Quote:I'm not about to quote all that real teal or pat.  Lol, Do you honestly want to know how many black males match that description at almost every corner store i frequent on just the northside of Jacksonville?  Probably not by your response.  Also, him having a gun on him was not known or a concern until after THEY ATTACKED HIM.  I might as well say murdered but you think otherwise.  

 

The police could've easily just drawn their weapons if they were scared and said come forward, turn around and back up slowly, etc instead of just shooting him because after tackling him to the ground, like cops are known to do to almost every race, they felt a gun and shot him because he was moving while pinned down for not listening to his authority figures.  

 

I just pray for my own sake that i don't sell anything i own at a store and the police are called for a black man waving a gun.  If i don't listen or act like i have time for their [BAD WORD REMOVED], its my own fault for getting shot and killed because i should've known the police were called and they were about to come interrogate/tackle me cause I match the description.  

 

 

Side Note:  Do you care to know how many times i've been pulled over just for driving while black and matching the description of a Black man with no suspected transportation at all.  Just so the cop could run my license, search my car and we all(disobedient minorities) know refusal just prolongs the process, and then let me go with a sly remark like stay outta trouble now.  But based off of your apparent logic and reasoning, what were the police suppose to do in their life or death type daily lives; and i should just listen take it as often as it happens and just raise my kids to be police officers to try and harrass/make a difference in the community by cleaning up the neighborhood with more arrests.  Not Doctors, Actors, Teachers, Politicians, Scientists, etc but Police to police the already harassed neighborhoods this is happening in, because that will fix it.  

 

I guess while you raise your kids to go to school and just stay away from drugs and be all they can be, I'll still be teaching mine why he shouldn't stand around the store because police could pull up at any minute and say crime is reported and he has a chance of being killed if he doesn't follow instructions to the letter.  Basically TRAINING MY CHILD to handle a situation better than the Government Enforcer who is trained and given a badge and passing grade/mental evaluation for his expertise in handling these said situations on a daily basis because thats the profession he chose.  Are people insane, because racist apparently only means N word or slave terms since its too many other minorities in the country for African American racism complaints to matter that much in 2016.

As much as I appreciate this message, there is a segment in society (and on this board) that will always twist their nose, or shun African Americans and be dismissive of our issues. They will hide behind the tounge and cheek responses of "let's wait until all the evidence comes out", or "I will always give law enforcement more of the benefit than doubt".


You message will and is falling on deaf ears to some on purpose because they already are dug into their stance and have a preconceived notion of Blacks. This is evident by a poster who has notorious history of posting racist or race bating material related to African Americans.


All hope is not lost though.
