Whatever led to the interaction is irrelevant. We all accept that blacks and whites have a different relationship with the police. I asked Ropo because his response suggested blacks should be adequately afraid for their lives and act accordingly when interacting with the police. I'm not saying he's wrong..... I'm asking if it's morally right for citizens to have that level of fear of those sworn and paid to protect them.
Staying out of trouble is best, of course.
There's no difference between the people cheering at this execution and ISIS supporters giddy over beheadings. People who think this is good are supporting terrorism against American citizens.
I was in Brazil when gangs shot down a police helicoptor with an RPG and there were 26 murders/night (in Sao Paolo alone, helicoptor incident was in Rio) and constant wars with police.
The police were constantly on edge, being pricks and pulling over people. I was in Sao Paolo and in the 2 weeks I was there I remember 5 or more murders in area I was in. It can't be easy doing your job when you have to deal with that shit - they pulled over my gf's niece had guns trained on her etc just as a routine stop - and she is light skinned before you make conclusions.
Anyway, point there is when there is mass violence against cops with chance of death, of course they will be on edge - I did not see that here, nor can I imagine it is like Sao Paolo where there are 20 million people and cops earn maybe $1000 per month.
Secondly, you cannot compare this to ISIS. This is, if proven, an illegal killing by law enforcement. I doubt the cop wanted it to be videoed or known about. It is far different to a public torturing and murdering of an innocent person for the sake of spreading terror and intimidating others. That is terrorism. Killing, or trying to, with the intent of scaring the shit out of people.
