Do you see this? Do you see how unbothered they are? Absolutely no sympathy for the mother as she cries aloud. They don’t see her pain and they’re standing right next to her. When Antonio Martin was shot, he was still breathing, he died right where he laid. His mother watched her son die before her. The cop didn’t call the medical unit. That’s all the evidence you need to realize these cops don’t care!! Shooting to wound isn’t something they practice. Shoot to kill is

1. You don't shoot to wound, if someone pulls a gun
on you it is your life or his.
Racist troll

3. And if they don't pull a gun on you?
Eric Garner had no gun.
Michael Brown had no gun.
Tamir Rice had no gun.
Do we really want to have our police officers treat every member of the community they serve as if that person is ready and able to kill them?
Of course, the problem is the police only seem to treat brown people that way.
Catfight in the making?

totally different. Second nobody said anything about those other incidents. Third the guy that shoots to wound is a fool and most likely a dead one.
Yep!

11. Right. And its just a convenient coincidence that the cop "forgot" to turn his body cam on.
Antonio Martin must have been a lawless thug - so he deserved to die.
Seems every black man killed by police turns out to be a lawless thug - in spite of all evidence otherwise.

15. I live in an area that mostly has a very low crime rate. There is a very small black population
but most violent crimes are black on black in a couple areas were they makeup the highest percentage of the population. The vast majority of them are not locals they are drug dealers from Chicago, Columbus
or Cleveland. In the last couple years we have had several murders by whites from the south working the oil and gas fields. It's running joke if you go
to Steubenville Ohio you better be armed.
ALERT!!!!

19. You know that all you're doing here is furthering the cause of white fear and white supremacy
The old "Blacks are inherently dangerous criminals meme."
Wait for it....

23. I can turn on the 11 pm news and what seems like every few days we have a drive by
shooting and multiple drug arrests.The local black community wants it stopped just as much as anyone else, they have had marches to protest the crime problem here. They arrest these guys every week and it seems like for every one they arrest there are two more to take their place. We also have a growing violent crime problem with the oil and gas workers, most of them are good people. But there are the young single guys with tons of money that let off steam when they get off. We actually had one killed with an arrow last week.
Facts. Hmmmm... wonder what scrotum, I mean scorpio will say?

28. If the police and the media ONLY focus what's going on in the black community...
And ignores what's going on elsewhere, then of course, opinions like yours become prevalent. Not to mention the fact that you've expressed nothing but utter disregard for black lives while furthering your own expressions for fear ABOUT black people.
And that's the effect that white supremacy has on our society.
Every single point that you've made in this thread has been made from one point of defending white supremacy to another. And I absolutely understand why you refuse to see it. It's because it's main purpose is to make those who defend it and benefit from it blind to it.
RACIST!!!!! LALALALALALA!!!!

33. What do they do, are they not reporting all those drive- by shootings
in the white neighborhoods? Come on I think many of these police shootings were murders but when you point a gun at a cop you get shot. I think Zimmerman should be in prison, the cop that shot the guy in the Walmart with the toy gun or the one that shot the 12 year old in Cleveland should be prosecuted. But when you resist arrest, try to take an officers gun or punch them or pull a gun on them, no.
Backpedaling or not? Moling? You decide.
MrScorpio (61,721 posts)
36. Look, you're not going to mount a convincing argument by employing cop propaganda...
It's a well known fact that law enforcement under-polices and under-reports white crime and in white neighborhoods. What did you think that the hashtag "#CrimingWhileWhite" was all about? Why do you thinking that the police employs the tactic of racial profiling against black people, even though statistically, whites are more likely to carry contraband?
Racist police policies and tactics... Has that ever occurred to you?

31. I don't want to get into an argument about the individual cases,
particularly since I would have supported indictments, but
1. Eric Garner was not shot. The police actually tried to subdue him without any weapons or, they claim, any lethal force. The extent of necessary force and Garner's health were the relevant issues, not guns.
2. It is alleged that Michael Brown reached for Wilson's sidearm, and the forensic evidence can arguably support such an allegation. Therefore, it's not technically accurate to conclusively state that he was "unarmed," as that would have been an issue for trial.
3. Tamir Rice was in possession of a replica pellet gun that would be difficult, if not impossible, to discern from a real firearm. Since the police dispatcher did not inform the officers that the firearm may be a replica, they had to act as if the gun was indeed real. Of course, that alone does not necessarily justify the officers' actions.
Facts? Damned troll!!!
MrScorpio (61,721 posts)
4. I take it that you're ONLY believing the police version of events. OK...
But that's not the ONLY version of events out there:
He was 18
He was unarmed
He was with his mother and girlfriend when he was shot @ 11:30pm last night (Dec. 23, 2014) by police
He was shot for fitting the description of a suspect
He was alive for 30 mins after he was shot
Police left his body there for 2 hours
Instead of calling for an ambulance police called for crowd control
Police wouldn’t let his mother comfort him while he laid there dying
Police planted a gun after there were pictures of there being no gun
Police body cams were off
Police dash cam was off
Police used security footage that cuts off right before the shooting
Police put his body in the back of an suv like he was something other than human
Police laughed at people grieving in the crowd

6. So you believe some bullshit on the internet and not an actual video
of the incident and the gun used. Just what would satisfy you a couple dead cops?
OUCH!!!! That is gonna leave a mark!
MrScorpio (61,721 posts)
12. So much wrong with your post here...
Would you care to take a moment and reconsider it?
baldguy (33,528 posts)
2. That's why the RW media always always portrays victims of police violence as thugs, gang-bangers
and n****rs. It's makes it easier for these "public servants" to have a callous disregard for the suffering they cause if they deprive the dead & the loved ones of the dead of their humanity.
Facts? I'm meeelting!!!

7. Wait, who's the telepsychic in this picture? Or are we supposed to be psychics?
Having had to tell family members that someone died (as a medical professional, not a cop), I'm used to seeing professionals staying detached. You keep your shit together while everyone around you is losing theirs. There's time enough to lose your shit when you're away from the public.

8. I agree with you -
it's professional detachment, no matter how distasteful, out of touch or cruel it appears.

9. Shooting an unarmed man is totally different from shooting someone aiming a gun at you.
If Martin pulled a gun out the consequences are his fault.
Police have a perfect right to shoot someone who pulls out a gun.
It's a stupid, criminal thing to do because you know you will be killed immediately after.
I'm completely sympathetic with the victims who had no weapons but completely unsympathetic with the ones who did.
I can sympathize with Martin's family also but I can't blame the cops in this instance.
Racist troll!
MrScorpio (61,721 posts)
13. Hence we see how effective a well known police tactic dropping a gun after killing the unarmed is
New tactic. Will Doc fall for it?
doc03 (15,237 posts)
16. What evidence do you have that they dropped a gun?....
No.
Scorpio tries again...

You chose not to accept it because it didn't agree with your narrative.

horrifying.

Unless, of course, they agree with the horrible stuff that's happening.
Agree with me!!!! Please?

32. Maybe they haven't gotten past what they were told as children. I don't know.
I worked for federal law enforcement briefly - it turned my stomach.

37. Because every time they have to shoot someone that happens to be black
they are not always wrong. You have a home invasion tonight who do you call?
OUCH!!!!
MrScorpio (61,721 posts)
30. So, are you saying that blacks represent an inherent threat to whites in this country? nt
Knockout game anyone? I will say it dickhead. A specific subset of the black population are inherent threats to whites in the country as well as threats to their own population. Am I racist? Whoo-dee-doo.
doc03 (15,237 posts)
34. No I am saying how many whites have been killed by the police? Zero
ten a hundred. Show me that it doesn't happen. Whites commit crimes too if you show me a cop never shots them
I agree there is a serious problem.
OUCH!!! Doc03 spanked scorpios ass with an a large paddle.
That is it for now. It has got to grow.
