Over a broken taillight for fuck's sake.

Is that the one in Minnesota?

Someone needs to stop telling these brothers to arm themselves just in case the government gets out of control. It only works out well for white people carrying semi autos.

Yeah, it's the one in Minnesota. He told the cop the had a license to carry, told the cop he was reaching for his ID, and he was still shot.

"Upon review, we found the officer was justified in killing a man for following the law and instructions precisely and will not be charged."

The Counted: people killed by police in the United States

The second video of the death of Alton is really brutal. Blood spilling out of his chest, it's tough to watch. If it's true that he pointed a weapon at someone before the altercation with cops, I can't say I feel all that bad. No one should wave their weapon around and threaten another person with it. It's a tragedy either way, and perhaps the cops could've avoided killing him, and if it comes out that he indeed didn't have a weapon, those cops should go to jail. No question.

They won't though, let's face it.

To think that I had a good amount of people tell me that I shouldn't go to Europe because it's dangerous. I laughed right in their face and two of them told me I was being unreasonable. Bomb goes off and 30 people die and buildings all over the world change the colors of their lights. 561 people are killed by US police and nothing is done.

Great thing we're either going to have a racist buffoon or a lying scheming c*nt for a president soon.

Also, the thing that scares me the most about the Minnesota footage is how TERRIFIED that police officer was. To me, this is a bigger problem than racism. Police officers are being trained to perceive EVERY traffic stop as potential life or death situation. Every time an officer is shot, the snowball just gets bigger and more and more police get absolutely scared to death of getting shot in the face during a stop. That is the same mentality as the people telling me I shouldn't be going to Europe because two bad things happened. Police need to start realizing that their JOB is to put their lives before the lives of citizens. Not the other way around. Afraid of being shot in the face? Don't become a cop. This Minnesota officer just murdered a person because he expected him to shoot him as soon as he said he was carrying.

If carrying a licensed firearm is legal in this country, which is something a lot of Americans fight for, then police need to start reacting to this fact instead of sh*tting their pants and blowing some guys head off because of the fear of getting shot.

Nothing will change though. The fact that the gun was there means this cop will get off clean. I hope that body cam was rolling but it's probably going to come back "damaged".

Agreed, I tried to make this point and was lambasted because "multiple issues happen at the same time". Obviously. Who's denying that? It's a political distraction, and people lose their lives over nothing. There's absolutely no press for the thousands that die each year, from cops and themselves. But if a cop is killed the media explodes and politicians are quick to suck the polices dicks. Prioritize these situations and then worry about the other threats. Or be consistent with all these issues at the same time.
