    From the contracting stories I've heard the roofer gets disoriented due to an underlying health condition and usually not of a work place mistake.

    What does this have to do with the current situation? Not a DAMN THING.

    Police are a symptom of a society that devalues black life, specifically black males lives. When was the last time you saw a white male killed on video by Police or someone acting like a vigilante? We seen it atleast 6 times I can think of in the last 3 months happening to a black male. Hell, black people killing each other is a symptom how little people care about black lives. Society has decided you can kill a black male and get away with it (if you are not black, of course). If you commit a crime, blame it on a black person because that what society expects from black males (woman in Florida drowning her kid, blames 2 black perps that doesn’t exist. Atleast, the cops there decided to do their job). The black community cannot fix its problems until Society as a whole starts to respect Black Lives. Drugs and Gangs are part of the lack of respect for Black Lives. The Legacy of Slavery is that many People, Government entities, and Corporations still think of African Americans as lesser humans, sub-consciously or not. Black America can only do so much. Real change has to come from Majority: White America is where the power lies. The laws and leadership has to start respecting Black America or this will never change. With that change, Black America can really start to work on its issues.

    I fully agree that LEO have a very dangerous job and have to remain vigilant. None of that justifies what LEO Chauvin did or is legal exonerating. That LEO Dhaliwal gave his life while doing his duty makes Chauvin's actions even more reprehensible. It furthers the divide between LE and the communities they are there to protect and makes things far more dangerous for them.

    The only thing I hate is injustice. The blond white girl doesn't get the same trwstment even with an identical history and you know it. When you say "... that's no fault of the cops", you've already lost and YOU have become part of the problem and not part of the solution.

    The fact that you didn’t @ me says a lot. You typed out my name but didn’t want to click on it when it popped up on your screen. Scared?

    As for your ridiculous post, I remember hearing about this young man’s murder. I don’t live in that state but the prevailing sentiment was one of mourning. It sounds like he was actually doing what police officers are supposed to do.

    Why would I care about @ING? Can you do anything without threatening violence or promoting self hate?

    These events constantly show the same thing - the reason for anger amongst African Americans isn't a few isolated incidents, it's the lack of ability combined with missing father figures. Promotion of crime because of things that happened centuries ago. Cowards like you are too afraid to address this in real life and take the easy route out by blaming slavery.

    Yet every other immigrant group falls over backwards to make it to this country and never want to go back home. No other country has more successful immigrants.

    Father figures? SLAVERY?!?! Lol what the hell are you talking about. Bringing up immigrants huh... I’ll let you in on a little secret, I’m a 2nd Generation immigrant. Half of my family wasn’t even on this continent until 40 years ago, yet they’ve passed white supremacist like yourself. How pathetic.

    Another weak response from a weak man hiding behind a screen throwing insults. I don't play this game - everyone who is honest with you isn't a white supremist. Those with the courage to clean up their own backyard don't hurl insults and threats at others. Thanks for 4 more years of Trump.

    I was wondering where you saw the link to donate to the officer who was killed a few days ago. I didn’t see where the family was asking for money.

    The family of George Floyd did not asked for money and neither did the family of this slain officer, I was making a comparison.

    Nothing that led to George Floyd's death was about "vigilance".

    Dangerous, callous laziness yes. Vigilance no.
