Seriously, how do black people feel safe in the US? And how can BLM keep protecting these idiots that are making all of them look bad. Good black citizens should be absolutely livid at the agenda BLM is pushing, but I'm not going to feel sorry for them. If BLM truly cared about the lives of black people they wouldn't tolerate this kind of anarchy and wouldn't vouch for their demented brothers.

Here, let me alter your post so it truly reflects the biggest problem in the U.S.

WTF? Did you actually just try to blame BLM for a police officer attempting to shoot an autistic person and accidentally hitting his unarmed caregiver three times? This may actually be the dumbest thing I've seen all week, and I've been following the RNC.

Build the wall please....

The wall is going to keep police officers from killing civilians?

One of the dumbest posts in the history of CP. Congrats.

No, I did not blame BLM for this incident and it looks like the officer should be found in misconduct, however his blatant cop hating post was wrong in that black people do not have to fear the police, they need to fear each other. 95% of black individuals shot and killed in the U.S. are shot by another black person.
If BLM was truly out to improve the lives of African American people their focus would be on stopping black on black crime as that is by far the biggest problem for them in the U.S. Instead it is headed by a criminal who has developed a hate group trying to disguise itself as something else. After the Dallas shootings there were plenty of tweets from BLM individuals celebrating the death of those officers. Officers who go out every day and put their lives on the line to protect people of every race. Officers who have been killed protecting the lives of people protesting against them. I am not saying there are not bad cops, of course there are, but a few bad cops are by far not the biggest problem for black people in the U.S.

Had to check several times to make sure this wasn't from the onion.

It really does come across like a bad comedy sketch.

You changing "bandwagon in flames" post, calling the cop a "victim" is laughable.

Or you could learn to read and see that there is no cop involved in what I said.

Well now you're going to have to explain that to those of us who don't know the backstory here. Calling a stupid thing stupid isn't racist, so there has to be more to it.

Ok, look at his username. Let me guess, F the police right? Totally gangsta.
Second, BLM is a hate group, pure and simple. If I said I supported a group that preached white lives matter and condoned killing black people would that be ok or would you say I am a racist a-hole? The truth is all lives matter. You tell someone in BLM that all lives matter and see the response, go ahead. The KKK, the Black Panthers who are a large part of BLM, and BLM in whole are racist hate groups.

You mean you didn't change the word "cop" to "victim"?

Maybe you should learn how to write?

[dissentowner]

Anyhow as far as the story in the OP goes as far as I can tell what this officer did was totally criminal. Regardless of how much of a powder keg things are down there he is entrusted with a weapon and to have control of use of that weapon. If everything we know is true I am totally for him being prosecuted for his actions.

What? Show me a single instance of BLM promoting the death of anyone.

Oh, and that "All lives matter" BS has been debunked many, many times.

And dissentowner is a police officer? Ugh.

Yes I did. Here, let me explain it so you can get it. I took the word "cop" out of the entire picture. The "victim" is not a cop, there is no cop in the post. I figured from the rest of the post about black on black crime that I was referring to the fact innocent black people are getting killed every day by other black people. A lot! That needs to be the focus, to help them better their community, to stop black on black crime, to elevate them out of the poverty areas and to give them opportunities to thrive. Not a war on white people and police.

And this is why in the US, fewer and fewer people trust police. While I'd imagine at least 80% of officers are in it for all the right reasons, when those good officers refuse to bring these obviously awful officers to justice, to actually punish them for excessive use of force and other unethical methods of policing, it blurs the line between "good cop" and "bad cop." Are you really a "good cop" if you look the other way when the "bad cop" is doing something blatantly wrong?

We're so quick to want all Muslims to denounce the actions of ISIS/Al Qaeda, but we're not so concerned about police officers denouncing the actions of those among their ranks who abuse their power. The work police do is very important, and there's no way on earth I would do it. But they're also give the responsibility to take life if necessary--therefore they need to be held to a higher standard. That is a responsibility that not even the President of the United States holds--there need to be standards set for police, and they need to be strictly enforced. Maybe then people would trust police again.

This is a pretty open and shut case of excessive use of force. There are situations with grey area--and then there's this. The officer was attempting to shoot an unarmed autistic man, missed and hit the man's unarmed caretaker, who was laying on his back on the ground with his hands in full view. There is no grey area here. This officer should never be on the streets again, if he can't handle a situation such as this without going for the trigger.
