    It’s not that American police lack the skill to peacefully apprehend & arrest armed & dangerous people. They have the skill. They just reserve those skills for white people.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/997639033621811200 …

    Listen. It’s not that I wanted police to shoot him, but that he was arrested, without a scratch, after murdering 10 people, while still armed w/ a handgun & a shotgun, in a trench coat, while hundreds of unarmed, non-violent African Americans are killed by police is a scandal. pic.twitter.com/zmbDFcaVfl

        It's wrong 2 suggest that unless the cops that arrested him have killed African Americans when it wasnt warranted. Cops r ppl too. I'm a white guy but if I was the arresting officer, it would b hard 4 me not to put 12 in his chest. I'm sure those arresting cops felt the same way

        But they didn’t. That’s the point. They showed restraint - for him.

        But there's no proof that these arresting officers would've/have killed an AA. And to suggest that all cops are exactly the same is a ridiculous assumption. They're supposed to use minimal force as needed to apprehend someone. They did their job well

        Whats that have to do w the cops that arrested the shooter yesterday?? Do u have proof that these arresting cops have killed unarmed AAs or you saying every cop is exactly alike in every way? By the way, do you do everything exactly the same as everyone else in your line of work?

        So you know for sure the cops that arrested the school shooter committed police brutality against African Americans? Seems like you're ridiculously speculating my friend

        That's 3 young white guys now (at least) who have committed mass shootings then were arrested without injury. Dylan Roof got Burger King, Cruz was caught an hour later, without injury. This guy actually shot AT cops, but they didn't shoot back. If these guys had been black....

        Thanks for admitting the truth!!! It is sad though that skin color determines how one is captured-(dead or alive).. I suppose cops are not threatened by the lighter hue!!!

        It would appear so. It's not that they don't ever shoot white people, but it certainly doesn't happen anywhere NEAR as much as it does with people of color. It makes me furious!
