Two killed by police brutality in the USA

If you watch the videos, you can hear the police repeatedly shouting "drop the gun!", so while that isn't strictly a question, there was certainly a period of dialogue during which the issue could have been resolved non-violently.

I suppose that you could argue that the victim had no way of knowing that the police would be likely to open fire if he didn't drop the gun.

What is wrong with the US police these days? Can they actually do anything without shooting/killing someone?

This is why I'm proud to live in the UK - we don't have any nonsense like this over here!

The "Drop the gun" line is a VERY common thing the police say to black people to justify killing a black person

So the gun found at the scene with his DNA and fingerprints on was planted then? And I guess that it's all a plan by the Illuminati Lizard Kings?
*SMH*

Yes. That is exactly what I'm saying. In a system of white supremacy which the USA is. Whites can say anything. You have been told their was DNA. You have been told there was fingerprints.

What do you expect them to say "I killed him because was a n*gger and I don't like n*ggers" of course they are going to cover it up

What I'm saying is that the whole system is designed and set up to kill black people.

That's why there is routine when ever this happens, that is

Administrative leave: paid vacation for killer cops.

The blue wall of silence: the so-called good cops do not speak out against bad ones.

The press: presents the police account as more or less true while demonizing the dead victim, poisoning any possible jury.

The full and thorough investigation: determines the facts. Since in most cases it is carried out by the police themselves, it amounts to a cover-up.

Medical examiner: examines the body for cause and manner of death. Some medical examiners are in bed with the police, even making up stuff found in no medical book

Public prosecutor: almost always in bed with the police. They can charge a killer cop with a crime, but most kick it to a:

Grand jury: The prosecutor presents the investigation / cover-up to a secret grand jury. No press, no public, not even lawyers from the victim’s family are allowed. That keeps it out of the news. It also means the grand jury hears only the police side of the story. So they rarely bring an indictment of charges, but when they do it leads to a:

Trial: The trial jury will almost always have White people on it who have a sickeningly childlike belief in the honesty of the police, like they are still six years old (BMA 6). That means even if there are some sensible Black people (BMA 18+), the jury will at best deadlock, letting the killer cop walk free. Some trials, though, do not have juries, just a judge:

Judges: Most are unwilling to second-guess the police.

US Department of Justice: Have they ever sent a killer cop to prison?

Civil lawsuit: brought by the victim’s family for damages. Rarely affects the killer cop or the police since any damages are paid by taxpayers.

The five magic words: “I feared for my life.” Almost always gets them off. They do not even have to see a gun to be believed, just think they saw one. And if the victim is Black, even that is unnecessary: the Black Brute stereotype, held by news reporters, jurors and helicopter pilots, will do the rest.

Case closed. That's how it works

You seem people? Racism no longer exists!

You still haven't addressed my earlier point.

Also, nothing racist about what I posted.

What earlier point? Did it have anything to do with the topic at hand or was it plain whatabouttery?

Laughing at a well-known racial slur is racist.

5th reply.

I assume you have never laughed at any jokes about white people then?

Of course we will have an All lives matter advocate on here. Dissappointing
