what does this picture mean to you?

Posted by lnana04

I left the quote on it because I understand what it is being used to illustrate but... Really? You think this is a race issue and white people and white cops want "innocent" black people shot, while white murderers aren't?

I don't know who any of these people are. I don't know the stories or details. But seeing as the multiple murderers were all multiple murderers, I have to assume the cops had been looking for them. Like, really hard. Those are obviously bad people who need to be found and taken off the streets. Surely you're not suggesting the police hunt down and kill people instead of arresting them are you?

The people who had not murdered anyone, who were themselves killed by police... That leads me to assume a more random or chance encounter. The story is picture was quoted from is where a young man robbed a store, resisted arrest, and was shot. It strikes me that perhaps the reason he was shot is because he resisted. There was no task force looking for this random black kid to stop him before he commits a crime. He did something wrong, he got caught, he made it worse.

I don't even know all the details in that case and am not looking for a debate about whether that shooting was justified or not.

I'm interested in the picture. Do you really look at it and say "Well, obviously the police are specifically targeting and murdering black people"?

Oh!

And does the realization that these pictures were specifically picked to fit this theme even come...or matter? You realize that someone could dig up as many pictures where the stats are reversed right?

All I will say is you are naive in what's really going on in the world. I don't feel comfortable elaborating because I try to stay under the radar online I have so many things going against me already. if we were in person it would be different. Perhaps other people are willing to represent me.

The world or just your part of the world? I seriously can't take any of this shit seriously especially when a lot of people pretend they know all of the world's problems.

Tunnel vision at it's fucking best.

I'm glad you feel comfortable. I'm not going to have opportunities taken away from me because our great nation is bribing me not to speak the truth. I'm not blessed I'll take what I can .

This year every young black youth I know studying has obtained substantial scholarships. Our behavior in general has changed.

Okay here comes random users probably white or Asian coming in feeling left out

Yes Asian man I've Your picture. 😉 my mother is black woman so the government does not Check my complexion using iPhone in the sunlight.

The context of my ass. I would ignore this but your arrogance is too much? How are you speaking on behalf of Ferguson to a white man? Your telling me Asian cops are will going to profile black youths okaaaaay. I may be light skinned but do you think they care and secondly so you have any family or loved ones to fight for?

I think this picture means that someone didn't take the time to consider who was compliant and who wasn't during the time of apprehension.

In certain situations it didn't matter if the person was compliant or not, they still ended up as road kill or with their face stuck to the pavement.

W1. James Eagan Holmes:

"apprehended outside his White Hyundai parked in the back of the theater" and that he "surrendered without any significant incident??

W2. Scott Evans Dekraai:

A half a mile away in his car, they apprehended suspect Scott Evans Dekraai of Huntington Beach, 42 years old. —He was cooperative. He did not provide any resistance to the officers, and he was taken into custody,??

W3. Jared Loughner

Loughner was subdued by bystanders and was arrested by police, saying, "I plead the Fifth," as he was taken into custody.
W4. Christopher Speight

He turned himself in without incident.
W5. Jesse James Warren

Warren was arrested a mile away after he left in a red Chevrolet S-10 truck (I have no idea if he was combative or not)
W6. Amy Bishop

Bishop attempted to fire more shots, but her gun jammed, according to testimony. She was shoved outside and faculty members barred the door inside the Shelby Center on the UAH campus. Bishop fled the scene, stashing her gun and jacket in a bathroom, borrowed a phone and called her husband for a ride and was waiting on a loading dock off a building side entrance, when she was apprehended, prosecutors said.

B.1 Michael Brown Jr.

We already know what's going on.
B2. Eric Garner

Eric Garner died of a heart attack while police officers were arresting him for the suspected sale of untaxed cigarettes.[3][4] Garner previously had been arrested for selling untaxed cigarettes. When a police officer attempted to arrest Garner, he had broken up a fight which brought additional police units to the scene. He was approached by police officer Justin Damico.[5][6] A New York City Police Department officer, Daniel Pantaleo, put Garner on the ground by the use of force, which included the use of a chokehold, backed by video evidence of the event.[1] Garner died some minutes later. NYPD Union leader Patrick Lynch challenged that chokehold claim.[7]
On August 1, 2014, medical examiners concluded chokehold and chest compression as the primary causes of Garner's death and Garner's heart problems, obesity and asthma as additional factors

B3. Jordan Davis

OK NOT KILLED BY A COP! And the person that shot this kid was sentenced to life
B4. Ezell Ford:

The police say that during an "investigative stop," a struggle ensued in which Ford"turned, grabbed one of the officers." After that, "they fell to the ground," and Ford allegedly attempted to pull an officer's handgun from its holster. The "partner officer then fired his handgun and the officer on the ground fired his backup weapon" at Ford. (also it was well known that Ezell was mental unstable)
B5. Sean Bell

The New York Post reported that Joseph Guzman had an argument with a man outside the bar, and threatened to get a gun. One of Bell's friends reportedly said, "Yo, get my gun," as they left the club.[9] Thinking a shooting was about to take place, an African American plain-clothes officer named Gescard Isnora followed Bell and his companions. He alerted his backup team, who confronted Bell and his companions outside.[9] According to Isnora, he "held out his badge, identified hims

All were non compliant and resisted arrest, but are "still amongst the living". Give me a minute and I'll pull the statistics on the one's that DID comply, but still ended up SIX FEET UNDER. Also, I don't know about you, but I'm very non compliant when I am accused of something that I KNOW I DIDN'T DO..it's apart of human nature to become defensive when you are profiled/singled out, but I wouldn't expect you to understand that. Anyway..no caption needed, pic's self explanatory.
