get a device to emit the brown note, to keep the perps tranquil...What "nationwide standard" could be adopted. It's great to say "we need to do something "...but what?

I've had them draw their weapons on me several times. I got into a physical altercation with one. Any one of those instances could have resulted in my death. Am I just lucky or does it go deeper?And I believe congress needs to get involved.
First & foremost this is not an excuse for thuggish or criminal behavior. Nor is it a condemnation of police in general.
In the past I have created threads saying that the black community needs to get control of the culture in their inner cities.
Now it is time to recognize that we have a problem in the police community. It has become terribly obvious that temperament & judgment is an issue that the police departments across our nation are not paying a lot of attention to with regard to their hiring practices. So many police shootings seem to be questionable and it usually boils down to judgment. It makes me wonder if the screening process for selecting candidates is adequate. I also wonder if the pay is too low? So low that it attracts too many of the wrong individuals? It's like we just hire whomever applies as long as they pass a back ground check with little regard to their psychological well being or ability to function under extreme stress.
If you watch the video posted to Facebook after this latest shooting you can hear the sheer terror in the officers voice AFTER he had already killed the individual. He sounded like a child who was scared shitless.
Perhaps some nation wide standards could alleviate some of the problems with bad hires. We give these men and women a great deal of power over our daily lives so why not create some rational standards by which we determine who receives that power?
No we have a dumb ass liberal problem in this country, I am older then you by a few years, how many times have you been shot at by the cops?
The cops are not the problem.

I have several threads on crime in Chicago. I also have a thread challenging you to an IQ test after the third time you called me low IQ. I gave you mine, which is 122, you offered chicken shit excuses instead of your results.Shit happens? Seriously? That's what you say when you hit your finger with a hammer not after you kill someone...What's wrong with this picture is a man is dead for no reason.Yes, The Officer Down Memorial Page reports 53 deaths in the line of duty as of July 7, 2016 for this year....YET not a fucking soul gives a shit about them, knows their name, or even says "That officer could have been my son!" ( The Obomanations Quote, just changed slightly for that black THUG, Trayvon Martin!)....Instead all we hear is the sparse instance when a man of BLUE kills a man of black....something is definitely WRONG with this picture!
Shit happens...it happened to you, and YOU could have been dead if the guy was just a LITTLE STRONGER, ....or had a gun or knife!
Christ, the callousness is unreal
Yes it is, Convicted thug! Apparently one black or even a dozen blacks killed in Chicago by BLACKS draws nothing but an "IS THAT ALL THIS WEEKEND?", but a cop kills a black, and all shit breaks loose from the LOW IQ, EX CON, and black THUGERY crowd!
And the guy in the car was a chef, not a thug.

122 is not a low IQ dummy. It's top 10%I have several threads on crime in Chicago. I also have a thread challenging you to an IQ test after the third time you called me low IQ.

As I said SHIT HAPPENS, and I told you awhile ago that 55 years ago was the last time I took an IQ test and it was substantially higher than yours! I have NOTHING to prove, apparently YOU DO, bragging like a Donald Trump about your LOW IQ! If the cop made a mistake, he will be charged with murder, but since the Obuma regime is now sending it's FBI BIAS TEAM to investigate, that cop will be RAILROADED whether he was guilty OR NOT!

Yes. The standards that are required to be a cop are now very low. And the training is minimal. They are not trained on how to actually BE cops. They are trained to be social workers and paper pushers. Then, when they get into a sticky situation that a cop from the old days would have recognized as not being actually dangerous, they shoot first, and ask questions later.

Here in NYC an officer is now able to be SUED PERSONALLY for his actions....I don't blame the police for TAKING THEIR TIME to answer calls. Lights and Sirens traveling at 25 MPH, and HOPING to get there in time to MAKE A REPORT and NOT get into a confrontation, as the crime rate under our Socialist mayor continues to CREEP UP once again!
You don't think he looks Latino? Then I guess you're the one who is the bigot eh? In any case the cop was Asian...so don't expect too much news coverage. There's nothing there for the skin pimps.

Police officers have ALWAYS been able to be sued personally. It is not new. Title 18 Section 243 IIRC "Denial of Civil Liberties Under Color of Authority" is the relevant piece you want to look up.
The CCW holder told the officer he had a gun, then reached under the seat for his license and registration. Wrong move. Once you tell the officer that you are armed, don't move. Do not move your hands out of the officer's sight. Tell the officer where your gun is and where your license and registration are. The routine is for the officer to secure that firearm, then let you get your license.And I believe congress needs to get involved.

There is, indeed, a problem with the "police". And, as a black man, I'm going to explain what it is. The problem lies (not all cases) with "attitude". Black people have, for years, shown attitude - rather than complying with officers. I'm no fool. If a Cop approaches me and directs me to lie down - you can bet your ass - I'm going to lie down.
Now - white police officers are far too quick to draw their weapons and fire. That is a FACT.
The video in LA (in my opinion) clearly shows the police murdering this man. The video in Minnesota CLEARLY shows the officer murdering the man.
AS a former federal agent, and, a CCW permit holder, I can say with certainty, this young man was ABSOLUTELY correct in his actions. He told the officer that he as a CCW permit holder and that he was armed. EXACTLY what you are taught to do when interacting with the Police. He did nothing wrong. This police officer fired before thinking.
Hopefully, he is charged with murder. This man SHOULD have been riding a desk - rather than patrolling streets. You are correct in saying that he acted as a "child scared shitless". No business being on the street and, if they still had the Psychology based testing - they might have caught this.
However, you still have to understand the psychology of the situation. Police are far too used to encountering "attitude" when approaching black people. That is wrong and will ONLY change with extensive training.
This man did it wrong.
He shouldn't have been executed. The cop did wrong.
Yeah...he shot too many times....but he was right to shoot.....once would have been enough.

Nope. The law I referenced is a FEDERAL LAW. It trumps all state and city laws. The problem is the legal establishment tried like hell to hide it from the general public lest the government officials be made to pay for their sins.

Odd as in NYC even if you are a city gov't worker and are sued ON THE JOB, the CITY took responsibility and could do so EVEN IF the Federal Law is different, as long as SOME ENTITY could take the responsibility!
