The Atlanta police department is over 60% black.  It would be interesting to look at statistics on black police shooting black men versus white police.  If the ratio is the same, one might conclude race is not a factor in this.

I do.


Anyway, those (if any) who might be rooting against the cops here will not like this post.

I've just been told by a Waukegan cop who knows these guys that they were wearing their own personal body cameras on Sunday when this happened.

The WDOJ investigation should not take long, and then the Governor should resign.
A. Good.
B. By the phrasing of this, we mean the body cameras they're supposed to wear, or ones they wear that they own themselves. The phrasing is weird and I want to clarify.

Why on earth would the governor resign?

Their own.  Kenosha PD does not supply them. 

And in a separate question are you still convinced that the paid rioters came from Chicago and Milwaukee and other distant places but did it for free?

Frankly I think that is ridiculous. We had a video of a guy shooting another guy in the back, trying to kill him. Yet the governor is the divisive one?  Come on.

Yep that’s as divisive as it comes. We have a video of a man being being arrested, resisting arrest, under the influence of drugs, and very likely going for a weapon in a vehicle.

The media who keeps posting the same tired (and edited) video is divisive. It's bulljive, period.

The Governor's statement was absolutely uncalled for. Especially at this time. And the shit is hitting the fan again NOW - partially because of his enabling. 

C'mon Sam. I mean, I get how you roll, but you gotta be able to see what is happening here.

ANYWAY

You want irony? The white people (Antifa, et al) burning shit down last night in the name of BLM burned down a predominantly BLACK neighborhood shopping district. The blacks in that neighborhood are PISSED.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

The video I saw showed him reaching into his car but didnt show  what he was reaching for

He may not have been reaching for anything but we dont know and neither did the Governor when he made his statements
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

This is reminiscent of the Brown incident

I'll await more facts.  We've all seen how our perception of events change once more facts are available.

Nearly every time.

For one, his statement was a pretty milquetoast comment on how racism and killing people aren't good. For two, it likely has no impact on anyone rioting or not.

For three, come on! The reason people have been protesting and rioting are precisely because of the idea of when the government kills (Or tries to kill) someone, the government decides the person had it coming, often based on pretty flimsy evidence, as will likely happen here. It sure as Hell is based on any statement by the governor.
