I am not a black male. I think I am fairly intelligent, but I don't get it. Why are they not waiting for the investigation? Now they they have found out more details, why can't they say this might not be an example of corrupt LE? Why do they keep up the hate and distorted accounts? Credibility is lost when this is done. Why do they stereotype LE while they protest about being stereotyped?
Honest question- will I never understand because I am not a black male? Jmo and TIA

Glady, I want to understand. I really do. Tia

Yes, I think that last thing you said. It's because you're not a black male (and neither am I, I'm a white woman) we don't fully understand. If I were the mother of a young black man, I wouldn't advise him to go to cops for help when he's in trouble like white people tell our kids to do. Really, that was a part of my kid's education - if you are in trouble, look around for a mother with children or a cop or security guy. I wouldn't give that same advice if my son were Black.

YouTube Dave Chapelle. He's a black comedian, and he's hilarious. Gentle, funny, sweet man. One of his best bits is Dave Chapelle and his white friend Chip. It's a very lighthearted, funny discussion of how Black young men feel about cops.

I hope this isn't a violation of TOS. It's just a perspective.

Is the Tim Pool broadcast still live? It is confusing with his references to the time being almost midnight.

Louis XVI and Nicholas II say hi.

Neither won a victory against the American government so I'm not sure of your point.

Tim Pool reporting that he was told by someone (protester, 🤬🤬🤬🤬, IDK) that it's not going to stop until "they arrest this guy", meaning Officer Wilson.

He also reported hearing more gunfire as he fled the scene.

He's trying to get to Florrisant.

Stay safe Tim!!!

Oh, there is Tim! Many thanks for the link. I checked and checked and for some reason was not getting feed. Now I am. Thanks again.
I really like the way Tim reports, I think very highly of him. I won't go into comparing the other guy reporting and how I feel about him.

“The sheer number of bullets and the way they were scattered all over his body showed this police officer had a brazen disregard for the very people he was supposed to protect in that community,” Mr. Crump said. “We want to make sure people understand what this case is about: This case is about a police officer executing a young unarmed man in broad daylight.”


we all all see what we want to see. Smh

Imo Crump has rocks for brains.

I must live a very sheltered life. Thru the many years, I have lived in California, New Jersey, Georgia, Alabama and now for more than 3 decades in Texas and I never remember hearing F _ _ k said in public with every other breath like these protestors.

Unfortunately I hear it on the daily. This IS a normal manner of speech and conversation in more depressed areas such as the one I reside. Not every speaks this way, but it is not at all uncommon IME.

I am the mother of a black son.
I taught my son to respect laws and the police. I don't make excuses for criminal behavior. My son actually wants a career in law enforcement .....I am trying my best to dissuade him...

Why are people so cavalier about other people's pain? A an alleged veteran was teargassed and this is LOL material? I don't get the humor...

Didn't I repeatedly hear law enforcement tell them to leave???

His arms may have been raised after the first shots; the head shots were the last ones.

It's possible, but based on the "he was running away, shot in the back" mis truths how are we supposed to believe his arms were in the air?

Well, Linda, I taught my sons to respect the law and police too. And I don't make excuses for criminal behavior. AND, one of my sons wants a career in law enforcement also and is going to college with that in mind . .. and I'm also trying my best to dissuade him. We have a lot in common. ;D

He was double jointed and his arms were backwards at the time?
