I loved the quote from her mom..."she was a loving person"

yea, she loved to stab people.

I also liked the video posted by tinsel. If you watch it closely, after she attempts to stab the first girl and she gets thrown to the ground, some dude tries to kick the girl that is laying down right in the face. It looked like he might have connected.

Also, that loving mother...a single mother of 5...why was your 16 year old kid in foster care?

she also made the point that her daughter was an honor roll student in addition to being a loving person, so this shouldn't have happened. I watched the video a few times and it's clear the shooter never asked for her high school transcripts or even her GPA, he just saw the knife and shot her.

Proportionally, the ratio of black people being shot to death is 4X the difference in population ratio vis a vis white people. Numerically, 2X more white people are shot to death by police. But I don?t think it?s wholly because police are out to shoot black people, or any one, for that matter. The vast majority of shooting victims are armed and and more than 60% have possession of a firearm.

Washington Post?s database of fatal police shootings showed 14 unarmed Black victims and 25 unarmed white victims in 2019. The database does not include those killed by other means, like George Floyd.

The number of unarmed Black shooting victims is down 63% from 2015, when the database began. There are about 7,300 Black homicide victims a year. The 14 unarmed victims in fatal police shootings would comprise only 0.2% of that total.​

you're preaching to the choir here. I'm not sure if it's in the Heather Mac Donald piece that you posted but her research shows that when you account for crime rates and look at interactions with police, rather than percentage of the general population, it indicates the cops actually show more restraint when dealing with black suspects. Adjusted for police interactions with civilians, you're more likely to be shot by cops if you're white than if you're black.

Heather MacDonald:

Heather Lynn Mac Donald (born November 23, 1956) is an American conservative political commentator, essayist, attorney, and author.[2][3][4][5] She is a Thomas W. Smith Fellow of the Manhattan Institute[6] and a contributing editor of the institute's City Journal.[7][8] She has written numerous editorials and is the author of several books.​

Her piece isn't research; she's paid money by really rich assholes to write things like that. If she wrote a piece that didn't defend the police and downplay the racism inherent in big city policing, the Manhattan Institute would fire her and stop paying her a lot of money.

pretty rich coming from the guy who is constantly trying to pass off partisan editorial content from left wing hack websites as evidence for your absurd positions.

And the Manhattan Institute should fire her if she stopped telling the truth about policing.

....

"constantly" ... okay. you can probably find some examples of me doing that easily then.

So...BLM self preservation rule vis a vis the police of the day: If you are a teenage black girl in the process of trying to kill one or more other teenage black girls with a knife and the police show up, instead of continuing to try to kill those other girls, stop trying to kill those other girls instead.

saw an interview of her mom. She said that her daughter was peaceful and loving. Maybe her mom didn't see the video of her peaceful and loving daughter trying to stab two people.

I heard the girl who ended up not being murdered thanked the officer for saving her life.

No, they showed a video of a cop SAVING a black girl by preventing a criminal from killing her. The criminal's characteristics are immaterial as the cop would have performed the same actions regardless of any changes made to any of the criminal's characteristics. Serve & Protect, which is what this officer did...he protected a person who happens to be a black girl. The fact the criminal was also a black girl is immaterial as her race and sex were not factors in the officer deciding to shoot, only the criminal action of making an attempt to stab someone. Completely justified and thankfully he did not delay a half second or the criminal would have killed the black girl. His reaction time and ability to carry out the actions necessary to protect that girl should be commended, instead the BLM backers only care about the criminal and not the cop nor person who barely escaped with her life thanks to this fine officer.

1 person has posted the video and I haven't seen anything from him in any other posts that would indicate he's upset Chauvin was convicted. Same for all the people commenting on the video - no a single person has expressed any agner about it. It's far more likely the case that you are disappointed the cop in Ohio was justified in his use of deadly force - like the overwhelming majority of cases of police involved shootings.

You think? There are always going to be some posts pointing in every possible direction, her family of course, and then Russian and Chinese provacatuers will try to amplify it and some buy into those efforts because they know what they are doing, but I don't think this is blowing up the same way.

The girl the cops saved is being harassed and threatened.

Well, we know Tim Gunn has threatened her for wearing that freakin? pink/fuchsia jump suit out in public.

So hideous.

Well, it was me - your actual real life buddy - who posted the video you?re referring to - post #1835; and it was me - your actual real life buddy - who expressed zero empathy/sympathy for the fate of Derek Chauvin, post #1807.

So if you have a problem with anybody, you should leave everybody else out of it, and take it up directly with me - your actual real life buddy.

was that not what you guys were doing?

"Hey, this is bad... public opinion seems to be moving against the police. Here's a video of a cop shooting a black person in what appears to be justified case of the use of deadly force... so maybe cops aren't all that racist. let's stop talking about all the cops who murdered unarmed victims, and focus on that one"

Is that a quote from a poster? If so, whom? If not, why post it? And, according to the Washington Post, since 2015, 94% of all people fatally shot by police were armed.

but you can LEGALLY be armed in this country. and 6% is still a lot of people. and why do police in America kill Americans at a much higher rate than other countries?

At what point can one start to conclude there is a problem here?

Why do police in other countries kill its citizens at much higher rate than the US?

At what point can one start to conclude there is a problem here?

How many legally armed Americans were killed by the police in the US?
