This is the equivalent of going to a funeral where someone's father died then interrupting it by going yelling, "My father died too! Why isn't this his funeral?!"

No, it's nothing like that at all. It's more like attending a funeral for a Black person killed by the police and saying you know how they feel because your white father (whoever) was also a victim of [b]police brutality[/b] You see, race shouldn't be a dividing factor. Both blacks and whites should stand together to fight against the violence and stop labeling one as "racist" simply based on the colour of the cop and victims skin. 1 wasn't the victim of a racist killing, both were victims of police over stepping the mark, and that's what's needs to be addressed.

I agree completely, but by titling the post "actual" police brutality he is undermining the recent incidents that occurred that obviously sparked this post. A better way would have been to add on to the incidents as proof of police brutality rather than say that the other two weren't.
-
It isn't though. The mainstream media chooses an handful of police shootings to cover to annually the reinforce a stereotype that all cops are power mad racists that hunt blacks when the reality is that people of all races experience police brutality.

Edited by Jay: 7/9/2016 4:55:16 AMHe's showing a very blatant double standard, actually. The media doesn't care when the police brutalize on whites and they don't care that more whites are shot annually by police than blacks. All the media cares about is causing social unrest because that's what gets their ratings up. This video is very clearly police brutality. There's no arguing around it. Most of the cases BLM has rioted and protested over had too little information for a clear right/wrong to be identified. And again, most of those cases found the police to be working within protocol. If the media and BLM [i][u]truly[/u][/i] cared about fighting police brutality they'd talk more about cases like this where LEO's were blatantly in the wrong.

Not really... you may wish to avoid trying to make parallels in the future.
-
Thats a false equivalency. This shows how racist the left and media and you are. We'll see a blacl man get right fully shot but we get caught up in the black. A white teen is wrongfully tased and injured and we are in the wrong for asking why no one protested for him. An actual victim. You'll march and chant all year for a criminal. But won't even remember a victim.
-
You're not in the wrong for that. You say this is "real" police brutality implying that the attacks were not. Im not a BLM supporter, but that was most definitely brutality, whether fueled by racism or not. Im not looking at this from a race perspective. Both were examples of police being in the wrong, but don't try to undermine other incidents.
-
The attacks on Micheal Brown or Treyvon Martin were not incidents of police brutality.
-
I'm not even going to bother answering that because the attacks on Alton Sterling and Philando Castile which obviously triggered this post were most definitely police brutality. The one with the white kid was as well, no doubt. But the two blacks [b]killed[/b] isn't less than his incident
-
The alton one seems justified. He was a past criminal. Could not legally carry a gun and had a gun on him.
-
So instead of following protocol and arrest the man for not abiding the law, sure lets kill him. Isn't martial law great?
-
The cops said he was reaching for his gun. Now in the original video I can't tell. But he was found with a gun on him so that leads me to conclude he was in fact reaching for his gun.
-
How can you seriously not tell? He stated he was carrying a concealed weapon while reaching for ID. If you cannot tell that he wasn't reaching for his gun in the video then there is no point to me saying anything else

Well spoken.
