Discussion: Louisiana AG Rules Out Charges Against White Officers In Alton Sterling's Death

Things Black people can justifiably be shot for in the US: holding a cell phone, buying a gun at walmart, playing with a toy gun as a child, selling cigarettes, selling cd’s, walking, driving, being law-abiding citizens on their own property, being legal gun owners, running away from danger…there are a few tens of thousands i’m forgetting right now…maybe I could simplify this list by saying it’s justifiable in the US to kill black people for any reason. That seems consistent.

Still legal to shoot black people in louisiana I see.
Kill em first then make the necessary adjustments to make the dead guy the bad guy in the moment.
What ever happened to cop training where 2 cops detain by force, face down and handcuff them behind the back??
Didn’t get that far in the instruction book I guess.

That training only applies to white people.

The cops said the magic words “I was in fear for my life.”

I grew up at a time when no cop would say that. I know it might have been true, but why are we allowing police to use the same logic as untrained people?

Did policing suddenly become dangerous?

They’re cowards. Being police can be dangerous. You need to show courage to be police. They didn’t join the police to actually face danger. They joined so they could retire on a government pension.

Funny, though, how police officers so much less often report being in fear for their lives when confronting white suspects.

Took them months for them to charge a black cop (and muslim to boot) for killing a white woman…simply no chance of charging white cops for killing a poor black guy.

Republicans and the rest of Trump’s White Supremacist administration shrug, then slap their mistresses around for fun.
