Lets all just assume (short of armed resistance) the worst attitude from any police victim. Rudeness, noncompliance, disrespect, all that. Assume that any encounter with police is going to catch the object of that encounter when they are not at their best for whatever reason. Of course she <i>probably</i> would be alive today if she had kissed his ass during the stop. She didn't. It was the professional in charge of the encounter at that point to use their training and experience to keep things cool. He failed utterly. As far as I can see, police all over this country are being trained to <b>escalate</b> tension rather than the other way around. Their training should emphasize the opposite. They want to be appreciated as heros. Cutting a citizen some slack, even if they piss you off a little can be heroic.<br /><br />I truly believe that these kind of police killings are the post lynching era version of lynching. There are reliable national statistics on lynching from 1905 to 1968 or so. Not so, with police killing of unarmed black people. That has to change now.petrillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889489779105405703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-36486294315193332842015-07-23T16:03:19.358-04:002015-07-23T16:03:19.358-04:00Just saw a news report that a new version of the d...Just saw a news report that a new version of the dash cam video has been released to fix "glitches" in the original version.

It's obvious however that they worship authority figures. If the police were ever to come to round them up, they'd be all "Yes sir, right away sir, which cattle car would you like me to enter sir?"<br /><br />Seldom has the empty freedom-loving windbaggery of self-labelled conservatism been so obvious.Ken_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709548046018362581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-4873483930177165512015-07-22T22:19:25.177-04:002015-07-22T22:19:25.177-04:00yes. and yes. the enforcement is able to create re...yes. and yes. the enforcement is able to create reasonable doubts and it proves that it has been their routine for sureahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156631323695484961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-82331794304214490192015-07-22T20:51:15.680-04:002015-07-22T20:51:15.680-04:00I just read the article about the doctored video a...I just read the article about the doctored video at the NBC link and the comments are a fascist/racist cesspool.
