Are Cons Coming to Terms With Racism in American Policing?

If you personally witnessed an action such that you could see the entire scene to include behind or under or what ever, then you can make a judgement. If not, all you are doing is fanning the flames instead of being reasonable.

My biggest problem is not what you believe, but your making claims without all the evidence; and you are doing it about the Sterling case.

That is what I have said as well. We don't know what happened prior. We all know it matters not, these officers will not face trial for their actions.

That is the sad part.. Even if they do, they walk... They have a license to kill....

I doubt that. I think you have already made your "decision"

So you think you are smart enough to read my mine? How absurd! All I have said is that the video clip does not show murder to me. I ALWAYS wait for the facts before knee jerking a decision.

You are pretty sure he was going for his gun, so, tell me, who is fanning the flames here? Who has already made a determination of this man actions? How absurd!

The same individuals that "race bait" are the same kind of individual that roll up their windows and lock their doors every time they drive through a neighborhood that is ethnically different then their own. Racism is natural or the world would not be populated with different races...each congregating toward SAME, with the same customs, culture, etc., Racism, like poverty will always exist upon this earth....what needs to be taught as a moral compass is tolerance and respect to each's individuality....and the right of every culture or race to have that individualism while observing the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with each group...regardless of Color.

No one can legislate morality.....common law is but a reflection of any societies morality or lack thereof. This problem can only be solved at the root cause....a breakdown of Family values of all RACES.....hate is gestated at home.

I think your post is on point. I have but one thing to add, "when multiple races live in the same society it behooves all of those races to assimilate into the mainstream society such that everyone has the same opportunity.

I paid attention to why the cops were called, he had a gun. Any movement of his hands could well be going for his guns. What would you prefer? The cops not going into an ethnic area because if something happens they are accused of brutality?

As a psychologist I have reviewed work done by others of my peer group. I learned a long time ago that pre judging tends to turn up wrong about half the time.

I didn't say, I was pretty sure he was going for his gun. Why read into my comment what you think I said or meant? I said, "His hand was free reaching toward his pocket." Do you know what was in his pocket? I don't, but the police were called to stop him from waving a gun around.
 
What has your research shown happens when a man is grabbed & body slammed onto the hood of a car like that?? For selling CD's??

Did you see that?? Since in the new clip something is pulled out of his pocket but it isn't clear what, so they could not have seen it, as it was still in the pocket..

That's why we need more info as to what happened prior to what we see on video.

Yes, & it all takes time, time for them to talk to their lawyers & get told what to say/not say...

This isn't a stinking fourth world country & yet we have a police forces that can & do ruin the lives of the ppl they are paid to serve~up into death by cop..:(
