The real question you should be asking is why criminality is increasing in areas where your policies are the law of the land.

By policing areas proportionally with the amount of crime in the area, arresting and penalizing criminals, and not using deadly force unless it's necessary for the safety of the officers, victims, or bystanders. And not by making excuses for criminals or their actions.

No but it does happen. Even seen a cop acquitted of shooting an unarmed fully complying black man who wasnt even the "suspect"

Chicago is releasing bodycam video of the police killing of #AdamToledo, who was a 13-year-old boy.
Police claim there was an "armed confrontation" and shot him in the chest. The mayor says she saw "no evidence whatsoever" that Toledo shot at police.

Oh I have no doubt corruption exists. I just don’t think it’s at the level where you burn it to the ground.

who has said anything about burning it to the ground ?
Let’s see the full footage from beginning to end.
If the police officers gunned this kid down despite cooperation they deserve to go to jail.
The times article you listed says the suspect was reported to have a gun. The mayor did not deny this but simply said you couldn’t see it on the body cam footage.

The mother reported the boy doesn’t stay at home all the time right? Where did this parenting go wrong?
Take policing completely out of the picture here. Whatever you think of this incident. This young man was going down a path that would lead to his untimely demise. That is what needs to be solved. Not whether or not a policeman made the right decision in a split second.

I was frequently squirrel hunting by myself when I was younger than that, so in the right circumstances I don't have a problem with his age. And these days I'm wearing a gun anytime I'm wearing clothes, so I certainly can't fault him for wanting one while on the streets of Chicago.
It just comes down to the same thing, when the cops roll up your hands go up. If that happened here then the cops are at fault. That the media already feels it necessary to manipulate the footage makes me skeptical that's the case, but if the kid acted right then the cops didn't.

yikes. accomplice to attempted murder makes this a whole different case one would think?
He's still innocent til a jury trial, but the approach to the suspect is quite different.
From the policing angle I’m just not sure what a person with a family is supposed to do in that situation. Is the officer supposed to trust that he is not about to get shot when the area is known for gangbanging?
That’s why having any conversation about policing is meant as a diversion for the minority communities to not ask why are democrat policies making things exponentially worse.

I’m not sure you can call Amash’s opposition to Trump TDS. He just has a very clear set of principles regarding governance and Trump ran afoul of them. He still voted in the same manner he always has.
