Of course nowadays Google search is way more sophisticated than that and the search will also find millions of pages that include similar phrases like world war two, world war II, and second world war. What has more hits on a Google search is an absurd metric to use to make the argument in the first place but using a specific phrase in quotes makes it even more useless.

Just a shame there is no bodycam from initial contact to the end. What's he doing out of his car for a speeding ticket?
I'm sure it will be ruled as justified since the perp didn't play Simon says perfectly as Cupee likes to say
Because dealing with jackasses is only a part of their job? That dude was being an a-hole from the beginning--his own dumb behavior got him in that scenario. Once you're pulled over and yanked out of the vehicle disobeying the cop(that's essentially what they are) and challenging him to pull his pistol/combined with other sketchy behavior is a horrid idea. I'm not saying I think the dude deserved to die--but he was clearly in the wrong pretty much every step of the way.

Had he not been a complete idiot he'd almost certainly still be alive.

Not equal but not 1/15800 as much either.

I get 25.2 billion - and it's identical with and without a private browser window; even behind VPNs based in other countries.

And making the objectively false statement that the search results would include every site with a 2 in it is not hyperbole in any way, shape or form.

Phoenix police kill a man in a parked car, sparking protests

Quote:
“Hey, stop f------ moving. I will f------ shoot you,” one officer standing near the driver’s window yelled at the car’s lone occupant. Bystanders watching the tense scene unfold from across the street repeatedly shouted, “Don’t shoot him!”

Seconds later, a cracking sound could be heard, followed by a sharp exclamation. There was a brief silence. Then, deafening bangs — roughly 10 — rang out in quick succession.
Quote:
“At this point, he refused, instead rolling up his window and arming himself with a handgun,” the department said, alleging that the man ignored commands from officers to put down the gun and started to lift the weapon.

After one of the officers “saw the gun pointed at a fellow officer,” the confrontation swiftly escalated, police said. An officer broke the passenger window in an attempt to distract the man while two others fired into the car.
Quote:
The video of the shooting, which was taken from a distance, did not capture the man’s actions, though a number of people have insisted he was sleeping or unarmed.

I am fearful this is another case like that one where the guy fell asleep in the car with a gun on the passenger seat, and cops surrounded him, woke him and starting shouting demands to not move and comply and they executed him the minute he did move.

That was 100% predictable.

Someone suddenly awakened from deep sleep,would take a moment to gain their bearings and even recognize what was going on, and who was shouting orders and reacting to precise instructions is not going to happen.

I hope this guy was not startled awake and also started moving or even reaching for his gun or knife and they shot him.

Same. I don't think the public distrust of cops in situations like this gets better until there's a history of transparency.

Phoenix PD released bodycam footage showing a gun being retrieved from the car after the shooting, but doesn't show the shooting or what led to it.

wtf ?
I know this was many days back but the thing I most noted was the guy was absolutely terrified when the lady and girl were yelling at him. It is pretty obvious to me his terror was born out of the fact he is racist to the core and thinks black people are animals.

He did not bear the look and posturing of someone just being yelled at... he was absolutely afraid for his life. That fear was wholly born out of racism.

Anyone who has ever had any gun safety training knows that was a completely unacceptable situation to draw a firearm. If someone else walking by had a concealed carried license they would have been justified in killing her.

Back to the racist terror. They almost certainly never had any meaningful relationships with blacks people in their life and had a life where the bad news of black people was regularly reinforced.

Unfortunately for them someone else being black is not justification for fearing for your life, like these two were. Seriously I implore people to go back and watch it just to see the very short segment with the white male. He is racked with pure, unadulterated fear. Fear because two black women were yelling. I would not be the least bit surprised if he wet himself.

I would be extremely empathetic if there were anything to fear except them being black.

It’s cool ins0 thinks if someone stands behind your car and slaps it that you can get out of the car and draw a gun on them, lol.

It's just ******ed to pull a gun out period. Nothing but bad things happen when guns are brandished.
One of these dumb white people playing Rambo are going to end up shooting a black person and all hell is going to break loose.

Are you playing a character where you try to make liberals look as insane as possible or are you being serious?

Black Indiana activist attacked by a mob of white people accusing him of trespassing in "attempted lynching"

Quote:
Indiana authorities said Monday they are investigating a reported racist attack on a Bloomington black man, who said a group of white men pinned him to a tree, beat him and threatened to “get a noose” after accusing him and a friend of trespassing on private property on July 4.

Vauhxx Booker, a member of the Monroe County Human Rights Commission, shared partial video footage of the incident near Bloomington, Ind., in a viral post on Facebook on Sunday. The footage showed a man, apparently Booker, on all fours at the base of the tree, held down by a white man. Others off-camera yell, “Stop! Let him go!”

Booker said in the post he suffered a mild concussion and bruises, had patches of his hair pulled out, and had been called “choice slurs” during the beating.
Quote:
“Please let him go,” one man says to the group surrounding Booker.

“We’re going to, as soon as you go,” a white woman in the group responds.

A shirtless man tries swatting the camera out of the hands of the man filming, yelling expletives about “liberals."
The video's really creepy. These white people are holding him against a tree, as bystanders tell them to let him go and the mob responds "no YOU go".

This sparked protests in Bloomington, which naturally ended with someone doing their best James Fields impression

Quote:
The protest was peaceful but turned frightening as it wrapped up, when a speeding car plowed into at least one protester, according to a spokesman for the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. The spokesman referred comment on the incident to the Bloomington Police Department, which said late Monday it had no additional information to release.
...
Then, the driver hit the gas, striking a woman who then clung to the windshield, Poer said. Another man appeared to be clinging to the side of the car as it sped away.

“The car went 0 to 50 in about three seconds,” Poer said.

The woman was thrown from the windshield a couple of blocks later, Poer said. The protest organizers tended to the woman, whom Poer saw lay bleeding on the ground. He said the man who had apparently been clinging to the side of the car appeared to be okay. The condition of the protesters was not immediately clear.

I think maybe that's referring to the white people who saw this going down and made the attackers let him go

he sounded sarcastic. was he "shaming" the white friends?

it just seems so bizarre. very disturbing video. i was wondering if it actually makes sense to someone around here.

07-08-2020 , 02:16 AM
Yeah, same reaction here. Doesn't make sense to me, maybe he's trying to shame the guy for being saved by white people? Like, your life doesn't matter, you needed our people to get you out of this? idk, very creepy.

Those folks are clearly white supremist, probably of the KKK variety, and he was implicating five people were "race traitors".

Corpus vile is still consistent, he is still visiting black people got killed threads, saying "those poor white people."

Thankfully corpus vile got marginalized when most of his foolishness got throw in a containment thread that rolled away to oblivion.
