Look here, the suspect is about 4 feet from the officer when he points the gun at him. DON'T ****ing dare tell me the officer doesn't have a right to protect his life! That is someone's possible husband, brother, son, father. Why does he deserve to die and leave his family? The thug is not going to shoot him in the legs. **** outta here with that nonsense.
It's disgusting how pretty much EVERY ****ing report of white cop(s) v black man tries to insinuate that the black man is guilty until proven innocent. Even if some white men are unjustly treated this way, I bet you they're alive to go through it.
I'm not saying this particular suspect was innocent, clearly he wasn't. But even before evidence was released, it went the same way every other case like this goes and it's not right. It just gives police more leverage to manipulate the situation.
I'm usually quick to speak out in cases like Eric Garner and Mike Brown and even Tamir Rice, but this is nothing like any of those incidents. This cop had the right to protect his own life from someone who was ACTUALLY a real threat with a real gun.
I'd rather the police officer shoot him than that guy who is a criminal shoot the police officer.. I don't get what's so hard to understand? you don't point a gun at a police officer. their job is not easy at all. they are train to kill for a reason. they are putting their life on the line, of course they are gonna be shoot someone when he is pointing a gun at them. think ppl think. this is not about racism . don't trivialize those who are actually killed due to racist pigs in uniforms ..
So everytime a black person dies, people are going to claim it's injustice and racism that drove that person to be shot? Give me a break. This is why people are so unwilling to stand by these movements. People don't think logically. All they hear is "Black teen shot by white cops" and go off before getting ANY facts about the incident.
A white cop HAS THE RIGHT to shoot ANYONE who raises a gun at them and no black person is an exception. This ****ing ******** is so annoying. NOT EVERYONE IS RACIST. NOT everyone is out to kill black people. People need to stop insinuating that this is the case. You guys instantly blame white people for literally everything, and then complain if white people don't jump on board with your cause.
"Of course that white person won't. It's because they're privileged and don't want to see anyone get above them." Like no, it's because you petty people can't stop blaming them for EVERYTHING.
I'm not even white, but the way so many black people (including much of my family) are constantly blaming white people for everything is disgusting and doesn't help a damn thing.
