I am not sure why people cannot figure this shit out. It is pretty fucking simple.
The police officer has weapons: taser, baton, mace or pepper spray, and most of all, a firearm that can kill you. And a radio to call for more of his or her fellow officers to descend upon you.
Why do you want to resist? Fight? Run away? Reach for anything? Perform any sudden movement? Talk back or give him shit? Any of these things might be the last thing you ever do.
Of course, you can always 'stand up to the Man' and then get the opportunity to lay down in the grave.
How many of the police shootings have occurred when the person is holding their hands up and NOT doing anything else, just standing there......not running away, not making any sudden motions, not shouting at the police officer.
Hey the late John Lewis - why didn't you listen to the police who told you not to cross the Pettus Bridge. If only you had listened we wouldn't busted your head open and terrorized your fellow marchers.
Hey Dr. Martin Luther King, why didn't you listen when we told you to leave and then resisted arrest during one of your fucking boycotts. If you had only left, Sheriff Conners would have brought out the water guns and beat to a pulp your fellow resisters.
Hey, members of the First Baptist Church (name be wrong) - if you guys had only listened to the police we wouldn't have bombed your church and killed your kids.
Hey Senator Tim Scott - why do you have to drive a fancy car for a black dude. And why did you parade around the Capital building like you own the place. Because if you have bought a black mans' car we wouldn't have stopped you seven times and if you didn't act like an uppity black we wouldn't keep harassing you in the rotunda.
Hey Armaund Aubrey - why didn't you stop when a couple of good old boys were going to make a citizen's arrest. Because if you had they wouldn't have killed you.
Anyone who thinks BLM (I am not talking about the self-styled moronic leaders but the "movement") is just about George Floyd, Jacob Blake or Eric Garner is a fucking idiot. Just like the populist movement isn't about Trump but a lot of grievances that preceded him.
Man, for probably rich educated people, you guys sound so damn ignorant.
I bet none of you fear for your life if you get pulled over. Just stop and think for a second. Is this really about standing up to the "man" or being tough to a police officer? Of course not. It about being treated fairly, not being constantly profiled and not treated subhuman.
All BLM really is, is a cry for help to society to acknowledge the unbalanced system and rectifying it. BLM is not about wanting more than you or taking yours, it about having the same opportunities as you do.
That's it. So stop thinking you are the one who knows more than them, the one who decides if what they are saying has merit and just listen with an open heart for christ sake.
NEW LEVEL of suicide by cop...comes with life insurance proceeds (free of tax, no need to make any premiums, get an amount you would never qualify, for in a million years)...comes with fame and notoriety(offspring will think you are a hero and will change the world)...funerals that rival a past president or MLK-civil rights leader ---- all while being a loser in life, common criminal
all they need to do at this point is to accept Jesus in their lives and they can go to heaven to boot
***where do we sign up...my life has turned to shit, rent can't be paid anymore, next court date for possible rp might not go that well...my public defender says "run" or be locked up for years
the blueprint has been laid out
that's why they don't put shooters' faces on TV anymore...keep them from getting that notoriety and creating copy cats.
this one is better though...it comes with benefits
@Quat I'm saying men on here probably have extra disposable income which usually come from some form of education.
But that was the most important thing you took from what I said? You clearly have a choice to care or not. People of color don't have that luxury.
tim scott had a police reform plan...offered the dems 20 adjustments to it, before it went up for voting
it's a start...baby steps. some of the dem plans are just dumb...no one would ever sign up to be a cop again with some of their new rules...IS THAT THE PLAN??
he's a black man that has experienced being black encountering the police
Alll I did was post a video from a guy with some common sense, lol
Fucking indoctrinated white privileged Progs can't help but react
MLK would be ashamed of you weak ass fucks
Sometimes, the Black Lives Matter movement doesn't help itself very much. They should stop doing shit like this that gets attention they don't need. See video in link.
@GBD - seriously go fuck yourself. I don't know what race you are but I sincerely hope you are not black and vote Orange Asshat because then you are not a just fucking idiot but also willingly putting your fellow people of color in danger.
This is not about left or right but about human rights.
Jacob Blake: Some asshole who's being arrested for sticking his fingers into his ex against her will is not a freedom fighter you shit-for-brains. This is the disconnect that all you lefties don't understand. That's the reason that BLM will never be legit. It makes you seem stupid for trying to sell that shit.
the eatery in that twitter that got swamped is standing with those fighting for injustice...BLM support...I'm sure they just lost tons of customers. let us see, get torched, or lose customers?? seems like torched might be better...pick up some insurance and gofundme support VS the slow death
virtually all businesses in the Minn area, where the initial riots occurred and surrounding areas, have signs up supporting BLM...if they don't? they feel they will get torched
the shy trump pollers and voters are growing(if you come out in public, you get whacked)...the down-ballot vote will be moving red
soros is one step ahead of everyone...he put his money into local district atty races
guess who is getting out of jail so fast? guess what and where charges are not getting filed? some are being filed...those like the couple with guns protecting their home (when the chief of police and governor say stop the bullshit)
During the civil rights movement the police were not there to serve and protect but to suppress and intimidate the movement. In fact in later years the FBI and its cointerpro program set out to assassinate black leaders. To think that the police are some neutral force is not true. Especially now with the growing influence of white militias in many police departments their role is even more clear. When people are oppressed they will inevitably resist. Just as inevitably they will be put down by force. Maybe instead of looking at protestors and BLM as the problem check the role of the police.
The asshole in the video says that Black people are getting shot because they are criminals and resisting arrest. Tell that to Charles Kinsey, who was LAYING DOWN on the fucking ground WITH BOTH HANDS RAISED when he was shot by a fucking cop. You continue to ignore the reality of most Black Americans because it is not your reality. Ignoring the reality of a large number of people not only means you are wrong, it means you are a shitty motherfucking asshole.
I like punishing innocent people for things that happened in the past, long before they were born.
I like to riot and burn down 12 cities every time someone with a criminal record and an open warrant for felony sexual assault breaks a restraining order, commits assault again, steals her keys, violently resists arrests, brandishes a knife at police, and then tries to run off with her car and the kids.
I mean, who cares if she ever sees her kids again. Those pigs should have just let him go, amiright?!
Silly, black women don't matter.
Black children don't matter.
Black business owners don't matter.
Black people trying to sleep at night don't matter.
Black police officers don't matter.
Only black rapist criminals matter!
Notice that's an incomplete sentence. What he actually said was, "They'll let you grab 'em by the pussy." It was a stupid comment, but it also implied consent. It's just another fake news hoax meant to smear the President.
