A police officers job is hard and very dangerous at times. They must make split second decisions at times. Hopefully for the policemen and the deceased this case is handled in a honest and professiona

It may have been legal depending on what happened but I doubt (and have a hard time believing) that it was necessary.

Maybe it is just poor reporting or the chief didn't explain it. The article seems to say that the car was not going in reverse, it was driving forward. That tells me almost nothing but what gear the c

Thanks bullets for being one of the only conservatives on this board that puts right and wrong above black and white or democrat and republican. If everyone on this board did the same it would be great. Thats why i don't have 18,000 post. will not waste to much time here, but like to see the craziness every now and then.

When you look at the cases that are thrown around, very few of the people who are shot are innocent.  A better question is why does the media strive so hard to turn justifiable shootings of young black men by white cops into race baiting news stories?  The amount of heinously bad killings by cops is extremely low. We're talking about maybe 1 or 2 a year where you can honestly look at it and say "that was murder", and there's no reasonable defense to the officer's actions (the Walter Scott shooting, for example).  When you consider the hundreds of millions of police interactions a year with the public (many of which are with violent criminals), that number is very good.  We all make mistakes at our job, but most of our jobs aren't life and death.  a bad decision by a police officer could mean someone is killed, and police have to make these decisions knowing that the person who might be killed if they make a mistake is themselves.  When you consider that, it's amazing that they show the restraint that they do.   As for the "white officers shooting innocent black people", while I disagree with the media as to just how "innocent" most of the "victims" are in these shootings, it's mostly a numbers game.  Approximately 73% of law enforcement officers in the US are white.  Around 12% are black.  Add to that the fact that black males commit a disproportionate amount of the violent crimes in the US (8% of the population committing well over 40% of violent crimes), and the odds of a white officer responding to a call involving a black perpetrator or complainant is extremely high, and happens thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of times daily across the country. It's really no surprise that a good chunk of police shootings involve white officers and black criminals, and when they don't, the news has little to no incentive to report about it.

Always did think your post were pretty fair. never really calling out race in a negative way, and you will call out your own party at times.

Zimmerman was/is Mexican. You keep arguing with white people.

Hispanic=ethnicity, not race. Your post doesnt make sense. Is Zimmerman a Mexican? I thought his mother was from Peru. P.S hispanic means a person is from Spanish orgin, he doesnt have to be from Mexico.

Looks to me like you brought it up first dog. Thinking someone else on this board might be on welfare or something

Well, when I'm told I have a privileged white life, what do you expect me to answer? Leave it to someone such as yourself to bring up welfare.

Why do we never hear of black cops shooting innocent people? What if a black cop shot a innocent white kid in a car?

hUH? Two Black cops were indicted for shooting and killing a white guy in Louisiana. In fact, one of the Black cops was sentenced a few weeks ago.

ZIMMERMAN is a white Mexican, DUHHH!!!

A mix of white and black=black. Duh. Look at Zimmerman. He doesn't look white at all. If he was an illegal alien, this wouldn't have made the 6:00 news. You want him to be white so bad that it makes you overlook everything else.

      What news station do you watch?…..never mind.    What age are the children you take care of. Refugees from where? Are they in a hospital? Now children compared to criminals…..geeeez. The mayor of Denver and a few governors, including Newsom, have said they will not turn over incarcerated criminals to ICE. This is a felony. They are harboring criminals and fugitives. Gee, I’m so glad you want criminals protected. Anyone who crossed illegally into our country is a criminal. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

      Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita.

      I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
