Racist cops yell to residents “Blue Lives Matter” after they murdered 15 year old Makiyah Bryant, shooting her 5 times in the chest today after she called them for help. Yes, racism is systemic and it’s in all police depts.

1. This won't age well. N/t

[StarfishSaver]

2. Wow

No words.

20. OK, so I might owe you an apology based on my post on that other thread.

I said there was a lot of gray in the actual shooting, which there was. That girl in pink might have had her life saved, but the cop fired five shots pretty much right after he got out of the car, which is excessive.

But this behavior by these police is way, way, way out of bounds. These are racist cops. The racism must stop.

Yeah, no words. Just a sick feeling about how very far we have still to go.

3. WTF ?

get to the latest page, now

I’m thinking more than cellphone cameras are going to be needed from this point forward

✌🏻

4. Police press conference on the shooting (with bodycam footage)...

5. Suggest folks look at video before jumping to conclusions.

7. You think it's okay for the cops to be yelling that?

[Hoyt]

8. No, definitely not. But I think the policeman saved the life of the other girl.

Scroll down and you’ll see video of actual shooting, that seems warranted at this point. Personally, I don’t believe in “good shoots.”

[StarfishSaver]

10. Sure - the cops were taunting Black people with an arguably racist (in context) slogan

But aside from that, what evidence do we have that they would shoot a Black child without justification?

[Hoyt]

11. Think you are wrong on the shooting. Any policeman gloating should be dismissed.

[StarfishSaver]

12. The two cannot be separated

Police officers gloating that way evidence a mindset and a culture that cannot be separated from how they respond to Black people in tense situations.

25. +1, its a privileged mindset that allows that level of unprofessionalism

[Progressive Jones]

14. I watched that video. I'll let the investigators work that one out, especially after the slo-mo cut.

What I did see was that girl with the knife going after two different women in that brawl.
The woman she had pinned on the car was the first to approach the cop when he walked up.
Then the shit hit the fan, and she was dragged into it. She was lucky not to take a round or two herself, being that close.

This is a tragic mess.

[rockfordfile]

22. I agree

[uponit7771]

24. The officer can save the girls life and build relationships with that community. He's not right now

... taunting people with a contextually racist assed slogan.

Policing, like being an airline pilot, has to be disciplined and perfect and not taunt people with stupid bullshit.

[Hoyt]

32. From what I understand, the police doing the high fiving was not the one who shot the lady.

Back when the George Floyd protests were at their height, my red/rube area sent around a neighborhood email to put blue lights outside our houses to show our support.

I wrote back that while I generally support the police I was not going to do anything that might take away from the BLM movement because I support it. In fact, I said I would do it if we started with a black light. Some of my neighbors still look mad when I go by, which is fine with me.

Point is, any police doing that kind of crud need to be disciplined and likely fired.

6. i think its time to shut down all pds , sherrifs and special inforcment. have the

feds take over and revet alli repeat all cops and then restart the things . its time the cops quit protecting the rich and that what was the reason why they were formed .

[3Hotdogs]

9. "Blue lives mater? I don't wanna hear none of that dumb shit." Perfect.

[burrowowl]

13. K&R

Blue lives matter, then they should act like human beings and not monsters.

[Progressive Jones]

15. Exactly. There's no need for that. They're fired up over the Chauvin verdict, no doubt. nt

[StarfishSaver]

16. But we're supposed to believe their partner who shot the 15-year-old couldn't possibly have

had an racial bias that impacted his decision to start shooting.

[Progressive Jones]

18. Hell No! nt

[uponit7771]

26. +1, not only that but we can TELL these officers have NO TIES whatsoever with these communities

They could give a shit, mostly white PDs patrolling mostly black neighborhoods HAS to stop.

America isn't there yet

[yardwork]

33. This needs to said over and over.

[dalton99a]

17. Kick

19. I Believe the Technical Term is "Holy Shit"

Those are some seriously dumb fucks out there shouting about their rights, no doubt forgetting their oaths and job responsibilities, and doubtless nor for the first time.

Who do they think pays their inflated salaries? They will of course turn to their "union" for an answer, but unless this is the most unusual "police force" in the country, their wages come from taxes on their victim and other citizens and they are sworn to protect those same citizens. "Blue rights," my ass!

[Cheezoholic]

21. I'm sure I'll get nailed by the PCW police in this forum but

this thread has 2 different timelines going. The OP was about the police securing the scene and the statements made by them which were bullshit and should be investigated. That's what this thread was about. But just like the situation it evolved into something else with the youtube video.

The second is with the youtube video. As to the video of the tragic incident, I ask anyone on here to walk into that situation themselves what they would do. Who was the asshole who kicked the one woman in the head in front of a cop who had a gun drawn which drew the cops attention momentarily away from someone with a knife. The officer was trying to understand this volatile situation, who is a danger and who is in danger. I can hardly figure it out watching the video several times.

This is an absolute tragedy that gets played out every day, every week, every month in this country. When are we ALL going to grow up, quit blaming, and work towards solutions. This cancer of killing, race driven, suicide driven, police driven, irrational emotion driven, economic driven, when will we as a people crawl out of our little fragile shells of our personal ego's and wake up.

28. What are the PCW police? thx in advance

[rockfordfile]

23. Of course Police lives matter. But they could of handled themselves little better

[stopdiggin]

27. No reason at all for this kind of verbal exchange

with the community following this tragic shooting. Completely wrong. Second point -- there is no way this shooting comes even close to being 'murder' -- and casually tossing that term around serves absolutely no purpose. Also -- completely wrong.

[uponit7771]

29. I hold LEOs to a higher standard than to respond with an in context racist assed slogan ...

... that doesn't help build the community up than a rando who could have the situation wrong.

Yes, like airline pilots police have to show a high level of operation and discipline to the jobs

[stopdiggin]

30. couldn't agree more. and in this context ....

pretty deplorable! I would really think some discipline is in order.

[ExciteBike66]

31. The cops could have just echoed the "Black Lives Matter" chant, the shooting saved a black girl

from being stabbed.
