say his name:Miles Jackson



Columbus Ohio. Black male taken into hospital for being unresponsive in parking lot. Police contact paramedics and it is learned he has a warrant for domestic violence and weapons violations. Officers begin to lay his down and find a pocket full of credit cards that belong to other people, a bullet, and other items. Then the one officer signals the other officer that he has a gun. As they try to put his hands behind his back, Jackson sticks his hand down his pants and repeatedly yells that officers are grabbing his “balls.” Officers can’t get that hand out of Jackson’s crotch and they begin to drive stun him with the taser. A shot is then heard which has been confirmed to have coke from Jackson’s gun. An officer shoots Jackson and then his gun jams. He attempts to clear it while they give out instructions to Jackson and admits he has a gun but won’t show his hand. They do this for four minutes and then another officer tasers him and Jackson fires another shot. The officers then light him up, handcuff him, remove the gun, and load Jackson on a gurney where he later dies.

He we are again. Killed for having and firing a gun, but the narrative will be that he was minding his own business sleeping when police got involved.

Protesters tried to break into police hq with bolt cutters and attacked police.
 
Did you watch the video? It was mostly non-violent. Most of the protestors went home. A few went to police HQ and got arrested, as they should. Not a big deal.
 
All the bodycam footage has been amazing. The anecdotal evidence to support the assertion that the disproportionate per capita rate of deaths by black men at the hands of police is largely the result of resisting arrest and aggression towards officers has become overwhelming. The chief factor, of course, is the incidence of contacts, which is established to be even greater per capita for blacks than police shootings of civilians (by any qualifying factor).

But it's time the conversation changed. Why do Americans have such a unique problem of resisting arrest so aggressively, and with potentially lethal force used against peace officers?

Why would you not? The two outcomes are:

1. Surrender. Face consequences for your crime. Bring shame to your family.
2. Resist and die. Become a martyr. People paint murals of you. Your family becomes rich.
 
Police need to have any bodycam footage involving a black "victim" on standby so they can stop these narrative's before they get started.

They are resisting because they are literally being hunted and will be shot dead either way. It’s that or I’m going to shout racist at you!

Your 2nd paragraph is on point.

If you take a look at the last 20 or so "controversial " fatal shootings or actions which led to death... I would said 95 percent of them would have been avoided had the person cooperated.

Alton sterling
Saint George Floyd
Blake
Mike brown
Etc. Etc.

This is absolutely true. We are being told that "police are hunting black men" when the stats reveal otherwise.

But like I said, these people aren't interested in debate or facts
 
You're unresponsive and taken into hospital, and you still somehow manage to get into a shootout with the cops.

That's a whole 'nother level of keeping it real.
Similar situation to the guy who was OD’d on the bus in Wisconsin. Paramedics and fire arrive on scene and revived him only for him to shoot and kill a firefighter before police shot and killed him.
