Here we go again... (unarmed black teen shot by cop): Shootings in LA and MN - Page 115 - Politics and Economics

maybe using 'white America' was a little much. that being said, if anyone wants to bet that the highest paid member of Pagedale's government isn't a white male, I got 100 on it.

Of course this would not be good financially for the companies that run the prisons, so here we are.

Doubt if this really is any kind of remedy. The companies that run the prisons? There are few prisons that are run privately but not very many in the US.

Well what is rjoe's proposed policy for the Baltimore City government to handle the current situation in Baltimore? Why do you think that Baltimore police are overly militant? It surely can't be one incident, a pattern would have to exist. Maybe their is an argument that a parrern exists. Not sure. I mean there might be and yeah I know there are racist cops. I posted a link to how various police departments in the US have programs to keep racists off of their police. Maybe Baltimore isn't doing in that area, not sure.

Sure the cops should do their job in lawful and ethical ways. Apparently they are not doing so now. Shame on them. However, I think there is an obvious problem that the Baltimoe City government needs to address in regards to patching up their relationship with the police force. I don't understand why you believe the Baltimoe City government has acted intelligently and with acumen regarding their handling of the situation that has erupted over the Freddie Gray tragedy. Could you elaborate for me please?

I'd say ~10% is a bit more than not very many but that's probably just being nitty.

Maybe you can point out where I said that or should I just assume where you pulled that out of?

Between this stat and the SFPD text scandal you can draw the conclusion that the SFPD is full of racists. If the capital of tolerance can't keep racists off their police force it's obvious no police department can keep racists off the force.

Quote:

After Florida police shot Jermaine McBean to death as he walked home with an unloaded air rifle, they said there was no reason to believe he did not hear their orders to drop the weapon and that he pointed at it them.

But a newly emerged photo that shows headphones in McBean's ears immediately after the 2013 shooting raises questions about the police version of events, including why the white earbuds were later found stuffed in the dead computer expert's pocket.

Quote:

And the homicide detective who led an internal review told McBean's relatives in an email that officers on the scene "confirmed" he was not wearing a earpiece -- after the family explained that he always had them on when he was out walking. The detective said the buds were found in his pocket, with his phone, at the hospital.

Quote:

"I felt like my life was threatened. I had that feeling like if I would not go home that day," said Peraza, who has been on the force for 14 years but spent a decade of that working in the detention center.

More about this story and the overall ****ery of Florida's justice system.

Quote:

The federal agency confirmed that it opened an inquiry last month into the 2013 death of Charles Eimers, a Michigan man who died after he was stopped for an illegal lane change in Key West. Police dashboard camera videos that could have shed light on his death were erased, even while one Taser device recording captured an officer suggesting that the police should get their stories straight and another by a tourist showed a vastly different event than the one the police had initially described.

The three are among at least 385 people shot and killed by police nationwide during the first five months of this year, more than two a day, according to a Washington Post analysis. That is more than twice the rate of fatal police shootings tallied by the federal government over the past decade, a count that officials concede is incomplete.

Quote:

Among The Post’s findings:

About half the victims were white, half minority. But the demographics shifted sharply among the unarmed victims, two-thirds of whom were black or Hispanic. Overall, blacks were killed at three times the rate of whites or other minorities when adjusting by the population of the census tracts where the shootings occurred.

The vast majority of victims — more than 80 percent — were armed with potentially lethal objects, primarily guns, but also knives, machetes, revving vehicles and, in one case, a nail gun.

Forty-nine people had no weapon, while the guns wielded by 13 others turned out to be toys. In all, 16 percent were either carrying a toy or were unarmed.

Ninety-two victims — nearly a quarter of those killed — were identified by police or family members as mentally ill.

Police are authorized to use deadly force only when they fear for their lives or the lives of others. So far, just three of the 385 fatal shootings have resulted in an officer being charged with a crime — less than 1 percent.

The wapo study means the police are responsible for 7-10% of the total gun deaths in America. That we know of.

From the article:

Quote:

For the vast majority of departments, a fatal shooting is a rare event. Only 306 agencies have recorded one so far this year, and most had only one, the Post analysis shows.

Hmmm.......

Interesting choice of words like anyone that is killed by a cop has no responsibility for being killed. Deadly force is never justified, got it.

Small government conservatives, everyone. From time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of black people who talked back or ran away or had a toy gun.

Baltimore and Maryland are run by conservatives......got it.

Truth be told there is so much more white blood spilled for that tree of liberty that freed the black people than could every be spilled by black people.

The state of Maryland or city of Baltimore had little or nothing to do with Fly's or adios' posts. You're really bad at this "internet" thing, rara.

I can't understand how he is even being allowed to be a police officer. That should be grounds for instant dismissal.
