I'm still waiting - and I may well have missed it - for the national story of police shooting someone who was completely innocent and had zero criminal history. All of the national stories have really involved people who were, for lack of a better word, career criminals. They were known by local police already, so the police were right to be cautious
Because it doesn't happen. The narrative that cops just go out there and shoot black people for being black is ridiculous. Police shoot people and sometimes they are wrong for shooting to kill them but there was something that happened to escalate it to that point. Cops don't just show up guns hot unless something major went down before hand.
Best way to not get shot by cops for those that don't know. Don't do crime is a good start but if you do when the cops show up just listen to them and be respectful. Like it or not cops are the law and you should respect that.

BLM has evolved into more than just the police shootings. I agree with bamagoat in that these shootings somehow never seem to be of an upstanding citizen who was just minding their own business.
What you have to realize is that BLM has become more of a wide ranging concept for black folks who feel they've been oppressed. And they have been. The 60s wasn't too long ago. He issue I have with BLM is that many of their supporters are for violence, they treat each shooting as they are all the same as opposed to taking it case by case, and their delivery is ineffective and encourages segregation.
If more folks protested peacefully and didn't encourage violence I think we'd get a lot farther in race relations.

Great point geaux !!
They lived a criminal lifestyle, the police should not be crucified for putting someone down, of any color who refuses to obey or threatens them. Of course if a cop shoots an innocent person there should be consequences obviously. Why aren't people protesting these criminals for choosing the lifestyle they chose, which is essentially I'm a criminal frick the authorities, it's not tough to see that will end poorly eventually. But clearly logic escapes those people who keep pushing that these are poor innocent people being shot..... Liberal, racial dividing bullshite is what it is
