Good. Biden's victory is assured then.

Would this be the case of a black cop shooing a white guy? The police chief, presumably the person "in charge," is black. Maybe people 1000 miles away from the incident should break into a Target store and steal some TVs as a way of protesting.

BONK!

Police in Vallejo, Calif., fatally shoot man with a hammer kneeling outside a Walgreens
Sean Monterrosa, 22, was outside a Walgreens that police say was being looted when he ran, then stopped in a half-kneeling position, police said.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-vallejo-calif-fatally-shoot-man-hammer-kneeling-outside-walgreens-n1224621

Guardian: "Unarmed". A Hammer is a weapon, and a break in tool. As for half-kneeling, he tripped but was still trying to run.

I'm glad he was shot, shooting looters is normal. Not shooting them is radically transforming America.

jazz_music says

Americans have had enough ...

... and are marching for justice in unprecedented numbers.

Why did he chose to loot a pharmacy instead of joining fellow Americans in their marching for justice? Looks like he didn't care for Mr. Floyd's plight a single bit.

No reason to shoot him. His hands were up - that is, if the story was true.

In any case:


He wasn't black, so the police will walk away scott free, and there will be no riots over it.

Vallejo PD carries bodycams, AFAIK. Also, if the officer was shooting from the cruiser, there must be a video from cruiser's camera too.

I hate all the euphemisms in the stories. “Involved in youth advocacy” = looting stores with his hammer during the protests.

Just tell the fucking truth and let people decide for themselves what to think. The cop shot a guy who was running away from him who he thought might have a gun. Justified shooting or not?

Jazz - why are all these Democrat run cities cesspools of racism, bigotry and police brutality?

Because that's where the drugs are!

Willie Sutton on why he robbed banks: "Because that’s where the money is."

Yeah like anyone that voted for Trump in 2016, suddenly realizes that Biden is their man.

3313 People that's a lot of "And I'm a Republican..." straw men. Probably all Twitter Bots.

Or 3213 people that voted for Hillary or didn't vote at all are virtue signaling that the orange man is bad.

The last time we heard Hands Up, Don't Shoot, it was a bald faced lie. I believed it at the time.

Is it becasue they aren't run by their egos and emotions enough ? Or is it that they just don't have what it takes (wink wink) to be a true die hard Trump supporter ?

Losers.

Why do things like character, integrity, emotional balance, self control and intelligence matter in a leader, when he was willing to say that he could bring low paying sewing jobs back to America, and also kick out millions of Mexicans ?!

If just saying that stuff becasue he knew about the mindset of people that wanted to hear it isn't enough to keep you a Trump Cultist, then you didn't deserve to be a card carrying member in first place.

Democrats deserve to lose for an entire generation for the racial divisions they have cynically exploited for political gain.

Biden can put that whole "weapon" issue to rest: "When There's an Unarmed Person Coming at Them with a Knife..." Yup, a person with a hammer is unarmed for sure!

I guess if he were holding an AK-47 he would qualify as being 'barely armed youth of good character'.

I know - there was a body cam. So if the footage never shows up, his hands were up and he posed no threat.

I'm not some lefty lunatic after all - but I can't see how the police officer could be "fearing for his life" when he's in a car - if the guy was reaching for his pocket, that's another matter. If the guy was provably looting, F him - it doesn't justify killing him, I'm just saying I don't care that he's dead.

We find out in 45 days what happened - that's how long they have to come up with a story, and how long they hold on to the video footage.

Don't reflexively take sides. I haven't taken a side here yet, and I won't for at least 45 days.

Shooting looters is moral, legal, and ethical.

Who cares about the infection rate? The fatality rate has plummeted. This virus is about as non existent as you can get and people are over it.

We are still averaging about 1000 deaths a day in the US from this virus, the fatality rate is not as important as the death count and the virus is definitely not "non-existent".

He wasn’t black, 0 riots.

That would be optimal for America's survival but we all know it's bullshit and a political hoax.

Not a hoax.

Tenpoundbass says

This last weekend should wipe out the whole Democrat demographic from 16 to 35

Most of the states on the list where the virus is spreading the fastest are Republican & conservative in their politics. I'd be more concerned about those people if I were you.

Who cares where it spreads? Deaths are all that matters. 50% plus of deaths nationwide are from left/democratic leaning states. If not outright blue. I'm not sure your point.

He was just an innocent aspiring construction worker with a hammer.

That kid must have left his “white privilege” at the door.

Surprised. I was assuming he was an honors student.

Is this your frontyard, marcus?

marcus says

Are you joking? Biden is guilty or is accused of every single thing that Trump as been accused of.

Senile and out of his mind? CHECK!
Molesting Women? Check!
Corrupt? CHECK!
Working with another nation to win the election? CHECK!

The man is an (apparently) senile old man with dementia that got his son on the board of Burisma in Ukraine which is a job he's 100% unqualified, for but got paid $50,000 a month to "do", who has accusations of sexual harassment AT THE TIME HE WAS ALLEGEDLY HARASSING. There is actually credible evidence!

www.youtube.com/embed/PMib65Vqk4I

The very first thing that Trump will do in a debate with Biden will be to ask him point blank "Are you senile?"

The "debates" between the Butcher of Libya and Trump I ignored. THESE I will watch. He is literally the worst possible candidate they could have run. Anybody else could have done better.

Even if that was one county in a swing state, 3,200 people doesn't even move the fucking needle. What is the point of this post/comment? No one can regret voting for Hillary because she lost, so topics like this are kind of silly.

socal2 says

They've been doing this since at least the civil war.

They did create the KKK. The original KKK wasn't so terrible, they were just white men afraid of black men. They weren't necessarily hostile toward them, but they put up with no criminality or "retribution" - but it became repressive.

I suspect we're gonna hear a lot more "I was a Republican, then I realized Trump was Orange Man Bad right after the Mueller Report found nothing and Impeachment failed. Now I'm Ridin' With Biden, because 44 Years in Government means he's the REAL Swamp Draining Reformer we need"

WookieMan says

People that have learned that Hillary Clinton was the Butcher of Iraq who brought back slavery to that nation, and learned she voted for the "Authorization to Use Force in Iraq" - and didn't know this when they voted for that thing, regret it.

People are not generally stupid or sociopathic, they are ignorant. No sin in being ignorant, we all start out that way.

Tim Aurora says

You still do not get it. Have you ever talked to the blacks in the hood and how police harrases them. I have talked and I have stories to tell. It is not just one person killed. It is about Police treating Blacks as "shit"

PeopleUnited says

people are fixated on the murder of one black person, and if another black person is murdered in the next 90 days the crazies will likely burn every major city to the ground. People are insane I guess.

Fixed it for you!

Facts matter https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-is-america-being-torn-apart-by-a-total-complete-but-provable-lie

From the article:

“What exactly are the numbers?
We found the numbers and we're going to go through them with you in some detail because it's worth it.
Since 2015, The Washington Post has maintained a comprehensive database of fatal police shootings in this country. Last year, The Post logged a total of 1,004 killings.
Of the 802 shootings in which the race of the police officer and the suspect was noted, 371 of those killed were white, 236 were black. The vast majority of those killed were not, in fact, unarmed; the vast majority were armed. And African-American suspects were significantly more likely to have a deadly weapon than white suspects, yet more white suspects were killed.
This is not genocide. It's not even close to genocide. It is laughable to suggest it is.
Overall, there were a total of precisely 10 cases in the United States last year, according to The Washington Post, in which unarmed African- Americans were fatally shot by the police. There were nine men and one woman.
Now, as we said, a lot is at stake. The country is at stake. So we want to take the time now to go through these case by case, into the specifics.....”

Fortwaynemobile says

Hispanic...

Tim Aurora says

Although half of the people shot and killed by police are white, black Americans are shot at a disproportionate rate. They account for less than 13 percent of the U.S. population, but are killed by police at more than twice the rate of white Americans.

Which doesn’t mean anything unless you control for likelihood to commit crime.

https://www.prisonpolicy.org/graphs/raceinc.html

Blacks are incarcerated at 5x the rate of whites. Assuming all races have equal chance of coming into contact with police due their criminal behavior where they might be shot, I would expect the police shooting rate of blacks would be 5x higher then whites.

The fact that it’s only 2x indicates there’s some other factor. One could be police racism... against whites.
