If you're relying on your media to give you anything approaching truth on such an emotive topic that can give them so much clickbait you've got another think coming.

And the real stories are from people who are always going to have their own bias about how they or their family member was totes innocent of doing nothing.

It's hardy like any law enforcement is perfect, but the actual failings are never actually highlighted by people who haven't a fucking scooby about how shit actually works.

You're hardly a fucking unbiased source. Don't play that shit.

Sorry, but I'm going to disagree with you. In many cases, even a neutral story makes clear that no reasonable person would have been scared in a situation where a police officers have shot someone. And there are plenty of videos of un-needed police brutality. I don't rely on just the news. I try to get the whole story on things before making a conclusion. And some of the shootings that have been protested were reasonable police action. But many if not most of them weren't.

And I'm not going to say I know how to do the job of a police officer. But I know the system. I'm a lawyer. And the truth is, for everyone else who isn't a cop, indictment is all but automatic and then things are sorted out in the trial. Police, on the other hand, rarely are indicted. That isn't an opinion. That is simply looking at the statistics. And police should be held to a higher standard, not a lower standard, since they are supposed to be enforcing our laws and keeping people safe.

You're a lawyer, and you think the media actually provides you with anything close to the summary of evidence you'd expect yo get in a court room, or even making a charging decision as a case reviewing lawyer?

Fucking l e l.

And the reality is police by virtue of their job role are orders of magnitude more likely to be in a position where lethal force is required. Particularly if they're American. Yes if Joe Bloggs is involved in a shoot out and somebody dies they're probably going to be indicted, but if Joe Bloggs is a member of SWAT and in uniform I hope I don't have to explain to a lawyer why they probably won't be.

You're fucking British, you fucking dickhead

You mean "if they're American and preconditioned to think every black person they see is a potential dangerous criminal, even if they're only 12 years old."

I am so angry with you right now

True story - how our 'wonderful' boys and girls in blue utterly failed to protect my disabled son and our whole family from six months of hell - repeated assault, theft, scamming my son in the guise of friendship including trying to get him arrested, stones through windows, eggs pelted at our house by groups of up to 20 youths night after night, arson, garden gate ripped off and burned, front door repeatedly drop kicked until it came off its hinges,threatening to his father that they would rape my son [well over 50 incidents all told, not including the constant barrage of verbal abuse] and them finally when we caught two if them throwing stones at my son's head whilst he was standing at his own front door those bastions of justice arrested and charged HIS FATHER. Lying little shits.


Then FUCK RIGHT OFF with your police stanning after giving me an effusive apology.

/which you won't because you will try to pass it off as hearsay/'bias'. NOT. HEARSAY. MY FUCKING LIFE FOR MONTHS until WE installed security at a cost of several thousand and ongoing. Husband nearly had a breakdown.

Again FUCK RIGHT OFF. You should be ashamed of yourself. And don't even try to say what they did "why do you let him out of the house?" Yeah, sure, imprison him, that'll do it.

Ah, here it is. The "they were asking for it" defense. I have news for you: you don't have to be innocent as the new fallen snow in order to have the right not to be shot offhand by the cops.

He's giving us the real story from someone who definitely doesn't have his own bias about how his coworkers and colleagues were totes innocent of doing nothing.

So it's bias if people have a negative opinion but objective if it's positive?
