Give it a rest mate. You don't strike me as an ignorant asshole like fagdog so why don't you be reasonable. There are plenty of times that the facts/video shows the cop was in the right to react/shoot/etc, and there are often times that the cop shows bad judgment REGARDLESS OF WHAT COLOR THE OTHER GUY IS.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no proponent of the black community in many aspects. Is there a large disproportionate amount of black on black crime? prepensity for violence? sense of self-entitlement laziness feeding off social programs? Large prison population? Yea to all that.
But when I see a video of 5 cops surrounding a fat black dude and putting him in a chokehold while he's grunting 'I can't breathe' until he's dead... I say that's pure shit. And all you fucks saying 'oh well he was selling cigarettes, oh he was a criminal, oh if he can talk he can breathe', well to you I say I hope you all go to hell or better yet, get caught up in the bad side of the system. The guy may have been all those things but did he deserve to be chocked to death? You'd have to be a sociopath with lack of basic human compassion to say otherwise.
Just because a guy has a badge and is a cop doesn't unilaterally absolve him of any and all wrongdoing forever and impervious to error.
