    This should be viral. Every BLM piece of propaganda on Youtube that I saw involving the death of a black person could be traced back to a shadow banned (by YouTube) raw video showing resisting arrest, brandishing a gun, etc. If they cared about people’s lives; they’d educate. My father had this talk with me, and any father that loves their kids should do likewise.

      Are you legit victim blaming the dead on a comic about the effects of institutional racism, even in how black kids have a prejudiced introduction to growing up?

      Everyone should teach their kids what to do when they encounter a wild animal but apparently you think that’s enough license to blame them when they get bitten?

      In most countries failure to comply doesn’t carry a death sentence. Maybe I’m mad about that part. And maybe I’m mad because it’s disproportionate for black people. Maybe I’m mad because jogging while black and deaf shouldn’t put you at risk of police violence. Maybe I’m mad because even as a white lady cops look like they’re itching to get violent

            If someone was brandishing a gun in a crowd -they killed themselves. If someone who had covid bad is having problems breathing when unobstructed wants to fight being arrested -they killed themselves.

            Police are people, they can be corrupt like anyone else. They also do a shitty job that none of their critics would do. They’re under high scrutiny constantly and have to balance now whether to save their own life or risk going to prison from dangerous situations.

            When BLM starts posting unedited un narrated raw footage without getting it shadow banned instead, then maybe they’d deserve an ear. Until then, all they’re doing is their part in diverting from the real problem of a genocidal, brutal racial slavery endorsing death cult. The art of war by turning their would be enemies against each other.

          Breona Taylor was asleep when she was shot to death by police, how is it anything but a death sentence? and the worst part is no consequences for MAJOR fuckups like that. show me another profession where killing someone, intentionally or accidentally, doesn’t get you fired with criminal charges, and not just a vacation.

      Resisting arrest is not punishable by death. The cop is not a jury. If you choose to resist, the punishment should be reasonably forceful arrest.

      Also, some of the people you think were resisting arrest were sleep in their apartment. So…?

        So they definitely weren’t resisting a rest.

        Some of the picture that you’re conveniently omitting:

        George Floyd was a violent thug with a history which was known by Derek, so the situation was confirmed high risk for him (not even counting the unruly mob they had to contend with).

        George complained about not being able to breathe while being escorted to the vehicle.

        At that moment; medical was called for which is why they arrived on sceen (attempting to save his life).

        George refused to get in the car and at his suggestion they laid him on the ground outside.

        Derek’s knee to the neck was protocol and what he was trained to do that they lied about in court.

        There’s conflicting testimonies about what actually killed him, but let’s not forget that he was complaining about not being able to breathe while still standing before a struggle, (which used up oxygen) which was his choice. He was also affected by Covid.

        So stop with the propaganda.

          Ah, the high risk situation of being called to deal with a man falsely accused of a non-violent crime, and an unruly mob of people keeping their distance and “begging the men with guns and armor not to murder a man in the street”. I can definitely understand why shitty cowards would feel threatened.

          lied about in court

          I’m gonna go with “nah”. He was found guilty, so he’s a guilty murderer.
          I’m shocked a bootlicker like yourself would have such doubts in the system. Or is it because they actually found a cop guilty and you just can’t accept such a travesty? Just think of all the black kids he could have threatened!

          Go to hell.

          I didn’t mention Floyd. The fact you have to put words in my mouth and then argue against them proves that you know you’re wrong.

        Sure, how were they sleeping while someone was next to them shooting? Why do you have a problem with painting the whole picture?

            Ms Taylor’s killing should make anyone distrust the justice system. I don’t care if she shot first. Middle of the night home invasions are a situation in which one cannot assume reasonable avenues for retreat and if you don’t know it’s the cops why the fuck shouldn’t you be shooting.

            And it’s not like the cops actually help when you’ve actually had a home invasion…

      for every video you have, I’ve got 2 that show people of all colors getting fucked royaly by cops, most often just by hurting their feelings. is a cops thin skin, usually after initiating and talking down to a person, or cussing at them or threatening them, a valid reason for jamming them up or killing them?
