I've grown kinda numb to all the blacks being killed by police. They seem so horrible on the surface. Inexcusable. Racist. Corrupt cops abusing their power. Infuriating. Tragic. Sad.

And ANY death is tragic and sad. Any unnecessary loss of life.

HOWEVER........it's seeming like more and more often....the nation reels from these deaths....only to have more information come out a MONTH later....that paints a much different picture than the one the MSM jumped on the day it happened.

Anyone else noticing this trend?

Just thinking out loud. Don't mind me.

They eventually release body-cam footage....and you find out the guy physically assaulted the police, resisted arrest, resisted a taser, continued to rough up the police, ignored all directives, was given countless chances to comply and deescalate....but they choose the exact opposite.

I'm not saying that happens in ALL cases.....but it's been happening in a LOT of them.

I'm not saying the cops should shoot them to death the moment they don't cooperate........but there's a messy line where lack of cooperation quickly turns into the lives of the officers being put in jeopardy by this person's spastic behavior.

And in ANY situation where a GUN or KNIFE presents itself....you can bet your ass the cops aren't going to mess around. Bullets will probably start flying.
