St. Louis teen "was wearing an ankle bracelet at the time he died

[bravenak]

133. I lived smack dab in the middle of gang territory.

And I am appalled that you think his neighbors are HAPPY he got shot by a cop. That's insane. Cops shoot innocent bystanders too. They also shoot black men who reach for their wallets after being asked to get their drivers licenses. The only person shot was the kid running from a cop.

I care that cops constantly stop black men for no reason other than 'looking suspicious' . I am surprised you don't see why I think that civil liberty violations is a problem. Now, had he been in the process of using the weapon BEFORE police contact, then I can understand. But he wasn't. Had he been left to continue on his way, we'd have one less dead kid. And you have no proof he was in a gang. Many teenage boys pretend to be gangsters for status and the safety in numbers. I know I did. I guess the cops should have shot me.

Owning a gun, or possessing one is not a good excuse for stopping black men unless EVERYONE who possesses a firearm is stopped and searched. My problem is police tactics. Police over notice and over suspect black people for everything and then use stupid ass excuses about what they think the person would have maybe done in the future one day to clean up the mess.

After all the foul shit police have done to black people over the years , why would we believe anything coming out of their lying ass faces? They hate us with a passion. Of course they lie on us. I have had a cop lie on me, and the judge decided to believe me, not him. He had lied before. Still kept his job. I could have gone to jail and have a felony record because of that lying cop. Cops are racist liars. I have seen this first hand. And never do the so called 'good' cops say shit. They just help with 'evidence management.'



And just for the record. NOBODY IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD HAPPY THAT THIS KID IS DEAD. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU WOULD SAY SOMETHING SO INSANE.
