Seriously, the man had a fucking gun and the cop was still cool! The world we live in
Agreed
and no fear of any repercussions - by the justice system - or.......
Fam, please be careful what you type online...
Why would anyone argue with someone who refers to himself as "Amajorfucup"? The name says it all. Consequently I won't waste anymore time on a major fuck up with the intellect of a gnat.
Nice tapout. Bitch.
They'll watch the Chauvin video and testimony and STILL say he got what he deserved.
That's not true. It was mainly the economic damage of boycotts and protests. That's a fact. I don't feel like posting a lot on this (I probably already have), but you're absolutely wrong.
The things you mentioned allowed for moderates to abstain from supporting the gov't in totality as they often did, but the gov't action was a result of the economic boycott and protests where there was a strategic vision to economically strike local governments and businesses and they were devastating. That's absolutely what moved the needle and it's often why current events don't result in as striking of a response from the state.
For instance, none of that shit you mentioned mattered in Alabama. It was the Montgomery bus boycott (and other boycotts) that went on for over a year that broke the power structure.

The Chief said fuck it and walked out of a press conference.
....and left the resident Coon to spit, stutter, and stumble.
....and left the resident Coon to spit, stutter, and stumble.
Wow
The police were in a hurry to say he had a warrant and tried to flee, like that justifies murdering him.
If the shooting was justified, they'd have released the body cam footage by now.
They released it. The argument is now is that they DIDN'T want to kill him. They wanted to tase him... the officer supposedly put out her real gun instead of her taser by mistake... man...
they're arguing it was an "accident"
Mannn, if that was a black guy and the cop saw the gun he would have had his gun out already....screaming some 'get on the ground' type shit
The police chief didn't want to stick around.
They forced him to come back.
they did already at the beginning of the press conference.. it's fucked up dawg.... they shot him point blank and then said it was a mistake... she pulled out the wrong gun...
Yeah... that one officer was about to answer a question that would have fucked them up and the chief jumped in and deaded it
WTFThey released it. The argument is now is that they DIDN'T want to kill him. They wanted to tase him... the officer supposedly put out her real gun instead of her taser by mistake... man...
The effort the government uses to protect police officers is something we must attack from the roots. Why can't they give us the name of officer involved?
Pigs claim he meant to pull taser not gun by mistake.

Minnesota officer meant to draw Taser, not gun in fatal Brooklyn Center shooting of Daunte Wright, police say
BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. -- Police in a Minneapolis suburb where a Black man was fatally shot during a traffic stop say the officer who fired intended to use a Taser, not a handgun.
Police Chief Tim Gannon described the shooting as "an accidental discharge."
The man identified by relatives as 20-year-old Daunte Wright died Sunday in Brooklyn Center, a city of about 30,000 people on the northwest border of Minneapolis. His death sparked violent protests, with officers in riot gear clashing with demonstrators into Monday morning.
The Minneapolis area was already on edge because of the trial of the first of four police officers charged in George Floyd's death.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below.
A Black man died after being shot by police during a traffic stop in a Minneapolis suburb, sparking violent protests that lasted into Monday as officers in riot gear clashed with demonstrators and the man's mother called for calm.
The man was identified by family as 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who died Sunday in a metropolitan area that was already on edge because of the trial of the first of four police officers charged in George Floyd's death. The judge in that case refused Monday to sequester the jury after a defense attorney argued that the panel could be influenced by the prospect of what might happen as a result of their verdict.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz tweeted that he was praying for Wright's family "as our state mourns another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement."
Speaking before the unrest, Wright's mother, Katie Wright, urged protesters to stay peaceful and focused on the loss of her son.
"All the violence, if it keeps going, it's only going to be about the violence. We need it to be about why my son got shot for no reason," she said to a crowd near the shooting scene in Brooklyn Center, a city of about 30,000 people on the northwest border of Minneapolis. "We need to make sure it's about him and not about smashing police cars, because that's not going to bring my son back."
Protesters who gathered near the scene waved flags and signs reading "Black Lives Matter." Others walked peacefully with their hands held up. On one street, someone wrote in multi-colored chalk: "Justice for Daunte Wright."
Officers stopped a motorist shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday for an unspecified traffic violation, police said in a statement. Authorities planned to provide an update later Monday.
Katie Wright said her son called her as he was getting pulled over.
"All he did was have air fresheners in the car, and they told him to get out of the car," Wright said. During the call, she said she heard scuffling and then someone saying "Daunte, don't run" before the call ended. When she called back, her son's girlfriend answered and said he had been shot.
After determining the driver had an outstanding warrant, police said they tried to arrest him. Then the driver reentered the vehicle, and an officer fired, striking him, police said. The vehicle traveled several blocks before striking another vehicle.
Wright's family offered a different account, with Katie Wright saying her son was shot before getting back into the car.
A female passenger sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the crash, authorities said. Katie Wright said that passenger was her son's girlfriend.
Court records show Wright was being sought after failing to appear in court on charges that he fled from officers and possessed a gun without a permit during an encounter with Minneapolis police in June. In that case, a statement of probable cause said police got a call about a man waving a gun who was later identified as Wright."
Shortly after the shooting, demonstrators began to gather, with some jumping atop police cars. Marchers also descended on the Brooklyn Center Police Department, where rocks and other objects were thrown at officers, authorities said. The protesters had largely dispersed by 1:15 a.m. Monday.
President Joe Biden was briefed on the shooting, and the White House has been in touch with the governor, mayor and local law enforcement, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
"We were incredibly saddened to hear about the loss of life at the hands of law enforcement in Minnesota yesterday," she said.
National Guard troops and law enforcement officers continued to guard the front of the police department on Monday morning. Police were erecting a concrete barrier as Minnesota State Patrol officers joined the line in front of the precinct.
Several people and reporters watched from across the street as traffic returned to normal on the street where protesters were met with tear gas the night before. One man yelled at the officers using a megaphone as others flew Black Lives Matter flags.
About 20 businesses were broken into at the city's Shingle Creek shopping center, Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said at a news conference.
The National Guard was activated, and Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott announced a curfew that expired shortly before daybreak.
Police said Brooklyn Center officers wear body cameras, which they believe were activated during the traffic stop. The department said it has asked the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate.
The trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis officer charged in Floyd's death, continued Monday. Floyd, a Black man, died May 25 after Chauvin, who is white, pressed his knee against Floyd's neck. Prosecutors say Floyd was pinned for 9 minutes, 29 seconds.
More National Guard members and state law enforcement personnel were to be deployed around the Twin Cities and in Brooklyn Center in addition to teams already in place for Chauvin's trial at the Hennepin County courthouse in Minneapolis, Harrington said.
There was no visible increase in the already high security presence on Monday morning outside the courthouse, which was fortified ahead of Chauvin's trial with tall fencing topped with barbed wire and coils of razor wire between the fences and concrete barriers. National Guard troops with military vehicles, sheriff's deputies and county security guards continued to stand watch.
Meanwhile, all Brooklyn Center students were to attend online classes Monday because school buildings were closed, Superintendent Carly Baker said.

Same thing happened with Oscar Grant in California.
That officer only served 11 months.

That officer only served 11 months.
Ex-BART officer Johannes Mehserle released after 11 months in prison
A white former San Francisco Bay area transit officer convicted of the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man on a train station platform was released from jail early Monday.

Which would still be manslaughter.
How are they going to defend this? if you felt like he was a real threat to your life, you would have drawn a real gun. However, you intended on pulling out of a taser but you should him with your real gun by mistake?
They've already stated that.. the police chief put it on the record.
So this should be.. at minimum, an open shut case for some type of crime. Unless the legal argument is going to be cops can just shoot muthafuckas by mistake now too.
This is total bullshit. Officers typically carry tasers cross body so they can draw either their service pistol or the taser with their strong hand. No fucking way you get these two mixed up. I've even seen tasers carried in a traditional fashion(on hip/thigh) but on the opposite hip. Pistol on the strong hand side and taser on the weak hand side. Again, no way you're getting these mixed up and no way a cop is carrying both their service pistol AND taser on the same hip.
Man.. i said i wasnt gonna watch this shit.. lemme see wtf is going on..The fucking chief in her tearing up
Thats one of the many problems of the justice system. Again a lot of what police do is held up because the state needs money. So they have these bullshit laws and quotas that target poor people and black people. it needs to be changed asap!!
The Montgomery Bus Boycott broke the power structure? Really? Please tell me what group wielded and still wields near absolute power in Alabama after the boycott. The boycott broke a bus company not the government. Boycotts and protests are essentially strategic to the struggle, but public opinion moves the needle as well, and as I tried to persuade another poster looting stores after another black man has been gunned down by the police doesn't move that public opinion needle in the direction we need it to go.
