if he was white, he deserved to be shot too. he happened to grab a tazer. if he grabbed a gun, it would've been worse

That's blaming the victim.
The objective is they shouldn't and can't continue to be executioners.

It's racist and it's bullshit.
They know how to take white people home alive. They know how to kill us because they can.
that has to stop now.
We've done the "Well we need to do everything we can to not offend them so they don't kill us" shit
and that hasn't stopped them from doing it


that's done.

Aight I don't know what tot ell you because you keep getting off track. You're telling me its racist and its bullshit as if I didn't say that same exact thing. Nobody blamed the victim. The discussion is how do we make it home at night. You haven't answered that. We can sit here and talk about what happens. We know what happens. How do we get home to our 3 kids and wife at home?

I'm not getting off track though lol
The entire point is we shouldn't be asking how do we make it home at night.
That's what needs to change.
And what does making it home at night matter? Breonna Taylor made it home that night and was asleep in her bed.

You're saying let's strategize how to combat them and that's what we've been doing our entire lives. It was like that before we got here.
I'm saying that time is done we need to turn the accountability to THEM.

True but don’t fight the police when you’re in the wrong, I believe that’s what he’s saying.

The cop was wrong for shooting him in the back. But if he just let them cuff him and take home to jail, he’d probably be out right now.

If he let them cuff him for what?
Also, why did someone call the police on a black dude sleeping in his car?
It wasn't out of concern.

The officer that shot him just came off 9 hours of de-escalation training.
Have you seen the 30-minute video?
Dude was calm and explained to them everything for 29 minutes. He was sad. He just visited his mother's gravesite and was taking a minute before heading to go greet his daughter and his girl for their birthday

if the police officer saw him as a human being this entire situation would have gone differently.

BUT ultimately. Since it doesn't matter if you're wrong or right, if they decide to kill you they will... let's FOCUS on them being wrong first before we talk about how to avoid them murdering us. We been there we done that. We teach it and have been taught that and it doesn't stop them.

Something else has to now.

I’m saying hold them accountable and make it home safe. It’s not a either or situation. We should be doing both. This brother is gone and now a kids don’t have a father. A wife doesn’t have a husband. A mother and father have lost their child. The Breona Taylor situation is nothing like this.

Dude was sleeping in his car in the middle of a drive through lane. Of course somebody will call the police. He was blocking the lane . People were going around him

And that’s all I’m saying. This situation isn’t like Floyd or Breona’s. I’m speaking strictly on this situation. This man could’ve played his cards different. Would it have mattered if he did? We won’t ever know.

He was asleep in a drive thru, he failed the DUI field test. He failed the breathalyzer, he was drunk and was going to jail for driving/being behind the wheel while intoxicated.

That happens everyday and the person doesn't get killed.

We've already established that the cops were wrong in shooting him, his family knows that the cops were wrong outing him.

But I can guarantee you that his family will forever ask, "Why couldn't he just let the cops arrest him? Rayshard escalted the situation which caused the entire altercation.

Again, he didn't deserve to die but if he just went to jail and accepted the responsibility for driving drunk. He'd be alive today.

Again, the cops were wrong for shooting him in the back.

Mr brooks was non confrontational the whole time and polite, he never once raised his voice or got loud. while that cop kept trying to get mr brooks to say he was drunk. Its alot of wrong all the way around but, mr brooks should still be alive.

People get taken in for drunk driving everyday. If he just let them arrest him and gotten in the car, he'd be alive today.

And before anyone comes with all these scenarios on what the cops could've done. Yes the cops could've shot him the back seat. Could've murdered him when they got to the precinct or killed him and dumped him in the nearest lake. Yes that all could've happened, but most likely it wouldn't have.
