41 shots, Liana gets her son ready for school
She says, "On these streets, Charles, you've got to understand the rules
If an officer stops you, promise me you'll always be polite
And that you'll never ever run away
Promise Mama you'll keep your hands in sight"Is it a gun? (Is it a gun?)
Is it a knife? (Is it a knife?)
Is it a wallet? (Is it a wallet?)
This is your life (this is your life)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed just for living in your American skin -
I'm indigenous Canadian, brown skinned long haired big tall dark 100% Ojibway Cree on both sides of my family from northern Ontario.
Unless you are white Caucasian, dealing with law enforcement is always a risk. As a teen and young man, I was always a suspect every time I dealt with the police, a criminal that had to prove on my own that I wasn't. And I was one of the lucky ones because I had a lot of older family look out for me. So many of my friends who didn't have the same protection just ended up miserable as they got trapped inside the system. They grew up being treated like criminals that no one was surprised that they became criminals.

I want them abolished.

I want every American to hear this and be angry.

This should be viral. Every BLM piece of propaganda on Youtube that I saw involving the death of a black person could be traced back to a shadow banned (by YouTube) raw video showing resisting arrest, brandishing a gun, etc. If they cared about people's lives; they'd educate. My father had this talk with me, and any father that loves their kids should do likewise.

Resisting arrest is not punishable by death. The cop is not a jury. If you choose to resist, the punishment should be reasonably forceful arrest.
Also, some of the people you think were resisting arrest were sleep in their apartment. So...?
-
Are you legit victim blaming the dead on a comic about the effects of institutional racism, even in how black kids have a prejudiced introduction to growing up?
Everyone should teach their kids what to do when they encounter a wild animal but apparently you think that's enough license to blame them when they get bitten?

So they definitely weren't resisting a rest.
-
Go be a better cop and set an example.
-
Sure, how were they sleeping while someone was next to them shooting?
Why do you have a problem with painting the whole picture? -
Hey! You there! You're pointing out smoking causes lung cancer, go learn to be a oncologist and cure people. I'm gonna sit here and hand out cigarettes.
That's what you sound like

The whole picture is it was a no knock warrant, officers shot first.
Why are your thumbs so mad? Is it because they have to type out so many half truths?

It has nothing to do with blame and everything to do with survival. Correctly blaming the wild animal isn't much comfort when the damage is done.

Some of the picture that you're conveniently omitting:
- George Floyd was a violent thug with a history which was known by Derek, so the situation was confirmed high risk for him (not even counting the unruly mob they had to contend with).
- George complained about not being able to breathe while being escorted to the vehicle.
- At that moment; medical was called for which is why they arrived on sceen (attempting to save his life).
- George refused to get in the car and at his suggestion they laid him on the ground outside.
- Derek's knee to the neck was protocol and what he was trained to do that they lied about in court.
- There's conflicting testimonies about what actually killed him, but let's not forget that he was complaining about not being able to breathe while still standing before a struggle, (which used up oxygen) which was his choice. He was also affected by Covid.
So stop with the propaganda.
