Phoenix officer guns down unarmed..

[unixwizzard]

seems to be a theme here.. if a (white) officer shoots a black suspect, it becomes national headline news..

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/phoenix-police-shooting-latest-ignite-outcry-27377999

from the article (emphasis mine)::

the officer responded Tuesday to reports of someone selling drugs out of a Cadillac SUV. Upon locating the SUV, he ordered Brisbon, the sole occupant, to show his hands.

Authorities say Brisbon ran inside an apartment building and then got into a struggle with the officer. Brisbon put his hand in his pocket, and when the officer grabbed the hand, he thought he felt the handle of a gun through Brisbon's pants, police said.

Police say the officer repeatedly told Brisbon to keep his hand in his pocket, then shot him twice when he didn't.


so.. let's see..



suspect ignores police officer (show me your hands), then runs away from officer - gets in struggle with officer, sticks hand in clothes (wasteband, pocket, doesn't matter), refuses to obey officer..


classic resisting arrest


outcome: suspect ends up injured/shot/dead.


suspect is white - nobody bats an eye.. suspect is black or hispanic, it's racism.


anyone see a theme yet?


solution? I don't know.. maybe don't run from the police, don't fight with (or attack) the officer, and if he/she says to do or don't do something - listen..?


*shrug*

Time to end the war on drugs. It would cut down on a lot of these cases.

but if you do that, what excuse will the pigs have to jack you up then?

what will replace their old standby of "I smelled the odor of marijuana"..?

 

[maluckey]

Time for not being retarded and disobeying a sworn officer of the law. See the pattern here? Officer gives clear instructions and a fucking retard doesn't....retard pays price.

How does stopping the war on drugs end how fucktards earn money? If it wasn't drugs this fucktard would be selling something else. If he HAD a viable skill and half a brain he wouldn't be breaking the law and then acting like ...... a criminal

You are really good at simplistic representations of the data before you. I wonder what that indicates.

I saw this story yesterday, apparently the media is really all-in on pushing this "evil white cops shooting unarmed black men" narrative.

Just as Mike Brown, Brisbon is a lousy posterchild. A criminal that was found to have illegal drugs, refused police commands, and has a prior criminal record is not exactly someone the public will have a lot of sympathy for. Nor should they.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Phoenix police officer who mistook a pill bottle for a gun demonstrates the challenges law enforcement agencies face at a time of unrest over police tactics.

What a bunch of amateurs,.. they should have enhanced what was in the perp's hands,... I mean, we can look into the pockets for God's sake; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbCWYm7B_B4, so it would be much easier to scan what is in his hands!

littering or jay walking. if they catch you they shoot you on the spot.

so what happens when you obey an officer?

I'm really starting to wonder about this. With the revolutionary communists from Chicago rushing down to St. Louis to "help" with the Ferguson protests and the forced meme of police shooting "innocent" black suspects (who never seem to follow instructions) it's almost as if the media is intentionally muckraking a complete non-starter of a movement. Which is a shame, because we could use less racial violence and less militarized police forces.

Getting rid of war on drugs is not a simplistic representation?

Excellent concern trolling!

I highly recommend you look more into the overall impact the War on Drugs has played in race relations, unequal application of laws against black people, and it's role on oppressing a large segment of the black population into poverty. It's the 'big picture' problem that is driving the apparent racism in police today.

While each case should be judged on it's own merit, it's absolute fact that if the Drug War to be repealed, it would remove a large part (but not all) of the injustice we see today. The Drug War is the 2nd worst policy ever set by the United States next to Slavery itself.

suspect is white - nobody bats an eye.. suspect is black or hispanic, it's racism.

If you feel you really have a case here, what you need to do is join a group of your peers and get out there and protest.

Why would he do that? The moment he tries to call foul it's seen as racist. So why bother...

I suspect the EX-Police Officer (facing charges) would have done the same thing had the person been white, hispanic, or white hispanic.

Do you guys have access to any life skills programs or such?
If you feel going outside for help is too much of a risk, then maybe just read some motivational sites or something

Here is one to get you started

No, I got it. You were trying to say that even when following directions, the cops will still shoot you.

I was pointing out that the cop that did that was in the wrong and got fired and arrested for doing so.

You just listed his viable skill and then said he doesn't have a viable skill. He seems proficient in selling things. If drugs were legalized might he...I don't know...sell drugs?

And if there had been no film the civilian would probably be in jail for resisting arrest or worse.
