IT'S NOT ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL!!!, It's about how little black life is worth in this country. it doesn't matter if you're a kid minding his/her own business or a person with a past, you can still wind up dead because cops don't value black life. No one said he was an angel, we're saying he didn't deserve to die.

I didn't say he deserved to die. But ultimately going forward unless you have some sort of a plan for a world without police, I believe what @Niklaus suggested is a very real and reasonable option.

I'm specifically talking about you saying we shouldn't get behind Alton, his past doesn't matter because it wasn't the reason he was murdered. Tamir Rice was a child who had no marks against him and he was murdered, Alton on the other hand had many marks against him and he was murdered. They represent the big picture and that is black life is worth shyt in this country, so we rally behind him because in the end he was another black person unjustly executed.

After reading up on his past crimes. I'm pretty sure homie isn't the type of cat the black community should put themselves behind as @Mowgli stated earlier. Unlike a Tamir Rice or John Crawford or even Trayvon Martin. which furthermore in my opinion should make it imperative that Black people police other Black people especially in urban areas where the policing of white cops on black citizens makes for dare I say a slave and slave master dynamic. I think it would lead to less skepticism of situations that play out like this.

Get the fukk out of here with this bullshyt.

You aren't going to impress your way out of racism.

Nikkas in suits in the 60s were being given that work.

YOU CAN'T NEGOTIATE WITH RACISM

If someone's past criminal behavior was a prerequisite for police to shoot and kill, there would be bodies on top of bodies. That's no rationale or excuse, police officers are not executioners.

Fam all I said is that black people should police black people. That's just a suggestion. I agree you can't impress your way out of racism. But with our own being the arbiter who knows how it plays out. Maybe 2 black cops beat dude ass and arrest him. he goes to jail but he's alive, there's no marching, justice is served. end of story. as opposed to what looks like what could very well be murder.

The color of the pigs doesn't matter

Look at how people are treated in Afrikan countries where basically no pigs are cacs

Whether its murder or other physical brutality, it is an institutional problem. The institution needs to be rethought, along with the socioeconomic system it serves to protect
