Thoughts on PoliceBrutality?

I am pretty neutral on this subject due to the fact that I hate cops but that's only because I do illegal things lol so I'm pretty sure everyone has a problem with them but I do also respect that they are just doing their jobs. Now the shootings on "innocent" black people is pretty outrageous to an extent, some of the deaths are unjust and look like racist crimes but others are simply survival reflexes imo. Think about it from a police officers point of view... There's a man with a gun on him or in his hand and you tell him to drop it and put his hands up, he doesn't comply and continues to yell back at you or move towards you still now at this point I would be nervous af already and let's throw into the mix that I have a wife and kids so am I willing to risk my life and try to detain an armed man or take the safe shot from a distance... These are just my opinions lmk what you guys think on this subject

I'm honestly neutral also, mostly because of what happened recently in Dallas. Honestly if we really wanted to get the point across we wouldn't kill cops; this is literally just making the situation worse because cops are gonna develop the mindset that they need to be more aware and be ready if something like this happens they can take the offense now even though the unjust black killings can't go unnoticed killing others won't help the case

Sorry for the rant tbh

depends
the guy who was shot in the arm who was legally carrying a gun was probably killed for basically no reason. but for all i know that could've been fabricated in his favor because the video started recording after he was shot. the cop was clearly in distress so i have no idea who to believe in the situation because i'm far to ignorant on the subject just like everybody else because no one saw what happened before the video.

the one guy who was shot in the chest had a gun in public illegally and he pointed it at a homeless person (not to mention he was allegedly selling fake dvds) in the video when the cops had him down he was moving after they told him to stop moving which was his fault that he didn't stop. regardless i feel the brutality of the kill is unjustifiable but then again he did have a gun.

don't quote me on anything said in this because i did little to no research on the subject. for all i know they might've actually been innocent and the cops we're in the wrong. regardless of all this i think its bullshit to "blame white people" like some of the videos i've been seeing have done. 

finally the cops who got sniped guarding a peaceful protest definitely shouldn't have gotten killed. Death does not justify death.

I think police brutality is needed because we have a overall declining respect for authority. Police officers should be something to respect and not something to yell at while filming them with your smartphone.
