Cops have millions of interactions daily with the public to include white cops and black civilians and 99.9% of the time, we don’t have one of these unfortunate incidents take place. Why does the media create a narrative that this incident is common when statistically it’s not? Oh wait, I know, it’s election season!
Maggots like you never mention black on white murders that happen every day, or black on black murders that happen every day. Funny how that works.

BEAR, Del. – An 86-year-old Delaware man has died after police say 29-year-old Sheldon Francis shot the victim and his wife at a cemetery on Friday.
Police say the victim’s wife, an 85-year-old woman, died at the scene after being shot. The male victim was transported to a hospital in critical condition, but died on Saturday as a result of the injuries.
The shooting happened at Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery on Friday around 10:13 in the morning. Around noon, police say the suspect exchanged gunfire with police in a wooded area near the cemetery. It’s in that area that the suspect was found deceased around 4:00 p.m., according to police. It’s unclear if the suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, or during the exchange of gunfire with police.
Can you point out where you, yourself, mention white on black murder?
Seymour nails it with the charge. This is definitely a reckless murder which is a more serious manslaughter charge. I will not call cops pigs and I will not say that the police disproportionally kill blacks. In this case, the cop was a bad actor who needs to get punished harshly. This is unacceptable.
White on black crime and murder? Are you joking? The stats show that the vast majority of violent crimes are committed by blacks. And rioting does not help any cause. Looters and rioters deserve every rubber bullet, tear gas, wood shampoos and beatings as possible and it makes me quickly lose any interest in the cause they are protesting.
I will say there are a bunch of cops that think you owe them some special respect - with that said - only a fool is rude to them for no reason - it just doesn't help u in any situation - just don't be friends with them if that's the case - and also remember - every time the police get called it's not for a wedding or a graduation - it's for some bad behavior fueled by drugs and alcohol - and it's every day of their lives - that can wear u down
In my work for about a decade w LEAP I learned from dozens of retired LEO from across the country that the charge/claim of "Resisting Arrest" is as boilerplate to 70% of arrests as is writing in the date & time of the incident
For civilians of any race outside Really White that percentage went into the high 90%
His profile is very akin to serial domestic abusers
By that I mean to say that it's been demonstrated that upwards of 75%+ (yep) of police officers nationwide NEVER receive a complaint for Excessive Force against civilians.
The offenders fall within a relatively small minority group of well under 1 in 4 and having repeat complaints of EF likely reflect less than 10% of LEO nationwide
I am all about Unions and collective bargaining but it's reasonable to submit that most LEO Unions have managed in past 30+ years to hysterically oversell the true risk of on-the-job injury instigated against police by civilians. As such they have constructed incredible protections against any significant discipline and/or criminal charges for on the job actions
MOBD is correct that the best weapon by the civilian population is video recording any and all encounters w police
While 75%+ do their job honorably, the grim fact is that 10-20% will lie with impunity. And unlike, say a dishonest contractor or retail store employee lying to clients, the lies of LEOs can irrevocably destroy lives. Caveat emptor
I watched the tape of when they help the man up from sitting on the sidewalk and then walk him towards the car and he doesn't resist in any way. WTF happened between helping him up to when we then see the knee on his neck? When they helped him up from the sidewalk, why didn't this asshole just put him in the car? The arrest was over.
I'm trying to think of a good reason this cop's knee was on his neck for 6-8 minutes and I just can't think of one. He's going to prison for many years.

The "incidents" are not common wrt the ratio between such events v all other LEO-civilian encounters
What has been "common" for the past 100+ years in the USA is that small group of truly offending LEOs not being properly disciplined and/or charged (appropriately) with crimes
Thankfully, in the digital age this level of irresponsible oversight is being increasingly mitigated by the introduction of extensive video coverage and media expanding the reach of those videos.
Police nationwide have averaged killing civilians at the rate of between 12-1800 per year just in the 21st century. And we can probably name well under 100 in the past 20 years who have been truly prosecuted and convicted of a crime following such a killing.
That is an astonishing ratio and a more truthful and just accounting for *all* such killings is of benefit to both police and to civilians nationwide.
We are not served by asking for diminished coverage of such events. Rather, we are best served by as complete and detailed accounting as possible
It is absolutely the level of accounting that both You and I would demand were one of our family members or loved ones killed by a LEO. Therefore it is the level deserved for *all* such killings.
"Wanna Be" Small Poison MobDsters doing what SAVAGES do they give a Rats Ass about the DEAD CRIMINAL just an EXCUSE to be WHO & WHAT they are THUG Pieces of SHIT. The Rumor is that the BLACK MUSLIM CHIEF has given orders that the residents are INFIDELS and when they commit a Crime well you see the result its what BLACKS do they KILL BLACKS
I just don't agree with this at all. One, it's an opinion and two, it's opinion without context. When one discusses charging certain minority groups with crimes, one must present the statistics of crimes committed to paint the full picture.
We know black men kill other black men at a very high rate. Patrolling a largely black neighborhood on a nightly basis would make me extremely jumpy as well Barman. Now I'm not saying that is an excuse for any sort of abuse in any way but damn man, these guys are also trying to go home at night too.
In the 30 day window around this incident in MN (15 days before & 15 days after) police in the USA will kill 130 civilians.
It is likely reasonable that all but a very few - this one in MN and another few (one or two?)- could be and should be accurately logged as appropriate use of force. As such, there is likely very little mention of those 127 outside of their immediate jurisdictions.
Your post to which I replied asks "why does the media put so much emphasis on the very visible and seemingly criminal "one to three" inappropriate killings?"
Your question infers that "since these type killings are rare, they should not merit such intense media coverage"
My reply stands
It is urgent that the Very Few inappropriate killings of civilians by police be massively covered, exposed and lit up as brightly as possible.
That coverage is not needed for the 127or 128 killings that are in fact legal. It is only needed for cases where there is very probable cause to believe a crime has been committed by police
The alternative is to ignore such crimes and that of course is what leads that small minority of criminal cops to believe they are immune from consequences.
If you personally perceive such scrutiny of police officer conduct to be unwarranted, I will certainly not seek to further persuade you otherwise
