It’s very clear to me, that many Police are under trained for the power and responsibility they are allowed to have, in American Society.
It is also very clear, that racism is a factor in these killings, which is obvious to many, but continues to be denied by some, and it is this denial which partially allows it to continue.
It is a basic construct that the first step in dealing with a problem is recognizing it exists.
It is ironic that @nonameslefttouse provided such compelling evidence of the two tiered system of justice. I mean can anyone really imagine a person of color surviving a confrontation with the Police while armed with an assault weapon?
Your comment:
That much is obvious. Maybe one day I'll get to live in a country that doesn't murder citizens for the crime of driving while black.
This is very illustrative of the problem.
Lethal encounters for non-felony stops are inexcusable in most countries regardless of skin color to start with, but in addition, lethal encounters with unarmed people are a huge failure of the system on all levels.
I think you hit the nail on the head, poor training, little accountability and racism, sexism and/or ignorance combined with guns and the freedom to stop people for any reason equals very poor outcomes.
The Founding Fathers Words fall on deaf ears... We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights...including freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
The infamous American Bill of Rights guarantees Americans many basic rights, but it is meaningless unless our Police are trained to respect the Bill of Rights for all citizens.
Your other idea about people of color controlling their currency as a pathway to power deserves a post of its own, as it could be the pathway to freedom for both whites and people of color who are all oppressed by this current system.

Yeah cryptocurrency will be the base in which we can build trustless systems between different economies.
The sooner a crypto that supports black people comes out the better...
but that really goes the same for all communities.
Those videos I shared had nothing to do with race. I picked some random videos showing how people put these cops in life or death situations, showing how it can happen out of the blue. The reason I shared videos is because he called these people cowards. You yourself say they need better training, but how much training would have changed the outcomes in those videos? Twisting my intention out of context to suit this narrative, that's a low blow.
Ha look at that someone misinterpreted what you posted on accident in the exact way I did it on purpose.
And now you accuse them of doing it on purpose as well.
Ya tilted! Gotcha!
That's gotta be some kind of irony.
Unfortunately it is not.
It's ironic in the way that people always use the word incorrectly.
No wait maybe it is ironic because you wouldn't have made the mistake if I said nothing.
Nope my brains are scrambled eggs now.
"Compelling evidence" and "I mean can anyone really imagine a person of color surviving a confrontation with the Police while armed with an assault weapon?"
That's what's known as 'sensationalism'.
I enjoy watching a lot of law enforcement content, including encounters people record. A quick search brings up stuff like this.
Enjoy your 'gotcha moment'. I'm fine.
And I just noticed your comment came before his comment but before I got a chance to clarify. So your intentional misinterpretation may have played a role. Classic game of misdirection. Make people look one way, so that's the way they look. The media like to do that a lot, too.
Nah being a troll has lost its fun one of these days I'll stop going through the motions.
I find myself on the outside of nearly every echo chamber in existence. If you think trolls have it bad. Try being a freak.
