I'm not really a numbers man, so you can refrain from posting as i won't read. Anyone can manipulate stats to suit their agenda.

I am debating about what i see. Man running away from officer and gets shot. I reiterate, it is sickening to think about what these officers did in the days of no social media
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What had he done (the guy running away from a policeman)? I haven't seen the story.

I don't care or want to know what he did. Watch it yourself
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviosuly the cops at fault, but i do question why anybody would run away from a cop when you know hes going to pull his gun out

and no im not blaming the guy, just youd think people wouldnt know not to run away

Well I think from the POV of the guy, if a lot of people have been shot for obeying the law, maybe running is your best chance at survival...

I don't. Maybe you do. I never knew running away from the police, whilst having no weapon, could potentially lead to the cops pulling out a gun and shooting you down like a dog. Just exactly what are you trying to explain here? This is a racist police officer that shot a man in cold blood. If i had it my way, people like him should be shot by a firing squad.

Back to the OP, there is definitely room for sports and politics.You only have to look at South Africa and the Rugby World cup

if i am not mistaken, there was a study done at harvard that showed black people were no more likely to be shot than other ethnicities.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are not mistaken.

Statistics show there is a discrepancies between incidents and race, but people chose to ignore facts.

Black or white, it does not matter to me. Something needs to be done about these cops shooting people for fun.

And the the Michigan university of law did a study that black people receive 20% longer sentences as white people for the same crime.

Don't know why you are responding to this rubbish! We can all use stats here all day to suit our agenda. Of course the study from Harvard concluded that. Groundbreaking stuff.

There is a real issue with american cops as well that something like 2/3rds of all domestic violence cases the offender is police - or something like that.

its america...... hes not the first person to be shot while running away, acting like this is the first time ever, so yes i'd expect people to be aware that fecking the cops around will potentially end up with said person being shot. (no it doesnt excuse the cop which i think is what you think im thinking, i just dont understand whyd you run when you know cops can be trigger happy)

Also we dont know if this cop would have shot another race of person in that position, you cant compare him to another case by another cop.

the cop is a murderer

I must admit, the coverage of looting in Wilmington North Carolina only showed the black people doing it. How bad was that.

Totally racist imo.

the policeman who shot him had "you're fked" carved into his gun bolt

some police are nuts and want to shoot anyone, white or black

I have hardly read anything good about them. I travel a lot, but I have stayed well away from that country.

They run because even when they stand/ sit, they still get shot. Do you want more evidence?

im not saying if they sit or stand they will not get shot, what i am saying though is its probably more likely they'll shoot you if you run.

Ok. That makes no sense to me. Man running away from you in an altercation, gets shot. Can you explain to me the reasoning behind this? I genuinely want to understand

posted on 17/9/18

i dont fecking no ask the cops that shoot people running away, im not saying its logical ffs

posted on 17/9/18

Calm down son. You are saying things with no evidence and getting asked to justify your statements. Are you just writing utter nonsense here then?

posted on 17/9/18

you said cops are known to shoot people who are sitting/standing, yet you think running away wouldnt put them in even more danger?

okay

"but i do question why anybody would run away from a cop when you know hes going to pull his gun out"

Where is the evidence to this gibberish you posted. How do you know people know officers are going to pull their gun? Is it normal in America?
