Shot in her own home!

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

So what are you doing to correct the problem?

It not a one person thing. It is a collective societal push on our government.

That's not what he asked you.  Are you actually doing anything?  Writing to your local police department, attending police open house events, going to town council meetings (or whatever the US equivalent is), organizing protests and street rallies?  If you're not doing anything, you should say so.

'Collect societal push' means nothing if people don't get involved.

Cops fucked up.

An open door and a neighbor's say so is NOT a justified entry without a warrant.

Should have watched other entrances and rang the doorbell or knocked.

He's gonna do time over this.

They didn't enter her home.  She was shot from outside, through a window.  According to the article, the cops spent a few minutes walking around outside the home, shining flashlights here, there and everywhere.  One of them saw the woman inside, shouted 'Hands up! Show me your hands!' and shot her through the window without identifying himself as an officer.

All of which makes it worse.

It's the same as entering the home - as they invaded the space inside (with a bullet) without a warrant.

Truely fucked up.

He shot her before he could even finish his command. This is terrifying.

He shot her before he could even finish his command. This is terrifying.

To be fair, she WAS walking around in her house while being openly and flagrantly black.

Presenting ideas to any of the people/organizations you mention in the same manner as has been presented here is not going to garner much attention.  Unless it's to move someone to perform a welfare check on the unhinged CAPITALIZED rant-or who compares apples to muskrats.

Hasn't Thena made a thread about this? And yes black people get shot at their own homes.

Wanna guess what color she was?

The worst part of this shit, is that a neighbor called, not because he thought she was doing something wrong, but because he was worried about her. 

And of course the cop gets administrative leave, and white local official promises to "investigate", and asks for "thoughts and prayers."

If she were some white woman we would have never heard about it:

Shit like this keeps happening and people are going to start shooting police, sooner or later.

Can't say I'll be too upset about that.

"Poor white people are soooooo persecuted."

And? 

Not the fucking point DRICH. The ratio between the odds of a white person getting injured or killed while interacting with law enforcement are nowhere close to the ratio of how far more times minorities get injured or killed under similar circumstances.

TWICE in my own life, I could have been shot and killed by cops.

First time I was playing with a toy full sized replica cap gun, made to look exactly like the real thing. Someone called the police because they heard the noise and thought I had a real gun. Cop pulled up, jumped out of his car, and pointed his firearm at me and shouted for me to drop it. I hesitated trying to explain to him that it was a toy. In that spit second of my hesitation, under the current "shoot first" mentality most cops are trained with, he would have been justified in shooting me.

Second time, I was speeding through my girlfriends neighborhood. I had left work, was feeling sick, and was going to get her to take me to a doctor. I pulled over, but was mad. The lady officer asked me for my drivers licence, and I shouted at her and threw my wallet at her and it hit her in the chest. Again, she very easily could have seen that as a threat, not known what I was about to throw at her, and shot me.

So when you claim that white people get shot by cops too, nobody is denying that. What I am saying and what idiots like you ignore, ARE THE ODDS of injury or death between whites and blacks while encountering cops. 

And even when nobody dies, black or white, when either make it to court, blacks are STILL more likely to be charged more harshly and sentenced more harshly than a white person accused of or convicted of a similar crime.
