5 Laws or Regulations That Aid Police But Hurt Black People

POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTINGLicense to Kill

In the state where unarmed teenager Michael Brown was shot to death on the streets of Ferguson in August, Missouri allows officers to make judgment calls on whether to kill someone. Chapter 563 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, according to the Missouri General Assembly website, grants vast discretion to officers of the law to use deadly force “in effecting an arrest or in preventing an escape from custody” if the officer “reasonably believes” it is necessary. The officer also has to reasonably believe the suspect has committed or attempted to commit a felony or may otherwise endanger life or inflict serious physical injury unless arrested without delay.

  1. So I saw a bunch of laws that can be applied to anyone. So the real problem, as we know, are those put in place to enforce the laws. They target us, and the system allows it. But these same things have been applied to whites, latinos, and arabs. Just at a far lower rate. But again, but the enforcers, the 12, the po po are the real issue. I don't believe there is a great interest in keeping a measure or racism out of police departments for a host of reasons. Some more nefarious than others. But as long as black men are made out to be dangerous and out to "kill whitey", then that "fear for my life" cops talk about will continue to be a free pass to gun us down on our doorsteps, streets, and playgrounds.

  2. well justin what about the dangerous reputation blacks have , is that a false narrative , I don't hear about any white kids running the streets robbing raping commiting all sorts of mayhem , hell Ive had a blacks put guns in my face on the street just to see me scared , I have been robbed and beaten up by blacks just having fun and unless they are caught and prosecuted you never hear about any of the killings they do and even then the media makes them out to be choir boys , so if youre going to post here be honest and own the crap black people walk around with the superiority complex , the victim complex where does that crap come from , must be learned at home because before obama and holder it wasnt taught in schools but now I guess it might be , The united states of america is the best place to live in the world , I know I have been all over this world and saw real poverty and what we have in the US ain't even close , try living somewhere else in the world and not working to support yourself , , you will surely die.. I respect people that work for a living , I don't respect peoplethat expect something for nothing , well you have an idea what I think about the drug dealers , the robbers and rapists and murderers in your community , Ive no more to say. If we were in the street and I said this you probably would want to hurt me , but that's just the black way , huh.

    Stanley Wayne Givens you just have a problem with black criminals, not all criminals? Somebody's been drinking the racist juice. "I've had blacks…." So when a group of white people attack another human being and then they watch something on the news about neo-nazis, that justifies racism towards whites? Nonsense, you hate what you don't understand. And the confusion kills you, but guess what? The rest of humanity doesn't care. #blacklivesmatter

  4. Folks honestly. The problem with these types of sites is it doesn't work. Rascism will always be here unless al the visitors leave. Go back where they was taken from . Haaa no body mentions going home. And you are either am american or African not both. Otherwise if america was to go to wRwith Africa we would have to kill you cause we wouldn't know where ud loyalties are. And this is the deli a. Could you fight Africa. It very well could be your ancestors.

  5. Anyone who has mahhamid in their names are muslim

  6. Solution stop committing crimes and trying to be like Michael in ferguson. You know cops have the law on their side if u can't respect that then ill do something stupid and get shot. So u go ahead.

  7. Ft his is bullshit. To try and restrain someone who is trying to hurt and or kill you with a therapeutic hold sk they don't get hurt is bullshit. Cops will get hurt. If we as a nation start letting lawbreakers run our courts cops might as wel stay home and we the people will deal with crime , old west style. One shot one kill. And after the gun shortage etc I think it would be wise to say the USA is stocked up.

  8. See the arrest records now public pic on the right. That's a thug and that's how they look. If a cop sees this you better believe he gonna get shot

  9. No this cop did the right thing. If he gets hurt disability isn't gonna pay his bills. Son you do what u gotta do . If this upsets you don't steal. Kill or beat someone up. You bring this on yourself

  10. Michael was probably trying to show how much a bad ass he was well he got what he wanted. The law has prevailed. Live with it. The law is always right.

  11. Stanley Wayne Givens Holy shit Stanley you are the reason this site is in business. I stumbled across this site tonight and kept reading more articles just to read the comments. I do agree with you on one thing, Obama is the current president but that is where it ends. Where the hell do you live that has no white gangs, where you get beaten by blacks and have guns put in your face on a regular business? Sounds like you may have a mouth problem, I live near Baltimore and never had a problem just because I am white. Now there are sections in Baltimore that I cannot go in but I don't care what race you are if your not a local your probably not going to have much luck there either. I have been around the world in a US Army uniform and been to places that if they stuck a gun in your face it was game over. Refugees regardless of color act the exact same I promise you that. Watch your wife hold your starving child and know that there is no food in sight and see if you do not become more aggressive or steal to get by. The black, Hispanic, Samoan and white men I served with would do anything for me as I would them. I know you think I am getting off point now but I am really just dragging out the fact that where you are from and what means you have available strongly influence what you will do to survive and what some will do get out of the situation. Education can get someone out of a situation they were raised in but not everyone can be a college student intellectually so another paths are chosen by some within every color on the globe. I personally would never endorse assisting a single race in this country but I know real changes including financial ones need to be made to areas that our government created for the poor and unwanted races including Black, Indian, Irish, Chinese, Italian and on and on. Just giving money is not the answer. I don't know the answer myself but I am positive that saying one race is the cause of Americas problems or that there is not a problem at all is not the answer too to making this country even better than it is.
