Crime The killing of Dexter Reed. The new George Floyd? "He was just riding around in his car, and they killed him"

[Lucas1980]

They choose to focus on incidents that are divisive and not ones where everyone agrees is fucked up because their goal is division.

You didn't hear really any outrage or coverage of Tony Timpa which was actually a worse case then Fentanyl Floyd or Daniel Shaver...No asshats were yelling "Say His Name" and no ChicFilas were burnt down.

This is what an unbiased article reporting facts only looks like. COPA does not care about the truth.

Questions swirl in the wake of Dexter Reed video release. We decided to try to get some answers

Many questions have arisen since the city on Tuesday released Chicago police body camera footage and other evidence related to the "exchange of gunfire" that ended with 26-year-old Dexter Reed dead during a traffic stop last month.

It's strange the stories that the media fixates on and the ones they ignore. This incident happened in 2014. Young black guy picked up a BB gun that was for sale at Walmart. Some idiot called the police and they shot and killed him. For holding an item that was available for purchase.

This incident should have provoked national outrage. There was no question of the guy's innocence. But it largely got ignored while the big story that year was Michael Brown.

Easy. mike brown was a shithead. They relate more to shitheads like brown, alton sterling, Floyd, reed, than they do Phildro Castile, the police, or others. It says a lot about them and them demographic.

People wonder how those old salty dog veterans became the way they were. Letting cities burn and saying, “protect your pension kid” to the other coppers who actually care. I have remained proactive for almost a decade. Maybe it’s the military version of me still believing in that oath I took 3 times to this country. I don’t know. You’re retired now though so I’m sure it’s easy to kick back and watch the shit show unfold.

I'm not seeing any real outrage anywhere except the family and the imagination of race baiters. It's a pretty clear and cut case of him shooting first. We can argue over the reason for the encounter but it's still justified for the officers to defend themselves.

- I didnt heard anything here. Probabky because theres footage showing. And even thought i dont care about George Floyd, the cop shond't suffocat him.

- It's normal. Like in other jobs you see your "soul" dying!

- I dont know. The kid was inocent, the cops got in doubt if it's was a real weapon, in land full of guns. We all wold be if in their position also.

1100 people out of 333.3M population in 2022. 60 POs out of 708,001 in 2022. What does the math tell us?

it tells me that you walked in half way through the conversation and didn't bother looking up what was being discussed

 

[Helden]

I was trying to keep it as random as possible to avoid bias. You didn’t do a study or experiment. You looked up two stats. It’s been a few years since I took stats in my masters, which I absolutely aced, and I don’t remember what the best way to figure this out would be, or even what it is called.

But based upon what I did post, of all the police murdered by suspects, 26% suspects were black. Compare that with 6% of the pop(black males) vs the low percentage they are in total of the 1100 killed by police( at 200/1100-its 18%) and compare that to the population of all black males in the country, the odds of being a black male killed by police are low vs the odds of being one of a population of 900k law enforcement officers being killed by a black suspect.

And now look at it this way:

700,000 cops in 2022 killed 315 black people
49,000,000 black people in 2022, killed 10 cops (using your 26% value)

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

This quick and dirty experiment of yours did nothing to address the statement that a cop is more likely to be killed by a black person than vice versa

I did an even simpler experiment, 2022: a total of 60 police in all of US were killed
Thats same year around 1100 people were killed by police...

Holy shit, Corky has entered the thread.

First off there Good Will Hunting, we're talking about Black people, so you might as well toss out that 1,100 number because it is irrelevant to my statement. And secondly, you are also omitting a few key numbers that need to be entered into the equation to come to a proper conclusion.

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

LOL. This fucking guy.

We were originally talking about Black people killed by the cops and you started talking about 1,100 total people getting killed.

Last year there were around 300 Black people killed by the cops. So let's stick with that number.

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

And now look at it this way:

700,000 cops in 2022 killed 315 black people
49,000,000 black people in 2022, killed 10 cops (using your 26% value)

So like originally stated, A cop is more likely to be killed by a Black person than a Black person is by a cop.

Thank you for finally understanding the point that was made.

Coincidentally, there is a pretty big murder case going on up here involving "plain clothes" officers. Muslim guy ran over a cop in a frenzy at some underground garage, and his defense is that he thought he was being attacked and couldn't tell they were police officers. Gotta say, I think he has a good defense on that premise alone. He's being charged with First Degree Murder and I doubt they're gonna make it stick, just based on the presumption of it being a chaotic scenario.

This guy got what he got for having an illegal gun and using it, BUT, I do think LE needs to look at how they implement plain clothes officers. Like, they shouldn't be worried about the little shit, like speeding and whatnot. They should be specialists, only concerned with whatever mission they're on. If you want to play the undercover game everywhere, you're gonna have undesirable results.
