    Why the **** does Texas have so many poorly trained LEO's? I have a cousin and personnel friends that are cops, and there is a blue wall, but they are all disgusted in the performance of the LEO's involved in both these shootings in Texas.

    Sad.

    Can you point to the part of the story where it points out anything was racially motivated except for the headline?

    The way to solve all this 'racially motivated' stuff is to have cops be of the same race of the people they're responding to, i.e white cops in white neighborhoods, black cops in black neighborhoods, etc. You game?

    I don't give benefit of the doubt anymore in these kinds of cases. Sorry, that's just the way it is from now on. He's a White Cop, trolling around a house in the back yard at night. He looks through the window, sees a Black Woman who cannot see him clearly because he's got cover of low light and she's in full bright light from the interior of the house. He fails to identify himself as an officer, yells through a closed window to a Black Woman standing in her own home and who cannot readily identify him. He fires a round, nearly without hesitation directly at a Black Woman standing in her own home from cover of shadow at night.

    He saw her. She could not clearly see or identify him. No benefit of the doubt anymore. You do that and you immediately get targeted as a "racist" who made their way through academy and on to the streets of America. The story is as old as dirt. No more benefit from me until things change. Right now, America's entire Law Enforcement Regime needs a total shakedown. I don''t think there is an intelligent human being without eye-shot of my post who disagrees with that sentiment.


    Nope. Not the solution. What happens when you travel outside your "neighborhood?" For that reason alone, such is not a real solution. We can't have bifurcated Law Enforcement by geography/ethnicity as that would be a form of Segregation and a massive step backwards. Instead, police departs need to weed out White Supremacists from their ranks. That would do far more to solve the underlying problem than anything else fathomable. There is also the need to weed out Hot Heads and Ego Maniacs from Law Enforcement as well. Power Tripping Cops are a Dime a Dozen in the United States and that is a Psychological Evaluation problem that can be solved. If not at the Psych phase, then certainly the internal reporting and internal performance phases, where these same Psych-Nuts repeatedly demonstrate conduct making them unfit for duty on a repeated basis. They should be fired before something like this happens, if the Psych Eval phase fails to root them out of the System.

    This is not a hard problem to solve. The "System" does not want to solve the problem - that's the *real* problem in a nutshell. Get rid of the Whack-Nuts. That's all you need to do. I have friends who are law enforcement. I routinely train with law enforcement. I shoot IDPA, IPSC, USPSA with law enforcement. I've drank beer with law enforcement. I've got law enforcement in my family and extended family. I've got a Niece, now about to enter law enforcement academy.

    Law enforcement is a known quantity with me. I know what the problem is and I know how to solve it - but nobody is asking my opinion nor consulting with me on how to solve it. For too many police departments around the country it is a head count problem. So, they hire just about any Tom, Dick or Harry that walks through the door. White Racist Morons known this and apply where they have the best opportunity of getting hired. At some point, we then hear about another Jefferson, being shot for no good cause and no lawful standing. But, we don't hear about the countless others who get harassed on the street, in their vehicles and in their homes by these same rogue elements pretending to be protectors of the community.

    I can think of another way to stop this too, but it would be bloody - very bloody. Best thing to do is to root out the Morons from Policing in America. That's the less bloody solution.

    Can you cite where it wasn't? Did you read the facts of the case as they are known at present? Can you cite a lawful reason for a White Cop firing his Glock 17 at a Black Woman who cannot see him while she stands inside her own home without benefit of knowing that anyone was on her property in the first place? Can you get real for at least a nanosecond and walk through the evidence as it is presently known to derive anything other than a racially motivated shooting of a Black Woman in her home by a Lunatic White Racist Cop in Dallas? Do you have any evidence whatsoever, this was not racially motivated?

    No more benefit for idiots who make good Cops look bad in our society.

    Are you white? Leave your doors open tonight and go put on headphones in your bedroom. I will call in a wellness check to your address and we see how it goes. If you get shot through a window after a cop doesn't identify themselves as a cop or, you know, tries the front door to see if you are home, well then you have a point!

    The burden of proof is on you...

    You made the claim it was racially motivated. Literally.

    Cite the proof you have. Thanks in advance.

    Are you going to cite how this was racially motivated? The article does not state it. I'm asking for a simple thing- cite how it's racially motivated.

    Is this something you can handle?

    Nope, I wasn't responded to your question. I was asking YOU a question. Seems you don't like answering as much as asking. I don't blame you, it's a lot harder to answer questions.

    I think there's enough history of the Fort Worth police department to conclude race was a factor. It has a history of shooting black people and their former chief was pushed out for trying to reform the department. So yes, I suspect racial motivation is a factor in the Fort Worth police department. Which is why I asked you about the wellness check at your house and how you would expect it to go. And then can you tell me why this one went so poorly? Your turn to answer!

    You quoted my post which was a question. You failed to answer how this was racially motivated, which is what you quoted me asking.

    The vid is out. The woman in her own house wasn't expecting anything.
    They thug yelled to raise her hands at the moment he killed her.
    She had no time to respond one bit. She didn't even know it was a cop who yelled at her.


    Last cop shooting an unarmed black man in his own house... will be out in 5 years and got a hug from the judge.
    That's "justice".

    The amount of unarmed black people being shot by white thugs with badges, combined with the racist past of the US that legally ended 20 years after WWII. Is that something you can handle? You think a little signature on banning Jim Crow laws, suddenly changed a centuries old custom of white people oppressing black people? lol

    No where in this post have you cited how this was racially motivated. Do I need to ask my question again?

    That is what happens when people call 911. The thug cops show up and kill the first person they see. Happens every day in America.

    If this cop was to get the same judge she would probably greet his 5th leg with a warm open mouth.

    There is NO evidence of racism. Bad judgement, yes. A horrible mistake, yes. But what proof do you have that this cop intentionally shot this woman and possibly ruined his life because of her race?

    I could respond to your entire post, but instead I'll focus on your claim of segregation because the left doesn't seem to care about segregation when:

    Blacks have their own schools
    Blacks have their own dorms
    Blacks have their own safe spaces
    Blacks have their own graduation ceremonies
    Blacks have their own congressional caucus
    Blacks have their own magazines
    Blacks have their own award shows
    Blacks have their own TV channel
    Blacks have their own Miss America

    And so on.

    The burden of proof is on those who made race an issue from the beginning. The history of police killing Black People without legal justification for doing is extant to anyone with eyes, ears and a brain. Only those without eyes, ears and brains put forth conspiracy theories that Black People make up stories about White police officers who kill their family members without legal cause. This has been going since Policing began in this country and nobody with an education about United States Policing History fails to know this. In fact, only those with no clue about United States Policing History fail to understand this.

    That's what American History supports unless you have contradictory and extant empirical evidence that suggests otherwise. That fact is - you don't because no such counter evidence exists in this country. Do you know the date, time and period in which the concept of Policing began in the United States? Do you know the social climate in which Policing began in this country? Were you aware of the fact that "Policing" BEGAN with mounting so-called "Slave Patrols" or "Slave Paddyrollers" for the sole purpose of kidnapping Black People off the street who either were already free (by the 1700s) or who escaped slavery (prior to 1865/68) by removing themselves from a slave owners property typically in the South?

    Where you aware that laws governing "Policing" in this country going back to the 1700s were specifically angled at Black People and were specifically geared to control Black People for the majority purpose of harnessing FREE LABOR mostly in the South and Southeast? Policing in the South was anchored in the Slave Economy and its primary target were Black People, capable of providing FREE LABOR on White owned plantations. This was AFTER Emancipation was signed into law. Policing in America, was primarily (1750) the most prodigious method for capturing and re-capturing Black People who were former Slaves (mostly in the South and Southeastern states).

    This is WHY there is such a problem in the South and Southeast today with respect to "Policing" relative to Black Humans. The legacy of "Policing" in this country has consequences that are easily understood by those without an agenda predicated on the false notion of White Supremacy, or those other Non-White Racists among us who came here as immigrants from other countries having benefited from the Civil Rights provided them BY Black People, but who now look down their nose at Black People with no clue as to where their freedoms come from in this country - or who made them possible.

    I've just given you a very short primer on "Policing In America. Its Roots and Origins."

    If you want more education on this subject, let me know. I'll be more than happy to extend your knowledge of American History.

    police should have questioned him immediately like they would you or I, not give him time to update his story to match the facts later

    could be as you said, but if he never mentioned it, it never happened like that imo, as that is something someone would mention right away

    they released a picture of a gun in her house, but never said if she was holding it or if just found somewhere else in the house, if she was not holding it and they showed that picture, that is double wrong - I would call it an attempted cover up

    He's charged with murder that's what. We probably won't know anymore until it goes to trial.
