LeBron also agreed with a Tweet that said, "The entire system of policing sees the Black body as a problem. No matter who pulls the trigger."

Far more innocent Blacks are killed by Black people, than are killed by Police.

And yes, as only 11% of the population, Black people commit more than "their fair share" of crimes, warranting greater police surveillance.

No debating either of LeBron's sentiments.

But Equity? 😧

You've completely misunderstood the Tweet that LeBron was agreeing with.

To quote NWA:

But don't let it be a black and a white one
'Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin' out for the white cop

Why do you think that is? Do you think that Black people are genetically more prone to criminal behavior and anti-social violence? Or, could it be a symptom of systemic racism and inequality? Maybe we do need to talk about Critical Race Theory!

What resisting did you see? All I saw was Tyre instinctively covering his face and head and the cops kept yelling about him "resisting ".

Tyre was instinctively resisting damage to his head. That's muscle memory NOT resistance.

Tyre (also instinctively) only ran AFTER they tazed him. He still had the tazers stuck in him. He ran for his life, probably hoping his mother would hear his screams.

First video, when Tyree was pulled from the car, he resisted all directions to get on the ground on his stomach. What in the first video makes you think that he wasn't resisting being cuffed? To quote Tyree "I didn't do anything,I just want to go home". Not saying that this justifies the excessive force in the second encounter, and I have no idea what he did to get pulled over in the first place, but assuming it was a valid traffic stop, he did not comply with LEOs commands, resisted and things escalated.

He was complying with several different orders being screamed at him. If you watch carefully, you'll see them drag him out of his car (no chance to comply) and cops were screaming different demands to him. How would YOU react to getting yanked from your car, on your way home from work, pepper sprayed, tazed, punched, all while different demands are being shouted from several different cops?

Edit to add: your "assumption" that it was a lawful stop is wrong.

I'd get on my stomach and put my hands behind my back and let the courts and my lawyer work it out. I certainly wouldn't continue to try and sit up, kneel, roll around and not allow myself to be cuffed.

First off, it wasn't a valid traffic stop. The police chief has come out and said the officers had no reason to pull Nichols over. Second, he was given 71 different commands by multiple people over the course of 13 minutes. It was impossible for him to comply with everything being shouted at him.

So assuming the traffic stop was not a valid stop, my actions would be the same. I'll comply and let my lawyer and courts sort it out, and then walk away with a large civil rights settlement. But I'm certainly not going to argue with LEOs and refuse to comply in the middle of a street on a traffic stop whether it's lawful or not, that leads to nothing good when dealing with any LEO.

From what I see, yes it is systemic. When told you must be the victum and everyone is against you, what do you expect?

The Democrats need POC victims so they keep them as victims. It is the cultural version of Munchausen by proxy.

Edit: As far as 'critical race theory' goes, that is the most racist thing against the POC to come along in over 50 years.

Let's see you stay still when five guys are beating you. I don't think you can do it.

They could have subdued him and cuffed him in moments. They wanted to have fun beating someone instead

You have the order of events a little mixed up. 1. Pulled from the car 2. Immediately arguing and not placing hands behind back 3. LEOs attempting to cuff 4. Resisting cuffing, take to the ground still not complying and resisting

There was no real excessive force until the second encounter when he fleed the scene of the first encounter. There were no punches or kicks in the first encounter. The first encounter was still apparently a violation of Tyre's rights (unlawful stop apparently) but there was no real excessive force in the first encounter.

Spoken like a true brainwashed sheep who hasn't clue as to what Critical Race Theory is.

An entire culture of people have spent generations blaming others for there Problems and Tell me Sookie the CRT expert ....How has that worked out for them ?

Asians , Jews and Latino's for the most part have carved out there piece of America and did so with out blaming or expecting a damn thing .

What are Black people to Liberals ? Pawns who are expected to be loyal and Subservient .

What are Black people to the Right ? Americans just like anyone else , no less no more.

Slavery was Evil it was a damn shame and I wish it never happened , But every single Race on Earth has been enslaved at one point in History.

a reply to: asabuvsobelow

Black people have been the subject of systemic racism in the USA since its inception. That's a fact. That's not to say that all people of color, including Native Americans, Asians, LatinX, Jews, Muslims and Hindi haven't also been victims of racism and bigotry.

Critical Race theory is the study of how America has dealt with race, 3/5th of a person representation, slavery, emancipation,the Mason Dixon Line and the Missouri Compromise, Jim Crow, segregation and integration, Chinese Exclusion Act, Indian reservations and internment camps, civil rights, etc, etc.
...And how it's effected society as we know it today.

a reply to: Sookiechacha

So why was it that 150 Black people started the Republican party? Did they not like the KKK of the Democrat party?

You also don't seem to like the teachings of Martin Luther King. He was a threat to the party that had to have the POC victumes. He was eliminated

Thirty years ago we were all more colorblind than now. You mention several sins of the past, let's talk about today. BLM is in it for the fame and mostly the money, not to help Blacks. Antifa is in it for the fame and fun of being seen as good little faciestes.

What do these two have in common, Democrats. I am not saying all Democrats are this way but those in charge are.

This is why Black on Black violence is largely ignored. This is why 'critical race theory' was invented. It is all part of their plan. Keep the people devided to stay in power.

This beating had too many cameras involved to be ignored.
