normalized that why it continues. It never stopped in the first place.

I totally agree ^^^ with what you're saying we Normalize F***kd up and Fake shit so much we can't see what's real ( what's right in front of our eyes clearly ) this is passed long over due . we can play the blame game or we can stand up together and put our differences aside and come together as 1 human race . no one is better than the other and some been through more than others I just ask before u judged someone show some compassion and love . its not always about what someone did to someone but why they did it in the first place is the TOPiC of discussion we should focus on , well I hope everyone has a good weekend
