Police Kill Unarmed Man After Car Accident In North Carolina

I agree in trusting the courts.... but whenever you have a 50k bond (10% is paid for by the person to a bail bondsman) $5k is tough for a cop salary....

not to mention, a lawyer....
work missed (cops pick up security work and this one now can't)


how much does this man now have to spend to defend himself if the only reason he was arrested and charged was because of politics, and not actual evidence.

Now, if there is evidence.... my point is moot. But simply because the prosecutor quickly charged does not hold weight for me when there are very real politics involved in this case. To just flippantly dismiss a bad charge as "let the courts decide" neglects the REAL cost of this to the person who may have acted appropriately. Houses lost, lost jobs, reputation, retirement.... Charge them if the evidence is there, but make damn sure it's there.... that's all I ask.

All I'm calling for is let the evidence speak... not politics.
innocent until proven guilty

and if a not guilty verdict comes, or charges are dropped, that we trust in the system and don't see the typical faces calling for hate-crime charges, or Obama saying it could be his son, or holder saying he's going to investigate for civil rights violations, or the Black Panthers putting a bounty on this cops head, or Roseanne and Spike Lee posting this cop's parent's address on twitter (or the address she THINKS is the cops parents address).....

 

Same as anyone else arrested.

Given there is no evidence of that it's a purely rhetorical question.

Same as anyone else arrested. There is nothing special to me about this case. Hell, cops bring bad charges all the time.

 

Zimmerman was charged with a crime even though he was innocent.

The problem is black race hustlers from Obama on down who make a living crying "racism."

 

According to the article and if it's accurate, how would you have 'exercised your judgment' if in the dead of night you saw a guy charging at you, a taser didn't stop him, he's refusing orders to stop and you don't know if he has a weapon or not?

 

Have they released the dashcam? How exactly was he charging, he isn't a rhino is he. Was he tasered or did the cop even know how to use it. How many burglary suspects run toward the police? Something about that dog don't hunt.

 

Who claims he killed in self-defense and an all white jury bought it. Who couldn't see that coming.

Whatelse did he say? I am pretty sure he said more than that.

Your right its different, because folks like you wouldn't be commenting on it.

 

I'm Black but have had relationships with Hispanic, Asian, British, American White and Afro-American wimmins.

And I remember talking about Jesse with a Black woman I'd just begun seeing.

You wouldn't have believed her expression of real surprise when i said I thought he was a poverty pimp. It was as though I'd slapped her...that instantly a response and that startled a reaction...that I would even say such a thing...as though she couldn't believe it.

 

You mean eventhough he claimed he was innocent.

Yea your right, because everyone knows there is no such thing as racism in America.

 

Cops don't bring charges, EVER. Not EVER.

 

Brutha, that attitude is so 1960's it's not funny. And it's also NOT gonna cut it in tomorrow's America.

You are going to have to change that slave mentality or risk becoming extinct like the dinosaur. Or like the blacksmith after automobiles replaced horses as our primary source for transportation.

 

I am aware of that. But it's just semantics to me. If it matters to you, then change cops to the DA. Whatever. It does not change my point at all.

 

I don't even know what your point is anyway. You seem to be saying charge this guy regardless of evidence and let the courts sort it out. Sorry , but being a LEO doesn't invalidate a person's civil rights.

 

The entire thing is extremely fishy .

 

These things always turn into a 'race' issue because they only seem to happen to one race.

 

I never said that or implied that. The post I was responding to said it was a political arrest and he may not have done anything wrong. I simply said if that is the case the courts will sort it out. That is why we have them. I never said to charge him without evidence, nor did I suggest his rights should be invalidated. Not even sure how you got that.

 

He killed an innocent man.

We cannot allow the precedence to stand where it is acceptable for a injured man to be gun downed seeking help from the police.

 

There were more deaths than the one ?
(you should tell the Sanford PD)

His tweet on the subject (lol, yes "a tweet"), only had so many characters available... but I'm sure if there was room he would have admonished the black murderer as much as he did (does) the white murderer(s)... and not just blame "the nation" for this guy's actions.

While standing on all 12 victims' lawns.... I'm sure of it !

Anyway... if he said more, please post it,

Actually me, and many like me, had a ton to say when Trayvon tried taking the gun of the armed man he was sitting on.
Your white-hate is causing you to make some pretty silly claims.

 

No sir, they don't just happen to one race. They only get MEDIA COVERAGE when they happen to one race.

Further, the system itself can not help that young black men get themselves in trouble at a MUCH MUCH higher rate than other races. Should blacks have different laws, do you believe they are animals unable to conform to the same expectations as the rest of us? I certainly don't believe that is the case.

Prove it happens on a regular basis to non blacks. We can go story for story.

Remember. The criteria is unarmed, and not in the process of committing a crime.

Me 20. You 0

I think many people, who think they benefit from people like him (and I mean any color, any person) tend to get blinded from common sense.
It seems most of America sees Jackson as a race-baiting, victim-exploiting has-been who takes advantage of any camera pointing the way of a black person being "wronged". Same goes for Sharpton.
If there is money to be made, I mean.

Sad thing is, they take the attention away from more legitimate black leaders who want to address actual issues, and not just show up for camera time, to throw race cards. Like those two.

 

Hmmm your 20 don't seem to be limited to encounters with police, and you offer no proof that they weren't committing a crime.

So, I'll pass on your "challenge"

 

They were all encounters with Police, but ya'know unless the cop is actively witnessing them committing the crime or they are found guilty in court they are innocent. Its kinda in the constitution.

But of course you will pass because you would be hard pressed to find white people experiencing the same thing.

 

Innocent until proven guilty is a burden for the courts, not for the police. And so a cop doesn't have to "prove guilt" before he can defend himself.
