i really don't think that'd be the case. the cop has a decision to save someone's life or not; i don't think they're going to avoid that obligation because both women would be white. it'd actually be contradictory cus why would it make sense that not shooting a white women and letting her stab another white woman is evidence of preference

Yes my sources are contested. That's what goes on in academics. Do you think every article ever published by your side goes on to be accepted

I know that they’re men’s names

Completely random forreal but it's just kinda surreal seeing someone with a Tupac avy cape for the police in any manner lol

This study is from 2016, there's been newer study that refute this

And even at the time his study was disputed

Yeah exactly. So wait is this an issue with gender or race?

I wouldn’t have deleted

The only way to partially solve this issue is no more white cops.

Nigga you’re arguing in bad faith. You mad cause you think mfs itt was saying only niggas get shot when nobody was even saying that youre literally arguing to be arguing at this point. You stay getting shut down with every post from everyone that’s responding to you. Just stop g.

I don’t think ANYONE in here is caping for the police

Nobody is rooting for the police or hoping they shoot people

That’s bullshit

Just because you can be objective and see that not every single thing the police do is wrong doesn’t mean you’re caping for police

There is no way he could be "right" in that scenario there is no "right" in that scenario. It's a lose lose situation caused by a system that should be dismantled

Saying that he made the "right" decision makes it seem that the police officer (and police in general) were valiant in killing Ma'Khia

You can say that the cop shouldn't have let the other girl die, but you don't have to say he should have killed Ma'Khia

yeah tbh i don't dispute that black people are more likely to be killed by police even adjusting for frequency of police encounters. and maybe even adjusting for context of encounter. but not everything is a group thing. some things should be looked at on an individual / case by case level. if my sister or daughter or cousin were about to get stabbed, i think I'd want the officer to do what he did

Get off my d*** please I do not care lol

Tupac surprisingly believed in the justice system if you listen to his interviews. was also very pro 2nd amendment. wouldn't be completely surprised if he grew to be a Ye or Killer Mike

i agree w/ that, but in this situation significant force was necessary to try to ensure that the girl about-to-be-stabbed doesn't get hurt. if the white-version of this situation produces an outcome that is likely to be worse (1 dead girl, 1 girl in prison), then i don't get how this columbus OH situation becomes a racial matter in any heavy way

it’s both. duh. black women, even girls, get treated like men.

ppl don’t look at ‘white girl w knife’ and think danger.

ppl look at black women and all men as violent and threatening.

and TBC I don’t think uniformed cops should kill ANYBODY unless they’re being shot at.

this a whole different conversation

Sure. You’re arguing semantics though.

Of course nobody thinks the cop was “right”. But he literally potentially saved someone’s life so even if he wasn’t “right”, he also wasn’t “wrong”

Uhh yeah tasers don’t work if you don’t f***ing use them. Pretty sure a 15 old girl would have dropped if she would have been tased or pepper sprayed but guess we’ll never know.

You can say that the cop shouldn't have let the other girl die, but you don't have to say he should have killed Ma'Khia

Im pretty sure this is what most people mean anyway tbh

I remember filming a skit for English behind this building with my classmates in like 9th grade, like 3 cop cars pulled up, they pulled out guns and screamed at niggas to get on the ground. One sudden move and they would’ve probably started shooting.

If it was white kids the cops would’ve pulled up on some “what’s going guys. You’re not supposed to be here. Let’s get it moving”

Then stfu and quit commenting from the bench clown
