Are we talking about people with no arms, or legs, or knees, or elbows, or teeth? Do they weigh 300 lbs?

All of those can be considered a weapon.

Yes, unarmed means that they were missing both arms :lamo

Ah, so having 2 arms implies a credible threat to someone armed w/weapons.

Why does anyone w/2 arms need a gun when they easily punch away someone else's gun? :lamo :lamo

Several of these people were carrying toy guns which look incredibly similar to real firearms and refused to obey police orders to put it down.

Refusing to obey police orders seems like a trend with almost all of these deaths.

So if a cop orders someone to smile, and he doesn't, the cop is justified in shooting him.

Right wing "logic" strikes again :rolleyes:

Explain to us all how 300 lbs. of arms and legs poses a credible threat to someone armed w/guns, nightsticks, and tasers.

Ah, truthful case evidence from police depts...

A New Jersey Crime Lab technician was suspended with pay, after he was found writing down results of suspected marijuana, before the tests were even completed, throwing 7,827 criminal cases into doubt, damaging confidence in the workings of that state’s criminal justice system.

Read up on the effects of bath salts or PCP...maybe check out how humans can kill using said body parts.

Ahhh, don't you love it when "news" sites use misleading and untrue headlines? Just like when Trayvon Martin was killed, the media said he was killed simply because he had a hoodie on.

The police were called by the towing company employees because the man was yelling and people were uncomfortable that he might do something to harm them. We don't know what happened after that - it's under investigation. If, indeed, they shot him simply because he was yelling, that's murder. But I'm going to bet there's more to the story. The sheriff said he was brandishing a firearm. Please follow the story and let us know what happens.

Seriously?

Thanks for embarrassing the tail end of Generation X.


Posting crap drivel (like this video) does absolutely *nothing* to help your cause. It actually does the exact opposite. The jerk that shot the Dallas police certainly didn't win anyone over.

What's with the self-sabotage? That's exactly what it is.

Many people of all colors see the need for LEO training & reform. It's a problem that is quite real. But if "obnoxious" is how you proceed, you turn off *a lot* of support for your cause. Pardon the expression, but the tactics here are, IMO, akin to shooting oneself in the foot.

While we are on the subject, I am genuinely curious...


"Black folks can't be racist."


Why?

Have you ever been to Africa? In real life??


Yes, they can be racist...

Any group in a *minority* can experience racism. And "minority" encompasses so much more than skin color.

If you've never travelled to Africa, I suggest you do. The vast majority look at "African Americans" and scratch their heads. Any one of them would fight tooth & nail for the opportunity here.

"Cultural appropriation, safe spaces, micro-aggressions?"

Really?

I'm about as lily white Irish as they come. I actually *lived* in Africa, went to high school there. But now, wearing my babouches, hanging art in my home that I got in the Medina, listening to certain kinds of music... is cultural appropriation?

So, people can criticize me because I'm white & have adopted certain customs, dress, etc after living there, but someone that's never crossed "the Pond" (or the Mississippi River, for that matter) can appropriate said "culture" because *of the color of their skin.*

What a joke. :roll:
