Yes, you are wrong.

Try paying attention to my posts, particularly to those from this morning. The cops did all you are suggesting, and MORE.

Perfect, then they're poor cops.

So, being born in 1971, I'm probably very close to the peak of this lead-induced malady?

Suddenly a lot more makes sense...

LOL... 

Bear in mind that for this theory, it also depends where you grew up. I personally don't know your story, utee, but there's a big difference between the lead in soil content growing up say in downtown Chicago vs growing up on a farm in Kansas, due to the amount of emissions localized.

But yeah, I was born in '78 in Oak Park, IL, which is one of the nearest suburbs to the city limits of Chicago. At a young age we moved to farther western suburbs. So anything that goes wrong in my life, I blame lead.

My closest Blue Life told me last night that "there better have been a gun," or that cop murdered him. He laid the whole situation squarely at the feet of the police. Even if there was a gun in the car, the cops were "just stupid."

His is just one opinion, but it's not my left leaning, skeptical opinion. It's one from a guy whose spent his life in blue, who has served a ton of warrants, both those that came easy, and those where they went in ready for a fight, who has had his hand on the trigger and thought he was going to have to pull it, and who has put murderers behind bars. Like most cops, he has a dimmer view of humanity than I do, and he knows there are a lot of dangerous, bad people on the streets. And he thinks society is being unfair to cops right now; he plans to take his retirement as soon as he can because he's sick of it. 

He thinks the pair of cops were stupid, and that the cop who pulled the trigger was in the wrong--and not unless there was a gun in the car, unless the cop saw the gun in the car, or the victim said he was getting it.

He mostly likely got when he left bible study that morning while he was on his way to perform charitable work at the local food pantry.

You're making my point for me, so thanks.  

on drugs -> bad person -> shot in the back -> deserved it


Right?

The "victim" DID say he was getting it. This "victim" won't have any more victims in his future. That's one positive here.

Why was he on meth?

Because that's what we all do when we have 3 kids in the car.

1) We should be, because police misconduct--particularly lethal misconduct--should be addressed.

But, and this is the bigger point:

2) Is there a centuries-long history of discrimination against white people in this country because of nothing other than the color of their skin?

Yes, there has been, and it's slowly changing - probably starting with my generation of people. It's not like it used to be.

The segregation and suppression started by the Roosevelt administration has been going away since the early 1980's.

Education is the key, but we need to build mutual trust. They don't trust those of us who are trying to help, and there are many of us. I don't know how to fix that.
