Here we go again... (unarmed black teen shot by cop): Shootings in LA and MN - Page 213 - Politics and Economics

Why don't you become a police officer then and start changing your community instead of ranting on an Internet forum all day long solving absolutely nothing?

Police culture is set up to make sure anyone that comes in and tries change the system gets railroaded off the force. Speaking out against this type of violence from the inside will ruin your career in a heartbeat. Get with the program or get out.

You don't want those things changed, though, right?

It's like how Retzes doesn't know what it's like to be president so he would never criticise obama.

LOL man, they cannot help themselves

Dude, listen. When I want activism tips, I go to people who give a ****. You're a ****ing racist hayseed Trump voter who thinks the big issue here is internet leftists being unfair to cops by not pointing out all the blacks they didn't shoot.

Shut the **** up.

60 people shot in Chicago over the 4th. Guess we would need video of those to be upset though? Let's instead focus on a few isolated cases each year

Police who are supposed to be highly trained professionals shooting someone who is no threat is 100x more serious than citizens shooting someone

Does that make the 2000 shootings in Chicago this year 20x more important then?

It's not like "every day life" because it's some *******s attempting to make a point. You're not going to see guys carrying around assault rifles like it's commonplace. It it disturbingly legal though.

Does it really matter who is shooting innocent people?

We also have no idea what happened prior to the shooting in Minnesota. You would think people would learn after Michael brown that things aren't always how they originally appear

What happens when a regular person shoots an innocent?

What happens when a cop does?

Yes, especially when certain shooters have special authority granted by the state and tend to get away with cold blooded murder.

that facebook video from the incident in minnesota is so tragic, and so infuriating. just WTF, dude is laying there dying and he's pointing down the sights at him screaming at the girl and they get her out of the car at gunpoint and restrain her

there are just no words for this
