This is a case where black lives matter should be out there for. This was some real bullshit. As a white dude, i can very confidently say if it were me there's probably a very low % chance I'd have been shot.

I don't get why BLM focuses on pieces of shit like Michael Brown who attacked a cop and deserved to get shot, Freddie Gray who didn't deserve to die but was a career criminal, Eric Garner whose death really was an accident but was doing some illegal shit and was arrested 30 times in his life. Why is all the focus on these pieces of shit and not cases like this where a black dude was doing everything correct and by the book and got shot.

Makes me sick to watch the video, but it frustrates me as a person who agrees that cops have a quicker trigger against blacks than they do whites. Granted, I think the solution is to get black communities to raise themselves up and bash each other when they commit crime rather than support it and say "that's what it's like in the black community." Take the Asian approach as a hated group and beat white people at their own stupid game.

Sigh...

Why should a criminal history influence whether we have sympathy and outrage for people unjustly killed by police?

It is messed up that they don't care about due process, presumption of guilt, or habeas corpus anymore. We have a lot of fascists here.

"Iran puts people to death for small drug offenses, its an out of hand regime who has no culture in their CJ system!"

"He had a documented history of small crimes and was convicted of a robbery in 2010. No loss to society."
