Black officers beat a black man to death for no reason. Is that a first? The video is unclear.
So can this be explained because I do not understand?

A lame excuse for the criminal element to act like criminals.

You're an idiot. They pulled a guy over for a routine traffic stop and beat him to death for no reason

One of the officers is charged with aggravated kidnapping. So that means he was unlawfully detained.

Another fine example of how to win friends and influence people.

Yeah they pulled a guy over for a simple traffic stop and beat him to death.
Stands the reason that there's going to be public outrage.
This guy apparently has no empathy for a guy who was beat to Death for no reason and you wonder why people don't like Christians

And you believe you fostered a way to make your point more accepted?

Accept my point or not. This is a guy who passed up aggressively trolls me all the time on here and I'm coming right out in the opening saying I think he's an idiot.
Of course there's going to be public outrage when a guy is beaten to death over a simple traffic stop

I am disappointed at how instantly people argue even here. Is this not a shameful thing as this is a place for Christian discussion? Every Christian group I have joined has been the same, endless senseless arguing, more so than non-believers. I thought it might be different this time.


The thing is a man, a human being, was beaten to death. How horrific! The answers will come in time as to why black officers of the law, the law which we all must trust and depend upon, would murder a black man. They have already been fired and charged with murder.
If it had been white officers there would have been huge outcries about racism. In this case the motive is truly puzzling. Even hardened troublemakers who jump on every bandwagon must be confused!

projecting out again? I commented on criminal rioters, not the lame excuse for rioting.

A soft answer would still turn away wrath.

If you really want things to change, then take the first step.

Dr Martin Luther King once said that riots are the voice of an unheard people
In context I don't think he was condoning rioting but rather describing a symptom of a bigger problem which is when people feel their voices aren't heard they're going to act out
And you notice these officers were pretty much immediately arrested in charged
So maybe the court system are finally wising up and realizing that the public at large will not tolerate anything less than Swift Justice when cops break the law

Today homicide is the leading cause of death among young Black men, and contributes significantly
to the shortened life-span of the Black male. In about 80-90% of the cases, the Black victim was killed
by another Black, and about 52% of the murder victims were acquainted with their assailant.

Quite a few years old now, but shows this is not a new trend.

I think there is systemic racism in law enforcement.
That's why Jeffrey Dahmer got away with his crime so long because he was killing black men and the cops didn't care

I don't care how outlandish you find someone's opinion to be, you will be civil. Name calling may be considered appropriate for Fakebook and Twitter, but it will never be tolerated here.

My apologies,
It's an emotionally charged topic and his flippant attitude got on my nerves but I'm just going to put him on ignore
To my knowledge they're having been any rides so he seems to be talking out of his rear end

It seems as I have everyone possible because it seems like they just pulled him out of the car and beat him to death for no reason.
If a motive could be established then maybe the charges would upgrade the first degree murder

Oops typo I meant to my knowledge there have not been any riots or violence, as the officers were pretty much immediately arrested and charged so it feels like he's just trolling but anyway I'm putting him on ignore
