"Would you be making this post in outrage if the man had size 11 feet or sticky out ears?" only if the person with size 11 feet and sticky out ears was stopping drivers, then climbing on top of the vehicle and jumping on the roof whilst others kicked the hell out of the car. . Imagine if that was your terrified daughter inside the car. . If you go to BBC news or google - State of emergency for Charlotte you can read for yourselves and see in photographs what these Black Americans are doing. its an utter disgrace | |||

Just don't understand why you need to point out they are black. That behaviour is unacceptable what ever their ethnicity. | |||

anyway..... onwards and upwards....
to be able to solve a problem first of all you have to be able to acknowledge the problem....
if people like the op don't acknowledge the problem.... its not worth having the conversation with them.... they are the people who like to put thier fingers in their ears and scream "la la la, i'm not listening"
you can at the end of the day only help the people who want to be helped.....
also at the end of the day people like the OP will be a footnote to the history the rest of us make by progressing with the conversation.... if they have to dragged on by the civilised majority on both sides... so be it!!
they aren't a big enough barrier to stop the rest of us from making progress........ | |||

Having a firearm on your person is not a reason for death and a cop is neither a judge nor a jury. Cops need to realize this. They don't decide guilt, they aren't executioners, and this isn't some war where they are on the front lines. It's happens plenty often that white guys with guns refuse to relinquish them. There was a whole open carry movement where mostly white people walked all over the place with visible weapons. I never heard of one police killing in those instances. We need to get this notion out of our heads that the simple act of not listening to a police officer means you deserve to die. Not listening to a police officer is cause for resissting arrest charges, not the death penalty. | |||

But going back to your question...YES i think America has a huge problem with racists....but a much bigger problem with gun laws. It wasnt that long ago...that these people were stringing up blacks...putting burning tyres around them etc etc...and this has happened in my lifetime. I have a friend who lives in Colorado...shes vehemently anti gun...last year she sent me a cutting from a newspaper from the deep south ie some of the most racists states in America...and it went like this. A young girl asked a guy to accompany her to her prom night...the father of the girl shot this young man dead..... you wanna know why. He was black!!!! | |||

"Remember the person is holding a loaded handgun and has to be approached A person shot in the leg, or arm or clipped can still shoot and kill you have to ask yourself, why the person did not follow police orders in the first place, why the person is still holding onto the firearm, and anyone who owns a firearm in that situation knows fully the police will shoot to kill, if they continue to keep hold of the gun.

Remember the person is holding a loaded handgun and has to be approached

you have to ask yourself, why the person did not follow police orders in the first place, why the person is still holding onto the firearm, and anyone who owns a firearm in that situation knows fully the police will shoot to kill, if they continue to keep hold of the gun.
So again, if they do not follow the orders of the police, they deserve the next action coming to them". Of course they can still fire of a shot after they've been shot in the leg, it's called a risk assessment made at short notice, is the person contained, does he pose a general threat to the public, have I got something to cover behind, could we shoot and detain the individual with less risk to themselves. | |||

"you evaded answering the question, so I will ask you again; Are you saying its okay for African American mobs to protest by stopping vehicles, kick the shit out of vehicles and jump on the roofs as you can clearly see in the press photographs!! If that is what you consider a solution then you sure as hell are indeed part of the problem " Can I turn your question on it's head? Do you consider it is all right for US police to be so unaccountable when it comes to violence against black and brown people that whole sections of US society feel they have no recourse but the use of violent civil unrest to force change? "Maybe shoot to disarm or injure, not shoot to kill? " When firearms are used, especially pistols and other short barrelled weapons which by nature of their short barrels are inaccurate, the shots fired must be aimed at the largest centre of mass exposed in order to reduce the danger of hitting bystanders. Therefore shooting to injure or incapacitate is a non starter. That is why tasers and non lethal beanbag and plastic rounds are in continual development. | |||

"Yes; it's a well known shot; at 30 yards ; in a situation where the marksman had a very long time to work out; with a static target ( who was already spaced out or d*unk. ) even then, an inch off, it would have taken the guys leg off. If you knew anything about shooting; you would know that the idea of " shoot to wound" "shoot to disable" or " disarm" is complete nonsense. If you shoot at anyone; you shoot to get the most effective hit. On the body. Which means, you are doing it it the knowledge that you will probably kill. Every police, or military shooting course explains this clearly. There is no "halfway ". If you shoot someone, you are making an assumption that there is a very high probability that they will die. There are so called " non lethal weapons" eg tasers, stun rounds, baton rounds; they are actually misnamed, as they are not actually " non-lethal" as they can kill. And do, frequently. But are designed to be " probably non lethal". | |||

"It would probably help if the police released the dash cam footage that they have... this..... the reason why there hasn't been the reaction in tulsa, as there is in charlotte... is that the police in tulsa have been proactive and released the cam footage... both the dashcam footage and the helicopter footage (and the helicopter commentary which is as bad) we know at least some of the police people in the charlotte incident were wearing vest camera's...... they had declined to release any... we know the story they are peddling... if that is the case they there is nothing to fear by releasing the footage to cooberate their line.... the OP is classic at this... he has lots and lots of form at this type of trolling..... and is in essence actually a classic part of the problem by refusing to believe there is an underlying issue...... oh.. race issues.. nah...nothing to see here.... it doesn't exist!!! i don't know whether to believe his head is buried in the said... or buried in a certain orifice...
sorry... me being facetious!
the only hope i have is that others don't have the same opinion as the op, because if thats the case nothing can be done....
the solutions will come "inspite" of the OP, rather than "because" of the OP
if you ain't part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.... I know which side i am on!"you had plenty comments on this thread until you were asked one question then you disappeared into hiding, so I will ask you one more time Are you saying its okay for African American mobs (claiming black lives matter) to protest by stopping vehicles, kick the shit out of vehicles and jump on the roofs as you can clearly see in the press photographs!! If that is what you consider a solution; then you sure as hell are indeed part of the problem still waiting on your reply. | |||

but i'll answer your question...
IF the people side is what the police say that it, and it is that clear cut and dried... then as someone else said "all they have to do is release the vest cam footage".....
if is as a clear cut as that, then no one has a reason to go out on the streets..... that would completely difuse the situation
as I said before, and again your selective amnesia kicked in, the difference between the aftermath of what happened in charlotte, and what happened in Tulsa (and i notice that you decided to completely ignore that) is that the tulsa police department have been in front of the incident and released all the footage they have
but as i said, since you dont believe there are any issues, there is really no point having a conversation with you, because you are doing a whole lot of scream and not much listening.... | |||

And while the victim in that instance was unarmed, the police chief was pretty straight forward about saying that the officer escalated force when she shouldn't have and that not listening to police orders is not a reason to open fire. I find that pertinent to the conversation. | |||

" come on hand in hand surely your better than trying to make a stupid size ist comment.. again? you may disagree with him but really. any need for it?
thats okay... let him have that one.... it goes to show that his head is well and truely up his ass and also blowing smoke....
anyway..... onwards and upwards....
to be able to solve a problem first of all you have to be able to acknowledge the problem....
if people like the op don't acknowledge the problem.... its not worth having the conversation with them.... they are the people who like to put thier fingers in their ears and scream "la la la, i'm not listening"
you can at the end of the day only help the people who want to be helped.....
also at the end of the day people like the OP will be a footnote to the history the rest of us make by progressing with the conversation.... if they have to dragged on by the civilised majority on both sides... so be it!!
they aren't a big enough barrier to stop the rest of us from making progress........"In all seriousness, could you define the problem? It really does make a difference whether the problem is 'instutional racism', racist individual police officers, gun control laws, police doctrine, gang culture... and if you are going to say "well it's a mixture of things" then could you rank them in terms of criticality? | |||

"if was meant to be "if the Police side is what the police say........ but i have given up talking to you op... like i said... in one ear, out of the other and not listening, you are not wanting to engage in serious conversation... its about scoring points.... if you deride black lives matter as much as you do... as we said there are other option... talk to the NAACP instead, talk to the Urban League instead, talk to the National Action Network instead.... so again.... for the 4/5th time in the thread... all the police have to do is release the vest cam footage, that immediately defuses the situation and then there is not excuse for people to be out demostrating " Fabio, you are well aware of what has been said with the police camera footage as it is on the news daily, the camera footage is part of the confirmation that he had a gun in his hand but not totally confirmative, Police reports, DNA on the gun and fingerprints are also part of the evidence, but then you already should know that. now again for the 4th or 5th time, will you answer this? Are you saying its okay for African American mobs (claiming black lives matter) to protest by stopping vehicles, kick the shit out of vehicles and jump on the roofs as you can clearly see in the press photographs!! If this is what you consider a solution; then you sure as hell are indeed part of the problem if you go to abc news or RT you will see the footage of the African Americans pulling over vehicles, kicking the hell out of them and jumping on the roofs whilst terrified victims inside still waiting on your reply | |||

""I did not see that in the videos that I reviewed," Putney said at a news conference. "So what I can tell you, though, is when taken in the totality of all the other evidence, it supports what we've heard and the version of the truth that we gave about the circumstances that happened that led to the death of Mr. Scott." ******** When the Scott family was asked if the video they saw matches what police has described, their attorney replied, "No comment." ********* Earlier, Putney reiterated that he has no plans to publicly release the video, arguing that it would jeopardize the integrity of the investigation. "We release it when we believe it is a compelling reason, but I'm not going to jeopardize the investigation," he told reporters "No comment." "No comment." "No comment." "No comment." " I feel like you're using this case as THE prime example of why the complaints the black community has against police forces is wrong. It's falacious. I could pick one example of the opposite....namely what happened in Tulsa. Let's be honest, I'd have plenty of examples to choose from. To hold this one case up as an example that the black community is wrong is, as I said earlier, to ignore the history of race relations in the U.S. - to cherry pick examples that fit your own rhetoric. The more the problem is ignored, the worse it will become and the more we will leave people with no opiton but violence. Is that what we want? It isn't what I want. | |||

Sure. I'll start by saying it's a mix of things. Then I'll rank them as I see them. I see history as the main problem. It does well and truly divide the races in the US in a unique way.

And the problem is that it isn't boring to some people caught up in the problem. I think there are better ways, I have not defended black lives matter once. I routinely critize them. But I accept the problem. It isn't boring to me. I've seen people live it. I agree that there are better ways to fix it. I'll check out your video later, thanks for posting it.  | |||

"the police dept finally released the dashcam video.... it is not looking good... the dude got out of the car and was walking backwards/backing away when they shot him.." Are you surprised that the video does not fit with what the police said happened? Seems to me that it is open season on non whites for any police officer who feels the need to make their bones. But then there is nothing new in this, 'good old boys' have been proving their manhood for the last couple of centuries by killing non whites in the Land of the Brave and Home of the Free. | |||

Are you surprised that the video does not fit with what the police said happened? Seems to me that it is open season on non whites for any police officer who feels the need to make their bones. But then there is nothing new in this, 'good old boys' have been proving their manhood for the last couple of centuries by killing non whites in the Land of the Brave and Home of the Free.

"Except that the officer who shot him was black
Ever heard of coconuts?"Sounds like you've decided it must be a racist shooting and are trying to get the facts to fit your theory. | |||

"the police dept finally released the dashcam video.... it is not looking good... the dude got out of the car and was walking backwards/backing away when they shot him.." Having watched both sets of footage, this is what I could see: - His hands were by his sides. This means that he probably wasn't an imminent threat, but also he was not complying with the officers. - His wife shouts at him "keith, don't do it" so I'm not sure what this refers to. This does imply a threat. - From the footage, it's hard to see what (if anything) is in his hands. I couldn't honestly say there's an object in his hands at all, based on the footage. If he had his hands up, it would be easier to tell. - I couldn't see a gun on the floor (after the shooting) in the footage either. He could still be holding it or have landed on it, but there aren't any objects on the floor in the footage that I could see. | |||

I feel like you're using this case as THE prime example of why the complaints the black community has against police forces is wrong. It's falacious. I could pick one example of the opposite....namely what happened in Tulsa. Let's be honest, I'd have plenty of examples to choose from. To hold this one case up as an example that the black community is wrong is, as I said earlier, to ignore the history of race relations in the U.S. - to cherry pick examples that fit your own rhetoric.

"questions to ask yourself:" i'll try........ and i'll be factual with what we know "Why was Scott, who had a traumatic brain injury, why was he allowed to possess a gun?" we don't know for certain: a) there was a gun..... b) if there was a gun, since north carolina is a conceal carry state if he had a permit for one, of which the state have not said if he did or he didn't, if he did have a permit, it would have been perfectly legal to have a gun, of again we don't know if he did or he didn't, in the car..... as in the philando castile case in july in minnesota.... he got out his car... held his hands in the air, actually shouted to the police he had a concealed weapon and a permit, went to show him them the permit... and got killed... when the governor of minnesota then said the same thing would likely have not happened if the person was white, then you know there is an issue.... but you don't want other cases brought up to compare with this one.....so onto the next question "Why also with a traumatic brain injury was he in possession of marijuana and known to have committed another crime." 2nd bit first..... a) charlotte pd have not said why they stopped in the first place... we know he had been convicted of crimes in the past, but we don't know what his was stopped for in this instance.... b) in a lot of states, marijuana (medical or synthetic) is actually legal if they get a permit to say it is used for the purposes of medically relieving pain..... "If he had done what he was instructed to do by the Police, he would still be alive today, perhaps locked up in jail for committing his crimes, but still alive." again you are making a presumption the charlotte pd have not confirmed, that they were after him for something... .

As you continuously evade answering this question, I take it you fully support the "black lives matter" thugs who were pulling over cars, kicking the shit out of them and jumping on the roofs whilst petrified innocent drivers were inside, imagine if that was someone's teenage daughter driving the vehicle. . The people that do this should be locked up for a very long time, and yet you refuse to condemn them. You still have a chance to say what they done was wrong, but I think your true colours are showing through. | |||

" Mr. Scott effectively forfeited his right to carry a gun in 2005, when he was convicted in the shooting of a man in San Antonio and sentenced to prison yes, I will say again; Mr. Scott effectively forfeited his right to carry a gun in 2005, when he was convicted in the shooting of a man in San Antonio and sentenced to prison. . North Carolina law forbids possession of marijuana, but the police said on Saturday that the officers did not “consider Mr. Scott’s drug activity to be a priority” and approached him only after seeing the firearm . A photo of the marijuana cigarette released by the police on Saturday suggested that it had been smoked. . From my own personal view, if the police come across a person who is smoking drugs in one hand and holding an illegal firearm in the other - illegal because he is not permitted to own a gun due to being convicted in the shooting of a man in San Antonio in 2005 and sentenced to prison . and if that same person refuses to lay down the illegal gun which he has no legal right to own, and has previously shot a man, then the police have the right to take him out in any way they can. | |||

A photo of the marijuana cigarette released by the police on Saturday suggested that it had been smoked. . Now on top of that it emerges CHARLOTTE (WTVD) -- The gun that Keith Scott had on him during the deadly shooting was reported stolen after a breaking and entering, police said. The breaking and entering suspect told ATF Agents that he sold the gun to Scott. and further to that Scott's wife filed a domestic violence protective order on him in 2015 saying he hit his child, kicked her and threatened to kill them with his gun, (ILLEGAL GUN). yet some still think Scott is the innocent party (open your eyes people) "I think the above info put a close to this thread | |||

Under educated, under employment and overly represented in social support programmes. Add to that that they are over represented in crime figures, over represented as murder victims as well as murder perpetrators. Bottom line is that too many black people have shit lives and yes, they could do more to help themselves and yes a black President could have done more and probably would had he not been the subject of the ultimate in prophylactics - a Republican dominated Senate. The US is a pretty fucked up place and people who feel like social outcasts are going to behave in ways that people who are not in their position would struggle to understand. Cast your mind back just a few summers ago in the UK and the entirely unacceptable riots that we had in Tottenham and elsewhere. Perceived social injustices are responsible for people behaving in unacceptable ways. | |||

Bottom line is that too many black people have shit lives and yes, they could do more to help themselves and yes a black President could have done more and probably would had he not been the subject of the ultimate in prophylactics - a Republican dominated Senate. The US is a pretty fucked up place and people who feel like social outcasts are going to behave in ways that people who are not in their position would struggle to understand. Cast your mind back just a few summers ago in the UK and the entirely unacceptable riots that we had in Tottenham and elsewhere. Perceived social injustices are responsible for people behaving in unacceptable ways." there are no excuses for blacks running riot with a chip on their shoulders, no excuse still waiting for Fabio to answer the question asked to him | |||

"The thread is offensive, imo" I totally agree with you. It is. And it shows total ignorance and disrespect. I would fear for my children if some of these posters were around them. | |||

"I think, guys who are talking about 'blacks' in that tone and terminology are not worthy of a response because lumping everyone together under this category smacks of a different era and generation. It's totally unacceptable to me .... so I wont get involved in your debate. I live in Croydon, scene of recent (ish) riots and many of these so called 'blacks' but your language is too separatist. I have also lived in East LA, again where there were riots, and my ex was from Mississippi .... where your language would still be the norm. Do you have any direct experience of the people you are talking about, just out of interest? Do you know, for example, that they are also human beings? Do you anything of their life experience? Families? Values? Culture? " In my recently adopted bullshit rating of posts, the Original post would be classified as a troll post and from this point forward, such trolling posts will be ignored (at least by me). | |||

I can't believe such posts are allowed here. This time surely racism can't hide behind the façade of prefernce | |||
