these are fucked up, espescially when we don't know any of the facts. like in this case for sure, this is the first im seeing it. but it aint recording until he is already shot.

and the alton sterling one in both videos you don't see what led up to it, and you can't see if he is reaching

either way both could be proven to be excessive for sure

its just maddening because what course of action can actually be taken?

also i hate the fact my brain plays the contrarian constantly lol. but its like you see people on facebook and twitter, granted i havent seen anything about this one, just the alton sterling one, posting gun laws in louisiana like you don't need to be licensed/have a permit to own a gun, but they ignore the fact that the guy was a felon, so he isn't legally allowed to own one, permitted or not. then they blame the media like OH well why you putting his record out there!!! it doesn't matter he was murdered! and dumbass memes like man killed by police, police record put online, white man rapes girl, swimtimes put online. white kid didnt have a record lol wtf

but yea its all a shame. i have no answers to any of it. this one could clearly be way worse than the alton sterling one, because if even its remotely close to the story the woman is saying than thats a bad one, unavoidable by the person killed. he wouldve followed the letter of the law, letting the officer know he was licensed and it was on him etc, where as alton sterling may not have deserved to be shot, he was still a felon carrying a firearm which is illegal, and he was resisting arrest.

whats the answer to all this?

I saw the Alton Sterling videos, and like all the other videos, all I can see are the results of a reaction made by a person or persons who are terrified or greatly agitated. These cops are overreacting because they're scared/angry, and have held onto that fear or anger so long it finally erupted at the worst possible time. Of course those cops need to be tried for murder, as they would try me if I'd done what they did. But, what really REALLY needs to be done though, is getting a really massive amount of competent psychiatric doctors on-site at all police departments, and help these guys deal with their issues BEFORE they go viral for snapping and contributing to the Helter Skelter the media wants us to believe is occurring. We see soldiers and Marines come back from war...snap and then kill someone and/or themselves; something tells me a lot of cops are suffering from similar neurological conditions and because it's "just their job," they're not dealing with caustic dilemmas within them. Again...that was definitely murder, and though I don't understand why it happened, I do understand that there's probably a long list of reasons why, which was certainly years in the making.
