Ego. Fame. Money.

When you are wrong in life, you have a couple of choices. You can sit down, shut up, and listen to people who know what they are talking about. Or you can act the fool, attack everyone around you, and blame the world.

1. BLM never screamed for blood. If you think that, then you really have fallen for the agitprop pushed by the forces that oppose them.

If knowing the truth and seeing the numbers will drive away allies, those aren’t allies to begin with.

Same as it ever was... some White folks just melt down when seeing a black man in an army uniform. To them only White people can ever really serve, and these same folks pat themselves on the back for “supporting the troops”.

“You aren’t going to persuade me.”

So your preference would be to allow the teen to stab away, and hope that she doesn’t hit a vital artery or vein, heart, neck, etc? Sorry Officer, but can you wait and see how hard she stabs her intended target before using lethal force to stop her?

My second cousin died after being stabbed by a 18 year old girl who was half his size after an argument over another girl. He was a large guy, basketball player, if you saw him before his demise you would have thought it would take a tank to knock him over.

Yeah... well... that’s like... your opinion man.

Why did Bryant have a knife? Was she acting in self defense?

I agree that police should be more heavily trained on non-lethal alternatives, and clearly they use lethal force too often.

So because you know an officer that never had to kill someone in the line of duty, this cop is a dyed in the wool racist cop?

Yeah this one has us divided for real, and I think a lot of it has to do with a narrative that a lot of us can fall into if we aren’t careful. It’s easy to push this into a “racist cop” narrative that fits how we feel about police in general right now. But...

None of that has anything to do with the moment of the arrival of the officer.

I see why the officer fired, he had a split second to decide and the young woman was in the process of attacking someone with a lethal weapon. I’m not chanting her name, I’m not marching for someone who attempted to shove a massive kitchen knife into someone else. Let me repeat this... She died as a consequence of her…

Some movies better or at least interesting in black and white? Inception, Good Fellas, Lincoln, Alien.

Black Principal - Asks very kindly for people to not wear or use the confederate flag (a flag that symbolizes for many americans hate, slavery, and the abhorrent oppression of other people) on school grounds after explaining why and being very diplomatic and overly respectful while doing so.

I just... I don’t know what to do with that information. It’s like learning that the world is being held in the hands of a toddler. Troubling, but difficult to wrap your head around.
