Another Police Shooting

How about if Doctors only had to study for a year to get their license and maybe even get it online. How comfortable would you be going under the knife? Its not always about good or bad. It can boil down to just not knowing how to do their job correctly.
you're a fool if you think you don't have to have that conversation
I have had this convo with my boys repeatedly at multiple ages
I agree.
At the same time the numbers I posted tell a large chunk of what we need to know.
1000 people killed by police every year in a country 0f 330,000,000.
Most of those killed were armed.
Yes.
And that's a big problem.
I get the feeling you don't read my posts.
There are nuances to these topics.
In this case the victim had both hands in plain view.
Anyone arguing for police in this instance lacks empathy and understanding of institutionalized racism. It's not a political issue, but a societal one. Racism is bad. This is racism at its core.
Pure right and wrong, at least until we legalize on the spot execution for fleeing or resisting.
So your point is that policing can be dangerous and sometimes they act properly? Thanks Admiral Obvious.
Have you seen the bodycam footage?
I think you're painting with a pretty broad brush and jumping to conclusions.
Unless you've seen the bodycam footage.
I think jumping to conclusions is a bad thing.
You need to be aware of your biases.
My wife is trying to teach her students this. I think it's a valuable skill, especially today. She's doing it in a pretty clever way too.
Could easily end up hitting the femoral artery and they bleed out. Any part of the body carries a risk.
They only released a tiny bit of it, and you now damm well that if it showed the cops in the right it would have been released yesterday. Also I believe most of the cops there resigned, what does that tell you?
That's going to be a lot of footage methinks.
I saw a few had resigned, one of those was a retirement.
That could mean A LOT of different things.
Your bias is showing, heavily.
If you could even shoot that accurately to hit the leg under that sort of stress.
It is called reality, remember the 2 recent shoots where the Bodycams directly contradicted the police reports? You are extremely naive.
