Oh me.  Once again, she's in deep poop.   Unfortunately, her voter base would vote on her even if someone found the 666 birthmark and took a picture.

Did you see the recent video of the behavioral specialist that was shot? He was helping an autistic kid who was playing in the street with a toy truck; of course, someone called the police. The guy told the policeman that the kid is autistic and was playing with a toy gun. The therapist lays on his stomach with his hands visibly in the air. He shouts."my hands are in the air" and he was still shot. He lived to tell his story ,and someone was recording the incident using their phone. That is ridiculous. What di you guys thing #blacklivesmattertoo

How do I attach the video?

[stevenash]

Big Girl- since we cant see the video, lets assume you are representing its accuracy 100%-  Do you believe this is an exception or the norm for police conduct in this country?

Not sure why this has anything to do with #blacklivesmattertoo as BG alluded to.

Seems anything that happens these days has to have some sort of sinister racial motive...smh.

The officer was likely wrong but I think looking at the situation, he accidentally fired. He should have never had his finger on the trigger (which is the way it is trained). I will bet that the guy really wasn't shot directly in the leg but he caught some ricochet off of the roadway because the officer wasn't aiming when he fired, which makes me even more believe that he accidentally fired or as it is called an accidental discharge or negligent discharge. 

I have a hard time believing that an officer with a rifle (I think) from a few yards missed by several feet. The rifle is capable of a head shot out to about 200 yards without even using a scope. Even with a handgun he should not have missed that far.

I saw it on the news, and the officer shouldn't have fired, although it may have been accidental.  But it points out the BIG problem of the recent shooting of Police Officers.  These Officers are human, with wives and children, and they carry guns.  They want to go home to them when the shift is over.  Now, many of them fear for their lives, and I'm afraid that shootings by Police may increase.  Put yourself in their place.  You'd have to be in a defensive mode (I know I would).  My advice, to All of us, be as compliant and respectful as you can if confronted by a Policeman.  Make him or her as comfortable as possible.  If you're pulled over at night, first thing, turn on your dome light.   I know 99% of police, never want to use their weapon, Ever.  And 99.99% of us don't want to get shot, Ever.

TVC, if you have anymore advice on how we can help on our end, most of us would appreciate it.

Thanks for showing concern for the fallen officers who died protecting people like you. Your post is off topic. Start your own thread since you care absolutely nothing about people who made the ultimate sacrifice.

I know the Media is disappointed there wasn't more arrest/confrontations at the RNC.  I'd be willing to bet there are more arrest in Philadelphia than there was in Cleveland, and it was a hostile location for republicans.   Although I may be wrong since there's so much voter apathy over these two candidates.

I would be very afraid. That is why I am a RN not a cop. Why become an officer if you are afraid or inadequately trained? If I became quesy at the sight of blood or open flesh and wounds, would it had made sense for me to go to college to become a Registered Nurse? I don't understand

I have shown sympathy for the families of those officerx who were shot. I brought this situation to light, because this is why we have the Black lives Matter Movement.  There is also a video of a white guy resisting arrest and attacking 2 officers and he is still alive. What do you all think about that? I don't know how to upload videos

My god woman, you still think the guy is dead for simply resisting arrest? Did you completely forget about the gun? I know you have your agenda to serve but in the very least let it be based on facts. You just like to argue. You never look at facts.

Yes, likely. I did not see any video of the shooting and do not know why he fired. Do you? Please share the video with us.

I know that you are very used to rendering a verdict with no evidence. Speculation is great but it is just that, speculation or an opinion.

I am speculating based on 33 years as a police officer. Having been on duty when it happened and worked with people that have done the exact same thing, It is my opinion based on that experience that it is likely that he fired the weapon by mistake. If he did so, he is very much wrong for accidentally firing a round. If he fired with good cause (and I certainly didn't see any) then he was not wrong. The problem is that we can only guess. 

But I will stick with my opinion of, he is likely wrong without knowing any more.

I never see a need rioting, but don't trust the folks investigating either

 Me either. The man clearly had his hands in the air. I guess that doesn't matter

What guy? If you are referring to Michael Brown I  have stated that I didn't closely follow the case, because things like that upset my boys.

No, Alton Sterling, the one you asked if resisting arrest is punishable by death. He had a gun while wrestling with police. Stay on track. When you skip around as you do, it means you really have no direction or conviction.

He had a gun in his hand? This article in the Washington Post said he didn't.

The police have to wait for the gun to be in his hand when they are scuffling to subdue him? How idiotic. What kind of reasoning is that? You would rather the officers got killed?

So y'all trust the FBI's investigation of Hillary's emails, but do not trust Eric Holder's DOJ investigation of "hands up don't shoot" and all of the other BLM narratives that were proven false by physical evidence?

That makes a lot of sense....
