cops definitely kill people unjustly I’m not disputing that. what I’m saying is the vast majority of the time cops kill someone it’s because they don’t comply with orders or they resisted arrest.

how do they do it then? tell me about it.

“here’s a detailed explanation of why economic disparity causes people to commit violent crimes.”

I’m not asking you to make the good food. I’m asking you to point me to the restaurant that makes the good food.

again provide that third solution. put your money where your mouth is. what else could the cop do to get the drunk guy out of the car? how would you personally handle that situation? how would you police that guy in your perfect world?

like I said it’s different from state to state but the point remains that you have to identify yourself to police. if you don’t you will be detained until they can identify you.

if you’re warned that if you jump off a cliff you’ll die and you still do it and die as a result then I’m definitely gonna blame you for killing yourself.

white people still make up the majority of people killed or shot by cops because white people make up the majority of the country. but it doesn’t make the news like black people getting shot by police.

police can only de-escalate situations if people follow their orders.

then offer a solution.

maybe that’s because people in other countries actually comply with their police officers and don’t resist arrest? I don’t doubt that there’s systemic racism in the police, I’m not arguing about that. but at the same time most instances of cops killing people can also be linked directly back to the person they’re…

no knock warrants are always bad full stop. I’m not talking about that though. if you’re in your car and get pulled over by a cop or walking around in public and you’re approached by a cop answer all their questions and do everything they tell you to. if you don’t then they will detain you and if you resist you’ll…

he also argued with the cops and resisted arrest. if he had answered all of their questions and followed all of their commands he would have lived. that cop definitely murdered him but he wouldn’t have died if he hadn’t resisted arrest.

both the cop and Castile fucked up in that situation. the way this works is as follows.

I’m not sure how you expected the cops to handle the situation. The cops suspected that the driver was intoxicated. The cops needed him to exit the vehicle for a sobriety test. He refused. Should they have just given up and said “okay, you win, go ahead and drive home?” If you think letting drunk drivers back on to…

the ability to call for back-up

I’m not sure how the cop’s history or false claims on the police report changes the fact that Floyd refused to get into the police vehicle. That was clearly shown in the body cam footage and the reason why he was restrained on the ground.

a few minutes later a cop car pulled up and an officer got out and told me she could immediately tell I wasn’t the person they were looking for, but she wanted to know if I had ID on me, and I just SAW that her hand was on her waist near her gun and, like, mentally broke.

It would be interesting to see the statistics about this. Of the suspects that ignored police commands, physically resisted arrest and were killed as a result, what percentage were black vs white? Is it actually true that cops are more likely to kill PoC that resist arrest?

If the suspect complies with police commands and doesn’t put up any physical resistance, the cops don’t feel any need to exert force beyond handcuffing him and putting him in a cop car. When you don’t comply with police commands and physically resist arrest, your chances of being killed by cops rises significantly,…
