Or in the defense of others.

I don't think it works well in many cases. I think sentences are skewed in the case of non-recivist nonviolent offenders. We jail too many of the wrong people and that impacts a person's outlooks and their opportunities.

In the case of raids on the wrong house, the person with signature authority should be in danger of firing when it goes pear shaped. If they wield the power to have my door knocked down then they also bear the responsibility of making sure they get the right door.

do you remember that part on spiderman when uncle ben said that thing about great power?

yeah, cops are rarely held accountable for their terrible decision making.

It's easier for me to forgive the beat cop making a bad decision in the heat of the moment than the faceless ticket punching bureacrat that delivers SWAT to the wrong person's doorstep. Granted, none of my people have been shot by the beat cop making a bad decision.

LOL, white cops shooting black guys for having guns in their pockets, while white man actually puts hand on gun and cops tells him to calm down.

Probably because the cop knows white guys like this aren't little animals that go around shooting a 7 year old in an alley because their dad is a POS rival gangbanger, so the cop knows it's a low chance this is truly going to escalate. Where as, with the animal, you know they DGAF, so you need to be prepared for whatever crazy they're bringing. Reality is a b1tch...

Your "generalization" is simply over the line.

Because of race, right? Has to be, nothing else could be different about people and situations.

hahaha. Prejudice buddy.

How does it make u feel? Now imagine having a feature you can't change. Imagine how you would feel in that situation. Imagine how you would feel knowing that for hundreds of years people felt that way about u and all your slow fat ancestors.

You're assuming it is race. Black guy did other things before this all happened. I have no idea what the other one did, do you?

Here's a hint for you guys. Pointing to something bad happening to a black person isn't evidence that it happened because of his black skin. Maybe the guy in the other picture is a better cop? Possible?

Definitely, but we don't seem to be having a surplus of white guys being gunned down by black cops now do we.

I guess that guy was a better cop then both of these fools in Baton Rouge.

We don't have a surplus of white guys killing cops either. (proportionately speaking)

The officer in Minnesota was Asian. White people generally don't identify an attack on one white person as evidence of a systemic problem. The news also doesn't report every time a white person is shot by someone who isn't white, police officer or not. We also don't know how many black officers there are compared to white officers, or how black officers are perceived in any given neighborhood where white people live.

It takes a whole lot of speculation to come to the conclusion that any time a white officer shoots a black person that race was the only reason. It doesn't seem like a compelling argument if you think about all of the factors that could be involved.

If you were going for the textbook definition of racism I guess you hit on it?

If true, that would bring up all sorts of questions and moral conundrums.

Why? He'd just killed 5 people, injured 11, and said he wanted to kill more.

He pretty much gave up his right to breathe.

I am a little conflicted by the use of explosives, but I guess it got the job done.

Im not conflicted about the use of explosives, Im just somewhat conflicted about the possibility that negotiations might not have been exactly over yet. Could cause future standoff situations to end with hostiles refusing any negotiations at all, knowing that the cops might just kill them anyways.
