More to it, like race possibly? It’s certainly a fair question to ask that if Jean was white does she still shoot him?

PETA kills healthy puppies? Link?

Agree. And even in the second scenario it should take much longer than 14 months to determine that

Based on your earlier statement, would you agree that Botham Jean qualifies as an “upstanding black man killed by cops”?

Also keep in mind this was his original claim, no mention of it being “because” of being black

I mean, are you guys looking for an example where the murdering officer admitted they only killed them because they were black?

Gunned down by a police officer for being black. Take the L

Biggest reason to be upset IMO is because it was only 14 months old

You?

Yeah shooting puppies is NBD. FFS. You’re such a sheep.

If every puppy that bit someone got executed, there wouldn’t be any left

Great song (sorry accidentally put in wrong thread at first, thanks @Engorgeous George)

Great song

Botham Jean

Sorry I worded that poorly. I didn’t mean to say Scott was an example of an “upstanding” black getting killed, I was saying he was an example of the protests not getting out of hand despite an egregious incident because the officer was charged quickly.

Yeah only took about 4 months in Ferguson

Good to know there were no riots in Ferguson after Michael Brown and Baltimore after Freddie Gray

In my opinion, generally speaking for these types of incidents the biggest reason for the protests is so that charges are pressed against the officers. In this case, also in my opinion, they didn’t really appear to do anything wrong. Earlier @RaiderHaters Revenge said something like “I’ve never seen an upstanding black guy get killed by cops.” But I’m sure that’s not true if you do a few minutes of research, the most egregious examples don’t often get much press because the officers get charged quickly. Such as with Walter Scott for example, and there were still some protests for him anyway despite the lackluster memory of some of the Geek Club’s more elderly posters.

No that was you. My first post about it just said “hopefully,” you’re the one that came in telling me to “do the numbers” implying that it was a lower % in rural areas.

How do you know they’re wrong, do you have the numbers dummy?

Sure, can you provide the statistics for the number of times police approach a residence in a rural area and the police are shot at by the residents vs the number of times police approach a residence in a city and the police are shot at by the residents? I’d guess the % is actually higher for the rural area, but don’t have the numbers handy.

Trayvon Martin, 2012, Obama Eric Garner, 2014, Obama Michael Brown, 2014, Obama Tamir Rice, 2014, Obama Walter Scott, 2015, Obama Freddie Gray, 2015, Obama Philando Castile, July 2016, Obama Take the L, gaslighter

Hopefully they don’t often end with the police getting shot like by redneck Larry Acree

No, this guy was being belligerent and was clearly on something

So what would you do if the person I described is walking the opposite direction as you on the same side of the street at night?
