Re: Detroit
What do these shootings have in common?
Floyd, Brooks, Littleton?
How did their interaction with the police start?

Re: Detroit
Thanks.
What do these police killings have in common?
How did their interactions with police start?
In the case of Floyd, it looks pretty clear that he was brutalized by the arresting officer.
In the case of Brooks, maybe not so clear... but let's give it the benefit of the doubt and say Brooks was brutalized.
In the case of Littleton.. I don't see how you can make a case for it... but be that as it may...
All of these cases share a preceding felony which precipitated the initial interaction with the police.
I know what I'd tell my kid if I wanted to increase his odds of coming home every day.
Don't commit felonies.

Re: Detroit
You always seem to toss a little misdirection and sleight of hand into every post.
No one has suggested that the criminal behavior perpetrated by the police against George Floyd was justified.
Only that his odds of avoiding such a fate would have been greatly improved, had he not chosen to engage in felony behaviors.
The same was true for Mr. Brooks. And also Mr. Littleton.
So it would seem reasonable then for mothers wishing to tell their children how to avoid a similar fate, that they tell them first and foremost not to engage in felonies.

Re: Detroit
This is still idiotic!!
Your chances of death by police SHOULD NOT RISE after committing a non-violent crime. When the hell was George Floyd a threat to anyone's life??
The SAME Aurora, Colorado police that arrested the movie theater shooter killed Elijah McClain for no reason!
