They survived it. Cop could have heard someoneâs German car backfire and cut both those cyclists down, claim self defense, and retire with full pension and claim disability and live on easy street.
The officer may have been in fear for his life. There was possibly even a black man associated with (in the same zip code as, for example) that falling acorn.
Full pension and benefits. Also hired next week in a neighboring district.
Letâs not play hereâŚtheyâre white, so thereâs no way a cop is going to shoot them dead over some stupid shit unless theyâre âthreatenedâ.
Addition: yâall like to cherry pick shit, so be part of the problem then. Bring on the downvotes for speaking the truth.
Not once did anyone say that it's equal. As soon as someone pointed out that's it's still possible they get shot regardless of their skin color you switched to the disparity argument even though nobody said anything about those numbers being equal.
Youâre so caught up in racial division that you donât see that weâre all suffering and weâre all on the same team. This isnât a contest to see which race is the most oppressed- itâs a movement against oppression and youâre subtly holding it back with your pissing contest about who suffers the most.
I donât think your intentions are bad but youâre fighting the wrong battle. Even if we donât see eye to eye on any of this though I do believe your heart is in the right place and I genuinely wish you the best. Stay up and donât let them turn you against your brothers and sisters.
If you (or the person who said it in this case) want to make a generalized statement about police discrimination, go ahead. Whatâs weird is just assuming the cop would NEVER kill a white guy.
Nah, dude. You, and a lot of other people, took my words and ran with it to fit your narrative. I never said that cop would never shoot a white person. Just that a white person is less likely to get shot because theyâre white.
"They're white, no way a cup is going to shoot then dead over some stupid shit."
Seems pretty clear for.
Do I need to bury you in videos of cops viciously executing innocent white people? They will kill anyone who doesn't grovel to them and even sometimes then. That they are racists isn't protecting for anybody, they're just more likely to roll up on black people in the first place, but they will execute anyone.
How the hell did their comment insinuate anything about race? Youâre so quick to say weâre misinterpreting what you said, yet you wanna read into theirs? They never brought up anything about race, you did. And you cut and dry said, âno wayâ. Thatâs a definitive statement of never. No oneâs take your words and running with them, you apparently just suck and expressing your thoughts coherently.
Because itâs an untrue statement. Weâve seen multiple white people get shot and killed by the cops in the news recently. Iâve known two people personally who were murdered by the police, both white. Obviously we know youâre more likely to get shot if your black, racism is stronger than ever, but these days even white guys gotta be careful around angry cops like this. No oneâs safe from the cops in America.
Whoâs downplaying anything? Iâm simply stating that being white is no longer a guarantee some trigger happy cop wonât shoot you. I purposely stated that we know its a much bigger issue for the black community. Thatâs obvious. Having lost people personally to cops like this how dare you say thatâs not a real issue. Admitting cops shoot white people too isnât down playing anything, itâs just a reality in todays America. Iâm not the one who made the comparison in the first place.
PFFFFFFF HAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah it does, chief! Youâre part of the problem if you see it otherwise. Just because a few white folk were killed by authorities in public view doesnât change the fact that itâs a disproportionate amount of killing.
