Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement


This most recent one is one I understand the most although he was shot in the back. The kid had a gun and was reaching for it. Cops can't wait to see what happens next.

Sorry for the kid losing his life, but when you're robbing people with a gun at 2 AM, and then run from cops with a gun, I'm not sure what would have de escalated this

You can't out-run a radio. In some countries, where the police are mostly unarmed, they follow from a safe distance until they can surround the guy.

That guy still had a gun and was desperate enough to run with it. What if the police gave him some distance and then he shoots someone and takes their car? It's not impossible to think that could happen.

When someone has a gun and breaking the law it makes it very hard for all those involved.

It also makes it hard if you assume every situation will devolve into the worst possible circumstance, when so few of them do.

Cars also don't outrun radios.
 
This is what we're dealing with in Oklahoma in our second largest city (Tulsa); being reminded of the worst race massacre that occurred in 1921 known as The Tulsa Race Riost:



Tulsa 401,190 (Urban), 998,626 (Metro)

President Donald Trump has scheduled a rally in Tulsa on June 19 at BOK Center.
 
Dave Chappelle with a great speech, talk, routine ... IDK, its about why the black community is pissed and tbh it helped me understand a bit more. It was really great and is well worth 30 min of your time.

So you're ok with a dude running around with a gun after he was robbing people?

Usually, people that are that desperate aren't thinking clearly and you never know what they're going to do.

I hate the kid died as I hate seeing anyone else die, I just understand why he was shot more than the other videos I've posted.

Interesting situation. People literally taking back their streets. It’s over-the-top, but making people notice. Almost showing people the extreme if nothing is done. Hell, they’re begging Trump to use force. If anything, they’ll expose his hollow threats or prove that the police militarization and an oppressive regime is what we’re really dealing with. We’ll see.

I think it would be good to post all the black people we’re listening to right now. Honestly, I give less than 2 ***** what Ben Shapiro, and most white people frankly, think about this if they haven’t listened to black people yet. I’ve posted this book in a few threads. If I started a thread and we read it together would anyone participate?

Here’s where I started:

I have this book on hold at the library but am not sure when I will get it. It's quite encouraging that many of the books on the subject of race have multiple holds. And even more encouraging that this week's New York Times' Best-Seller Nonfiction List is almost all books on race. It appears plenty of people are wanting to learn more.

Books I've read in the past couple of years and highly recommend:
Non-Fiction
White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo (changed my life)
Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson
Becoming by Michelle Obama
Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama
The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton
Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Fiction
The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
Kindred by Octavia E Butler
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
Cane River by Lalita Tademy
