Not sure mate, was on news earlier. They said had a knife attacking someone. Who knows
If journalists were honest they would have spent 10 seconds slowing the video down and they’d see the sizeable knife in her hand as she was about the murder another black girl.

but that wouldn’t get click.

Aye watched again still not sure what exactly happened it does appear she was trying to attack people. If that be the case and the cops dropped someone with a knife who was going to stab someone so be it .

Everyone cares about black lives until a 7 year old black girl gets shot by a likely black shooter 2 days ago....and then no one cares at all because her killer ain’t white


No state funeral with politicians, no celebrities droning on non stop, no media hype, no campaign to find her killer, no one cares about a 7 year old girl being shot to death.
You're speaking logic and not spouting emotional retorts.
Certain people on here may get offended.

Of course so be it. Saved someone’s life. Hopefully that’s how it’s perceived.

"No one cares... here's a CNN article about the incident"

You see the problem here?

The logic is Class A in this thread lol

"Because criminals commit crimes, police should be allowed to commit crimes too"
I must admit, I'd hate to be a cop in the USA.
Especially a white male cop.

Agreed. Then they'd post accurate articles like...

Police fatally shoot Ohio teenager as she held knife – WSOC TV

Bodycam footage shows fatal police shooting of 16-year-old girl in southeast Columbus | wusa9.com

The footage released by police came from the first officer on the scene. In the video, the teen appears to attempt to stab two people with a knife before the officer fires his weapon.

But don't let facts get in the way of your bias

sorry to get you upset mate, although I didn’t mean to. I just feel quite passionate about the topic. Cant stand dishonest journos.

Here is what news.com.Au thinks passes for honest journalism. “She didn’t deserve to die, cop shoots girl dead”.

Seriously can’t stand most Murdoch media, lying opportunists.

Yep. That's terrible reporting. News.com.au has been on a downward slide for a while.

19-year-old Matthew Bernard shot and killed two women and a child in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Bernard, who was naked and armed with a rifle, also choked a church caretaker and chased a police officer. He posed such a threat to the public that seven local schools were locked down, according to WDBJ-TV.

Yet, somehow, police found a way to de-escalate the situation without resorting to the type of lethal force cops often rely on when confronting Black suspects accused of far less.

-----‐----------------


Mark Boisey, 31, of New Cumberland County, Pennsylvania strangled and pistol-whipped a woman, and fired nearly 50 shots at police. Nonetheless, he was still peacefully arrested and seen in handcuffs with a confident smile on his face. Watch the clip above.

-----‐----------------


-----‐------------------

On July 20, Holmes killed 12 and injured 49 others at a movie theater in Colorado. He was seriously armed and dangerous but, according to USA Today, he was calmly arrested. Aurora police officer Jason Oviatt reportedly found “him outside, standing with his hands on top of his car. Oviatt said Holmes was ‘completely compliant’ when told to surrender.” Oviatt said, “He was just standing there not doing anything, not urgent about anything.” Yet, police seized a semiautomatic handgun with a laser sight, a semiautomatic shotgun and an AR-15 military assault rifle equipped with a 100-round magazine drum from the scene.






And there's heaps more incidents where police can de-escalate when it suits them. But obviously the kkk member who returned to the forum doesn't see it that way

To be fair. There could be a number of reasons why a situation is de-escaletd. Training, recruitment, education, policy being the most significant. Then you have all the variables out of their control from the other party.

Its not necessarily an individual officers choice.

I could bet that alot of other situations involving people from all races are de-ecalated or a non-lethal force tactical option is used

Don't doubt that at all. But when you take into consideration the significant amount of non-lethal situations becoming lethal (with video evidence) and when those lethal situations have pre-dominantly blacks being killed, then you start to question.

When you go a step further and take into consideration the history of that country you again start to question.

When you go a step further and look at the number of false arrests where states have had to pay compensation for incorrectly locking up people of colour ( some due to lack of evidence, new evidence and some falsified evidence by the police) for 20 to 40 years, you start to question.

When you go even another step further and look at the police response of a nation's Capitol being raided, you again start to question.

When you go even a step further and look at the difference in use of force when police are patrolling different protests, you start to question.

When you go even a step further and see an apprehended white supremacist, who just shot up a black church, have a burger king meal bought for him, by the police, in transit to gaol, you start to question.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the other video I once posted on this forum, in that video you had clips of white people getting into a punch on with cops, white people almost running over a cop, etc etc and not a single firearm is even pulled out of its holster, forget being discharged, it's not even pulled out of its holster.

Video evidence is bringing all this to light.

100% there will be cases that are falsely alleged as racism, when it's rather the cop having a heightened sense of fear/anxiety/etc, but there are too many cases where this isn't the case and that indicates a problem

The justice system clearly functions. When police misuse their powers there are consequences in the court.

You know that, that shithole looks like it's going in that direction. You'd love to say let it be but the problem will then be that China will rule the world and that's not good for any of us
