So I Google this persons name and find that they made violent, and suicidal threats on Facebook, then stabbed a man to death, and then pointed a gun at officers, and got blasted.
I really feel like I'm going crazy sometimes when I see shite like this.
This reminds me of another annoying white people post going around

We have to do better. It’s already a scary world
How many of the names on that list were actually unjustified? And why do we pretend this doesn't also happen to other races?

I have had that post 5 times today. I never knew I had such virtuous Facebook friends

Is committing any crime a justification for being killed? What is the point of our justice system then?
I didn't vote for police to be judge, jury, and executioner all in one. I don't want them to be. And did you even read the list?

Alton Sterling was going for a gun, not to mention doing more than just selling CdDs when the police were called.
Mike Brown was justifiably shot, and his case was what started BLM with the BS "hands up, don't shoot" lie.

No I didn’t read the entire list because after I got past CD’s, walking to the corner store, and playing cops and robbers I knew the post wasn’t genuine as those three scenarios directly threatened cops with physical violence.
And yes I know it’s a plastic gun, but it looked like a fricking real one and police were responding to a call that a guy was pointing a gun at people.
Also, Trayvon wasn’t killed because he was walking home from eating skittles. He was killed because he was bashing a guys head into the concrete.

I didn't even make it to Trayvon on that list, That list disgusts me for all the lies in it that will do nothing but keep the division going (as intended I'd imagine)

Did you see that new documentary on the Trayvon investigation?

Can't say that I have.

There are a few legit ones on that list, but I haven't heard of a good bit of them.
I would even call trayvon a legit one on that list. The final act of him being shot was Zimmerman defending his own life as his head was smashed into the concrete, but that's all avoided if he doesn't think trayvon looks suspicious walking through the neighborhood or if he doesn't follow him.
I still think the wrong cases get brought up and repeated all the time. Mike brown was a thug who was justifiably shot. Alton Sterling was reaching for a gun.
Michael Ramos isn't anywhere on that list and he was shot and killed outside his car with his hands in the air here in Austin just last month. Cops said he had a gun but later confirmed no gun was found in or around the car.

Do you realize your list also includes the people who were killed in the Charleston shooting? And situations like Philando Castile? Amadou Diallo was shot 41 times because a plain-clothes officer apparently confused him for a rape suspect from one year earlier.
Maybe those deaths are justified to you for some reason, but they aren't to me. And regardless, I don't want the police to be judge, jury and executioner. We have a justice system for a reason.

I can’t believe the admins are allowing it do go on. Should have been deleted pages ago.

I know there are, hopefully it doesn't seem as I was saying all were bogus.
It just kills the message when you use obvious lies to try to paint this picture of systemic racism against nothing but innocent people.
I'm also over people that only seem to post all politics or only about stuff like this. Been doing a lot of following lately.

Absolutely. The Castile one should have gotten more play. The no knock warrants in the wrong houses resulting in deaths should get more play. But instead wagons are hitched to actual criminals doing shady shite that results in police interaction and in a lot of cases result in death.
This instance isn’t a misunderstood case though as I’m pretty sure kneeling on a dude’s neck while he’s handcuffed isn’t a good way to restrain him

Obviously in that situation, I want people who have a high school education to make life and death decisions.
