17-year-old Antwon Rose was fleeing and unarmed when police in East Pittsburgh shot him

Its not illegal for a cop to shoot a fleeing suspect.

 

Even SCOTUS ruled that it depends on more than just fleeing.

 

What does any of that have to do with my skin color deciding my credibility in the incident discussed here?

 

Yeah like the suspicion of having been a participant in a shooting event.

 

Your logic isn't working, since the results are not in yet. Try again.

 

There was more. Gunfight, car shot up and fleeing suspect when stopped. It is logical to assume, based on the information available, that the fleeing suspect is armed.

 

No, they don't. More whites are killed in police encounters of the same nature than blacks. Despite the fact that blacks are more likely to commit a violent crime and encounter police per capita. 2.4% of the black population are incarcerated as opposed to .45% of the white population.

You're trying to justify running away from the authorities and that's a horrible mentality to have. If he didnt run he would still be alive today. And you saying its ok to run because they should be suspicious of the people that protect and serve their communities is doing a huge disservice to them.

 

He failed the, HANDS UP, DON'T SHOOT test. dat simple

Think of all the tax payers money saved from future police action, jail, trial with
public defender and incarcerations.
Same goes for Trayvon and Michael Brown.
None were law abiding and all 21st Century Black Heroes. Go figure.

When the cop yells "stop",
it is advisable to do so.

​

 

Did you forget my original comment? "Black teens have every reason to be suspicious of cops.."

They are profiled and accused much more than white teens.

 

"Suspicion", that's exactly right. Not proof, suspicion.

 

The ole,
Figures don't lie
but liars can figure.


What percent of Black teens are truly involved with criminal activity
compared to white teens, even in the same neighborhood. Yup!
It ain't profiling if it is reality.

There was no yelling "stop", just shooting.

 

If you don't think black teens are profiled and accused more than whites, you haven't done the research.

 

I thought he did.
Must have confused it with another criminal Black teen / cop interaction.

Guns in the vehicle!?
Was one of them still smokin'?

 

To repeat an above upload,
It ain't profiling if it is reality.
What every happened to following clues? Like the perp was Black.
In some areas, even if the suspect is Black, they don't say so.
Must interrogate an appropriate number of Asian and White people too I guess.


The Solution is:
It is time for Black people to mainstream.
The only thing holding them back is them.

 

The Racial Profiling Statistics that Everyone Needs to Know
1. African-American/Black drivers are twice as likely (4.5% vs. 2.1%) to be arrested during a traffic stop. (The Leadership Conference)

2. 65% of Hispanic drivers are likely to receive a ticket during a traffic stop. This is higher than Caucasian/White drivers (56%) or African-American/Black drivers (55.8%). (The Leadership Conference)

3. Whites/Caucasians are twice more likely to receive a verbal warning for their conduct in a vehicle when compared to Blacks/African-Americans. (The Leadership Conference)

4. Blacks/African-Americans are 3 times more likely to be searched during a police stop as a motorist compared to Whites/Caucasians. Hispanics are 2.5 times more likely to be searched during a police stop compared to Whites/Caucasians. (The Leadership Conference)

5. A study of State Police conduct in Arizona showed that the highway patrol was 3.5 times more likely to search a stopped Native American and 2.5 times more likely to search a stopped African-American/Black or Hispanic individual when compared to Whites/ Caucasians. (The Leadership Conference)

6. The probability of being black, unarmed, and shot by police is about 3.49 times the probability of being white, unarmed, and shot by police on average. (Vanity Fair)

7. When factoring in threat levels, black Americans who are fatally shot by police are less likely to be posing an imminent lethal threat to officers at the moment they are killed than white Americans fatally shot by police. (Washington Post/ Vanity Fair)

He's dead because he was under suspicion and he ran. You don't do that. You surrender. Or you may die. He rolled the dice and got snake eyes.

 

Antwon Rose was no "INNOCENT VICTIM", despite the continuing attempts of the lying left to pretend otherwise. They'll be posting his kindergarten photos before long, to try to CONTINUE THE LIE about who the police were actually dealing with, just like grossly FALSE pics/representations of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.

This level of DELIBERATE LYING makes it harder for people to believe it when an ACTUALLY INNOCENT PERSON is wrongly shot by police...such as WALTER SCOTT.

 

He's dead because a trigger-happy cop took on the role of public executioner, aka "shoot first and ask questions later."

 

You do know that more whites are killed by police than blacks? It's also true that every black that is shot by police instantly becomes some kind of saint who would never ever, ever do anything wrong. The lab results are not in yet so it isn't known who was the shooter in the car but the facts that we do have are a shot up car, two guns in the car and one driver and two riders.

 

That's just silly. You can't question dead people.

 

I think the guns found in the car with the shot out rear window, EXACTLY MATCHING the description of the vehicle used in a DRIVEBY SHOOTING...might have been a factor , huh?

I repeat:

If you want to decry INNOCENT PEOPLE being shot by the police....I AM ALL FOR IT.


FIND ONE FIRST.

 

I know the statistics and you're exaggerating to say every black shot by police is a saint. Nobody's a saint whether or not they commit crimes. But after seeing what happened to Tamir Rice, Philando Castile, Stephon Clark and others, I don't automatically depend on cops to do the right thing.

And every person who's shot doesn't die.

 

Antwon Rose had no record and was an honor student. Please show proof that he was no innocent victim. Running away is not proof.
