The pinnacle of incompetence. I mean, that could easily be the opening scene of Police Academy 6 or something.

BEST TO AVOID ALL COPS

[gatoveintisiete]

You better inspect your tail lights , you better come to a complete stop at a stop sign, none of this rolling through crap!  Matter of fact you better obey all the laws 'cuz the boys in blue are out there to protect and serve and they got an itchy trigger finger.  They're gangsta boy........ They don't give a mump!

You're in a rough ridin' armored vehicle, yet an unarmed man on foot is a threat worth meeting with lethal force? Come the eff on.

Cops don't learn.  Its institutional, it seems.  I heard a story on 98.1 yesterday talking about how the Johnson County Sheriff dept is having trouble finding ppl which would normally be an issue, but evidently they are on the verge of the largest hiring need they have seen since the '80's.  They had the Sheriff on and the first thing he said is "we need people with guts!". 

None of this is changing until they hire a different personality set and train them differently, imo.

So, Milwaukee... Black cop shoots armed black criminal who points gun at cop. Black people riot and specifically target white people and cops for violence.  Not a good day.

Not excusing the rioting here at all, although I'm far from "rioting is always bad," but you stripped this issue of every ounce of nuance that exists in Milwaukee. There has also been no reports of this dude pointing that weapon. He was a bad guy, no need to distort the events.

[catastrophe]

I'm probably more in the "rioting is always bad" camp.

I would expect you to feel that way. There is literally no reason for white males to ever feel civil disobedience is necessary to be heard.

[catastrophe]

Maybe it's just cause I'm white, but I definitely do not consider rioting and civil disobedience to be the same thing. I think riot implies an element of chaos and lack of any singular purpose other than maybe to cause damage to people and property.

Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands, and commands of a government, or of an occupying international power. Civil disobedience is a symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law, rather than a rejection of the system as a whole. Civil disobedience is sometimes, though not always,[1][2] defined as being nonviolent resistance.

I saw earlier reports that said he pointed the weapon that have since been changed I guess. Wasn't intentionally distorting anything

that's not true at all.

An oversimplification, I should have added "on their own behalf."
