California police officer fatally shoots reportedly unarmed, mentally challenged man

LINK

Why wasn't he tasered? His sister called, let them know he had a mental disability and was unarmed. They should have taken that knowledge to the scene.

This is a prime example of poor police training. Say what you will but IMO police are more likely to shoot a Black man before they will a White.

Here are 8 white people who pointed guns at police officers — and didn’t get killed

LINK

Quote:
When a white guy is seen wandering around in public waving a gun, the police usually try to talk him down; he’s probably just having a bad day. Even if the white guy happens to be pointing his gun directly at an officer, his interaction with the police is unlikely to end in the exchange of gunfire. This is called white privilege.

Recent history suggests there’s a certain methodology for how police handle nearly identical gun-related incidents: white guys get arrested, while black guys get shot. Outraged? If not, you need to pay attention.

So a guy is going to take a shooting stance toward you, with both hands holding an object that looked like a gun pointed at you, and you want to tase him? If it was a gun you would be dead.

When his SISTER called the police, she called asking for help and clearly told them that her brother had mental health issues but was unarmed. She alerted them to the situation they would be encountering BEFORE they arrived. They arrived and witnessed a guy acting EXACTLY as she told them they would.

In the future, citizens (at least those who are non-melanin challenged) should not call 911, but instead lookup the number of the local ambulance service instead. Survival rates go up dramatically when the 1st responders idea of help isn't to kill the subject. Non-police 1st responders are much more likely to offer help than they are to kill.

A cell phone, a wallet, a balled fist, looks like a gun in the hands of a Black man.

Did you read the artices, view the videos? Eight (8) White men lived. There is no if, they had guns. If any had been Black they would have been killed. You seem to be of the group that doesn't understand that or don't care.

White men are not shot as quickly as Black men. A guy gets shot one time (1) gets up sits under a tree, talked to for 15 minuets and taken to the hospital. Do you REALLY think a Black man would have been afforded the same accord?

DAMN MAN, DON'T YOU GET IT?

Most people don't care nearly as much about "Criminal on Criminal" crime as they do about crimes upon non-criminals. We see this sentiment rear it's head even when unarmed black men are killed. There is a faction that predictably starts searching to see if the victim has a criminal history so they can have license to not care about him as well since if a black man committed a crime over a decade ago, he's a 'criminal' for life. If a white guy committed a crime over a decade ago, 'he finally grew up and deserves a break since he's paid his debt to society'.

LINK. Lot's of people care. It's something talked about and worked on daily in the Black community. The problem is deeper than those who don't know what they're talking about don't seem to understand. You're not understanding the reasons for what's deemed Black on Black crime. Education, jobs, opportunity's are some of the reasons.

How come you're not talking about White on White crime? Does it exist? Does anyone give a (bleep)?

And what the eff does that have to do with cops shooting Black men?

Blacks are not a tribe. Black people are not neurologically linked. One black person cannot be held accountable for what another black person does. Black people cannot stop blacks killing blacks by simply invoking skin color. All blacks do not know each other. All blacks do not have the same upbringing. You cannot expect a black person to stop another black person from killing another black person just because they are black, no more than you can expect a white person stopping the killing of another white person because they are white.

Not only was your statement completely racist, it was ignorant, and doesn't make sense on any level.

You know what black on black crime is called? Crime. It's no different from any other race killing each other. To believe that there is this subdivision of crime based on skin color is to believe in and perpetuate a division in humans that simply does not exist. We are all the same. You need to get it out of your head that we aren't.

Black on black crime is called crime. White on white crime is called crime. White on black crime is called crime. Black on white crime is called crime.

I don't know you think black people can specifically do about black people killing other black people, and I don't know what whatever point you were trying to make has to do with murderous cops, but it's obvious you have a problem in the way you think and view other people, and that's something you need to evaluate about yourself.

@frijolero01 People who think the way you do are are part of the problem. IMM it's a mentality that seems to want separate public restrooms, water fountains and lunch counters.

Instead of believing what you're fed by media talk to a Black person, ask about the things you say people don't give a (bleep) about. Get away from a taught attitude. Become a person who investigates and doesn't talk out the side of his neck.

I saw the photos, it looked like a guy pointing a gun at a cop holding it with both hands. Some of these killings are senseless but I can see why this one happened.

Black on black crime is no different than white on white crime. Most crime (violent or otherwise) happens in the vicinity of where one lives. You're in a concentrated community where most everyone is the same race and you have high unemployment and poverty guess what?? The crime is intra-racial by default. It's not like black people are seeking out other black people to kill. FOH. 84% of murdered whites are killed by other whites. Why? Because white people tend to live around other white people. You go back decades to the Italian Immigrants and the Jewish immigrants and they were packed in the segregated ghettos. You still had crime...lots of it. You had the rise of the mafias. You had numbers running and bootlegging and the drug trade and the sex trade even in these white and white ethnic communities. Why?? Because that's what happens in economically depressed areas. Not once did anyone ever call what Al Capone and his ilk were doing white-on-white crime. I guess Jimmy Hoffa and the Gambino Family and all those Italian and Irish crime syndicates were just white-on-white murdering specialists, right? Wrong. They were just criminals.

You see what you want to see. He's a person pointing something. How can you say it's a gun? I see a person holding something in his hand. It doesn't look like a gun to me. I can't tell what it is.

You're glossing over the gist of what's happening around the country, Black men being shot and killed by LEO's.

Why aren't you addressing the 8 White people pointing guns at policemen and not being killed? They aren't doing what so many say a person confronted by a policeman should do, do what the officer asks. The White people go home, Black are killed.

Again I ask, Don't You Get It?

What are you talking about? Of course Black People are a monolithic tribe. They are no different that the right handed people tribe and if we can paint right handed people with such a broad brush, than so to is the Black monolith fair game. So don't expect to stop hearing about Black on Black crime until we first stop hearing the incessant drone about Right hand on Right hand crime.


^^^^ Yeah, that's as dumb as the whole 'Black on Black' Crime concept sounds to an outsider. It's such a mind-numb-desperately-racist manner of considering a particular subject.

3 seconds is how long the police have to make a decision. 3 seconds to determine if it is a gun or not. If it is and they take longer, they are dead. Looking at the photo I couldn't tell what had in his hands but he was definitely mimicking a shooting stance and position. This time it is easy to see why he was shot.

Yet all the white guys he linked were pointing ACTUAL guns at Police for MORE than 3 seconds, yet live to tell the story. Thought the Police only had 3 seconds to decide?

That's true. If you go to predominantly White neighborhoods you'll see what some can say is White or White crime. Of course it's not something taught.

If you guys are going to change the subject then I guess there isn't much to see. And yes, cops are trained to respond in 3 seconds. If they don't shoot it is (obviously) because they do not feel a threat.

So a guy is going to take a shooting stance toward you, with both hands holding an object that looked like a gun pointed at you, and you want to tase him? If it was a gun you would be dead.

A cell phone, a wallet, a balled fist, looks like a gun in the hands of a Black man.

Did you read the artices, view the videos? Eight (8) White men lived. There is no if, they had guns. If any had been Black they would have been killed. You seem to be of the group that doesn't understand that or don't care.

White men are not shot as quickly as Black men. A guy gets shot one time (1) gets up sits under a tree, talked to for 15 minuets and taken to the hospital. Do you REALLY think a Black man would have been afforded the same accord?

DAMN MAN, DON'T YOU GET IT?


I saw the photos, it looked like a guy pointing a gun at a cop holding it with both hands. Some of these killings are senseless but I can see why this one happened.

You see what you want to see. He's a person pointing something. How can you say it's a gun? I see a person holding something in his hand. It doesn't look like a gun to me. I can't tell what it is.

You're glossing over the gist of what's happening around the country, Black men being shot and killed by LEO's.

Why aren't you addressing the 8 White people pointing guns at policemen and not being killed? They aren't doing what so many say a person confronted by a policeman should do, do what the officer asks. The White people go home, Black are killed.

Again I ask, Don't You Get It?


3 seconds is how long the police have to make a decision. 3 seconds to determine if it is a gun or not. If it is and they take longer, they are dead. Looking at the photo I couldn't tell what had in his hands but he was definitely mimicking a shooting stance and position. This time it is easy to see why he was shot.

Make up your mind.

You're still not addressing the dilemma, Black men being killed by the police.

Explain why 8 White people definitively hold guns and pointing them at policemen go home and a Black man holding what may be a gun gets killed.

One of the guys linked TOLD police he was going to shoot them, and pointed the gun at schoolkids as well. Yet we're suppose to believe there wasn't a perceived threat??? And obviously so? And another one spent an hour with a gun pointed at police explaining to them why he had the right to harm both they and their families.

LINK. Lot's of people care. It's something talked about and worked on daily in the Black community. The problem is deeper than those who don't know what they're talking about don't seem to understand. You're not understanding the reasons for what's deemed Black on Black crime. Education, jobs, opportunity's are some of the reasons.

How come you're not talking about White on White crime? Does it exist? Does anyone give a (bleep)?

And what the eff does that have to do with cops shooting Black men?


why does it have to be cop shooting "black men" as you so brilliantly titled your thread. Why can't it just be "cops shoot another innocent man."

Having worked on numerous cases involving alleged police brutality, it is likely that this case is very defensible from the perspective of an officer. While we may make normative arguments, my concern is simply legal. Legally, assuming the officers shot the man after he raised the object towards them, the shooting was likely justified under the law.

As a matter of law, ‘The “reasonableness” of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight." Graham v. Connor (1989) 490 U.S. 386, 396-397.

Consequently, that the man did not have a gun; or that other cops in other states on occasion behaved differently is not determinative. What is determinative is whether it is reasonable under the law for an officer to fire his or her service weapon at a person who disobeys his order and, thereafter, raises an object towards him in a shooting stance. The answer to that question is likely in the affirmative.

Have you been watching, reading the news, listening to protests? It's about bringing focus to a social issue, police shooting Black men. If that wasn't the issue it would be a cop shooting another innocent man. Unfortunately that's not the case.

Not understanding that is to possess a ostrich mentality. It's a issue all over the news. Protesting against the anthem, public protest, DOJ involvement to bring attention to the problem. Why are you ignoring the obvious?

I'm sure there have been White men shot by police this year. They don't make the news, they're not a dilemma.

I wish I could have titled "A innocent man shot by police". That would indicate the problem has been solved.

I wouldn't call my thread title brilliant, I call it descriptive. If you don't understand the reason for being real there's nothing I can say. If that offends you so be it.

As the link article says "Outraged? If not, you need to pay attention."

Quote:
When a white guy is seen wandering around in public waving a gun, the police usually try to talk him down; he’s probably just having a bad day. Even if the white guy happens to be pointing his gun directly at an officer, his interaction with the police is unlikely to end in the exchange of gunfire. This is called white privilege.

Recent history suggests there’s a certain methodology for how police handle nearly identical gun-related incidents: white guys get arrested, while black guys get shot. Outraged? If not, you need to pay attention.

Time to wake up and smell the stench.
