Let's say he was afraid of being shot, after pulling up at the gas station. The next "proper" thing to do was to comply. Put your hands up, slowly step out of the car. And you'd be on your way home in no time.

There are 2 contradicting orders: show your hands, get out of the car. If he'd put his hand down to open the car, he'd be shot dead, and the officer will claim he thought he's going for his weapon. Not putting his hands down save him that day

salford1:

How would he do that with the seat belt strapped?
If he reached for his seat belt, bullets would be pumped into him. They would say he was reaching for a gun. Diallo was shot over 20 times for reaching out for his wallet. If you were the one that had this encounter, you would have been shot in a dark corner because as a fresh of the boat immigrant, you won't have the sense to drive to a well lit area like a gas station.

This soldier used his military training to survive that encounter, yet you slammed him for it.

Nigeria is full of Monday morning quarterbacks who imagine themselves to be smarter than every other person alive. Name any subject, and a hundred Nigerian "experts" will start writing pages of ridiculous conjecture based entirely on rumors, television, and youtube videos.

Just imagine say na Nigerian military officer and olokpa ohh the entire police force would have embarked on strike till further notice

OnlyDeCapPlease:


First of all, compared to fellow G8 countries, US police is useless. They can't handle situations. Everything escalates with them, no restraint. Overfed egotistical emotional petty and unprofessional. Only special tactical teams appear to act professionally.

America is not Nigeria where police are afraid of soldiers, the police in the US are the ultimate authority on law and order and can arrest soldiers any day any time. But in this case those two police officers are just racist dickheads and wouldn't have treated a white army officer that way.

Jakumo:


To get out of the car, the man needed to (1) unbuckle his seatbelt, and (2) work the door handle with his hand out of sight from the perspective of the racist cops.

The INSTANT the man's hand moved to unbuckle that seatbelt or open that car door, he would have been shot to pieces by the cops.

Note that with the army officer's hands up in the air, the policemen could easily have reached into the vehicle to unbuckle that seatbelt, and open the car door, but that would have denied them the opportunity to shoot the man, under the pretext that they THOUGHT he was reaching for a gun.

Those repeated screams for the army officer to remove his hands from the visible "surrender" position, were nothing but a deadly TRAP that was recognized as such by the army officer, who will now live to file a robust lawsuit that will fetch him nothing less than 2 to 3 million US greenback dollars as compensation for the terror he faced, that could easily have cost him his life, had he followed those repeated orders to reach back in the car.

Very possibly, those officers had in their possession, a "throw-away" pistol, that would have been hastily placed in the dead man's hands once they had murdered him in cold blood, as concocted "evidence" that their shooting was "justified".

Naw, brother man, that soldier played his cards right, and with great wisdom. Now he is in the power position to retain a good lawyer that will secure his just compensation for this totally unjustified act of attempted murder.

You will stop worshipping white people the instant you set foot in the USA, and personally experience racism.

MejiLoyon:
Sometime last year in Winnetka there was a shooting. Just a random gunshot. Till today we don't know who fired that shot. Cop cars racing to the scene didn't even hesitate to pull over and asked us to lie on the ground. Even a fellow black like me dey among them. Wetin we do them no gree talk. Another shot rang out in the distance them no leave us. Another set of police cars dey pas come join us there. Them dey shoot for front na we dem say make we lie down. Because say we put hand for pocket dey feel oyinbo breeze. My hand still carries the mark of that incident. If say them leave me and then no weapon. All those obloblo oyinbo go collect. That day na him me sef use style hate them. I no go lie. I see them as soaked meat. I hate them die. But Wetin me sef find go obloblo country. It is well

Since you want to make this about black Americans, Immigrant Diallo from Guinea was shot 41 times for reaching out for his wallet. If you were the one that had this encounter, you would have been shot in a dark corner because as a fresh of the boat immigrant, you won't have the sense to drive to a well lit area like a gas station.

That's not how statistics work. You need to look deeper into the numbers. Please educate yourself.

What is the population of Black Americans in the USA compared to White Americans?

Statistics and research says a black person is 3 times more likely to be killed despite their low population.

The link you posted also agrees with the Havard research.

cococandy:
There will always be that ignorant over sabi nairalander who knows all about how African Americans should behave in order to avoid being killed by racists.

Yet they have never been in the situation themselves.
Leave them

salford1:

Of course. Na normal levels for Nairaland.

Just imagine the nonsense they are spewing. One up there is trying to justify police shooting of black people just on rate of crimes within the black community. How is it different from Nigerian police (SARS) labelling everyone with a laptop or nice phone as yahoo boy?

I don't even have the time to educate anyone. It can be very tiring and I am also at work.

Something for that Duante guy, accidentally shot by a policewoman after resisting arrest and trying to drive off. Why do you always want to hop and dance and run when you already know the cops are jumpy. Now they have started thrashing and burning their own neighborhood. Such harebrained move.

terrymason:
We passer by(Civilians), go join collect small for the army hand.

Tayeni:
point 5 isn't true. He was ordered to step out of the car for over 20 times and he refused. Before that, he drove for over a mile before finally stopping. Put yourself in the shoes of the policeman. Is that not a red flag that something is off?
