Man, 20, dies following police pursuit.

Not seeking a debate on racism. Often the presence of racism is acknowledged and then followed with a "but".

I was merely highlighting lack of empathy towards criminal, especially those of ethnic minorities.

Have a great day.

To some extent, yes, depending upon how you present yourself/speak/behave vs. quite how far to the right they are (also bearing in mind that you are a female, and hence perceived as being less of a direct threat than a young black male equivalent)

My points are always universally applicable, and universally applied, where this is concordant with truth and humanity. I have no time for people who allow narrow self-interest to distort their purported 'prinicples', particularly not where this runs into the realms of hypocrisy

BLM seem more like a hate group to me and there have been many instances of violence. Their bad behaviour has been excused because they are black. This cases appears to involve a seasoned criminal (at 20!) who killed himself because he didn't want to deal with the consequences of his actions. Nobody would give a damn if he was white, which is slightly disturbing.

How come in the case of the white woman that was killed by a Somali police officer, the bluelivesmatter brigade suddenly went silent.

I've noticed that when the victim of police brutality is a minority then everyone suddenly tries to justify the actions of the police officer no matter how innocent the victim might have been but when it's not there's deafening silence.
No one jumping to the defense of the black police officer because it must have been racially motivated but white on black police brutality is never racially motivated.

This automatically rubbishes the views of the people on this thread that jumped to defend the police without waiting for the investigation to be over.

Nowhere does it say that he died from an overdose, so stop making things up.

I'm not trying to make the UK America, but don't try and be sly by putting it all down to an overdose. If someone sat on your chest and choked you for two minutes, you would fall into unconsciousness too

I put in in inverted commas because it's not been proven yet lmao just you wait and see... we ain't in Texas

Him swaling a pill did not kill him. I think you are the moron if you actually think him swallowing a pill killed him. The officers clearly strangled him.

In the meantime, perhaps you should watch the footage.

Are you comparing a case where a woman called the police and was then shot by one of them with the police chasing someone and their death of currently unknown causes?

Not comparing it with this one in particular.
Just making a general observation with public reaction and how certain people are only insanely defensive of the police when it suits them. That is to say, if you look at some of the posts even in this thread you get the 'if you disrespect the police you deserve to be shot' mentality but that only applies to minority cases for them.
These types of people pop up with that excuse for every case where you have a minority shot at by police (even Philando Castille and the therapist of that autistic person) and demand that the police are always justified in their decisions and must be respected at all times plus deny the existence of racially motivated police brutality completely.
This line of reasoning didn't seem to apply with the Australian woman's death.

This issue just brought that up for me. Could've made a separate thread about it but

The Australian woman wasn't running form the police having been in a vehicle that had failed to stop, she was walking up to a police car she had called to report a crime, there are huge differences in both cases and it is disingenuous to even compare them in such a way.

The only real comparison is that we don't really know what actually happened in either cases.

I agree but I wasn't comparing these two specifically though.
Just making a point about people's reasoning in general when the conversation of police brutality comes up.
Maybe putting it in this thread made it seem that way?

In minority cases before knowing all the information: 'Im sure the police have a good reason/maybe the police officer was disrespected/fearing for his life'

In middle class white cases before knowing all the information: 'wow the police have really ****ed up there must be justice!'

Absolutely embarrassing

Yep just as I predicted👍🏻

You predicted that he died of an overdose.... An article detailing that the officer attempted to remove an object from his mouth by applying pressure on the mans neck doesn't confirm your prediction in the slightest

It can be seen that the officer is trying to remove whatever he swallowed.
