It's usually those who shy away from violence who become victims of it. If people become violent those corrupt institutions will have no choice but to comply. It's a fight they can't win, you don't talk to someone who wants to beat you, the only way they'll stop is if they understand their actions have consequences and if the court won't punish them, they're a part of the problem. They would hypocritically persecute a civilian who murders while turning a blind eye to a cop who does the same thing. If the people fight back, cops won't be so eager to shoot people like it's a game.
You have a right to defend yourself when danger is looming but even so what will killing cops bring? You really think this is going to end. Tbh if the entire military stepped into this, how long does it take for the protesters and the ones wanting violence to get exterminated.
If people become less violent, the cops will realize their mistake and he would be behind bars. As it is all about the public mentality. For so long if a black or a white gets shot by a police, I believe a huge riot happened in Alabama because of this a year ago, we retaliate. Fighting won't teach the people who committed sins a goddamn thing. It will just bring them to the realization that oh these people want to do harm. The cops will act more cocky and hold the death of the comrade at higher stakes and start finding the killer and shooting more innocents. It's the public who can correct those corrupt officials and yes cops aren't very intelligent human beings but if we step and and show why they are wrong, none of this disgusting behavior will happen.
You're kind of wrong, the police by government officials and if they want to get rid of all the protesters they can. Even the mass can't stand their use of weapons. It's a long shot for the public to win with violence. The only way you prove them wrong is shove logic/facts up the cop's face and remind him why he shot at the black guy the way he did.
Take it to his face that America doesn't support racial discrimination and it is outlawed though unfortunately there is some discrimination. Stand up to them the right way.
Cops can't shoot at the innocents because he knows what will happen to his job, his family.
In any society, the justice system is a key pillar that preserve the law. If they're not doing their job, people will seek their own justice which is exactly what's happening and once justice is carried out by the people you no longer have a foundation for a society and the whole thing crumbles.So whatever happens, civilians aren't to blame. It's the establishment not carrying out their duties properly.
Look the justice system is always not flawed, sometimes it is though. When people start reaching for their own justice, the country goes berserk, there is no law or order maintained. He made a rookie mistake thinking that the black guy was going to pull out his gun instead of the wallet. It was a mistake on the cop's part. But this was uncalled for and unacceptable and is not going to end until a moral conclusion is reached. In a few cases the rulings were bad such as Casey Anthony, dude who killed 4 people and then was released because he had a mental illness. The court officials make mistakes too they are human but if we act on their level, we are no better than them. We are just scum who shoot at innocents to fulfill our happiness for the incident that just happened. [/QUOTE]
Why do people think we always retaliate? The two recent killings didnt retaliate at all.
But the public did react to the black man that was shot in New Orleans and in Minnesota. It's a natural reaction these days. You see a black man being shot by a white cop. That calls for racial discrimination. People protest and then there are snipers to shoot at cops. This is usually the cycle.
Philando castille was shot through his car passenger side getting his wallet. Sterling was shot after being tackled down by two cops screaming he couldnt breath then they took his breath away with 4 gunshots.
Even when you dont retaliate, which rarely the case anyway pay attention, they still died.
Blame the courts dude, the fact that they hire public officials who can't do their job properly is disgusting and it is pretty annoying. Why do people think that using nonviolence to prove a point is surrendering. It's not, you're proving to them that you are mentally capable to take care of yourself without the gov't support.
It was a mistake and if the cops are trained better these deaths wouldn't be happening. Because of their deaths the retaliation never should have happened.
I pay attention to these cases, and most of them were people who didnt fight back. In fact, noone fought back except maybe trayvon martin and that guy wasnt even a cop, just thought he was.
I dont agree with the killings but I must admit it soothed my soul because it was hurting. However I know revenge will bring no change so I dont condine this.
@Bold, thank you for proving my point. It might burn your heart that these disgusting things are happening but keep them in your head. Don't vent your anger in public and run killing people like a savage. Revenge is never the answer and to conclude this attack is wrong.
