Good point. It's not that the cops are badly trained. They already have the mindset to harm people of colour.

I dont know what went down with the first shooting but in the video I saw there's a mob of people chasing him, one guy swinging a skateboard at his head and another armed with a handgun. Honestly I'm not surprised he shot them.

Cant comment on the first shooting though. Maybe he's in the wrong there, I dunno.

He's a member of a militia in Illinois; find me a militia that isn't an excuse for white supremacist to tool up, & spew hate. He's the original "Illinois Nazi"

He's a white guy who showed up armed in opposition to a protest against police shooting unarmed black men.

Are you accusing fishfoodie of profiling?

He turned up to "protect businesses" from rioters or something.

Just seems like a gun nut who wants to play vigilante rather than a neo nazi to me.

In the clip I saw they appeared to be trying to take the weapon off him, and I think there was someone calling for them to get the weapon on the audio as well.

From what I've read he shot someone in the head because they were on someone elses property (not the kid with the guns). That's when I believe the crowd started to try and get him. You can hear in the video they're shouting that he's killed someone.

notfatcat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 9:47 pm Oh, and just to clarify, I wasn't looking for a reason why people were chasing him, I was simply pointing out how mental they were considering how he was armed. Of course, these known criminals who were out rioting were only doing what any fine upstanding citizen would do - trying to make a citizen's arrest, and definitely not batter the utter crap out of him. Well, maybe the guy who got shot in the arm would have like to have given it some welly, bearing in mind his pal reported that his only regret was not killing the kid and emptying his entire clip into him.

There were peaceful protestors marching, to demonstrate their abhorrence at the continued violence against African-Americans.

... and then there were three armed groups, also on the street; thugs with badges & guns; thugs with no badges, & guns, but NRA cards; & criminals with guns ....

two people were murdered, that night, by a kid with an NRA card & a gun ...... and everyone agreed it was the fault of the one group who came to the streets without guns !
