Video in link.
So, why even have tasers? Aren't they meant for literally this situation?
If Wallace was in his right mind (not a guarantee), it was absolutely idiotic for him to approach law enforcement with a knife.
At the same time, I wish law enforcement stopped him without killing him. |
Firing 10+ illustrates no intent to capture. 10 feet is taser range. There's a common denominator, race. Unfortunately, because Wallace had a weapon nothing will happen to the officers. Victim blaming. None of the officers that discharged their weapons were Black? |
you can't be serious. |
Very serious. I will not engage with a troll. Have to add, though feeling I may be reprimanded, A racist troll." Have a nice day.

It's a damn shame. Why people won't believe Blacks are treated differently by LEO is unfathomable. A Black man would have been shot immediately. Not once, not twice, not three times, at least 10 times.

| Quote: | Authorities in Ohio have identified a long-time Franklin County Sheriff's deputy as the law enforcement officer who shot and killed a Black man in Columbus last Friday.
Reporter Paige Pfleger of member station WOSU reported Monday that Goodson's concealed carry license was current, according to documentation provided by family attorneys.
My brother literally walked across the yard, walked into the back fence to get to the side door, had his subway [sandwich] and mask in one hand keys in the other, UNLOCKED AND OPENED THE DOOR and stepped in the house before" he was shot, Harper wrote.
In a statement, Walton + Brown, the law firm representing Goodson's family, said the shooting was witnessed by Goodson's 72-year-old grandmother and two toddlers. The firm said Goodson was returning home from a dentist appointment.
"Everything about him was about abiding by the law and in terms of having a gun, he was licensed to do so,"
Heather Johnson, a friend of the Goodson family, who also spoke with The Columbus Dispatch, said he had no criminal history and described him as a family man.
"Casey was 23 years old, he never had any type of crimes. He was good, he worked at the Gap, he loved his family," Johnson told the paper. "He just enjoyed being a big brother and enjoyed being with his family, he loved them very much." |

The storming of the Capital is a blatant example of a double standard being applied. If the stormers had been people of color there would have been blood.

Cameron's a Republican. This petition will be handled by Republicans. Something not in his favor, he's Black.
Three Breonna Taylor grand jurors file petition to impeach Attorney General Daniel Cameron
LINK
| Quote: | | Even though Glogower said he and the jurors discussed the long odds of success the petition may have, he said the process will give them another chance to speak publicly about the Taylor deliberations. |
| Quote: | House Speaker David Osborne said in a statement that he will "reserve further comment until our attorneys review it and the committee on committees has an opportunity to act."
That panel has jurisdiction over referring the petitions to the impeachment committee. |

Not much has changed. Handcuffed facedown for 2 hours on concrete. Report the car was stolen is the oldest BS reason on the planet. It's been used since the days of Wyatt Earp. Enter Benjamin Crump.

I believe this is something that is deep rooted in our psychology. Even black people will be more cautious around darker complexions. I've seen it, felt it, and had it explained to me various times. Evil is dark, good is light, "light beings", "dark entities", polarity in itself.
With these terms and beliefs of course it is believable. I think even a "lighter" complected black cop would be more inclined to use excessive force against a darker complected suspect.
My best friend is half black and white. He grew up fearful of his father. His father was dark as night. His father never harmed him, but he did abuse his older brothers and his mother, he was the baby.
He abused drugs terribly and died long before his time. Actually left his son a huge pension because he did work his butt off.
My friend tells me all the time how he was a "BIG, BlACK, SCARY MF**"... In his own words.
I do just want to be real about something though we are different. Everyone is, I know we like to say we are all the same, but we are not. There is major differences in race biology. I don't think it is as easy as we try to make it out to be. We can falsley advertise interracial couples on every tv station, radio etc when the fact of the matter is predominantly most of the world population dates within their race. We like to promote the lesser of society and are starting to neglect the dominant's wants and needs. A homosexual brain is not having the same thoughts as a heterosexual. We just need more balance with everything.
This is why I dislike when people intertwine race and sexual preference, ya'll not in the same boat lol. There are tons of openly gay people in power compared to the population. I mean it's known Hollywood is owned by homosexuals. And that's okay, I'm not butt hurt about it...no pun intended lol.
But in the aspect of say black people are most of the population and with how many people are in power, there is something not right there.
I'm just trying not to take life too seriously, and to see things from as many perspectives as possible. Could go on for days.... didn't mean to be offensive. |

That bloviated soliloquy on psychology is suspect and it doesn't answer the question DMR's post asked. Is this an opinion? If not show documentation. I call BS. | Quote: | | What's the life expectancy (in nano seconds) of this guy if he wasn't white . . .? |
Cops shoot Black people quicker than they do White people.
Side note: Though it hasn't risen to the same level the attack on Asian Americans has me concerned. I blame this on the Trump administration for blaming and renaming the pandemic on China.

Newly released body camera footage shows two Maryland police officers handcuffing and berating a 5-year-old boy who had allegedly left school without permission.
The Montgomery County Police Department released the video on Friday. It was recorded in January 2020 and contains disturbing content.
"I watched in horror as what can only be described as a nightmare unfolded for nearly an hour," Montgomery County Council member Will Jawando said in a tweeted statement. "It made me sick."
The video begins after police find the boy, who is not identified, on what appears to be a residential street in southern Maryland near the Washington border.
" | Quote: | Listen to me. How old are?" an unidentified officer asks the boy.
"Five," the child responds.
"Five? You feel like you can make your own decisions?" the police officer asks. "You feel like you can do what you want?"
The child becomes agitated shortly after and begins to cry and scream. Police walk the boy to the back of the patrol car and the yelling continues.
"You better stop," police say to the boy.
As the 50-minute video unfolds, the interactions between law enforcement officers and the child escalate. The boy sobs and appears inconsolable as officers repeatedly tell him that he is "bad" and should be beaten. |

I know why the subject heading was changed to Jacob Blake, but given that the trial of Chauvin is now in progress, maybe the mods can change the heading back to George Floyd since his murder was the one that inspired the thread?

As much as we have a problem with systemic racism and mistreating non-white people, we also have a problem in our society with mistreating kids.
Even in 2021, there are still many people who believe that corporal punishment is the best way to discipline kids. As bad as spanking is, I don't even mean that, I'm talking more about actually hitting kids or beating them up.
Just about any competent child psychologist will tell you that corporal punishment, whether it's mere spanking or violently hitting kids, doesn't work and really harms the kid long-term. It's straight up child abuse.
And I haven't even mentioned emotional child abuse, which can constitute things like telling a child that he/she is "bad", an "animal", "stupid," etc.

Not siding with pepper spraying. IMO Lieutenant Nazario could have avoided being sprayed if he'd done what he was asked in the beginning.
I understand why he didn't stop in a dark secluded area. When he did reach the gas station when asked to get out of the car, he should have.
The tone of the police officers is what they do. Training in that area should be addressed.
