Could it happen here?

I would hope we the people wouldn't allow it here.

Riots or police murdering citizens?

Yes

Explain?

I see the riots........you think that will keep the presumed "murders" down?

Touché


How long will we the people sit on the side lines while citizens get beat down and their rights incrementally taken away by LEO's that think their badge overruns the constitution?

Why does a person, black or white, get his wind pipe crushed, his spinal cord severed and his leg snapped by LEO's?

The riots are a bad reaction, but is anyone surprised?

It will happen here, and I'm surprised it hasn't yet. Don't worry though, it may not be near our neighborhoods for a long time. Not until the LEO's start snapping the necks of kids mud riding on private property or stealing Yetis from carports, then there will be riots close by.

In the case......the police department is predominately black.........so just more black on black crime??

I think we allowed the criminal element to be "cool" and acceptable.......tolerated almost........

these "kids" you mention, they seem to have pretty lengthy raps sheets.

This one example the dude was 25.....is that a kid?

Doubtful, I think each side will only fuel each others indignation and lead to more and more.

LEOs should all have cameras recording on their chests. Shouldn't they be begging for it so they can justify curb stompings and back shootings? Or maybe the instances would stop... Shouldn't they go on strike until something like this is implemented?

I agree with that.........for sure!
It should be the rage of Sharpton and the like to get this done.
BUT, my speculation would think if would support the officers more than then the perpetrators

I was meaning kid as in someone's son, not necessarily the age of the person.

I don't care about the color of the cop, nor do I care about the color of the victim. The victim is a citizen, and the cop is part of an ever growing group of folks on a power trip that fall into a terrible game of Us vs. Them.

What was the victims rap sheet filled with and what was he being stopped for? Don't know, don't care. There is nowhere in my constitution, or the LEO handbook, that says after 13 misdemeanors a citizen can be beat or shot to death when a LEO sees fit.

Haven't we seen on the most recent of cases that the immediate assumptions made are wrong?

So this case, this case is the one the is finally right?

do we really know what happened yet?
Does anyone go back and rap these things up with the facts?
Hell, even the most awful of cases recently we now know the policeman had a tazer dart in his chest.

I just ain't buying the LEO are just gunning down innocent men for reasons of a power trips.

The power trips are by people who have no regard for the law......and do not want to pay for the grimes they have committed.

BR and NO are at some risk for that kind of nonsense, though much less risk I think than in the criminal empowerment zones of the northeast. Lots of business owners and private citizens have guns on their persons, in their cars, and in their businesses. I've even detected long guns ready at hand in a number of businesses in Louisiana.

Exercising RKBA kinda takes the steam out of looting, rioting, and pillaging fairly quickly. It's not that our worst citizens don't have the potential for that kind of nonsense, it's that our best citizens have the means, motive, and opportunity to end it quickly. God Bless Louisiana!

well stated.........there are more "worst" in these areas than "best"........
what creates the worst in people?
Might be another thread.........

Ecclesiaster 8:11

When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people's hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

Quote of the year right there!! LIKE BUTTON

I don't understand the mentality of the rioters here: I'm white BUT it in no way offends me nor do I think there is a widespread problem of police brutality against innocent white people when I read about some white trash little dope head with a rap sheet as long as my arm getting beat up, tased or even shot while resisting arrest.

"In 2012, 123 African-Americans were shot dead by police. ... Same year, 326 whites were killed by police."

If they would shoot a few looters I promise they will stop !!


Open fire

When I was young, drinking, and a union leader during a strike agitating the crowd I still had the sense to leave the area when the police told me "It is time for you to leave here on your own or we will take out of here. You have done enough."

Oh wait the police were there doing their job not watching as the mayor requested.

Unfortunately the mentality of the nation is going down hill fast. It would be interesting to see what would happen if something like that were to happen in this area. A lot of CCP holders here. I do not think we would stand for our cars and property being destroyed like that.

Absolutely it could happen. Sadly enough the people that would take arms to protect their homes and properties would end up in jail before those gorillas in the streets would. And we all know this and would be hesitant to go out and do something about it.

And God forbid one of them assault you and you assault them back when their back is turned to you. We've already seen what people think of that.
