As tragic as this shooting is, I could only guess the officer did not wake up that morning and had the premeditated idea of shooting a black man and face the scrutiny she is about to go through. We cannot villanize a whole organization because of incidents like this, like Rapinoe and Kapernick are trying to do. That is why police officers are being attacked and killed. Because of these athletes success, like politicians and outspoken entertainers, they have the luxury to live in their insulated shelter enviroment and can afford to be those armchair activist. Put yourself in the shoes of this female officer, clearly her fear overwhelmed her during this incident and impacted her judgement. Some folks just shouldn't do that type of work. I am only speculating when I say that there are inherent risks and dangers when it comes to being in the military and law enforcement. Unfortunately, they have to be always perfect in their decision making, at the most critical stressful moment. I still admire those that are willing to risk everything, in order to provide the security and freedom so many take for granted.
Totally agree, it seems that being brave when faced with danger is not a criteria anymore.The victim in this case was unarmed, and not threatening anyone.
Some people shouldn't be cops.

Even killing an unarmed individual and destroying that families lives?As tragic as this shooting is, I could only guess the officer did not wake up that morning and had the premeditated idea of shooting a black man and face the scrutiny she is about to go through.

To set the record straight so you can unravel your bunched up panties, it is tragic this unarmed man was killed by a person who should never have been given that position. I do not believe it was premeditated, her fear during the situation overwhelmed her decision making. As stated some people shouldn't be cops.
It's adorable how you think the athletes disrespecting the flag actually care about this social issue, and aren't just garnering attention for themselves. a second string quarterback and an almost has been women's soccer player are spokespeople for human rights? not hardly. and if they were, they would do so in a constructive way, not a derisive, caustic, and controversial way that separates people more. absolutely adorable.This is one of the reasons why sports athletes are protesting. I hope these cops rot in jail!

Women shouldn't be in that situation, as well as firemen or in the regular military. It puts peoples lives in danger. This situation has been brought to you by political correctness.*Her fear (of Black people) during the situation "overwhelmed" (influenced) her decision making. As stated "some people" (racists) shouldn't be cops.

I never posted that I agreed with the athletes using the anthem and flag as their platform, but it's their freedom of speech/expression if they elect to do so.It's adorable how you think the athletes disrespecting the flag actually care about this social issue, and aren't just garnering attention for themselves. a second string quarterback and an almost has been women's soccer player are spokespeople for human rights? not hardly. and if they were, they would do so in a constructive way, not a derisive, caustic, and controversial way that separates people more. absolutely adorable.
Freedom of speech does not apply in the private workplace, it is between the citizen and the government.I never posted that I agreed with the athletes using the anthem and flag as their platform, but it's their freedom of speech/expression if they elect to do so.
Everyone has the freedom of speech in the work place, because I can say F off to my boss....the consequence is I could be fired for it, but won't be arrested for it.Freedom of speech does not apply in the private workplace, it is between the citizen and the government.
Try go telling your boss to f-off and when he fires you, tell him you had the right of free speech.
The day is young.Everyone has the freedom of speech in the work place, because I can say F off to my boss....the consequence is I could be fired for it, but won't be arrested for it.
For someone that is new with an 02 player, curious as to why you haven't posted in the GU2002 thread.
Just as its everyone else's freedom to call out what a jackass they are.I never posted that I agreed with the athletes using the anthem and flag as their platform, but it's their freedom of speech/expression if they elect to do so.
Cops who murder should go to prison.This is one of the reasons why sports athletes are protesting. I hope these cops rot in jail!
