The Sean Bell Verdict and Al Sharpton’s Culture of Grievance
All do respect park slope Sharpton didn’t call for riots. This country was built on protest. And police procedure may be when you shoot you shoot to stop which can result in death. but the question is why does this happen so often? Why are police so afraid.You can point fingers but the truth is poverty breeds crime.this happens all over the globe to every race. and its a fact blacks as a population are poor. And why are blacks poor? because of this worlds past policies all over. so now when you have hard working people who are trying to catch up that live in high crime areas with scared cops people become victims of circumstance that the system created. if my partner opens fire my instinct is my partner is in trouble so i shoot at his perceived threat. but in the end he perceived it. How can you say he tried to run over a officer. maybe he saw him as a armed man and didn’t here or see him identify himself. Maybe the policies protect cops from “breaking the law” but there all kinds of laws and policies that need changing. An most important a police officer should not look at his job as a paycheck and benefits. You gotta have some real passion.
