    This bothers me about cop/black shootings

    I know there is a thread about unarmed shootings but I have to ask this:

    We have two sides and it seems to be politically motivated.

    Outside of the Dallas ambushed have any black person actually got a gun out and shoot a cop in a one on one situation. I know about getting into gun battles but most cops are protected by gear. In every instance we seen in the media, the weapon never came out and in many cases there wasn't a weapon? Is it the media fault in this? I have not seen a cop get shot at in situations like this, ever.

    I can understand bank robberies and such, but a black man just out wandering/driving around and the cop stops them, we don't see the weapon at all. Just like in San Diego, black guy was crazy and was in a stance, he did not brandish any weapon but gunned him down. Now I am afraid if I get pulled over other than my county and city and my hands up, they would shoot me at the slightest move. This is when I visit wife's area of the state, Chicago or at home next to Kentucky.

    This bothers me.

    Cops are shoot at all the time when suspects flee or when they get pulled over and don't want to go to jail. Happened in SC over the week.



    AA, black cops are more likely to shoot blacks than white cops are. Why do you think that is? I have a theory

    I think I do.

    1. Media will never report it.
    2. It will not garner any clicks or attention
    3. Cops are frustrated when the real truth comes out
    4. My neighbor is a cop and they have to be on extra alert with white meth heads and blacks under warrant and 911 calls of crime in progress and this is not reported as well

    It boils down to politics. I get it. Me getting pulled over is a non factor, I survived one encountered with guns drawn but I am scared of another. I am a well known person in this city and county and they would never do this to me. The judge is my friend from church ( he adopted a black kid on a person he defended and he lost but promised to take care of his son) and he says they will not touch me unless I broke the law and I believe him. Since that talk I never been pulled over DWB or even going over the speed limit a little bit (the only bad thing I do, but 9 over is okay on a highway).
