Donovan should temporarily change his number in remembrance of George Floyd

No, sorry I worded that wrong. I mean 1% of police in the last 7 years are convicted of anything in regards to when they take a life on duty.

Gotcha that makes more sense. And it sucks.

No, this isn't simply about people dying. That's an issue but a different topic. People who murder people should be attested and convicted. That is what the police attempt to do with murders. That's not what's happening within police though. They are allowed to abuse their position of power and get away with it. Police abuse their power against all sorts of people but they do it a lot more towards black people than white people. Police have murdered innocent people and protected by fellow police. That needs to change.

Highly agree my friend. We definitely need more checks and balances with police conduct.

They have a very very loose standard imo. I kind of almost get it to an extent, but they can pretty much just say "I felt like I was in danger" and then anything after that is fair game. Tamir Rice for example.

Tamir Rice for example. On the other hand, this Rayshard Brooks case is very very much in the grey area. The cops did pretty much everything possible right, util Brooks decides to attack them and take their weapon. Hindsight is always 20/20 so yeah, maybe they should have let him run away and arrested him soon after as he was technically not dangerous or armed. But in the moment, it's tough to be that reasonable and I have a very hard time feeling sorry for Rayshard Brooks.

Wait, did they not get shot and some die? Pretty sure its absolutely the same issue just not the narrative being imposed.

Division is the name of the game right now my friend and some people are taking it hook, line, and sinker.

Same issue?
Cop killing civilian is different that civilian killing civilian silly.

Oh my hell. Came to Jazzfanz to escape all of the ******** on the news, only to find it here. I am going to have a hard time working up any enthusiasm for Jazz basketball when the playoffs start.
