How do cops apprehend a white suspect (armed)

Black activists make a big deal out of it by organizing protests etc. When a white person is shot, no one speaks up for them. People just shrug and move on with their lives.

 

white people don't start riots drawing in the headline whoring media ... white people tend to accept we have bad apples amongst us and don't treat them as martyrs ... more of a "he had it coming to him" attitude ...

you're going to have to back that up with some facts ...

 

If police officers weren't under the threat of gun violence each and every day, there would still be some a-holes, but the number of lethal acts by the police would be reduced dramatically, and maybe completely, if not for the few idiot officers out there. Btw, there are "idiots" of all walks of life and jobs.

 

It should always be an absolute last resort when all other means have failed, and lives are absolutely in imminent danger. Other than that, it is better for police to stand down and take the criminal in a less volatile situation.

 

Plenty of white people get shot by cops too. It's not a phenomenon unique to black and brown people. Trying to make it a racial issue alienates people that might otherwise be your (and I've really come to detest this word lately) "ally".

 

Of course there are. I am, in no way, discounting that white people are also killed by cops. You can see my post history to know that I stand against ALL wrongful deaths by cops.

 

BTW, does anyone know "the rest of the story"? What happened after the OP's video ended? Did the cops get back in their vehicle(s) and pursue him? Did they spike-strip his tires? PIT his car? Did they shrug and go get dinner? Anyone know?

 

who is Daunte Wright?

If he was lawfully ordered to stay stopped and he just drove off, yes, shoot to stop. I don't care if it is the pope.

 

He's the latest reason they're looting Pizza Huts and Footlockers in Minnesota. Young guy with a warrant got stopped, pulled out of vehicle, cop tried to cuff him, he resisted and jumped back in his vehicle (I've heard rumors he had a gun in the vehicle with him, but haven't been able to confirm it yet), another (now-former) cop tried to tase him but mixed up her Taser and gun and shot him instead. He drove a few blocks and died. There have been riots and looting, so I'm sure you can deduce from that the races of the parties involved.

I don't think I'm quite on board with "just shoot everyone who drives away", but I do admire your consistency.

 

I have never understood why cops are issued guns yet run after fleeing suspects instead of "stopping" them if they don't comply.

Seems fundamental to me. Probably best I am not a cop.

Especially of a guy is in a car, he will be endangering others in a car chase.

 

What happens to these officers if this guy they let go now shoots someone?

 

The insinuation that they should have to “even the score” is so strong, I can smell it through Al Gore’s connected tubes.

 

That a greater percentage of blacks than whites are killed by cops is because blacks are more prone to criminal behavior and fighting with the Police. If you take race, law and law enforcement out of the picture, you find that blacks murder the same number of blacks as whites murder whites. But there are five times as many whites. Which means that outside of all debatable influence, blacks are five times as murderous of themselves as are whites of themselves. But even more alarming is cross race murder, in that even though there are five times as many whites as blacks, blacks murder two and a half times as many whites as whites murder blacks. That's an offset by a factor of twelve: blacks murder whites at twelve times the rate that whites murder blacks. Then there are the incarceration rates where blacks are a greater percentage. Clearly this is because they commit more crimes. It is all about behavior. And it is getting worse because blacks are getting worse. It all goes to Fatherless homes and welfare. Blacks are not victims of society. They are the victimizers of not only society but of themselves. And the Democrat party and the Democrat media should be ashamed of themselves for pretending otherwise. In so doing they falsely accuse whites and rob blacks of the truth. From this, blacks are encouraged to even worse behavior and more suffering, as if criminality were a virtue, and imprisonment an injustice.

 

Of course. Everybody makes mistakes. The mistakes cops make are often worse in terms of outcome and certainly more newsworthy.

 

Isn't that what I said?

I said we need to look at both sides of the issue, and greater rates of violence among blacks is the reason why cops feel more threatened by them in general, and it results in some innocents being shot by cops.

 

Now the shooting of the white kid in Chicago is all over the news, so maybe the shriek "they only care about blacks" is not entirely accurate.

 

No more so than whites.

 

Per capita they are killed at a rate of twice as high as whites.

It is what it is, and the reasons are what they are. It sounds like we are in agreement about the reasons.

 

Indeed. Because "white cop - black suspect" encounter is much more dangerous to a cop. And cops know that and react quicker than they would in a white - white encounter.

And then **** happens.

 

Yes, I think we have covered that 5-6 times on this thread.

 

Is there’s anything else left to be discussed in your tread then?

 

Everybody knows that the only reason the guy can just drive away, is because he's white.
A black man would have been swiss cheese and the regular mob here would support this.

 

Per capita it's not. And that's the problem.

Cops arrest black people more often on drugs related offenses. Cops arrest black people more often when pulled over.
But % wise, white people got a higher proportion of being arrested when pulled over.
And white people also deal/use more drugs than black people.

So it's indeed problematic that cops end up arresting the lesser problem far more often in this case.
It's up to +300% on drug related offenses. That shows how utterly bad it is.

Also unarmed, per capita. I ones posted a report of the American Psychological Association that cops, in a dumb 1st person shooting game,... shoot unarmed black people more, and armed white people less.

You say that, while the vid does say it all. The guy got a gun, the guy is refusing to comply, the guy is able to drive off without being shot. Did you see how the police reacted against an unarmed black soldier? Go explain me that one. Everybody in the US knows that this is how racist police brutality looks like. And even if you deny... you're not going to convince ANYBODY.

There is also this new gem. Little guy runs off, but stops when the police tells him. He puts his hands up with the police tells him. No gun is in his heads. He still got shot. Have a wild guess what skin color the kid has? Everybody in the US knows that this is how racist police brutality looks like. And even if you deny... you're not going to convince ANYBODY.

And you can't convince anybody. These are a dime a dozen.

 

Because blacks commit more crimes per capita and are more violent. Be they white of black, the onus is on the suspects behavior leading up to and during the arrest, not the Police. Police don't arrest or kill someone because of color, but due to the suspects behavior. When Police are called to a disturbance, they don't know what or who they're rolling up on.

 

Right. We already agreed on that part.

Well, the cops know blacks commit more crimes, so they are more on edge during apprehension, and the behavior which might be tolerated from a white suspect (assumed less dangerous) can trigger a shooting when the suspect is black.

Its like trying to capture an alligator vs crocodile. A crocodile is far more likely to kill you, so you take extra caution with them and be prepared for the worst.
