Interesting how the black skin seems to determine if cops are in "fear for their lives."

Nope, that's just your warped lying imagination speaking.
Cops getting into fights will all races.....

It's only your lying liberalism that teaches you otherwise.

[_EAllusion]

There's some missing context here:

The officers state they didn't pull their guns because they were worried that it could have endangered themselves or others. That makes sense, given how he fought through being tased like a champ. Also, the guy was killed as a result of this conflict.

I guess you really wanted this as a title for a thread. Funny you had to change your title on another thread after it was pointed out that shots were fired with a group of white people, and I linked where police were fighting a black guy without shots being fired. This is not a good way to bring up the problem of racism in policing.

Oh yes Themis, you caught me red handed, how clever of you! I went googling for something like this just so I could keep the title, huh?

Why is that funny? My point still stands because shots were only fired after several minutes of wrestling and after one of the white guys shot at the cop first. And you think this is even remotely comparable to black people being shot at almost instantly? I've posted videos of the 12 year old kid being shot within two seconds after a cop car rode up on him. He had a BB gun and had no idea what was going on. I showed video of a black man reaching for his license as the officer requested of him, and then being shot within another two seconds. A black kid at Walmart being gunned down before he even knew what was going on. I'm sorry, but I've yet to see any videos like these dealing with white folks. Not saying they don't exist, just saying I haven't seen any.

You linked to the only example google would produce, and it appeared to be a staged fight and the video had no context to what was going on before or after. It didn't appear that they were trying to arrest him at all. He probably told them they were worthless pigs without those guns and said he could take both of them in a fair fight. The cops obliged, and that seems like a plausible scenario given the way they were standing like boxers and the cop threw the first punch as if he were in the ring.

This is not a good way to bring up the problem of racism in policing.

At least I'm bringing it up.

It was obvious. You had this title of another thread then changed it after I pointed out shots were fired. Then you make another thread with the same title. Of course though I provided a link to where police did not fire shots or bring out their guns while fighting a black person. People could trade back videos all day long and not get any where.

Ya shots were fired. Police do not always bring out their guns for black people who want to fight. I already demonstrated this. This is why trading videos does no good at establishing the problem of racism in policing.

And you think this is even remotely comparable to black people being shot at almost instantly?

We both know I never suggested it was. Each event has to be looked at separately.

I'm sorry, but I've yet to see any videos like these dealing with white folks. Not saying they don't exist, just saying I haven't seen any.

Probably because you are not looking for them. That doesn't mean there is not a problem.

I am sure you believe that.

At least I'm bringing it up.

I am just suggesting you are not doing it right here. Most people agree there is a problem and many are trying to make some changes. Sure there are going to be some racist idiots who don't think there is a problem.
