Baton Rouge cops brutally shoot and kill black man (RIP Alton Sterling)

No. They shouldnt riot. Said it before, but riots are essentially temper tantrums. The need to wait and see what happens and play it cool. When the dust settles, and folks think its cool........the cop...........and I'll leave it at that. Rioting accomplishes nothing.

Believe me riots is how the world hear about these situations

The officers were wearing body cameras, but they fell off during the incident, State Representative Denise Marcelle told WAFB-TV.

You're right but at the same time peaceful protest doesn't accomplish anything. I'd rather see them riot in the downtown area where all the government buildings are instead of destroying their own shyt in the hoods.

Gonna be real interesting to see how this unfolds. That video is damning. Its an executional style murder and its going viral from what I can tell. I googled that name 10 minutes ago and then again a moment ago and the news results doubled. This story is gonna be hot. Noteworthy that white folks are pissed about Jesse Williams and then this video leaks. I think any pundit who tries to spin this deserves to be a target too. I'm all for open dialogue on race and I dont always with some of my own, but theres nothing to discuss or debate with this video. Its open and shut. It was an execution.

And pardon my ignorance, but what good resulted from the riots? Other than the world hearing about it?

and theyre going to keep killing us....because black ppl refuse to face the harsh reality, that nobody fukking like us, outside of emulating our swag and creativity

 

[Rell84shots]

Yet...they'll tell us that we should respect what police officers do. My family has a few cops in it, I try to respect police (and I do for the most part), but stuff like this makes me angry...



I know there are good ones out there, but those "good" ones rarely ever speak up on the bad, they seemingly "protect" them. Then we get told that there's no bias in law enforcement, we're just imagining things smh playing the "race card" again

If the "good ones" don't speak up then they're the bad ones.

Holy shyt. They gotta riot if these cops get off.

Believe me riots is how the world hear about these situations

So does anything happen when the world hears about it?

Not trying to be a smart ass or anything

This is life for the Black American Man.


The Blacks with Money, Power and Influence are too shook to do anything.

he Blacks with Money, Power and Influence are too shook to do anything

they're not really shook it's just an issue that doesn't really affect them. I mean how many times do you hear stories of upper middle class and up black people being killed by police?

Also the ones that do care probably don't know what to do to solve the issue.

The US can't go around anymore on their high horse while there are still injustice going on internally, at this point it has been shown again and again that DA's fail to charge these killers maybe the focus should be to find a way to make them more accountable

Once again, you're right. I just don't trust this justice system against African Americans no matter how clear cut the case is. The last 300 years have told us to not have faith in the system. I won't be happy until an actual guilty verdict is read. Getting indicted doesn't mean anything either. It just seems like when there are no more cracks to slip through, more magically open. We'll see.
