....Apparently it's ok to kill tax evaders in America now. You dare get caught selling untaxed cigarettes...you better watch your ass! Go find some real crimes...f***. Agreed, I'm appalled they'd kill a man over what amounts to minor tax evasion. Sadly in a lot jurisdictions nonviolent crimes such as property crime have more stringent penalties that violent crimes including certain sex based offenses. Society has gotten badly f***ed up in recent decades. Somewhere Wesley Snipes is happy he's famous.

Bullshit.
The first rule of being a police officer should be, if you want to be one, you can't be one.

I saw on Facebook that the person who took the video is getting indicted.
I haven't had the chance to really go through the article in detail to see if it sounds legit.

With this, Ferguson and the 12 year-old who was shot and killed a few days ago, I wonder how many more it's going to take before some kind of actual measure is taken and the American justice system stops not only letting murderers get away with their crimes, but allow them to keep carrying weapons as part of their job. ...and I quote: "Once again we have an incident born totally out of disrespect for any type of authority. What is so difficult about complying with the requests from a police officer. If you feel he is arresting without just cause, the system will provide you with an opportunity to tell your side of the story.
If Eric Holder and others are concerned about black people getting a fair hearing, let him and the hundreds of thousands of other black and ultra liberal defense attorneys in this country create an organization that defends these people for free. They would discover very quickly that 99% of their clients were hopelessly guilty!"Another... "The police didn't kill this man. He was obviously over weight and unhealthy before this incident started. He could have just as easily collapsed and died if he had attempted a brief jog. The stupidity of young and old liberals in this country has reached an all time high. You can thank the unmentionables who control the dialogue in the media for taking advantage of isolated incidences like this to further their agenda of divide and conquer."One more for the road... "I just don't get these stupid people...The courts did what they were supposed to do and they still aren't happy...What do these idiots think? They can just disobey the laws and there won't be any retaliation? I don't give a dam what color your skin is, you screw up and get caught there will be consequence, do or die..All this rioting is doing is making it worse on the blacks and making them look like fools in the eyes of others (except blacks) I am guessing because they are black the rules don't apply? Give me a break, I am sick and tired of all this BS..Give it a rest and go read black on black crime news you will see how common it is. Blacks are the only ones who make an issue out of being black, sounds like they have issues with themselves.."
Just some examples of how some in America think. The American system will change when the voice FOR change is louder than these types. If America REALLY wanted change, then perhaps more than 36% of America would have voted. Americans are more willing to fight over Chinese imported consumer products on Black Friday than liberty, freedom, or human rights issues.

A cop basically murders a guy on camera, and still the grand jury declines to charge.
It doesn't get more blatant than that.

I live in a household with a few of my friends. One of them being a black woman and her 3 children. This whole thing has set race relations back so far that it's not even funny. I've seen it bring distrust of white people out of my friend. I wish there was mpre I could do about it.

The thing that pisses me off the most is the amount of mental gymnastics people play to rationalize these cops who kill these individuals. Like, it's easier to believe that 12-year old in Cleveland threatened the cop than to believe the cop was f***ing incompetent.

There are so many things I could say that would get me banned from this forum so all I'll say is that it's an absolute disgrace that there's going to be nothing to come from this. The ****ing video is on the internet for everyone else to see for ****s sake.
It's like instead of evolving as a society we've somehow managed to devolve.

If America REALLY wanted change, then perhaps more than 36% of America would have voted. Americans are more willing to fight over Chinese imported consumer products on Black Friday than liberty, freedom, or human rights issues. Hmm, a few things. I'm not sure who the source (I'm guessing Charles Barkley) of the italicized quotes are, but they aren't living in reality. Dude in South Carolina followed cops instructions and got shot at 4 times at a gas station. Using "black on black crime" ignores the fact that people commit crimes close to the people near them (it's why "white on white crime" occurs at damn near the same rate) and that they don't know or speak to that many black people. We talk about it ALL the time. And it ignores that when regular folks kill people, they are locked up & brought to trial. Can't say the same for police. Also, agents of the state are held to a much higher standard and should be treated as such. On the voting front, we (New Yorkers and overwhelmingly black people) voted for Bill DeBlasio (who, I should say, I like a lot) and he put in a commissioner that is a major proponent of the useless "Broken Windows" theory and loves him some stop and frisk. I'll bet my life if people weren't out there raising hell, nobody nationally would care about what happened in Ferguson, Cleveland, Staten Island, and everywhere else a black person is killed by the police. It's disingenuous to say "Y'all need to vote" when the people we DO vote in all live on that tough on crime trash

I say this as a Black lame, the issue isn't there are more good cops than bad, or even if race plays much of a factor. There has been to many incidents where we've seen police officers abuse their power and harm citizens. There was even a case in Utah where a Black officer shot a White citizen and was cleared. The system is deeply flawed and racist, but it helps to instill power to those who should protect us. I have a thing I would like to say about Congress and politicians who help this, but I may get banned. I'll hold my tongue.

I'd love to be able to say my piece about how f***ed up and wrong the jury decision is and how this kind of bullshit keeps happening at an alarming rate. Or I could say how this sort of shit makes me fearful for the safety of my black friends in larger areas. Or how stuff like this is exactly why I want to work as a lawyer for the ACLU in the future. But the last time I said anything like that, several of the people kicking around this board filled my PM box up to let me know how wrong I am for not wanting to see innocent people killed by authority figures so I won't say anything.

I'm not a mod, but I can assure you that you don't have to say you're not going to say something because its political.
You can just not say it.
