Yes, a pill bottle or wallet looks just like a black plastic 1911.

Dillon Taylor was white, cop was black. Where's the outrage?

I don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

The dude in Beamon's link with the pill bottle was black.

The cop that shot him was white.

I guess you are just trying to be deliberately misleading.

Not the first time for you.

Ok, in the absence of you providing any information I researched it myself.

This is the last time I do this for you Pete.

I looked at the video and to me it appears to be a case of suicide by cop.

He pantomimes drawing a gun from his waistband.

http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=31772096

The Dude practically wrote a suicide note on his facebook right before the incident.




I feel bad for the kid.

He was one of the many that our society has marginalized.

He got to the point where he couldn't take it anymore.

Why do you think the kid got shot?

Because he wanted to be shot.

It's really sad that we have a society that allows people to be marginalized to the extent that they give up all hope.

You want to take this completely out of context don't you?

Well you can't.

You don't have a centuries long history of whites being enslaved by blacks.

You don't have another century or more of Jim Crow oppression of whites by blacks.

You don't have a long history of a pattern of overly aggressive policing of white neighborhoods by black cops.

And you don't have a pattern of black cops shooting unarmed white kids.

You found one, but I'll bet you would be hard pressed to find another.

But go ahead and try.

For every unarmed white kid shot by a black cop that you find, I'll be able to find 10 unarmed black kids shot by white cops without even breaking a sweat.

Go ahead, try it.

I dare you.

I double dare you.

I'll take a stab at it Pete. The guy that called it in said it was most likely a fake gun and the dispatcher failed to include that information in the call to the officers who responded. Sounds like another failure typical of the Cleveland PD. At least the DOJ is cracking down them for the systemic failures they've been up to.

It's no wonder you don't trust the police in your area.

In today's news:

Cleveland police lack training and technology, Justice Department finds

http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index..._training.html

And no comment as I am not familiar with the situation there.
