1. Yeah, but I am not surprised in the least!

You also can include the shooting death of an unarmed man in Columbus Georgia, by the name of Kenneth Walker. This happened close to two years ago, and the officers is still under investigation. Guess who was black and who was white?

3. It's sickening that this type of inequity in handing out justice continues

across the country.

2. I understand your point, but try going into a little more detail

There's more to the Atlanta one than you all know. They had several complaints against that guy and he totally lost it when the woman was trying to do what he told her to do. She did hit him with her flexible rear view mirror, but it seems that you do that when someone is standing in your way but ordering you to do it.

Race card won't work on that one. Sorry.

4. From the video I saw, the driver was wrong. She abruptly moved

the vehicle, hitting the officer she was wrong. He violently removed her from the car, but then he was hit by the car. I see the problem as being a black man attacking a white woman.

7. I am going by witness testimony

He screamed at her to move her vehicle right then but refused to move himself.

She was doing what she was told to do, while waiting to pick up her older mother.

What a nice man. He got what he deserved. I don't care what color the cop is, for a situation like that (with his prior history), dismissal was completely called for.


On edit: I completely agree with this statement: "Justice is different for blacks as it is for whites." - but not in this instance.

9. I disagree. You don't move your vehicle when somebody's standing

right beside it. That showed animosity on her part as well.

11. You do when a cop is yelling at you to do it

I saw the video too. And as I said, witness testimony backs her up.

This time, he was in the wrong and he was terminated for it.

12. So...

exactly what do you do when an officer is screaming at you to move your car, but intentionally blocking your way?

5. The other question is..

Glover fired 19!! times. I wonder if he was carrying a police issue firearm (probably 9mm) which means he would have had to RELOAD to fire that often. Hmm...

6. Years ago this white woman with a gun had the cops chase her. She closed

I-15 due to negotiations reasons. This woman pointed a gun at another woman in a parking space, road/rage incident. After 6 hours of flashing the gun to the cops and a closed Interstate,the cops got her to give up. She gets out of the car AND PUTS HER HANDS IN HER POCKETS WHILE THE COPS DID NOTHING! All nicey, nice!

Mission Beach, circa 1998, former NFL and Notre Dame fottballer Demetrius ??????? was drunk and unruly, making a scene on the sidewalk. Cops told him to get on the ground, he turned and walked away. SDPD pumped 14 rounds into his back. Eight of those were when he was in a PRONE position! Allready lying down when they finished him off. The NAACP, Jessie Jackson and other black groups and leaders screamed for justice. After a lengthy investigation the shooting was found to be justified.

A white woman with a gun, pointing it at cops and bystanders.
A Black man, no weapon, didnt attack the cops, just shitfaced and walking away gets 14 slugs pumped into his back.

Justice is different for blacks as it is for whites.

8. I'm confused. Aren't both officers black?

"Off-duty officer Alfonzo Glover (pictured below) shot Wilbert Prado in March.

"Terrance Alexander is preparing a lawsuit against the city of Atlanta, two days after the police chief fired him for using unnecessary force during the arrest last November."

Or is this a question of the victim's ethnicity?

10. Oooops. I thought Glover was white. My apologies. Thanks for

the correction. I'm deleting this thread.
