That has nothing to do with this case of probably white police officer shooting an officially armed working black man.
In MOST developed countries, police dont shoot people unless there is an extreme situation, thats why shootings in US by police(who are duty bound to "protect"everyone)seriously irritate and annoy people. why live in a developed country shupaa paaawwuur like US if you can die like a dog at hands of police for flimsy reasons? we are talking about priceless life.
Police shooting happens around the world. Whether or not you feel those were just. Just last week, I was investigating a Police Shooting of a Somalian terrorist attack in Melbourne. While many people say that guy is just holding a knife and the Police should not have shot him, but however threat perceived is based on the instant action of the officer at that moment. All Police of any nation would have a different way to deal with that threat, but just that at that time, and at that place, that officer choose to shoot him.
You are expected the Police to use Lethal Force if you give them firearms. While all of us, who aren't there cannot judge for a moment that what that officer went thru when he/she feel the need to pull the trigger, we cannot stop that from happening once they are given firearms, but what we can do is to investigate the situation and see if that force is necessarily, and the report has not complied yet, so we cannot say for sure whether or not that happened for the most flimsiest reason, or simply within reason.
In the end, what matter is law and order is preserved, you do something wrong, you get prosecuted, and if you are really guilty, you will be convicted. That is what Civil Society is about.
Its not about my choice, its about perception by the public. Perception is reality. general majority in most US cities thought US police(generalization yes) were handling black lives irresponsibily. It wasnt all the police yes, but it was enough that it bothered even white people.
As for Polive just doing their job, trust me, i understand. Police man in america today is upper middle class. most of them make $70K-$150K a year. for people with little college education often, they are basically common man rich. why would they not "vanish"anything that threatens the great life they are living? They have nice sizeable house, can go on family vacations, get discounts on many things, do you think someone like that really wants to struggle with a black man on the ground in downtown xxxxx(big US city name) instead of ending it quickly? bro, there is a pattern- US police wil often 1) take law into their hands(hand out execution by shooting) or 2) end THEIR misery, eg shoot running black man cuz they dont want to run or feel ego bruised cuz the person got away. At the end of the day provide list of white people who died like dog in the hands of US police. if there was one, white people would've sacked their police here already. US police even get mad that black man doesnt respect them and talks to them like ghetto thugs...then they have to "put them in their place".
First of all, Police don't earn 70K to 150K a year. You earn that much either you have put a lot of year in the force and you get a good rank, normal frontline police earn less than $50K a year.
While I am not going to argue with your own thought, why bothered? Police Shooting is first of all, rare, if it happened at all in large masses. Second of all, statistic show, there are more white people got shot and killed by Police than black people.
As I said, if you want to go ahead and think US Law Enforcement Agency have a conspiracy to "take the law into their own hand with black people" or "execute them because they don't want to bruise their little white ego" I mean that is totally fine, I mean if that is what you think, who am I to say you are wrong, but as the saying goes, if you think all other people is an ***, maybe you are the ***.
Anyway, there are nothing more I can say here, because you seems to have believe in something not many people in US believe in. So, good luck.
