White cops do seem to like shooting balck guys.
scary thing is so many instances like this are not reported or known about because police suppress footage and it never surfaces
Let's not jump to conclusions ey and start saying they shot an innocent black man.
Wasn't there a case recently where it took them about a year to release the video evidence after they had basically done nothing to the police involved?

It's happening a bit too often now, there is clearly a difference in the way the cops in America approach potential criminals based on race.
Some of the footage of police murdering black folk is disgusting.
The majority though, you can understand why they shot. Especially if people are innocent and unarmed, they should just learn to follow police instructions.

There's a handful of clearly unwarranted shootings. The man in a car, the one who ran away, the one who planted his taser on, and I'm sure many not captured on video.
If in danger, defend yourself, it isn't a police officers duty to decide a mans life because he is breaking the law.

So basically straight away you are assuming then because of previous incidents. Unfortunately USA thousands of people get shot every year yet one or two get reported in the media where police have been wrong. Also YouTube footage or whatever only ever shows a small clip and suddenly everyone jumps on the bandwagon

It's not likely there would but such demonstrations without a good idea of wrong doing tbh.
Apparently this man was held down and shot.

That's true Busby, racial tension in the US is at it's highest for a good while now, the whole Black Lives Matter movement (which has many many faults), Ferguson etc. All stoking the flames.
What get's me the most is the total denial of a gum culture problem from the right, Trump would give every non Musilm American citizen a gun for a vote if he could.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Demonstrations mean nothing
There was massive Demos and violence after the Duggan shooting yet the police were proved lawful. People just read what they want in the media who also garner info from most of the time non credible sources
We had an incident like this happen in our wee town a few months ago. Police responded to a guy wandering in and out of traffic in the main square. They arrived, he pulled a knife, they shot him.
I watched 3 different news channels that evening and each one was the same. Desperately trying to get the next big 'white cop shoots non white civilian' story. Their line of questioning to the witnesses interviewed was the same to a man. Essentially trying to find the slightest indication the the police were heavy handed or unjustified.
Despite the tragedy, the way the media clamours over these events leaves s sour taste

That's what happened just seen the vid on twitter, he is held face down, cop tells him to stop struggling, then basically shoots him.
Now maybe he had a gun etc. but from the video it does not look good for the cops.

The media defo push that angle, especially around election time, Hillary no doubt will have a statment on this, gun control etc. Use this to have a pop at the right while preaching to the liberal left.
It's horrible really but that the reailty.
The video footage is on Twitter

How do you see the election going Man from?
To be honest at thsi stage I see very little difference between the far left and right, the far left have gone so far left that they are every bit as agressive (if not more so) than the far right who would normally be considerd to be the agressive ones.
Like just look at the anti Trum rallies, full of crazy insane liberal's screaming and freaking out.

The worst was the man choked to death, 5 or 6 cops holding him down and he repeated about 10 times I can't breath. He then died.
Seems some people wouldn't have problem if the cop was black. Why are these stories all about the colour of everyone involved?

Personally I'd take 'crazy insane liberal' over crazy insane racist hate momgering bigots any day of the week.
As for the election? No idea. Thought trump would have no chance of the GOP nomination to start with and look how that ended up. Considering he is the candidate for president and looking at what happened with brexit too, the manipulation of people's fears by the right is running much deeper than first thought.
Makes the election impossible to call in my book

UI'd normally agree with you on that but some of the footage I've seen of the liberal left, coupled with social media they are really becoming a hate mobmuch liek a far right racist.
The rise of far right politics in the West is a worry.
Difference being the extreme liberals are hateful of racist bigots, where the extreme right are hateful of people with dark skin and different religions
