Police don't just murder black teens. In this case a white Arkansas seventeen year old was murdered for the crime of having a beater truck. This trigger happy bastard needs to be in prison.
This shit has got to end. Poor &/or "colored" & you are automatically fair game, it seems. Tho it will take years the whole concept of "policing" has got to change.
Qualified immunity needs to end, giving cops a "license to kill" has been a fail on every level.
Exactly. Police have the right to defend themselves and there are justified shootings. This was not. This was murder by a stupid, trigger happy, blood thirsty cop. I have friends and members of my family who are cops. None of them have ever shot anybody.
This exemplifies how out-of-control, poorly chosen "police" are a danger to Everyone,......they just started with persons of color.
I had a friend of mine who was having a mental health episode and was shot to death by a suburban cop. He was white and unarmed. That was 25 years ago.
On the bright side for him, the truck is no longer a problem.
That's not funny.
Cops do kill a lot of people. tRump was correct when he stated that cops shot more white people - BUT, not by percentage in any category of "crime."
The boy was murdered.
@barjoe Without a doubt.
