That's never stopped them before

False. Some un-armed have been shot. I've had police point guns at me and I'm not shot, same with the folk I was with - mixed racial group, Oakland, CA, c1995, 1997, 2001

E: oh yeah, and I've seen Seattle police draw but not fire on many occasions. Most recently was a few months ago, chasing a dealer up my street and hiding in the stairwell just outside my place.

E2: also, this is not the place for it - like all the other flagged comments

  • Notice we have this comment but no comments from innocent people who were killed by the police.

    • I do notice. The the parent said it "never" stopped them - I'm aware of a few. I'm sure not saying the police are perfect (they are not) - but "never"!? That's an absolute that's simply not true. Shit, kids I knew were killed by police (I also knew kids that were killed by other kids). Let's all be for real tho.

      Some police have killed some Innocents - and it seems to be getting more frequent - but it's not an always/never thing.

      I hope shit like this never happens to anyone you know.

      Now, give me more downvotes, I'm still here and have a session tomorrow.
