    Who's to say Blake didn't comply? Philando Castile complied and was murdered. Brenna Taylor wasn't given a chance to comply. The Phoenix barbie couple complied and was abused. If you think you will be abused or killed no matter what you do - are you going to lay down or are you going to fight?

    Between 2% and 10% of felony convictions are unjust. LA cops just lost access to a gang member identification database for falsely entering names of non gang members.

    One bad apple spoils the barrel. If these departments were serious about being effective gaurdians of their communities they should at least adopt the reforms advocated by the Heritage Foundation.

    Mr. Blake has a history of violence, he had a warrant for his arrest, he fought with the police and reached for a knife.
    The liberal solution is to defund the police and abolish prisons.
    The conservative solution is to enforce the laws.
    It is up to we the people to decide witch way we go from here.

    Again all are exceptions to the rule. You pick the 1 out of 10.

    The reality is if the "protestors" were really concerned about protecting black lives. They'd be protesting in Chicago. Where 64 people were shot. But they are not there. Are they? Black on black violence counts for the majority of deaths. But not a lot of protesting about it. Zero in fact.

    The LA cops losing access to the gang database is an example of an overreaction that is harmful to the community, made by “leaders” that can’t lead. If there is a problem with abuse, there should have been reprimands, firings, and corrections made. You don’t cut off your arm because it has a bruise on it. You don’t defund police because the institution needs reform. You don’t marginalize cops if you want good policing. Doing so ensures that the good ones disappear and the bad apples that just want to crack heads remain.

    Police are not the problem. Rampant crime is the problem. Fix a communities crime problem and the policing problems will take care of themselves.

    The video was very explicit. I described exactly what I saw. You do not pull away from the police and you do not reach in your vehicle. What part of that are you trying to defend? If you were a cop and night after night you encountered people with weapons and drugs it would get old very fast. They get lied to every day. There is another thread where 64 people were shot in one weekend in Chicago. 4 were killed. A month ago 59 were shot and 4 were killed, including a 3 year old girl. Do you believe this to be normal behavior from a group of people? This is just ONE city, not the entire country. You are wasting your time trying to defend anything regarding this. And for every name you post up there I could probably post 1000 that have murdered innocent people. You are cherry picking.

    Do you have any idea how many protests there are about community violence in Chicago? They just don't make the news.

    You wondered why this is happening. Its happening because of a pattern of misconduct and disenfranchisement.

    Exactly, and just who is running those cities and states that allows it?
