Whites killed by cops in Georgia



https://investigations.ajc.com/overtheline/database/#filter/victim_race=Black

Blacks killed by officers in Georgia

133 whites.
128 blacks

Quote
According to 2018 US Census Bureau estimates, Georgia's population was 58.3% White (52.2% Non-Hispanic White and 6.0% Hispanic White), 31.6% Black or African American, 4.2% Asian, 2.9% Some Other Race, 0.3% Native American and Alaskan Native, 0.1% Pacific Islander and 2.7% from two or more races.

Unarmed?
9 whites; none after 2016. Two total in 2015 and 2016.
One under 20; two 20-29.

10 blacks; one after 2016. Two total in 2015 and 2016.
Two of the 10 were under age 20, four between 20 and 29.



Read those cases. See what patterns you can discern among the unarmed folks who were killed by the police.

Note, also, that during the 10 year period three Georgia policeman have been killed while on the job. (Two more died while working, but not because somebody killed them.)

Besides that making little sense, they are only following orders.

Couldn’t find what you were on about, but I came across this little bit of good news,

Keep marching.

Defund the Police.

Reparations now.

Atlanta cops should have:


1)  Knocked on the window and asked the man to please drive away (though drunk)

2)  Asked for the man to get out of his car, told him he would not be arrested and asked him to call a buddy for a ride

3)  Arrested the man - using force such as kicking in the groin to disable

4)  Tried to arrest the man - but using zero force, allowing the inebriated man in the end to walk/run away when they couldn't subdue him with just their hands

5)  other

The guy was asleep. Out of it. You wake him up and he’s fucked up. He gets out of the car. He is intoxicated. Park his damn car, put his ass inside, take the keys and license and give him a card with the number to call when he wakes up. Someone will come down determine your capacity and then give you the citation you earned.

The guy was asleep in his car what would a field sobriety prove that you don’t already know? It would mean running the numbers and putting him in the system. Oh shit he don’t have bail and it’s Friday so he’s stuck til Monday anyway. Maybe he has a shift on Sunday? Well, he’s fucked.
What’s he gonna do call a lawyer and tell the lawyer to tell his boss he can’t make it in and oh, could you bail him out?

Guy fell asleep in his car and ends up dead.

Why didn’t he just comply?

George Floyd complied.

Thank you for the link, UNO.

Kid, do you have absolutely nothing to say about the subject of the post?

Did you watch as Trump summoned his second hand so he could get the water glass to his lips? Or his unsteady journey down the stairs?!

No reactions you care to share, beyond the cadets saluting?

None of the cadets wanted to be responsible for causing drumpf’s 4th stroke.

They even wore masks so drumpf didn’t have to see them laughing as he flunked cadet 101 over the course of his speech.

Turns out Kiid was on point with the extra char broiling at Wendy’s.

2, 4, or 5. 2 being the best bet.

That’s the best way to handle it.

They have his key and his license and they know where he lives. Where’s he gonna go?
He doesn’t need to have someone come get him right then. That guy May be loaded, too.

Justice is meted out fairly and no one died.

Watched the speech. Boring boilerplate that someone else wrote for him and that he barely managed to read off the teleprompter. Coverage called it lethargic. I’d have to agree. Refusing to solute?  I’d give him the finger, making me go into two weeks of quarantine for that snoozer.

And yeah, I saw the water glass push in real time, and thought it was notable. Who isn’t able to drink a glass of water with one hand?  Not a healthy person.
