Racial Tension in the U.S.

[The Human Q-Tip]

Of all the fucking news articles trying to spin the anti-black thing, this is by far the worst.

An officer arrives to a shootout call with known black suspects. He then opens fire on a black person with a gun.

This is drastically difference to being in a position of power.

When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Don't get me wrong, a lot of the ones I feel very strongly about.

This one? The only fault should be laid on the cops who didn't call in about an off duty.

This is drastically difference to being in a position of power.

An Officer shot another Off duty officer who was exactly where the police instructed him to be.

The man laid on the ground as instructed and then was told to get up and join the officers.

Yet another cop runs up and shoots him.

If an off duty black cop doesn't have a chance what chance does anyone else have.

what if it was a private citizen with a gun . the gunplay had all ended when this officer arrived.

The cop certainly wasn't pointing the weapon at anyone. he didn't fire his gun and the officer seeing no shots fired. shot his gun solely based on the report of black suspects and seeing a black man with gun.

you don't get more basic racial profiling than this.

Cops never get the full information when they arrive on a suspected crime scene . their supposed to arrive take control of the situation then sort things out.

this veteran police officer did the opposite. he went in with guns blazing when no one was under threat.


Yanez case it was the drivers fault.

now in this case it was because the officers didn't call in an off duty cop...


everyone seems to be responsible for these shootings except the shooter

Holy balls...okay.

Cop A calls for backup. Cop B in pursuit. Cop C knows black man with gun, tells him to come forward, no need to drop the weapon. Cop A and C provide no updates.

Cop B comes in, expecting gun fight of armed black men who aren't wearing uniforms, opens fire.

That's not the fucking same as any other situation.

btw three officers were walking up to the cop. yet the officer who arrived on the scene claimed on his report he had reason to "fear for his life"

I mean, Torn, it's not racial profiling.

If they never identified the suspects and called them in as black, sure. Racially profiled an unknown suspect.

But they were known targets, the situation calmed and no update was provided. Contrary to the movies, shoot outs between parties have lulls. You'll have periods of silence.

So here comes cop C, sees an armed black male approaching two other officers, who still likely have their guns draw, and opens fire.

I'm sorry if you can't see how this isn't Philando Castile. It's a non issue from a race standpoint, and in a gray world, the cops onsite are the reason it happened.

DO you have the transcripts of the police radio?

The police had already detained 2 suspects.

The trigger happy officer had been involved in a shootout earlier in the week... perhaps he shouldn't of been out on the street so soon?

Well he didn't shoot the armed white guys .

the black suspect that was still on the loose.

that justified shooting a black man with a gun... just because he had a gun?

Showing up to a dispatched shoutout in which declared suspects are African American, only to see one individual with a gun walking closer to officers who failed to clarify that the situation has ended, or that there's was an off duty, probably has reason to at least fear for his life.

Can you imagine, your friends call you and say a crazy guy in a parking lot wearing overalls just shot at them, and you show up, and see that guy walking towards your friends, you'd stop and think, wait, maybe he's their friend? No you wouldn't.

This situation is drastically different than any other of the "famous" reported cop and black killings/shootings. It's drastically different, and painstakingly obvious that it's an attempted force of square peg into a smaller round hole.

The armed white guys wearing uniforms... Got it.

Why on earth would he shoot a white guy if the suspect is black Tornicade.

Do you really not understand how drastically you're misrepresenting a non-issue?

Use your time to pound pavement about miscarriages of justice that are actually an issue.

 

[DJTJ]

Why on earth would he shoot a white guy if the suspect is black Tornicade.

Or if they're wearing a fucking uniform.

If only this off duty cop knew the correct protocol.

ST LOUIS – A black off-duty St. Louis police officer was shot by a white on-duty police officer from the same department who apparently mistook him for a fleeing suspect, according to a statement from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.

At about 10 p.m. Wednesday evening, St. Louis police received a report that a stolen vehicle had been spotted. Officers laid down spike strips and turned on their lights, but the occupants of the vehicle allegedly opened fire on police. Officers followed the car until it crashed.

According to the police statement, the armed suspects then fled on foot. Meanwhile, an off-duty officer who lived near where the crash occurred came outside with his department issued firearm after hearing the commotion.

Two officers "challenged the off-duty officer and ordered him to the ground," the department said. The officer complied and once they recognized him the on-duty officers told him "to stand up and walk toward them."



At about the same time, another officer who had just arrived on the scene saw what was happening and "fearing for his safety and apparently not recognizing the off-duty officer, discharged a shot, striking the off-duty officer in the arm."

The injured officer was taken to the hospital and has since been released. He is described as 38 year old with 11 years of service. The department says that the officer who allegedly shot him is 36 years old with over eight years of service.

Two of the three suspects in the stolen car chase were taken into custody and booked on $500,000 cash bond. One suspect is still at large.

Seven officers have been placed on administrative leave while the shooting is investigated.

Ya think they start w/ these fears? Or you think shit they see on the job builds these fears?
