In the U.S., African Americans are 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police than white people. For black women, the rate is 1.4 times more likely.

More likely sure but thats cause blacks never obey any commands while whites obey mostly, yet both races are shot down in substantial numbers. Its not a race problem but a cop problem, too many shitty cops who shoot down innocent people. Though most cops do their job properly.

Yeah, this shooting definitely looks unjustified. I mean, what the fuck?

It's not surprising that people are worried when shit like this happens.

Maybe the investigation turns up something that somehow clears this officer of all wrongdoing, but I severely doubt that.

They're also more likely to kill police officers. Either black people and police both love murder or those two groups just tend to bump into each other more.

Killing someone doesn't equate to guilt.

Which is why a jury can find someone "not guilty."

Honestly, a trial is exactly what should happen here.

Depends on the evidence. It might just go to a grand jury.

The Brytish Isles wrote:Jesus Christ, how does this keep happening in the US? Is this a matter of trigger discipline or what?

There are several notable factors:

- Poor training.
- An armed society naturally leading to escalated responses.
- A culture of fear and pervasive prejudice.
- Police impunity.
- Lack of mental healthcare, in addition to a stigma around seeking treatment. (

Mix all of these together, and you get a disastrous brew with one factor feeding into others making it a bad downward spiral. For example, few mentally ill people actually commit violent crime, but a few does. This may lead to prejudice against mentally ill people, which in turn may lead to escalated responses when the police recieve reports about a mentally ill person with a gun.

The lack of mental healthcare and stigma surrounding seeking treatment also has a direct effect on police officers. It can be a stresssful and even traumatic job, and if you can't or won't get help if and when you need it...

Police abuse of power is in no way a solely western problem so I don´t exactly see your point here.


But yeah this seems very shady and the officer should be put on trial. Also the police need to be reformed and more oversight added.

Minority suspects are typically shot by minority officers. To say the police are "freakin ss officers in disguise" is to severely misunderstand the issue and it's part of why it's so difficult to solve.

The minority officers are trained by the SS acting officers and practically live with their brothers in arms. Your not surprised when they start acting that way too? Mob mentality works on police too.

these seem like important details that should be investigated further. if she was pointing a gun at the police then that would make much more sense as to why this happened.

It makes the situation worse, actually. It would mean that she had heard someone creeping around her house, and she was afraid that her life was in danger.

Yeah if you start with the assumption that you're talking about the SS you certainly can maintain that assumption in the face of evidence to the contrary.

Another killing of an innocent person in their own home by a cop, we can only hope this one will be convicted as well. I'd like to think that if several cops are convicted in high profile cases, maybe police will be more hesitant to pull the trigger.
