2 min vid gives insight to the root of blacks frustration with some law enforcement in America

[uponit7771]

this is resisting arrest and the man is not killed

could you imagine a black or brown person being alive for doing half of what this suspect did?


your take?

1. Really? Do Folks really do not get that this has been going on for decades?

Cops can no longer lie, Cell phones,internet changed that for them...

I'm sad shit like this is even posted on DU

2. Anecdotal fallacy

Its a fallacy to imply that because this example happened once, its the way it always is. Would these cops have shot a black man in the same situation? Who knows?

Would the cop who shot sterling have shot this man? Who knows?

Different people react differently, but hundreds of people black and white resist arrest every day and are not shot.

3. The problem woith you calling this fallacious, is this is one example of literally thousands

White arrest resisters are far more likely to not be shot that black people who are simply in an encounter with cops.

You have absolutely no concept of what it is like to be black in America and the added risk to your life ANY encounter with cops carry simply because you are black.

And you never will.

4. A young black man is 21 time more likely to be shot by cops than their white counter parts so no its

... not anecdotal at all.

If there weren't statistics backing up the claim that whites and blacks are treated different when it comes to excessive force you'd have a technical point.
