Indeed. Israel Hernandez ( 17 year old tagging an abandoned McDonalds )was shot and killed by the cops chasing him, most of whom were of color. Witnesses reported " high-fives " exchanged by said cops as they loaded his body into an Ambulance. This murder occurred in Florida.

That cop's history. Remember, he isn't White.

Brown is black on the outside and white on the inside apparently.That makes him a rainbow of another color.

If nothing else, dude is plain just too confused to be a cop and we don't even understand straight up racism, so his murky rainbowed ass has to go.

This girl could just have easily have DIED. Yes one can murder with a Taser.

Argument invalid. This is a systemic problem. Don't even try to #AllLivesMatter this.

Yeah, you're not even supposed to use soap on a cast-iron frying pan. If you don't, you end up with a nonstick surface that's even better than Teflon!

Its a problem with the the way police are being trained. Its a problem with militarizing the police. Also, since police officers are part of society as well, they are subject to the same corruption of character indicative of a decadent society.

If you truly believe that when a black cop shoots a black person its because of white-supremacy then what is the rational when a cop shoots a white person?

Clearly the child shouldn't have been tased. I hope the officer is fired and I hope the child's family gets compensated royally.

Yes, we must put the blame squarely where it belongs. On Colin Kaepernick. Fuck you. By any measure you would like to use, there's no doubt our justice system is racist and violent, especially to the poor and people of color. But I'm betting you were far less supportive of law enforcement when some white men in cowboys hats took up arms against them after losing in court.

Fuck the police. Seriously, No other first world country has the unnecessarily violent police problem we do. Why? Because in other countries, they interview potential cops and if you've a violent prick of a human being, they don't hire you. Here, it's pretty much the only job requirement. Today, a cop gets off work, is too dumb to figure out which apartment is hers, enters the wrong one and shoots and kills the person living there. Show of hands, even if you were drunk or high, how long would it take for you to realize you were in the wrong apartment? Or are we to believe they had the exact same decor? Cops of course face a kinder, gentler system of justice. This country is so fucked up.

Wait. Just a sec... In my home city in southwest Canuckistan when the cops taser grown ups they then take the tasee to the hospital to have the barbs removed. These asshole just ripped the barbs out of a CHILD'S back? Fuck them.

It's definitely a cop thing. It's "Us Vs Them" and cops are the "Us", and they really don't have any respect for anyone who is in the Them column. "Them" are just useless cattle, as far as they're concerned. Cops have huge disdain for "civilians."

I'd be willing to bet most cops were their high school's bullies, or high school bullies who went on to join the military, then became cops with those tendencies intensified.
