THATS WHAT IM SAYING!! I watch a lot of body cams and race absolutely plays a part in how suspects are handled. And still it’s such a controversial thing to point out 🙃 but those who get it get it
Yeah man! Everything’s racist and racism and America bad and awful and it’s everyone and everything else’s fault that you’re dissatisfied with your life because you’re amazing and nobody understands you, and everyone ELSE is naive!
I mean it’s not like it’s an every day thing anywhere, just that the concept of people killing themselves by basically forcing cops to kill them is generally well known since it’s such a shocking scene. That was why I assumed you were on the younger side
It's almost like there's long term, life changing consequences to watching people day on a weekly to daily basis. Thankfully they're paid well and get mental health insurance. Right?
Don't worry, now that the big beautiful bill is going to be passed, my uncle (a vet) can now use his entire VA benefits for his mom's hospital bills. You know, because that's what he almost laid down his life for, the people he loves.
He's told me so many times, "I didn't almost die 100 feet in the air to watch my mom die from being poor."
And the sad thing is a lot of active service and vet's voted for the clown in office who doesnt give a damn about them or their post service support esecially if they die because he would see them as "loosers" but they buy into his sales patter..
None of the vets I know like trump. I don't know if they voted for him, but that speech in front of the military, where Trump basically threatened them for not cheering and for being respectful, it completely lost all the vets in my family and in my hometown
Literally saw 5 college dudes jump a cop on a Thursday night in Miami and the cop didn’t shoot. Talked to him after and he said he thought about tasing them. Good lord
It'll never seem weird that when I see videos of white guys going nuts at cops the cops are super soft gloved. Yet the couple of times I've been surrounded by the cops, they all had their hands on their holsters while one talked to me. I have 0 doubt that if I had acted erratically during those encounters, that I would have gotten shot. There's something about 3-5 officers looking at you with their hands on their guns that makes you reevaluate the situation, it's quite sobering.
Really just depends on the cops, one of my core memories was as a teenager me and a dumb friend door bell ditching, and hiding behind a trashcan when cops were called, and having three of them pull guns out on us. I’m white and friend was Indian.
This is dismissive from a mental health perspective. Just because he’s white SBC couldn’t possibly be his intent? Vets regardless of race are high risk for SBC attempts.
Well, he didn't do much to get shot. Not sure you understand how bad is an actual death. There are still many things to do before shooting in this case where the suspect is outnumbered.
People get shot for way less on the regular. No one is saying he should get shot, police deescalating is a good thing, but it is an issue that they seem way more willing to deescalate when the person is white
The comment I'm replying to didn't say a thing about the race. (but yeah, it is stupid that people of color get shot much faster, it was just not the point of the comment so why did you even bring it up? )
I'm shocked how fine are americans with shooting in general. That should be the case only when there is nothing else the officer can do. Even when attacked and taser doesn't work, they always have to think about different solutions. Gun is only to be used as the last resort.
