    Depends on the person. I think we have dueling narratives at play, which is often the case

    Not that it's at all relevant because it's never acceptable to resist arrest and no intelligent person ever would, but he was being arrested for selling untaxed cigarettes.

    Yeah I misread what you wrote. I agree people shouldn't be looting. Like with all of the other protests, it's just a minority of people. Correct the system and help those people and maybe it'll stop.

    What is your solution to the problem?

    The standard lib response to these issues is feign outrage, use words like immature, pa th etic, mentally ill etc... but never offer a solution or a way forward.

    You are too SC ARE of being seen as non PC.

    Uneducated blacks do not have a positive history in this country. They have only one way to go for respect and the gangster culture tells them it's guns, violence and drugs. There are no positive role models in their lives which is the bigge st problem, so they all grow up thinking they can be a rapper or kobe or nothing. Black community needs to take ACCOUNTABILITY for these internal issues instead of continuing to brush th em under the rug.

    this killing is just tragic, disgusting, and disturbing.

    just as disturbing as the Cliven Bundy supporting anti government cop killers.
    as disturbing as the fired vigilante cop cop killer.
    as disturbing as the ISIS supporting cop killer
    and just as disturbing as the pro militia survivalist cop killer.


    in fact,

    "As recently as 2012, ambushes accounted for the most fatal shootings involving police: 30% of the 50 firearm deaths that year were attributed to such attacks."

    tragic.

    It's odd that some are trying to equate the cold blooded murder of 2 cops to an accidental death of a man that was resisting arrest. Some people are pretty warped.

    White people protest and riot too you know? I really don't understand why people pretend like black people are the first to protest or riot.

    What is YOUR solution?

    Liberals are always trying to help the black community out. It's the conservatives who shun the community just like you are, saying it's their problem to get out of.

    LIBERALS want to help blacks get more jobs, which means they don't have to live in as much poverty, which means they don't have to steal, which means they don't have to get incarcerated, which means their children still have a role model.

    It's the people who IGNORE these legitimate ways to help, while SIMULTANEOUSLY turn the other way to real systemic issues that lead to the very cycles that you are discussing.

    This is how the NYPD reacted to a proposal for civilian oversight.

    NYC gun laws are very strict.

    The assailant was from Maryland but I would guess the murder weapon came from Virginia at some point.

    Too bad that their lax policy allows wrongdoer to obtain deadly weapons
