Police shoot another unarmed black man

@Raiders22

 You keep talking about, "The media... The media..." When did it become in vogue to simply blame the media when hearing an opinion one doesn't like nor agree with. This has nothing to do with the media. Officers themselves often cite fear as the impetus for using deadly force. I posit that this fear is unwarranted. You yourself posted an article in which a veteran cop say they are trained to be fearful. No cop I have ever known is everyday fearful either but clearly some are. They are fearful of what's possible rather than what's plaudible. Yes, maybe every traffic stop could potentially end in a shootout. It's possible but is it plausible? No. The numbers don't support this.

And frankly, you keep making my points. "It's dangerous like a soldier." No, it's not. They are not in warzones, regardless of how violent some of or cities are. These are not insurgents. They are not soldiers nor do they receive the level of training of soldiers. Brooklyn Center isn't Fallujah. You're pushing a narrative. I'm saying the narrative is bullshit and the numbers don't support it. I guess it's maybe something you're getting from the media.

 The US government is like the big, 4-star restaurant that cracks down on the hot dog out front that is blowing them out of the water. They're like Spago. An institution. They take this for granted. Like they are too big to fail. It's where the old money eats. Leave those tasty bacon wrapped hot dogs to the fringes of society. Then all of a sudden when those old money Mayflower types start saying, "Hey, those hot dogs look pretty tasty." I mean, is Spago even open anymore? Has anyone under the age of 35 ever heard of Spago?

 YOur point seems to be the same as the media’s is why I say that?  That the cops are living in fear. 

If that is not your point I am sorry I misunderstood your point. 

My point is that they are NOT living in fear UNTIL they should be — same as the soldier. Not like the fireman, or logger, etc. where they are constantly working in danger.  Cops generally are not that unsafe.  So, I wish the folks would not make it seem like they are constantly in fear — they are not

This is not at all what I am saying.  My point is that it is the same type of fear when a gun is pointed at you or about to be pointed at you.  Not like a fireman, logger, or taxi driver.  Two different things.  It is not univocal usage of the word to me. 

Nah. I think media just pushing any anti-,defunding-police movement they can.  I don’t buy into much of their stuff on this.

North Carolina deputy fatally shoots Black man
Andrew Brown Jr. was unarmed and fleeing
when fatally shot by police

April 22

excellent points

USA TODAY, April 22

North Carolina officials on Thursday faced growing pressure to release body camera
footage of the death of Andrew Brown Jr., a Black man who was fatally shot by law
enforcement on Wednesday morning in Elizabeth City.

Brown was unarmed, said Harry Daniels, the Brown family's attorney.
Witness accounts paint a picture of an "unlawful, unjustified killing" in which
multiple law enforcement officers shot as Brown fled the scene

So I guess the cops should have let him flee the scene & possibly put other citizens in danger as they chased the convicted felon through the streets?

Or maybe just let him go & find him some other day?

Or maybe they should have shot out his tires so he couldn't go anywhere?

A judge should approve the release of the video ASAP or the pot will continue to boil.

Yeah, good points!

And a tough one to call.

But they do have radios, chase procedures, and ability to VERY QUICKLY set up roadblocks to effect a recapture.

The other side of the argument is that should police shoot-to-kill any and every "suspect" who flees?

Fleeing should never be a death sentence.

Hasher punishment perhaps, but not a death sentence.

reports say this black man was being served a search warrant

Wonder how it is he wasn’t shot and killed?  Can only assume Cops weren’t white as it wasn’t mentioned.

  Division by media.

In 2018 current Minnesota AG Keith Ellison won his election by 4%.

His GOP competitor in that race was Doug Wardlow who promised to fire 42 Democratic attorneys right off the bat. Wardlow is currently general counsel for My Pillow.

Imagine if he not Ellison were AG for the George Floyd case.

Don't worry about it we got cops killing cops now.  Sit back and let it happen ...

Cops should be scared to death.

White cops are now being shot by black cops

Because only black lives matter . 

Because in reality only rich people matter and steeple beg to be accepted by them

Unarmed black man shot
by deputy who gave him a ride home

An attorney for Isaiah Brown, 32, said his client was shot while on the phone with 911
after the deputy -- who had returned to respond to a "domestic incident," per state police
-- mistook a cell phone for a gun.

Brown was taken to a local hospital after the shooting early Wednesday with serious
but non-life-threatening injuries

The shooting took place after a Spotsylvania County Sheriff's deputy responded to
a call about a "disabled motorist" and gave Brown a ride home from a gas station,
state police said.

it just never ends

no doubt rightwing cop partisans will say the shooting was justified

Attorney for Andrew Brown Jr.'s family
says video of fatal police shooting shows 'execution'

Andrew Brown Jr., 42, was fatally shot by Pasquotank County sheriff's deputies
in Elizabeth City on Wednesday when they attempted to serve him with a search
warrant, the sheriff's office said.

On Monday afternoon, after an earlier delay, Pasquotank County Attorney Michael Cox
showed Brown's family and attorneys a short clip from one deputy's body camera that
family attorney Chantel Cherry-Lassiter said showed an "execution."

Cherry-Lassiter said the video was 20 seconds long and shows 
deputies shot at Brown as he sat in his vehicle with his hands on the steering wheel.
"He wasn't reaching for anything, he wasn't touching anything,
he wasn't throwing anything around," she said. Both hands were on the steering wheel.

Saw that I am sure they will find we perceived immunity that this was justified as well. In the mean time burn every black buisness in the ghetto  i guess ghetto has become politically incorrect so inner city accepted?

that learn em.

Same ole same ole

incredible             with all that is already going on       police execute a suspect  ,who is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law

Same ole same ole.

Police can kill with percieved immunity for any cause they can say I thought he had a gun and walk away.

If the footage cleared police it would be released in its entirety immediately but dirty cops playing by their own rules. 

Well that footage is never being released unedited. A 20 min standoff from 7 body cameras is reduced to 20 sec clip authorized to viewed by the public.
