(24,461 posts)I'm sorry, that sounds like justification to me.
At the very worst, if I didn't comply with police orders, I'd be beaten/subdued, but likely not shot dead. With black men, they're not even LOOKING for a peaceful way out. Shoot first, make up excuses while they lie there dead.
There did not need to be five officers and a helicopter for a stopped vehicle. They didn't have to huddle up and obscure the dash cam.
Betty Shelby is likely going to get away with this, just as Timothy Loehmann did with Tamir Rice.
It'd be more useful to not hire trigger-happy whackjobs who aren't mentally up to snuff to perform a high-risk position on my tax dollars.
I will NEVER side with police when it comes to this issue. NEVER. I have black nephews and a niece. I can't remain calm.
