the Kajieme Powell shooting video

[oats]

@uh-oh I didn't hear that, but I have shitty speakers here. That definitely adds another level of extreme narcissism.

@big baby nobody is saying the dude behaved rationally or intelligently. but he stood on a wall, he didn't "make a charge." if he was brandishing a weapon that's one thing, but again, the question is - what causes a person to behave like this? because he's a crazy black man? or because there is institutionalized pressure and festering racial tension?

I'm not saying this man is free from blame. But cops are supposed to be above the average crazy guy. This video makes them seem trigger happy. but that's not my point - this is a synecdoche for a larger issue, and it gets washed out by details of these singular examples. poverty is the disease, these are flare ups. the undercurrent of systemic racism in the police force has only exacerbated the problem.
