My POINT is that the story he cites WAS plastered all over the National News which he said was not the case and to address his question about why it wasn't at this point. All over the National News. These 3 weeks after the event that his initial post on the matter makes it sound like happened just yesterday...
and thousands of interactions get swept under the rug where cops have crapped all over people's rights but just have not killed them
as an aside i have a good buddy from growing up that is a defense attorney private investigator in DC (where i grew up). he makes a good living supporting defense attorneys that help some folks caught up in serious crimes (drugs, murder, etc.)...clients all pay cash.
says he sees cops take shortcuts and lie ALL the time. he wants to get out of it as sometimes he knows the folks are guilty but can often still get them off based on false information provided by police that they can prove was fabricated. he said often times the cops do something illegal to get the evidence needed to pin the crime on the guy. happens all the time. i think they justify it in their heads as they are doing the right thing but they walk all over people's rights and often dont respect the law we are PAYING them to enforce. it starts with smaller stuff IMO then they get jaded and angry and power-tripping and pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop cant stop pop some more happens.
tough job, but too many agro meatheads doing it
lol TomG...well said Sir
"Prosecutors told the court the video clearly shows that McDonald was not advancing on Van Dyke, who started firing six seconds after he got out of his squad car. The shots were fired over 14 to 15 second period. During 13 of the 15 seconds, McDonald was on the ground, prosecutors said."
Rather than addressing the problem of Black Crime the #blacklivesmatter movement devote its energies to intimidating the Police into being more lax in dealing with Black Criminals.
If they succeed, and they are, as many cops say they are more hesitant when trying to apprehend Black Criminals...due to all the Media Outcry...where would you imagine this leads?
What would you think those charged with battling Black Crime made hesitant to do their job leads to?
Answer that question....what the eventuality of a Police Force that is more lax in dealing with Black Criminals is, what that world would "look like" and you've uncovered the (partial) agenda, one the motivations behind the blacklivesmatter movement.
Not to suggest that there are not those within that group whose intentions are more Noble but overall its less rocky a road for them to attack the Police than it is for them to attempt to bring their people up, to get control of their children and other criminals within their communities.
Which is the real and actual and ongoing problem and what they should be addressing.
