http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43512095 Protesters in Sacramento, California, blocked a motorway and basketball arena over the killing of an unarmed man. The dumbest thing about these protests is that they're literally standing and protesting in the middle of a freeway, blocking traffic in a high-commuted area. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The dumbest thing about these protests is that they're literally standing and protesting in the middle of a freeway, blocking traffic in a high-commuted area. And yet, it's when protestors quietly kneel during the playing of a national anthem of an entertainment spectacle, interrupting absolutely nothing, that makes people absolutely frothing angry. I don't agree w/ the blocking of roads, I'd rather they do the kneeling thing, it interrupts no one's life. I've said so in the past many times on here. But the country has spoken, and deserves what it gets. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I looked at the news and drove to work with a different route, it's not that big of a deal. This is the second day it's happened, life moves on

From what I've read on the shooting, it seems like one of the more justifiable ones. The cops are supposed to be releasing body cam footage so that should help clear things up.

Nor did you hear about the other unarmed black young man who was shot to death less than a year ago. Feel however you want about the protests, they're happening this way for a reason ...

The shooting was fair. Had he just stopped and gotten down on the ground when he was told too, instead of running in the first place he would be alive. I've seen the video, both body cams and the helicopter view. He had a small object in his hand in the dark after running from the police. It's an honest mistake on the part of the cops and it is all that dipshit's fault that it happened to him. I don't care that it turned out to be a phone. The cops shouldn't have to wait until they've been shot to start shooting back. If you run from the police in the dark with a small object in your hand you accept the risk of having it mistaken for a gun and getting your stupid ass shot.

Is this proportionate response to, even if the actual culprit, "damaging several vehicles"?

It's an appropriate response to "criminal actively refusing to comply with orders turns around with a small object in his hand in the dark". The time to wait and see what the object could be is a luxury that officers do not have. Should officers wait until one catches a bullet to the head before they open fire? --- Miami Dolphins | Portland Trailblazers | San Francisco Giants I won't say a thing, because the one who knows best is you. ...
