Another lawless Black person shot by police.

What is the common denominator to all these situations? Lawlessness in America, which is particularly blatant in the black community. America has descended into hell.

I didn't watch this video but you sound a bit hypocritical to me. You don't care about what happened to George Floyd yet you care about this? I'm trying to understand your reasonings and so far I can't seem to be able to. :

Ha ha, this is why I like ya sis., you don't hold no punches...haaaa!

Thanks, but it's not really a humorous situation.

The police were justified in Floyd’s case and this one too. I get no delight in these people’s death, but choices have consequences.

I suppose they are whiting out the actual shooting to protect the viewer, but that makes telling what happened hard to see. But it looks like she may have pulled a gun, which left the cops with no choice.

Could be wrong, but that's what it looks like.

Yes. I was saddened by Floyd's death as well, and there have been even worse incidents that didn't get the same airplay. I feel for the black community, but while they often take exception to it, to me the answer is to comply and trust God to protect them. If injustice is done, let the powers that be be utterly without excuse. THAT would turn the country around. You see, the leadership in the Black community, especially groups like BLM, do not understand either the message or the tactics of MLK Jr., who was far more intelligent in his approach, and more aggressive in his mentality. He understood the power of non-confrontational protest, and if necessary suffering without retaliating, in order to effect change in society.

This business of resisting arrest is getting them killed, and pulling a gun in front of police (if that is in fact what happened) is never a smart move. It is a death wish.

Like I said, I feel bad for them. But I feel they are without true and godly leadership today, except maybe in some of the churches.

Yes, she pulled a knife and appeared to be trying to slab the other.

As you wish.

Thank you I appreciate it. I deleted my last post telling you to delete it as well. :)

The police officer who killed Floyd is not justified in this case. If he were, he would not have been found guilty of second degree murder. Unintentional or not.

You do realize that the mob put Jesus to death right? Were they justified just because they were the majority in power?

That has absolutely nothing to do with what she's saying. At least from what I can tell.

Oh, ok. A knife then. They were in very close proximity, so if that is indeed what happened then they may have saved the other person's life. And whatever it was about, we are not supposed to take life. We are supposed to let the courts sort things out. Now that, too, however is something that I think the Black community has legitimate gripes about. How can you trust yourself to the Justice system if the Justice system is corrupt? But again, that's why I advise trusting in the Lord, and giving oneself to praying to Him for their protection. MLK Jr. was a Christian leader, and this was also something he advised.

A strawman's argument....

Defined: The typical straw man argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition through the covert replacement of it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and the subsequent refutation of that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the opponent's proposition

Her statement: “If he were, he would not have been found guilty of second degree murder”. Her premise is that he was found guilty, therefore the officer was not justified in his actions. My point: just because the mob wanted him guilty does not make it so.

The point is, if you commit criminal acts, you might end up dead.

Let's, for once, hold the criminals accountable in these cases. The police have guns, don't mess with them. Unbelievable we continue having these conversations. STOP doing crime, simple!

You do realize that you live in the days of Noah, right? And you are siding with the lawless.

Well in that case she was a hundred percent right. A strawman's argument.

True, but still he never had to lean on his neck.

Blacks aren't the only ones who get killed by police, but they are the only ones who get media attention.

No she's not. She is taking a more balanced stand on the issue. I suggest you might want to consider doing so as well. Not every police shooting is justified, and some cops are entirely unfit for the job.
