The mental illness that shows in that man running naked towards police it just gut wrenching.Just a sad story and not worth sensationalizing, IMO.
I think you mean drugs.The mental illness that shows in that man running naked towards police it just gut wrenching.
I was trying to figure all that out too. What in the hell were the cops doing there? Murdering naked guy running at you with arms flailing like Pee Wee Herman...club that idiot, take him down and cuff him.What a weird video. Why is the first cop running away while trying to use mace? Let the guy run to you and take him down. He clearly has no weapons. Then, after running away, the cop then starts chasing him. Which is it, bud?
It certainly looks bad when you see the videos out there of how certain people are treated by the police.Sad story.
Blake is lucky he is white

Did they know he had killed 3 people at the time of the vid? Or did they just think it was some random naked dude running around?I think 5 or 10 years ago, the cop would've shot him and been justified in doing so. Now, they can't shoot an unarmed man. Even if that unarmed man just killed three people and tried to kill another man while being chased by the cops. They guy was a threat and should've been dropped on the spot.
The bolded sounds good in theory, but then you run into a naked guy like this.What a weird video. Why is the first cop running away while trying to use mace? Let the guy run to you and take him down. He clearly has no weapons. Then, after running away, the cop then starts chasing him. Which is it, bud?
From what I heard, he was a suspected triple murder which is why he was running from the cops, but also during the chase, he stopped and tried to strangle some old dude. That last part alone shows the man to be deadly threat and should have been dealt with by inflicting deadly force. It's not often that it is OK to to shoot an unarmed person, but this was one of those cases and the cops chose not to. Luckily the old man will survive that mistake.jrt103 said:Did they know he had killed 3 people at the time of the vid? Or did they just think it was some random naked dude running around?
This is our society today didn't you know. Can't have a conversation without someone bringing up race.parasaurolophus said:What does blakes color have to do with anything?
Maybe he had a weapon stashed up his butt. You can never be too careful.I was trying to figure all that out too. What in the hell were the cops doing there? Murdering naked guy running at you with arms flailing like Pee Wee Herman...club that idiot, take him down and cuff him.
To white people nothing.parasaurolophus said:What does blakes color have to do with anything?
absolutely everything?parasaurolophus said:What does blakes color have to do with anything?
Absolutely devastating. Good lord.I didn't know one of the victims was a young child until reading the ESPN article. :(
Did the cop in the video know the guy? He just kind of taps him with his baton when the old guy is getting choked.
Thats an interesting theory, but what does it have to do with blake's color?To white people nothing.
To black people this is another example of how police often times can handle a perp differently based on color.
It's an awkward conversation white people don't typically like to hear but one the black people constantly bring up...usually on deaf ears.
A black guy just shot a bunch of police officers and they apprehended him unharmed.absolutely everything?
a naked black man charges police.. he's dead before he gets inside of 15 feet.
a naked white triple murderer charges police.. the police run away.
yeah, i know 1 in 75 times the black guy gets away unharmed so that proves everythingA black guy just shot a bunch of police officers and they apprehended him unharmed.
Also believe it or not i witnessed a naked black man charge at police and fire fighters and end up unharmed. I was actually the one that called the police since he was trying to climb into our wastewater tank to go swimming. He actually ended up on top of the fire truck throwing stuff at everybody at one point.
Also two weeks ago a man in maryland was arrested for murder. True or false. He ran away naked and was black.
It happens all the time. You just dont hear about it.yeah, i know 1 in 75 times the black guy gets away unharmed so that proves everything
