Show me where I was trying to defend anyone. I specifically said if it is what it looks like, those two guys should never see the light of day. BUT, we have a tremendous problem as a society with getting/seeing limited information and jumping to conclusions like we know exactly what happened and have all the facts. I am not saying I think this is the case with that video. If you told me i had to make a decision about what happened to those guys right now based on that video, I would put them behind bars forever. The fact of the matter is that none of us has to do that right now and can wait and see if even more evidence comes to light so we can be certain what happened.
Keep that same attitude for all crimes. Especially ones caught on video.
What specifically is there no justification for. Not making a snap judgement based on an internet dash cam video? Again, LIKE I SAID IN MY ORIGINAL POST, if the video is what it looks like, there is no justification for their actions and they should never see the light of day. I would just rather wait and see if more evidence comes to light to confirm what appears to happen in the video. You don't know what you don't know.
I will certainly keep the same attitude for all crimes. Why would anyone not have the same attitude for all crimes? That makes no sense.
Wish I could say this was a surprise.
Citizens arrest then self defense.
If what it appears happened in the video is what actually happened, there is no doubt being an ex cop influenced his behavior.
I always knew you were ignorant, but I didn’t know you couldn’t read. Just like a dem to take advantage of another black man getting shot. You’re disgusting. The shooter was in fact a retired police officer.
Trayvon Martin was a thug, he got what he deserved. Martin was a criminal, and he had the guy who ultimately shot him mounted pounding his head into a cement surface with no intent on stopping. The world is better because that POS ate a bullet. This case is nothing like that, this guy was chased down for no good reason by some overzealous idiots. Reckless manslaughter is the very best they can hope for, that video is pretty damning.
Your stats are misleading. Look at their % of the overall population, then look at their % of having committed serious crimes. They are shot twice as often because they commit over twice as many serious crimes as non blacks. It doesn’t help that hostility towards the police is taught, encouraged, and celebrated in nearly all minority neighborhoods.
Because that's not how society works unfortunately. Hopefully your naive mind can come to grips with that one day.
You can’t make an accurate charge unless you know the facts. What I saw looked pretty damning and those guys probably need to rot in jail. However, I would argue you are a part of the problem for jumping to a conclusion without knowing and if the facts. How many times have we seen these clear cut videos that have a different story after the fact? That video looks awful. If what you believe to be true is in fact true may that rot away.
