If I had a gun at that point I would shoot him
The picture is very provoking
The U.S police need a strong resistance that will fall many cops before sense comes back
Twitter hashtags wont bring sense
you people don't get... Racism in US is deeply rooted all these protest won't do anything...many violent protest has happen in US in their history because of stuffs like this. Highest the president will call for high level investigation and those guyz won't be convicted for murder. This has always happened...Systematic racism is deeply rooted and intertwined in their society...after some weeks every one go calm down and move on

extol1:

it is not about inferiority complex, you are not getting my point. the deed has been done and they are protesting that the live of the black man is also important so as to prevent future occurrence. take for instance, the pregnant woman that was killed on her way to the hospital by the men of the Nigeria police force in ogun state, what has come out of it, as the president say anything about it or it was the killing of a student by a soldier. what have they done to him.
oga in the US case it will happen again...racism in the US is deeply rooted, violent protest hasn't happen for the first time. This stuff in the US is deeply rooted, it has always been happening

These frequent killings of black people are not going to stop any time soon,at least not until the black people start reacting violently too and make a very strong statement out of it. It has to be a kind of life for life violent reactions. The black folks have to organise themselves and must be ready to hit back immediately any black person is unjustly murdered. They can't afford to be a sitting duck for easy murderous target like this one any longer.

Whenever a black man is murdered by a racist white police officer like this,a white man should equally be killed immediately in retaliation by the organized black gang. By the time there is total breakdown of law and order as a result, the racist politicians who have refused to act now will definitely do something about it.

Enough is enough !
No. That is wrong .Rather the police officer should be silently targeted during his off days when he is not on uniform and killed .So that it will send a message across that any black man unnecessarily murdered by any police ,he will end up dead unexpectedly. this will send a message to the white cops that the black community are ready to avenge the death of their kin.
No innocent person should be killed for one racist cop action .If you kill an innocent person then it will be the world against them.
Then if the white cops decide to raid the homes of black community, every one should come out and stand their ground to resist any intimidation & cooperation from them.
This requires a lot of courage and unity of purpose by the black Americans

Ohh come on, Give me a chance and i will right now leave this continent. Just few incidents dosent make anything.
And it not just me, if you do poll, then you will find almost everyone will leave.

Do you have any idea If you return from foreign country then how difficult is to adjust here?
Me and my Fellow classmates (From Various parts of Africa) who studied in India had nightmare of this electricity Powercuts that it took us almost 8,9 months to adjust and realize ohh its new normal again.

Things, facilities, Services, Healthcare etc that we used to take them as granted over there are scarce and hard to access here.


Come out fake bubble of pride man.

amNIGERIA:
Having vowed to quit the US after being the victim of what he believed was a racially motivated arrest by police officers, African American Obadele Kambon relocated to Ghana in 2008 - and has never looked back.

This is still an option for many Africa American, China has proved that any land can be develop to the highest standard.

When Jews felt prosecuted, they migrated back to Israel, same with Scandinavia citizens, presently India is doing same for Hindus round the world.

"Prosperous Africa"� is still the best protection for every black man/Woman.

At least we have a common opinion in the sense that Blacks should defend themselves and avenge any unlawful killings of their kinsmen.

When will the black race wake up by building her home & continent & make it safe & habitable so that all black people can have a continent to be proud of and referenced as the pride of the black race. Until that day comes, we will continue to be treated as the rejects & orphans amongst the human race. After all it is said that charity begins at home & also no place as home.

my brother cure this inferiority. America is a shithole. Many police officers in naija have been sacked and detained, when found guilty of murder. What will make a police officer in naija kill you is if you struggle with him or he misfires. In America, once your skin is black, a police officer would be following you around or would try to arrest you or even kill you. That's a whole new level of annimalsim

And what about we blacks here in Nigeria hating each other because of Tribalism and ethnicity
Oga.White have killed white in the past and still killing .so are the Hispanics,The Asians, and the black race.

All race have issues with their own race and they can resort to violence if need be. No race is innocent and that is becos we are human beings

But what we are saying here is when one race unnecessarily kills another race just becos of the position they occupy or the uniform they have one..They use their position to carry out their prejudice and hatred for that race.
If not for the uniform the white can has one , do you think he would have been able to take on that black guy?

One thing I know for sure; the policeman wouldn't have placed his knee on the black man's neck if he was white.

It's a pity, but after this protest dies down it will happen again.

Racism is strongly institutionalised in the US.
The even bought the white boy burgers and fries on his way to the station.

The police can't mobilise themselves to prevent looting, but a phone call that a Blackman is wandering in a pack or white dominated suburban neighborhood will have like 8 cop cars speeding to the location.

And then started breaking into shops and stealing. How can anyone listen and respect such people?
Whites, Latinos, Asians etc were also part of the looters. Looting is not a race thing. It's just some disgruntled elements taking advantage of the situation.
Until the government arrests and charges the cops involved, chaos would continue for sometime.

Was there a proof that he commited the crime?
He was also already in handcuffs, how can he resist arrest when he had already been arrested?
Why did the cop kneel on his neck and kept kneeling for straight 9minutes despite his complaint that he can't breathe?
It seems you are justifying murder.

British police are light years ahead of American cops. You only see British cops carrying guns at ports of entry into Britain or maybe there was an emergency callout about an ongoing crime where weapons/firearms are present.
But then again, the UK has strong gun laws, so this makes their jobs easier. What they usually have is a baton and taser.

It's quite different in the UK and Australia when it comes to policing. Meanwhile you wouldn't ran into trouble in USA as a practicing professional unlike people going there just to "Hustle". However i think UK values Medical Practitioners more than the US

You can actually, may be not as much as someone that deliberately goes the crime route.

Amy Cooper almost got Christian Cooper (Havard graduate and professional) into trouble.
You being in the wrong place at the wrong time could get one in trouble.
There are plenty "Karen"s around looking for who to get into trouble.

Negros are more discriminatory than caucasians, theirs is even controlled by hate and thirst for vengence which makes it worst.

The cop's addresses are known.

There's only one form of justice for racist pieces of sh**.

People who think like this are animals. When you encounter a wild, violent animal h_llbent on devouring you, you kill it. Plain and simple. These people are animals who don't see a problem with their conduct. They should not be allowed to freely roam any corner of this Earth. They're sociopaths and criminally insane.
