Walking While Black?

[normiss 905]

Still a deadly thing to do

[wolfriverjoe 1,523]

Yeah, but on the plus side; the incident isn't being covered up.

How long ago would it have been that this would be "papered over" as a justified shooting?

Admittedly, I don't know all the facts of the case. It's entirely possible that it is a "good shoot". Just because the dead guy was black & unarmed doesn't mean he wasn't presenting a legitimate threat to the cop.

And there can be valid reasons to pull a "Terry Stop" on someone walking down the street.

Must be pretty dangerous to walk in your own neighborhood there.
No biggie, we've been harassing black people in their own neighborhoods forever.
It's what created gangs, working good so far I suppose.

Who is "we"? Got a turd in your pocket?

It is a shame to hear you harass black people.
This is not done where I live.

But in fairness, it is Democrat policy that has created and maintained the neighborhoods where this kind socioeconomic crime is the most prevalent.

Which party has controlled the big Cities where this kind of crime is the worst? For over 40 years in many cases.

Anyway
Get that turd out of your pocket.

"He said the facts will show that Gunn ran from Smith and turned violent during a struggle, and the use of deadly force was justified."

Maybe, maybe not.

Perhaps the cop confronted Gunn, Gunn ran, the cop ran pursued, and when caught, Gunn "turned violent."

As I noted above, there aren't enough facts being publicized to draw any real conclusions.

Other than the fact that the cop has been charged, of course.

But being charged doesn't always equate with being guilty.

His career is likely over now, no matter how justified the shooting was.
The media has already decided.

Pretty much this. As is the Madison cop who injured the India grandfather last year.

The media? All I saw there was a report on what is happening. It was his own department who decided to charge him with murder.

That guy's career is over (as it should be) because he viciously assaulted an unarmed, unthreatening, unresisting older gentleman. The media didn't do it, he did.

Heck, if he didn't have a badge there are certain conservative commentators on here who would be talking about lynching him.

But . . . but . . . the next time cops come across an unarmed, unthreatening elderly gentleman, they might hesitate before shooting him! And we can't have that. What sort of pansy liberal kill-o-phobe hell will we be forced to live in then?

Less with the "elderly" please. He was ONLY 57. Just a kid, really.

My humble apologies sir, I meant no offense!

I could make amends by helping with your bags while you cross the road, maybe?
