The officers showed a LOT of restraint. The man was huge, advancing towards the officers, shouting, and clearly in the throes of a psychotic episode, so he is EXTREMELY lucky that he did not get shot full of holes during that tense encounter.

The number one rule when confronted by police is to COMPLY with their orders, or possibly die from their bullets, for resisting arrest. It is just idiotic to try and fight the police in ANY country, least of all the USA, and ESPECIALLY if one is of the black persuasion.

No you stop with your bullshit. African Americans do not commit a disproportionate amount of the crime. Crimes by whites is grossly under reported in the media and that is a fact. I work in the Judiciary so I should know. And so no, you do not have any worthwhile statistics to post.

Also, there is no pity party here. But willful ignorance is a sin. You have to know you past in order to appropriately chart you future. Also the acknowledgement that there is institutional racism, will only spur a person to work twice or three times as hard to overcome any obstacles in their way. Denial of what was and is, will only have the opposite effect.
Stop playing ludo, when others are playing chess.

dominique:
He's so lucky he wasn't shot multiple times

Penisinpenisout:


Tell them to come back to Africa, their home, where they were taken from and see the response you'll get. Abi who no like him house?

oyetpel:


He didn't carry a fire arm, there is nothing dangerous about him for them to shoot him, just that he was resisting arresting.

skallion7:
Grateful For Slavery?, your mentality is scary.

skarlett:
African Americans should be grateful for slavery, if this had happened in Nigeria, his family would be making funeral arrangements rn

xreal:
I hail Nigerian Police, dem for don shoot am at first sight, plant a weapon in his pocession and claim him an armed robber.



No time to swing batton.

eDeity:

Even at that.
There are Asian leaving in America and probably wouldn't like to leave American again. So what would you say of that??
Should they also be grateful to slavery?

Jakumo:


A man that big could KILL a person with a single punch. If a rampaging man happened to have martial-arts training, he could deliver a devastating death-punch even if he was not physically imposing, so the fact that the deranged individual in this instance was not carrying a weapon did NOT mean he posed no immediate threat that COULD have merited deadly force as a police response.

A suspect aggressively advancing towards a police officer COULD have the intention of disarming the cop, and shooting him with his service weapon. The officer in such a situation has FRACTIONS of a second to decide whether to reach for his baton, his taser, or his semi-auto handgun, IN ORDER TO protect his life, and that of bystanders.

Once again, the officers here acted with measured restraint, and took the suspect down in a textbook tackle involving multiple officers that were essential to subdue that grizzly bear of a man.

HERE dem de front sars too ooo...only one guy enter full police station without gun beat any sight police take their ak 47 bail up dpo join..some guys get liver... just say police push him mom during brothers arrest..

hidhrhis:

as long as u are not with a weapon american police won't shoot u

oyetpel:


We are talking about this guy, not instances.

What he did was that he restricted arrest, no other ulterior motive to harm the policemen and they also knew that. But they couldn't restrain him.

Imagine being this one sided.
Imagine not being able to recognise your own fault.
Imagine using "racism" as the bane of your argument.
"We din du nuffin"
"We wuz oppressed and shieet!!!"
Absolute garbage post.
10/10 bait.

Jakumo:


In most states of the union, VIOLENTLY resisting arrest is grounds for the use of deadly force by responding police officers. Noting that this screaming subject had lost his mind, the officers in this incident compassionately decided to grapple the man and cuff him, instead of blowing him apart in a hail of gunfire, which COULD have been the response applied, with no fear of legal repercussions on the part of the responding officers.

oyetpel:


One question, are you saying this because he is black?

Or do you think they can also do what you stated here to a white boy?

jaxxy:
The police didn't follow the right procedure and dats why it escalated. They shud all hv grabbed him at sametime and pined him down, cuffed him and made the arrest.

Phut:


I Dey tell you. People were seen as less than human (3/4 human) hence calling them monkeys. They were treated as property (chattel), worked and beaten and raped to death for the slightest of reasons. Had their children sold away from them (families torn apart). Had their culture and everything that makes a human, stripped away from them. Those same injustices remain today, only in a more covert manner. And here you have Skarlet saying that there were fortunate for slavery. It’s better to keep one’s mouth shut, than to open it and remove all doubts about their ignorance. Speak only on what you know.

oyetpel:



There are many accounts of police shooting blacks that doesn't even pose a threat to them. So American police shoot, but it's not an official procedure to shoot an unarmed suspect, what they do is restrain and arrest them, don't why people are yelling that he should be thankful for not been given the lead.

Jakumo:


Unarmed yet agitated American citizens of ALL races have been felled by police bullets throughout modern history, when orders to stop aggressive behavior were ignored, leaving the officers, and bystanders, in possible danger.

It is NOT a "black thing", to be shot for resisting arrest. It behooves ALL civilians, or ALL races, to respect that police uniform, and comply quietly with all instructions, as the best way to minimize the odds of winding up as a dead statistic. Confronting armed police is suicidal in ANY land.

Zane2point4:


unfortunately those black Americans are salvages, even today in America.
its better you marry a white woman than black American woman, they're pure salvage.
i don't root for racism nor slave trade but those people aint worth our time.
