Now you want to tell me why a black man was shot by police officers.
This time like so many before a black man was shot by police officers because he did not comply with their commands, because he resisted arrest and because he posed a threat.
We've seen too many videos, filmed by very brave people, of police officers gunning down black people. I remember that one where a young child with a mobile filmed a policeman taking careful aim and multi shooting a black man who got out of his car and ran away. He took several shots at the man's back. The police officer was in no danger.
I remember that one as well, I remember discussing it here with fool. Can't remember the criminal's name and can't find it now because the particulars are too similar to current ones. But the circumstances of that shooting were that the cop pulled over the black motorist, there was a respectful and normal interchange between them, the cop got the motorists papers and went back to his patrol car. The black man after sitting in his car for several minutes all of a sudden bolted and ran. The cop followed. There was a taser deployed without effect, the black motorist reached back and grabbed the taser out of the cops hands at which point the cop went to his next weapon, his gun and fired. My position when discussing this with fool was that the black guy got what he deserved but that the optics were absolutely horrible and if I remember correctly that cop was convicted.

Or the group of officers who draged a black man from his car on a bridge (I think) and just clubbed him repeatedly.
Rodney King. Very drunk, speeding recklessly on the highway, led the officers on a merry chase before they finally got him to pull over and then fought with them.
Got what he deserved.
