You should tell the white cop that shooting a black guy that didn't need to be shot in 2017 will be seen as racist 100% of the time and given the way things have gone between white people and black people in the last several hundred years in the USA, he won't ever be able to talk his way out of it to the general public.

yeah if you're gonna tell me I can't weigh in then tell me how I'm wrong. tell me the real reason he shot the black cop then.

Maybe the white dude is just a trigger happy moron but you're an idiot if you think that given how the shooting played out as reported by the media that it would be perceived as anything other than "idiot white cop shoots black dude because he wants go home alive despite not being in any actual danger"

Can I wear my regular face and rush a cop? Your social media feed isn't reality, Cole. It's an outage machine fueled by the loudest and dumbest trying* to understand things that bother them.

Better question: Which of the three cops do you know in this scenario?

A: The cop who was shot.
B: The cop who shot a dude.
C: The cop who identified A as a cop before B shot A.

If there's one thing that facebook and the internet has taught me, it's that the more we think we know each other, the less we do. In other words, the world was a better place before we were exposed to every stupid horrible thought, political opinion and meme that passed through our friends' brains.

I guess what I'm saying is personal knowledge can be very misleading.

Not being able to go out dressed like tacticool Tony due to budget restrictions must be terrifying. The cops need (more) tanks and (more) plate carriers to have high enough self confidence to not blast everything (black) that moves.

You could make the argument that the kind of people we'd like to have serving as police officers and military personnel mostly refuse to because the compensation (money, stable family life, etc) is not worth the sacrifices. Which leaves these careers open to racist assholes, window-licking morons, and a handful of people who deserve to be held up as shining examples because despite everything they still loving care, and they still loving try.

bear with me on this thought experiment

the off duty officer was of african descent. his people are known to have more fast twitch muscle fibers than people of european descent. therefore, the movements of black people are often characterized as "explosive" by slow stupid white people. perhaps when he was told he could stand back up, he did so in such an "explosive" manner that one of the honky cops was startled so bad he reverted to his natural instinct of shoot all browns

true but the argument presumably that this incident was somehow different than the other time an unarmed black dude was shot by a cop, which lead me to assume that all the other incidents were from well funded ones???? I dont know!
