    I don't have a theory.
    That's why I am asking a person claiming to be a very successful black person his thoughts.

    So your claim is the entire race of black men are just plain stupid? I don't buy that.

    This perp had two warrants for his arrest --and one of them was a for a WEAPONS charge!

    This jive-ass clown wasn't some 'Little Bo Peep'... but the same idiots who built shrines for a criminal like George Floyd will probably build one for this jerk, too....

    After reading todays news I find that 26 year veteran police officer Potter evidently could not distinguish her bright YELLOW plastic taser gun from her METAL colored regular police issue pistol??? VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT!!!

    But his family wins the "ghetto lottery" I wonder how much that actually plays into the way these people behave. Afterall.. they don't seem to value life much, not even their own.

    There are some incredibly smart Black People, But! the Black community as a whole has not created themselves into a model segment of American Society.

    You really should be questioning your ridiculous suing culture not so much those that hope to benefit from it

    I am certainly no expert on blacks and their culture.
    But I do remember reading about black communities thriving in this country once upon a time. Harlem was a great or very nice place to live and raise a family.
    Of course this is post slavery and other ammendments.

    But then something seems to have gone awry with those good black communities. ALL across America. Not just in certain communities or cities or States, but the entire country.

    So, what would cause that.
    It has to be more than just black fathers all across America decided to abandon their families. Because of welfare?

    Totally.

    A "26-year Veteran" who was "Field Training" a new officer?

    Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel and the blind leading the blind.

    This Murderous Cop makes Denzel (in "Training Day") look like Mother Teresa.

    No kidding. The question is, is why?
    There was a time in USA history when there were thriving black communities.
    How did all of them, Country wide, disappear into what we term ghetto's today?

    Um...that is literally exactly what I've been saying all along....That was the entire point of the post you quoted and the other posts I've made....

    These children are not raised, they just grow up. They don't have parents in the home. If you are a poor single mother in one of these inner city black communities then 9 times out of 10 your children rarely see you. If your children are lucky then they have a mother who is a good person who just happens to work all day. If they're unlucky, which is many of them, then their mother is "there" but a drug addict or an alcoholic. Nobody is RAISING their children. Nobody is grabbing their 12 year old black girl and saying no CHILD, you absolutely are NOT walking around the house singing a song called Wet Ass *****. I don't give a damn if society named that song of the year and I don't give a damn if all your friends are listening to it.

    Nobody is taking any personal responsibility for their children in these inner city hellholes that's why these little monsters act the way they do. What type of people do you think these little monsters become when they get older? I'll give you a hint, turn on the news right now.

    Somebody took personal responsibility for me, that's why I wasn't a little monster growing up and that's why as an adult I'm sitting here in my nice 3 bedroom house in the middle of nowhere in peace earning a 6 figure paycheck instead of burning down Minneapolis because I think America hates my skin color. These people didn't have that growing up. Go ask any random black person currently throwing bricks through Target if they had a father growing up. I will bet you my next months salary the answer will be hell no.

    Police do seem overly ready to start shooting.
    What in the world was the guy doing trying to escape and provoking the incident?

    Just heard on the news the Murdering Officers resignation letter.
    In it she says she LOVED EVERY MINUTE of her career......I take it she loved her last minutes on the force, too, where she killed a man....

    NO remorse there....

    I have no need to do that. Yes he shouldn't have tried to resist and flee the scene. Yes that adds fault to HIM. He could have chosen another course rather than the violent one. Yes my heart goes out to the officer because she will have to live with her mistake for the rest of her life. Yes my heart goes out to the family who lost someone due in part to that persons previous crime and then resisting the arrest on that crime.

    Bottom line the officer made a tragic mistake nothing more, it was NOT a purposeful shooting, quite the opposite.

    Exactly. Of course he knew they had him on the gun charge and the failure to show up at court, no telling what else he may have done and thought they may have known about.

    He was STUPID and as a consequence is dead.

    So is Biden racist for saying looting is wrong? Trump was racist for saying it so why not Biden?

    Why aren’t they “given space” anymore to express their feelings?

    Not hardly. If you accept that you must accept "I didn't know the gun was loaded", or "I didn't see him", or "honest, it was an accident, I didn't mean to kill him". Hogwash!

    So she thought she could kill him with a TASER and pulled it in order to do so. Care to elaborate on that? Have you even watched her body cam? And no I don't have to accept your other diversions.

    So the left wants to get guns off the streets and require background checks and registrations but if someone one buys one on the blackmarket they don't want the arrested and charged with a crime?

    As I explained, the culture is paramount to the current state of the black community.

    If you take a society where the majority of the children grow up by themselves around rampant drug use and crime and poverty and then couple that with the glorification of rap music and promiscuity then the result is going to be the same. The skin color of the people involved has nothing to do with it. The introduction of crack cocaine into the black community in the 80s and 90s REALLY sent this spiraling out of control. And instead of being horrified the black community seemingly GLORIFIED the damn stuff through pop culture. The most popular members of black media culture became the gangsta rappers of the 80s and 90s who openly spoke about drug dealing and murder and labeling black women as property to be used and discarded at will. And these people became mega stars.....

    On the bedroom wall next to the posters of MLK Jr and Jesus up goes.....Eazy-E. You know, that guy who's most famous hit song is a story that outlines his normal day as a gangsta as he casually disrespects his mother, sells drugs, and murders people. Of course he belongs right up there next to the other two on the bedroom wall of black children as one of their idols..."It's just music".

    They are arresting someone on an outstanding weapons charge, the person's vehicle has not been searched, the person has started fighting and trying to get back into the vehicle. I don't hear the panic here yes police ratched up their response and yell and scream at people resisting arrest.

    Tell me at what point do you think things went wrong here? When did the police do something wrong and be specific?
