Nope.. Chuck Testa.
The shots were fired in his side, through the open side window of his car. He wasnt driving AT the cop.
Well, well, well. I guess a certain narative that certain people here believe in is not as true as it may seem. Good find, Asante.

That is sufficient to you? Of course it is... Nobody cares. White lives don't matter. Obama is not opining to change public opinion, but then his son wouldn't look like that kid. Puff Daddy isn't writing a song about it. Why would he? White lives don't matter. I haven't seen one article on it on the BBC which I visit every day. A black kid gets shot and its on the front page. My face book feed gets filled with white guilt when a black kid's death is publicized. The only place I have even seen this incident reported is here on the shroomery. White lives don't matter is the logical implication of black lives matter, and the evidence supports it.

I value my health and safety too much. I'm not going to martyr myself against public opinion and the police - I am too selfish for that. I normally just keep my head down and pretend to have white guilt along with everybody else. I oppose the police in the only way I think I safely can - by never cooperating with them and voting against them via candidates and measures.

There was an article in the washjngton post about this a week ago. I think there is a lack of sophistication in people's understanding of what drives TV news. It's not the racial aspect. Think about it... What makes a story appealing to a visually based media outlet?

Think about it. When did the Cincinnati story explode in the media? About ten seconds after the video was released.

Stop making threads about this. Nothing is going to change. The police are actually being trained in the academy to shoot first and ask questions later. Want to know why?
Who remembers the infamous dinkheller video? Where he pulled over a combat veteran and he got killed? I actually lived 2 miles away from that spot. They show that video in every academy to teach cadets to not hesitate when it comes to dealing with people. They are becoming more armed. Night sticks, tasers, mace, guns, handcuffs. They are more fucking armed than our armed forces.
Everyone keeps complaining and crying. I know what's going to happen. Pretty soon the right incident is going to happen and then all of the militias all over the US will come out and declare a 2nd American Revolution. I researched this stuff and there are people actively training to fight the government. They are undergoing training just like our armed forces. Also the veterans living here will fight too. But it will be too late. The government is already too strong with weapons we know nothing about..

An average of three people a day are murdered by the police. That is far too many stories to get national coverage. What makes the story rise to the ocassion is video or at least some unusual compelling aspect that is noteworthy, like protests or the fact that the victim had his spine severed. Another dead kid white or black at the hands of police is just too common an occurance to get a lot of press without video.

time for the media to bust out the champagne bottles
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/08/07/unarmed-black-man-shot-texas/31324897/
Notice how USA Today gets the races out of the way in the title and in the first sentence of the article 
Quote:
Texas officer on burglary call shoots unarmed black teen
ARLINGTON, Texas — A white officer-in-training shot and killed an unarmed college football player who drove an SUV through the glass doors of a car dealership, police said.

That is practically none, considering the numbers and how many people need shot. Being a cop is awful and everyone hates you. Thousands of cops, thousands of interactions, someone is going to fuck up.

The real story is that 705 people have been killed by the police this year already and it's only the beginning of August. If you don't think there is something seriously wrong with this kind of policing than you might as well surrender all your civil rights.

The police are well on their way of committing over 10% of all the homicides in the country for 2015. You think that's nothing?
armed robbers/muggers kill fewer people than cops. Think about that.

No video, but it's among the articles on the front pages of USA Today, CNN, and MSNBC.
MSNBC's headline reads, "Christian Taylor feared for his Life".
Poor guy. I know that when I drive my car through the glass doors of dealerships -- I always feel warm, safe, and secure. It's probably the fact that I'm white, though.

Cops in the rest of the world know how to do their jobs without shooting people like this. There are more police killings in one week in the U.S. than there are in Britain in a coupe decades. And Britain isn't some peaceful little backwater of a country.
