Clearest case yet of willing suicide by cop martyr operation in war on police. Only case that shows clear indication of a political motive to confront police, motivated by rage against police violence and black nationalism.
1 killed, police officer fired August 7, 2015 Christian Taylor Unarmed Black Man Shot Breaking Into Cars By White Cop In a suburb of Dallas, a new police officer being trained shot and killed unarmed African American Christian Taylor after he broke into cars and deliberately crashed his Jeep into the showroom of a car dealer. He was unfazed by a taser shot, advanced toward Miller, who fired one warning shot. Taylor kept advancing, and Miller fired three more times. Taylor had recently become angered over black civil rights and police violence against blacks, and cited assassinated Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X to justify "sometimes you have to be destructive to get what you want.” A Washington Post headline asked "Did unarmed teen seek confrontation" speculating that the youth may have deliberately sought what one commenter called "martyrdom" by cop in a war on police. In previous cases such as Michael Brown, no one had come up with any conceivable motive why a young man with a promising future would deliberately charge suicidally towards a cop when he had shown no indication of any political motive.
Taylor was watched by a guard on video, and ignored the alarms and warning to leave by the video guard who said that police had been called. When an officer arrived, Taylor held up a set of keys and said he was going to steal a car, he defied orders to surrender. Then he was shouting and advancing toward officers even after they fired a first shot. One officer pulled out his taser to subdue Taylor, while the other pulled out his gun and one of the officers on the scene shot and killed him. Some speculated it looked like, but he was not high on drugs. Taylor was an honor student from a tight-knit family, a rising sophomore football player in Angelo State University The officer was fired for confronting Taylor without backup or plane for a peaceful resolution. But the Washington Post speculates that Taylor was luring police into a confrontation. He had posted on Twitter to condemn racist policing. "friends and family said, a religious awakening left him talking obsessively about social justice and his desire to be a black leader". He preferred Nation of Islam figure Malcolm X over peaceful MLK, as friend J’von Varra recalled “He said he felt like sometimes you have to be destructive to get what you want.” On Moday Aug10, demonstrators held a rally and a march Monday at which people held placards bearing the names of people who have died at the hands of police. 49-year-old Brad Miller, had recently graduated from the police academy in March 2015 and was still in field training working under the supervision of a training officer, Taylor’s great uncle, Clyde Fuller, told the Star-Telegram that Taylor was “a good kid” and that “something doesn’t sound right” about the police account. Fuller said he didn’t believe his great-nephew would burglarize the dealership and thinks “something is going on that somebody is lying about.” tag “#ChristianTaylor” has been mentioned over 140,000 times on social media as Taylor’s name becomes the latest in a growing list of young people of color killed in police altercations. According to The Guardian, 695 people have been killed by U.S. police so far in 2015.
Nearly identical case of police shooting an unarmed WHITE football player who broke into a car dealership and trashing cars who ignored taser and crashed through a window: 1 killed July 5, 2015 Police Shoot Unarmed John Deming Church Band Athlete Going Berserk at Exotic Car Dealer At a Pleasanton CA exotic car dealer, police responding to a burglar alarm found a masked man marking up and jumping on a showroom full of Ferrari's, Corvettes and $115,000 Cadillac's. He crashed through a window, shrugged off taser shots and beat a policeman nearly senseless until he had to shoot, and continued fighting even after shot. Father doesn't believe his son would hurt a spider, he was a musician in his church band who recently graduated from Piedmont Hills High in San Jose, where he was a defensive lineman on the varsity football team. "Never bullied anybody" Seems like white church choirboy version of "minding his own business" Michael Brown shot for no reason at all by lying police. High profile lawyer: "What you find is that there was an unarmed 19-year-old who was 150 pounds and who was sitting on the car," Meiselas said. "They expect the public to believe that John Jr. was the aggressor in this situation. That is completely and utterly ridiculous."

The Christian Post aug 8 - Christian Taylor, 19 and Officer Brad Miller, 49. .day before he was fatally shot "multiple times" by an Arlington police officer responding to a break-in report at the Classic Buick GMC dealership in Texas shortly after 1 a.m. last Friday, 19-year-old Angelo State University sophomore Christian Taylor tweeted: "Devil get up off me … forever."
, 19-year-old Angelo State University sophomore Christian Taylor tweeted: "Devil get up off me … forever."
Taylor, who was breaking into and vandalizing cars on the gated lot, was shot and killed by rookie Arlington Police Officer Brad Miller, 49, who was undergoing supervised field training when he fired four shots during an alleged confrontation with Taylor, who according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office, died of gunshot wounds in the neck, chest and abdomen.
Reacting to Taylor's death, tennis star Serena Williams tweeted a message Friday, saying, "Really??????!!!!!!!!!!? are we all sleeping and this is one gigantic bad nightmare? #ChristianTaylor how many hashtags now?"
As people search for answers to why he broke into a car dealership at 1 a.m. and was subsequently shot and killed, Taylor's ominous tweets under his user name October 13th, referencing his birthday, on Twitter in the days leading up to his death shows an angst-filled individual who was publicly crying out for help.
He vented on the ongoing battle between rappers like Drake and Meek Mill, racism and not wanting to die young. He was also reportedly religious and was apparently looking to turn his life around.
After the tweet about the devil leaving him alone forever, Taylor, in an apparent cry to God, noted: "I pray he sends me someone to make me feel complete."
During the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Koinonia Christian Church in Arlington, where about 100 of Taylor's classmates gathered to mourn his death, Senior Pastor Ronnie Goines said he had come to him a month ago and wanted to reach teenagers with the Gospel of Jesus, according to the Star Telegram.
"For the last month and a half he [Taylor] talked about how he wanted to change the world and how he wanted to get the message of Jesus Christ out to the teens here before he died," sa
Taylor, however, revealed he was overcoming fear of attacks from the devil and he was getting to a point where he had no fear.
"Never believe in fear again. Y'all have seen my change and was like wtf. ... I'm a whole new person. ... Watch …They say never trust your first instinct. ... What if your first instinct is what God what you to follow? Think," Taylor wrote.
"Devil gon try to work if you allow him. ... Make a open palm. And say this is you. Destroy him without your hand that simple and say to never. People gon think you crazy af. ... Channel all that into positive. ... So that you can't see evil just submit to a higher cause as soon as it is," he noted before later retweeting the words "In God I trust."
Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, however, Adrian Taylor, one of Christian Taylor's older brothers, told WFAA that his brother had deep faith, was an accomplished student athlete in both track and football, and didn't deserve to die the way he did.
general manager of the dealership, called Taylor's death "a tragedy for all people involved" on Saturday. He noted, however, that the teenager was asked to leave even after he had damage vehicles on the lot before police arrived.
"People should be aware that this was not an accident by the man when he drove into the dealership," said Lancaster. "He had already damaged autos on the lot and was told by the video company to leave the premises and that police had been called."

This happens repeatedly–although, it should be remembered, in a number of instances that you can almost count on your fingers and toes, in a country of 320 million. Michael Brown’s case was a classic. The “gentle giant” robbed a convenience store, shoved the clerk aside, walked down the middle of the road, and, when questioned by Officer Darren Wilson, responded by beating on Wilson through his open vehicle window and trying to steal his gun. When the gun discharged, Brown ran. Wilson got out of his car and demanded that Brown stop and surrender; instead of doing so, the 6′ 4″, 292-pound Brown charged Wilson. What could possibly make him think that was a good idea?
White college football player John Deming tellingly died doing exactly the same thing, ignoring a taser hit after trashing a car dealership in California. The chances of this being a coincidence and unconnected are zero, but he had no links to radical politics
This is the point I really want to make: the constant emphasis on police shootings of *unarmed* men that we see in the press is, for the most part, crazy. If you are a perp, or a suspect, or an inoffensive person walking down the street, you may be unarmed, but the police officer is not. Nor, in most cases, will he have any immediate way to know whether you are armed or not. If you attack him, what do you expect him to do?
Aug 8- 19 year-old Christian Taylor was shot dead this week after driving a car... just another innocent unarmed black man shot dead by police thugs.
by Esternial » Sun Aug 09, 2015 5:39 amAnother unarmed (African American) young man was shot and killed by a police officer today.
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/09/us/te ... index.html
Here's a video on the story. From the video footage, it's evident that Taylor was engaged in criminal activity, damaging cars in a car dealership.
Seeing the video, I couldn't help but feel confused regarding Taylor's motive for doing that. Could it be possible that he wanted the police to respond? Or was he just looking to do vandalism for good fun?
The details are scare and very vague, but after that the police arrived. One officer pulled out his taser to subdue Taylor, while the other pulled out his gun and one of the officers on the scene shot and killed him. Apparently there was an altercation preceding that shooting.
Personally, I don't see why you need a gun (rather than a taser or another non-lethal weapon most officers have available) against someone who's unarmed, altercation or not.
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/unarmed-blac ... -he-feared
I found this article, which illustrates that Taylor very much feared that this would happen. It's incredibly tragic.
Days before he was shot and killed by a police officer Friday in Arlington, Texas, 19-year-old Christian Taylor feared for his life.
“I don’t wanna die too younggggg,” the black college football player posted July 30 on his Twitter account, which makes reference to his fear of dying and his distrust of law enforcement, especially around key dates in the deaths of unarmed black men Michael Brown and Eric Garner at the hands of police.
One week later, and just two days before the anniversary of Brown’s death, Taylor became the latest unarmed black man to be shot and killed by a police officer.
One week later, and just two days before the anniversary of Brown’s death, Taylor became the latest unarmed black man to be shot and killed by a police officer.
UPDATE: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/12/us/ar ... .html?_r=0
But in Tuesday’s news conference, Chief Johnson offered a detailed account of the confrontation, saying that Mr. Taylor never made physical contact with any of the officers at the scene and indicating that Officer Miller’s own actions had escalated the confrontation.
This would be fairly condemning for the officer in question and for me, personally, removes most - if not all - of my doubt that this young man's death was unjustified.
It's sad, as is any pointless death. I'm also a little concerned by the fear that's beginning to spread throughout the population. I don't really see how law enforcement can protect and serve the people if more and more people fear them. On the flipside, police officers may also begin to fear the people they're supposed to protect - fearing rash acts of revenge using legally acquired firearms.
I get the ominous feeling that the American population is beginning to enter a state of mutual distrust between them and the people that are supposed to protect them, which isn't a healthy atmosphere for anyone.
Aside from the topic of this particular shooting, how do you stand on the relationship between law enforcement/general public yourself?
If you have more information/better articles feel free to post them and I'll update the OP.

Fired After Fatally Shooting Unarmed College Student

iBrad Miller was fired from the police force in Arlington, Texas, on Tuesday, after the department's chief said he was troubled with how Miller acted in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man Friday.Reuters /Landov
Days after a police officer in the Dallas-Fort Worth area city of Arlington fatally shot a young man at a car dealership, Arlington's police chief says that Officer Brad Miller has been fired.
Protesters are calling for criminal charges and police reforms, citing what they call a pattern of violence. Demonstrators held a rally and a march Monday at which people held placards bearing the names of people who have died at the hands of police. Miller, 49, is white; he shot Christian Taylor, 19, who is black.
The shooting occurred in the early hours of Friday, after police received a 911 call from someone who said that "a 'thin black man with a blond mohawk' was seen jumping on the windshield of a gray Ford Mustang," according tomember station KERA.
That young man was Taylor, a football player at Angelo State University in West Texas. Police say security camera footage shows Taylor damaging vehicles on the lot and driving a car through the dealership's glass doors. Taylor was shot multiple times after the officer, who was in training, confronted him in the car dealer's showroom.
From Dallas, KERA's Lauren Silverman reports:
"Rookie Officer Brad Miller was responding to a reported burglary when he shot Taylor on Friday. At first he was placed on administrative leave, but after reviewing the facts, Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson said that wasn't enough.
" 'Officer Miller exercised inappropriate judgment by entering the building alone,' Johnson said, adding that the decision 'created an environment of cascading consequences that produced an unrecoverable outcome.'
"Johnson says he has serious concerns about why the officer used deadly force. A decision about whether Miller's actions were criminal though, he says, will be up to the district attorney."
The police chief also relayed more of what happened that morning. The Dallas Morning News reports, "Johnson said at one point, Taylor and one officer talked to each other on either side of locked glass doors at the showroom. The officer said he told Taylor to surrender. Instead, Taylor held up a set of keys and said he was going to steal a car, police said."

ARLINGTON, Tex. — Christian Taylor was an honor student from a tight-knit family, a rising sophomore who seemed destined to make the starting lineup this fall for the Angelo State University Rams. Yet he had long shown signs of a roiling heart.
In December, he took to Twitter to condemn racist policing. And a few weeks before he died, friends and family said, a religious awakening left him talking obsessively about social justice and his desire to be a black leader.
Days later, security cameras captured Taylor, 19, calmly casing an Arlington car dealership, patiently kicking out the windshield of a gray Mustang and deliberately crashing his Jeep SUV into the dealership showroom. He ignored blaring burglar alarms and, when police arrived, allegedly defied orders to surrender, shouting and advancing toward officers even after they fired a first shot.
Late Tuesday, Arlington police fired officer Brad Miller, the white rookie who shot and killed Taylor, who was black and unarmed. But Taylor’s bewildering behavior just two days before the first anniversary of the controversial police shooting of a black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., has left grieving friends mystified and wondering why Taylor left home that night. [close to anniversary of Michael Brown]
... Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson said Miller, 49, a trainee with no previous police experience, violated department protocol by pursuing Taylor alone into the dealership showroom without backup and without a plan for a peaceful arrest.

There may be a clue to Taylor's state of mind ... when he experienced his religious epiphany he invoked the images of both Rev. King and Malcolm X. Not only are their philosophies antithetical to one another, but they aren't even in the same religious arena -- King a Protestant and Malcolm a member of the Nation of Islam.
I think that point alone is a reflection of how muddled his thinking was.

Everybody is wondering why Taylor sought to damage the Mustang and why he drove his SUV through the glass.
Yet one of his friends said: “He said he felt like sometimes you have to be destructive to get what you want.”
WHY do some people turn to destruction to 'get what they want'? WHY?
All you get from destruction is more people against you.
To be treated better, you have to behave better. You have to become part of a civilized society, not behave in a criminally destructive manner.
You have to obey laws of society, not constantly challenge laws like petulant non-thinking idiots.
Too many young black men think they are macho and brave to challenge law enforcement officers. That's not macho and not brave. Challenges and destruction are anti-social behavior and that's not tolerated by civilized society, so you're hurting your own cause by indulging in that kind of behavior.
How long is it going to take to learn that simple lesson?
You assume the risk of getting shot when you behave unlawfully. Period.

I still argue that well trained peace officers have non-lethal methodologies at their deposal. The officer was a rookie and perhaps his lack of experience played a part in his decision but bottom line is that deadly force is always a last resort. Going hands on or the use of a night stick or taser is preferable. The kid had no weapon. You put your gun away and use other methods or you let the kid run off. You have a description and other responding officers probably would have caught him.

Perhaps we need to look more carefully at the UK system. There, firearms are very carefully controlled within the departments. An officer has to be on the force for a length of time and received at least one promotion before even being considered for firearms training. And, having qualified, keeps his/her firearm in a locker on the premises unless needed for a specific assignment. Moreover, UK officers are not "always on" but work shifts and then are ordinary subjects like anyone else ... and their guns are in the station house, not their pockets.

As a long time law enforcement veteran, I've been in this situation many times. I've had felony suspects refuse to follow commands and taunt me to shoot them several times. The bottom line is, if they don't have a gun or knife you have to resort to other methods of arrest. Sometimes really BAD things happen when you are a cop. This officer was in a BAD situation but based on what I saw he should have used a taser or gone hands-on short of using deadly force. Cops face these types of incidents quite often. In gang infested areas in particular, hardened criminals do not always obey commands and know the police cannot shoot unless they display and knife or gun. As a former police executive I would have, based on the video, fired the officer and of course refer the case to the District Attorney. No doubt the officer was scared but he could have let the suspect run away or gone hands on if he was so intent on stopping the subject.

Cops are taught to use a night stick or taser and we have defensive tactics training. YOU cannot use deadly force when confronted with non-deadly force! The kid was NOT using deadly force. Cops cannot shoot people because they don't follow commands unless they exhibit an immediate deadly threat or have a deadly weapon.

I am a veteran (30-plus years) reporter for several large newspapers and magazines, with, I hope, a deserved reputation for fairness. It is good that the Washington Post has dug this up and reported it, but once again, the uncritical herd mentality has crept into it. "Unarmed black teenager" has become a buzzword that automatically conditions the reader to think "white police brutality and racial injustice." In this case, the police officer stupidly, perhaps, in regard to his own safety, charged into the building after the suspect, but when the suspect charged him, he realistically had little choice but to fire. Common sense says he can't calmly wait until the suspect knifes him or shoots him to determine if he's "armed." The Ferguson reporting is marked by similar journalistic sins. It is repeatedly reported that the black man ("teenager" implies youth and an aura of innocence; this guy was legally an adult) was unarmed. He was not. As it came out in the Grand Jury proceedings, he had reached into the officer's car, and had his hand on the officer's gun, attempting to take it away from him. There were powder burns on his hand, indicating he actually was grasping the weapon when the first shot was fired. At that point, not only was he "armed," he had demonstrated his intent to kill the officer. Yet the Washington Post and most media repeatedly phrase it that the Grand Jury "declined to indict" the officer, a passive-voice phrasing that pointedly omits that it did so in part because of the aforementioned fact. I won't ascribe motive to the reporting, but I suggest that it is simply bad journalism to omit such a crucially important fact.

"Destructive"? I don't think Martin Luther King would ever have agreed to that. That is not Christian.
Taylor's destructive actions are what led to “an environment of cascading consequences.” If what he wanted was an early death caused by gunshot wounds to his neck, chest and abdomen, he got it.

This is a sad tale, primarily because it confirms the dangers of seeking confrontations with the police. Hey, maybe the kid wanted to make a point! Well, the point he made was the one I made at the top.
If the cop gets fired or if he is convicted of anything (very doubtful) the kid is still dead and his family is still devastated. This misguided kid did not get what he deserved. What he got was a fairly logical consequence of a series of really bad decisions.

There may be a clue to Taylor's state of mind ... when he experienced his religious epiphany he invoked the images of both Rev. King and Malcolm X. Not only are their philosophies antithetical to one another, but they aren't even in the same religious arena -- King a Protestant and Malcolm a member of the Nation of Islam.
I think that point alone is a reflection of how muddled his thinking was.

Everybody is wondering why Taylor sought to damage the Mustang and why he drove his SUV through the glass.
Yet one of his friends said: “He said he felt like sometimes you have to be destructive to get what you want.”
WHY do some people turn to destruction to 'get what they want'? WHY?
All you get from destruction is more people against you.
To be treated better, you have to behave better. You have to become part of a civilized society, not behave in a criminally destructive manner.
You have to obey laws of society, not constantly challenge laws like petulant non-thinking idiots.
Too many young black men think they are macho and brave to challenge law enforcement officers. That's not macho and not brave. Challenges and destruction are anti-social behavior and that's not tolerated by civilized society, so you're hurting your own cause by indulging in that kind of behavior.
How long is it going to take to learn that simple lesson?
You assume the risk of getting shot when you behave unlawfully. Period.

I still argue that well trained peace officers have non-lethal methodologies at their deposal. The officer was a rookie and perhaps his lack of experience played a part in his decision but bottom line is that deadly force is always a last resort. Going hands on or the use of a night stick or taser is preferable. The kid had no weapon. You put your gun away and use other methods or you let the kid run off. You have a description and other responding officers probably would have caught him.

Perhaps we need to look more carefully at the UK system. There, firearms are very carefully controlled within the departments. An officer has to be on the force for a length of time and received at least one promotion before even being considered for firearms training. And, having qualified, keeps his/her firearm in a locker on the premises unless needed for a specific assignment. Moreover, UK officers are not "always on" but work shifts and then are ordinary subjects like anyone else ... and their guns are in the station house, not their pockets.

As a long time law enforcement veteran, I've been in this situation many times. I've had felony suspects refuse to follow commands and taunt me to shoot them several times. The bottom line is, if they don't have a gun or knife you have to resort to other methods of arrest. Sometimes really BAD things happen when you are a cop. This officer was in a BAD situation but based on what I saw he should have used a taser or gone hands-on short of using deadly force. Cops face these types of incidents quite often. In gang infested areas in particular, hardened criminals do not always obey commands and know the police cannot shoot unless they display and knife or gun. As a former police executive I would have, based on the video, fired the officer and of course refer the case to the District Attorney. No doubt the officer was scared but he could have let the suspect run away or gone hands on if he was so intent on stopping the subject.

What is this hands on crap ? Police officers should not ever have to resort to defend themselves with their hands ! That is why they carry a firearm . We hire police officers to protoect lives and property . This needs to be taught to citizens from an early age.

Cops are taught to use a night stick or taser and we have defensive tactics training. YOU cannot use deadly force when confronted with non-deadly force! The kid was NOT using deadly force. Cops cannot shoot people because they don't follow commands unless they exhibit an immediate deadly threat or have a deadly weapon.

I am a veteran (30-plus years) reporter for several large newspapers and magazines, with, I hope, a deserved reputation for fairness. It is good that the Washington Post has dug this up and reported it, but once again, the uncritical herd mentality has crept into it. "Unarmed black teenager" has become a buzzword that automatically conditions the reader to think "white police brutality and racial injustice." In this case, the police officer stupidly, perhaps, in regard to his own safety, charged into the building after the suspect, but when the suspect charged him, he realistically had little choice but to fire. Common sense says he can't calmly wait until the suspect knifes him or shoots him to determine if he's "armed." The Ferguson reporting is marked by similar journalistic sins. It is repeatedly reported that the black man ("teenager" implies youth and an aura of innocence; this guy was legally an adult) was unarmed. He was not. As it came out in the Grand Jury proceedings, he had reached into the officer's car, and had his hand on the officer's gun, attempting to take it away from him. There were powder burns on his hand, indicating he actually was grasping the weapon when the first shot was fired. At that point, not only was he "armed," he had demonstrated his intent to kill the officer. Yet the Washington Post and most media repeatedly phrase it that the Grand Jury "declined to indict" the officer, a passive-voice phrasing that pointedly omits that it did so in part because of the aforementioned fact. I won't ascribe motive to the reporting, but I suggest that it is simply bad journalism to omit such a crucially important fact.

"Destructive"? I don't think Martin Luther King would ever have agreed to that. That is not Christian.
Taylor's destructive actions are what led to “an environment of cascading consequences.” If what he wanted was an early death caused by gunshot wounds to his neck, chest and abdomen, he got it.

This is a sad tale, primarily because it confirms the dangers of seeking confrontations with the police. Hey, maybe the kid wanted to make a point! Well, the point he made was the one I made at the top.
If the cop gets fired or if he is convicted of anything (very doubtful) the kid is still dead and his family is still devastated. This misguided kid did not get what he deserved. What he got was a fairly logical consequence of a series of really bad decisions.

Young unarmed white males rob every day. Care is given by white policeman not to murder them. Arresting and convicting them is appropriate. This was not a private residence. No one was being harmed. It was a painted piece of metal wrapped around a motor with wheels attached. This item is called a "car"????? Black human life is valued as less than a lion's in America. There is no balance in compassion.
Christian Taylor deserved a trial not a funeral.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold..But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24: 12 13& 14

Our ancestors didn't get beaten and lynched so we can act a fool up in here, nor lose our minds up in here. You won't see me playing with fire, because I might get burned. Don't play with the cops, you might get killed. If it turns out that he snapped there's nothing anyone can do, but a lot of young black men have been guilty of drawing the law to their side, then running. Don't misunderstand, sometimes, even when you cooperate, you get killed, because maybe you cringed after getting hit a few times. Even so, I hope people will take a case by case basis. That said, that rookie cop is too old, 49, to just be starting a crazy, dangerous, fast reflex demanding job like that. The military cut off is 35. We don't get the crème de la crème, necessarily, to join the police force. They're attitudes and aggressive behavior is worse that football players. Check out the stats of police brutality against their wives. So, ditto on my original statement. Stop playin' with the cops.

A white male was caught last week and the officer was praised because he was able to make an arrest when the man had a knife.
This man was unarmed and possible had a mental disorder. The cop who shot him shot 4 bullets into his chest and was a 45 year old rookie.
Black people are naturally more aggressive and are portrayed as such in media and news. This might explain why the cop felt it was necessary to shoot the unarmed black man while a white man with a knife was arrested.

+oziumzx Well, if the police acted like this (video) all the time it would make the headlines for sure. Of course the majority of officers are what you'd expect (in a good way). I guess it also depends on the area they are stationed in.

The faster you realize that basketball-americans as a general rule are a bunch of racist hypocrites who have it out for white people, and that their behavior only proves this the moment you apply their "only doing it because they hate whitey" ideology to their actions, the better off you'll be.
I picked up on this very quickly after watching the reaction's of pretty much every black in the country when the OJ verdict came out.
I will NEVER forget that as long as I live.
I was at a Job Corp campus with 650 blacks on campus, not including staff members, when the OJ thing was going on....and the one thing that always stuck with me is how EVERY single basketball-American on campus acted like they all just won the powerball lotto and the superbowl when OJ got away with killing two white people.
It's not like everyone didn't know he was guilty as all fucking hell, but that didn't matter one fucking bit to them.
All they cared about was a fellow black man got away with murdering white people.
What made it all so eye opening for me was the fact that even the ones I didn't think we "like that" chimped out just as quick and hard as the ones that wore their racism on their sleeve's (which is the vast majority).
Oh, and my experience was repeated all over the country, as evidenced at all the TV footage that ran for weeks showing blacks screaming at white people and making asses of themselves after the verdict by celebrating it like it was fucking New Years.
White people around the country were red-pilled that day.....I know I certainly was.
Never forget that blacks are 1000x the racists whitey ever was.

Eh, I doubt they were following the case thoroughly, a lot of black people believed he was innocent without doing any research on the facts. I know this because I remember how many thought he wasn't guilty by default, same thing with Michael Jackson.

I guess my whiteness and the Rebel flag is to blame.
