The worst part of that whole story Trevor didn't get to tell was the police never called the family of this boy to tell them what happened. They had to find out their son/brother was dead from FB. For god sake if you accidentally murdered someone the LEAST you could do as a cop is have someone from the department tell the family what happened and give condolences.
Love not trying be rude but save your text... because u and I both know they don't care...if they were white they would've gotten a call...but us ppl of color...please...they would say quiet because that's what they do... sweep shit under the rug and act like nothing ever happened...
Few things make me happier than to see someone as wise and eloquent as Trevor use his voice to say things others are afraid to. This was an incredible piece, bravo.
@@Ben-pp5tt I guess this uncomfortable truth spoiled your comedy. There is nothing unusual about a comedian becoming serious and making making a social comment in his act.

Hes right, historically the bill of rights was written far before the abolishment of slavery was even an idea in the US. The bill of rights was intended for white men originally. Since even women were considered second class citizens/property.
In Finland our cops have strict orders not to shoot unless seriously threatened for life, and even then the aim is not to kill. If a cop shoots someone they always face a court process where the necessity of said force is evaluated. Generally this system works well - I don’t remember a single case where a police officer would have shot an innocent person. That said, I only remember a handful of cases where they’ve had to shoot at all. I guess because were a “socialist country” our bad guys aren’t that bad...? Or then it’s just that our legislation regarding both law enforcement and gun ownership does amount to something. And for those of you who don’t know: gun ownership is perfectly legal here but under strict laws and for instance concealed weapons aren’t allowed in public.
i believe our officers are taught the same as our military: Shoot center mass. it's a bad policy for civilian engagement. it occurred to me today that there really is no judicial system in place to evaluate officer killings of suspects in my country. i'm almost positive the police evaluate themselves (though i easily could be wrong). our court system wouldn't try a dead person, and that is the only legitimate way of determining guilt. it's so weird that this hasn't come up before. why do dead people in America not get their day in court? obviously a dead person can't actively defend themselves or make basic decisions regarding their defense, like plead innocent or guilty. but it's amazing that our system isn't built to acknowledge this crucially important question. how is this a thing? if an officer kills someone... What, they're just automatically guilty, without a trial!? that's insanity! i'm just thinking off of the top of my head. i'm definitely not a lawyer or police officer.
My Country has many Years where our Police uses less Ammunition than US-Police in one single incident. If they shoot, its into Air or to stop people (arms, legs) not to kill them. Just some ideas: Education to be Police Officer = 3 years (not a few Months at max like in the US), no Military equipment for normal Police, Special Force like SWAT only for dangerous Situations (some time ago i read in a Newsarticle, that SWAT is used to execute simple arrest warrants), ...oh right.....dont give any idiot a Weapon....then your Police dont have to fear the Citizens.

Son of a cop, soldier, American citizen....all they saw was black 😞 ....we all have targets on our backs from these so called “cops” 🐷🤬 “ok I’ve been getting a lot of responses about he wasn’t a soldier his dad was a retired MP , he might have been part of the fight” Here is the part that really matters the cops said “they made a mistake, killing a man and have put the cop on paid leave” if you just go with those facts it’s still WRONG! They killed an innocent man stole his life, stole his time with his family, stole his future of having kids or maybe saving lives! The cop STOLE everything he worked hard for and all they say is you have our sympathy and it was a mistake... it’s not a mistake it’s murder!
@Dragon1717 THAT IS THE DISCUSSION ,THEY DID NOT SHOOT BECAUSE THEY FELT THEY KNEW HE WAS RESPONSIBLE BUT BECAUSE HE WAS A BLACK GUY WITH A GUN ,AND THEY SAID "WE GOT HIM" SO CONFIDENTLY ,ANNOYING . HE'S 21 IN A STATE WHERE GUNS ARE LEGAL AND I ASSUME THE POLICE KNOWS THAT AND COMMON SENSE WILL ASK THEM TO ACT LIKE THEY ARE THE POLICE
I am African American...I have no felonies on my record , but when ever I try to purchase a firearm the white clerk always tells me the federal database is putting me on hold, so how do mass murderers get a pass?

A few lol.as for whining that’s all you people do drag that same sorry statistic from one video to the next , going by your logic , we should keep white males from children because of pedophillia , schools , bars , and concerts cause you want to shoot everybody .You all should be monitored closely for depression . Cause you will snap and take others with you .and if mommy doesn’t pay you enough attention you turn into a dam serial killer.
And that would make up for taking a life. O we shot and killed The wrong person but no worries the cops involved have insurance for these matters. How does that rectify the family who lost someone?
Zer0 Moore it more about having accountability; cops can kill and send someone to jail; they don’t pay a penny it’s the city.... if you make them responsible and affect their pockets they will not mess up..... as a soldier if I shoot someone I am personally responsable; if it’s found that I killed outside of the rules of engagement I would go to jail, Uncle Sam doesn’t pay for that. Why should we hold cops to a different standard?

@dashaun stewart. Fred Hampton was not merely shot by cops, he was targeted and executed by the police. No matter what he did, there was no way they were going to let him live. It would be great to see black and hispanic people create shooting clubs and have shooting competitions, just to see how the NRA and similar groups react.

It doesn't matter what they have to say. They're not the ones living in fear ever day due to the prejudice and discrimination attached to the color of their skin. They are not living in fear everyday for heir family and friends-- who can be taken away from them just be being black. They are one-sided. Their mission isn't to spread awareness but rather propaganda which limits people from thinking outside this indoctrinated system. They don't care at all. Why should we take an interest in what they have to say if they can't accept the fact that this is the truth--black people in America don't matter and no matter what position we're in we can't escape or be seen past our blackness. We should strive to learn, educate, and question the very system that had created a troubling reality that some have to live with--either by acknowledging the privilege that white people have AND working tirelessly to use that privilege to bring awareness to the voices and stories of mariginalized people...especially black people. Now that's how we make steps towards shutting up these propaganda pushing networks that want nothing more than to make a quick buck off Other's pain. I'm sorry but I don't care what they have to say. I care more about what we as Americans-- more importantly humans--are going to do. Period. Miss me with that.

I love Trevor Noah for this: He addresses the real questions in society, and really helps us process it, tossing in a little humor too. Props! EDIT: Thanks for the likes!
He put a great spin there, I could not laugh, being a descent of American Slaves. Nothing will change till we realize slavery never ended. The 13th Amendment solidified that.
a doctor can go to jail for severe malpractice that results in death because you have a job where although error within reason is human nature, avoidable incompetence is severely punished because of the irrevocable cost ...where is the accountability for police? That police officer did not properly assess the situation as is common sense and required for this job and should be in jail!
Lala Ghana-Love Also there’s an uncomfortable amount of officers that have either a record of abuse power or a low IQ, but they can pass all the physical requirements
How is the media and everybody making insane speculations when the facts have yet to be provided. Do you know with any certainty that the officer did not give commands to EJ, which he could have refused thinking he was above the law because he was in the military or believing he did not need to be relieved of his gun because he was innocent and had a permit. I don't know what happened and you don't know what happened. I think my scenario is just as likely as any other
That is one shooting where I think it wasn't justified a majority of black people shot by police are justified though. It's ignorant to say that all are guilty but equally to say everyone is innocent
Antwon Rose while he was unarmed was in the back seat of a ruthless driveby minutes before he got shot. Running away can be searching for cover. But he was unarmed so an angel...
@Kimmie Roségold You label me a bot because you can not refute anything I have said. And the irony of you forming your opinion based on an edited video and then telling me to watch the video is laughable. You clearly have based every one of your arguments on emotion, while you ignore facts. You are lost, and it is really sad to see. And wtf do you mean "y'all"? Is your racist ass being racist again?
Before any talk of gun rights or accusations of institutional racism, can we all agree that it's messed up that police officers rarely receive punishment for committing manslaughter? When the man on the street kills someone by accident, they can get sent to prison for two years or more, but when an officer of the law does it, it gets brushed aside because it's "part of the job". It's no surprise that officers can be reckless with the use of lethal force when they themselves never suffer the consequences.
Colin Forbes obviously we don’t know what will happen to this officer though to your point about officers not answering for mistakes the same way civilians do, that’s deliberate. I don’t know a single state or county or municipality that doesn’t indemnify their officers. No one would do the job if they were on the same scale as civilians. By going through whatever academy they graduate from the state then assumes liability. Governments at every level do actually try and get out from under protecting any officer and plenty are put on trial. They’re juried trials so really it comes down to twelve people one of whom, at least, doesn’t want to convict a cop.
@@charleshetrick3152 When police officers fail to protect their charges yet go unpunished by their superiors, people can't help but think of them as the paid enforcers of an abusive state. Utopia doesn't exist, I know, and while the police can still be a pain in the ass where I come from, they don't kill someone under questionable circumstances and get away with it as often as they seem to in the U.S.
They should be able to sue the Government/Justice system for it, if this person was a family man/provider imagine the impact it'd have on the family that the breadwinner is killed and there's no compensation for it?
"before any talks of institutional racism"- dude, in this case its directly related to the action itself, so why would you need to shush talks about it by going on a macro level (not to say it becomes untrue)? Or by purposely mentioning a real totally unrelated issue (since the shooter was a cop) along with it?
Curious to know who else had guns drawn and were they people of color? Why could the nurse on site not aid this man? Why did the cops fail to call the family? A vet and a person trying to do the right thing in this situation. Business as usual. Institutional racism is not fiction from a comic book.
He was wrong to say Black American citizens should not legally carry guns. We have just as much a right to bare arms as any other american. Black Americans have fought hard and died to gain and keep are rights. We cannot just lay down and die without holding on to our rights. We fought and used our rights as citizens to make positive changes to this country. I say we have fought to hard not to practice the rights we have before we start losing all of our freedoms.
He has a valid point. The Parkland shooter the Charleston 9 shooter and countless other's who were known offenders/killer's all taken into custody without incident. Only in today's America 2 black guys killed for being good guy's with guns. I want to see body cam footage of both incidents and I can almost be certain they were fired upon without commands.

In my opinion, it's mostly because you know who's gonna try and shoot you. Also helps that you are trained well and have buddies who are trained well alongside. Cops are poorly trained and have buddies who are equally badly trained , so this happens.
This is the saddest comment ever. I can't even fathom. I'm not American however my heart aches for black people there. As I leave RUclips. I can't deal. Too many emotions. I really am so sorry for the fear that African Americans leave under on a fucken daily basis. This is too much.

This is really frustrating because responding to an active shooter call you get tunnel vision big time, while all the civilians were running away from the shooter, these cops were running towards the shooter.

@TheIndoor Outdoorsman if he was a plain clothes officer, you must know he's been on the force awhile. Police are supposed to be "trained observers." The officers who gave this cop some "hot ones," clearly reacted to color. And in their minds, a Black man with a gun, is clearly committing a crime.
@@abdlhmdx :"most silent" not "absolutely silent." You clearly went back to find that. There was other laughter you didn't even catch. Why? Because you have a destructive, divisive agenda.
What I want to know is why they always shoot to kill. Trevor is so spot on. The 2nd amendment doesn't apply to black folks, and that is a horrifying reality. And what horrified me even more is the lack of accountability for these murderers.
Hand guns are not that powerful. Most people don't realize this because everything you see would lead you to think they are death rays. Especially if you're a 110 lb woman defending yourself from a 200+ lb man, you want to shoot for center mass to disrupt vita functions so he stop immediately. You're also not going to take the time to try and aim just to wound someone. You will have to defend that in court and they can(and have) tried and paint it as "malicious intent" even in a self defense case. If you have time to aim just to wound someone the logic is you had time to get away. It's just not practical in the few seconds a lethal force encounter lasts.
When you have an adrenaline dump, you have a loss of gross motor function. So the stress of being in a situation where you have to deploy force on that level is such that trying to hit a limb becomes much more difficult. Wounding someone won't necessarily end the threat.
"The shooting in Aurora" The fact I thought he was talking about Aurora, Illinois is so upsetting. There have been two Aurora shootings where multiple people were slaughtered. I have to ask, which Aurora and that's unacceptable. When will enough be enough.
Not even joking, the other day I was talking to my friend and he started talking about a shooting. I was like, “which one?” Which is really sad that I have to even ask that.
In Rio a black waiter was murdered by the police bacause the police assumed his umbrela was a gun, so here if you are black is not even safe to carry an unbrela out

that's the thing for me. They just shot the black guy and immediately decided that was the shooter and 'went home'. Did the guy even shoot his gun? Did they really secure the scene or question witnesses before releasing that press release? I would hate to think one of the people who just walked past them with a gun was the shooter.

It's the truth though! It explains why I never see black people at gun ranges ...because they aren't crazy enough to take the chance. We live in screwed up times.
Totally agree, I am a black female in America Haitian American to be exact (living in Florida). I love going to gun ranges, I used to go and shoot every Thursday. But now with all this going on I generally feel unsafe going. Which sucks because it is an activity I enjoyed. I just don't enjoy it more than my life.
Bradley McP. Yeah. You're right. I live in Arizona and I use to go when I was younger. That was 11 yrs ago. And out here it's not just the Hispanics that are targeted. The second I almost got shot by a cop after I notified him I had my rifle in my trunk and was headed to the gun range I LEGALLY sold it and have never bought another....

Tiffany Robinson That’s terrible but sadly completely believable. I thought having a few racist cops was bad here in Missouri but not compared to the blatant racism all cops seem to stand behind in the south. It’s ironic really. They claim there’s only some good back people but the truth is there’s only some good cops. I’m so sorry for your community’s loss. This should have never happened.
Honestly these comments have just gotten disgusting. Calling a cop a “pig” just for being a cop is what is disgusting. We see a lot of bad cops on the news, but there are a lot of good cops out there that of course don’t get covered, because where’s the fun story in that? Cops ARE having to be more careful since there’s people going out to kill them JUST for being a cop and you’re no better calling them pigs. Nothing is solved keeping a closed mind. If you hate all cops sooo much, why not then become a cop yourself. Why not change the very thing you’re complaining about? If most cops are straight white males then we need to start getting other people in to understand the community better.

Trevor, that security guard wasn't shot by police a month and a half ago. That was 17 days ago. It only feels like a month and a half ago because of how much has happened since then.
It feels that long cause it went silent from the media quick just like when that lady went inside to guy apartment and killed him, as soon as her police district realized they couldn't cover for her she vanished from the media's eye and was fired. They like to hide when they're wrong
T guest Exactly! That wrong apartment shooting ghosted from the media and headlines so quickly!!! I, for one, would like an update. Media only talks about Trump and his shenanigans 🙄 So what?!? Even if somehow he got impeached that doesn’t mean he stops being president. So let’s talk about cops and their murdering ways.
Imagine cops telling you to drop your weapon and instead of complying you keep screaming at them. Also, every single shooter that police “talked down” was literally a guy that surrendered. Every time. This guy is literally a clown. He consistently twists the stories and makes assumptions. Always. He rarely ever talks the whole story exactly how it is. I know PLENTY of armed black men who exercise their 2nd amendment right. Most of my town is armed black men who legally own firearms and regularly use their firearms to stop crimes. My county ain’t very clean. But the 2nd amendment is meant for all American citizens. Everyone. As long as you haven’t committed a violent crime or a federal offense. You’re allowed to own a gun and defend yourself and others. Quit spreading false propaganda. Every once in a blue moon, a black guy gets shot and everyone tries to twist it to make it seem like they shot him without reason. The cop who got shot in the back got shot because the guy they were shooting at was in front of them and the black cop moved into the line of fire. There’s bodycam of that. Like come on just tell the truth and quit trying to twist it for political gain. Jesus. You have the worst habit of falsifying information that I’ve ever even in my life. Aside from CNN. America is not racist. It has a few racist people but the nation itself is not racist. America does not discriminate against black people. More white people are killed by police every year than black people. More white people are killed by black cops every year than black people killed by white cops. But you don’t see white people protesting police brutality do you? No. Why? Because white people know why they get shot. They get shot for not complying, for assaulting officers, and all the same reasons why blacks people get shot by cops. Quit trying to encourage a race war in America when there’s no reason for one. Like holy Christ you’re pathetic if you actually have to spread lies about racism in America just for views. And anyone who comments to me, just know that I made sure to research everything before writing this comment because I didn’t want to get anything wrong. So if you don’t like what I typed, then don’t reply. I don’t care to read your negative comments because you personally believe I’m wrong.
@@rescue08jrgaming91 I say its flawed due to the reason being it could lead to confusion for police officers.

I did not make this about race but I will not lie, yes this video is comprised of it.
InYoFace 05 It’s not flawed at all. No officer is going to shoot you if you just comply. They told him to drop his weapon several times. If he’s not the shooter then he has nothing to worry about. He killed himself bu refusing to drop his weapon. It doesn’t matter if your daddy’s a cop.

Who gave the truth a thumbs down? You really have to be heartless if you don't feel any compassion, for this family, his father is a police officer! Grow up America!
IKR? even black cops are disrespected and imo, are at risk of being shot by other officers. Dads a cop, son joins military, no criminal history, tryna help ppl, be a good guy with a gun like gops run their mouths about everytime any mass shooting happens. guy signs up to serve and like my friend, who happens to also be jewish and a lib and very sensible says this, ' these ppl are attacking emantic jr for not meeting their 'patriotic vet' standards, he signed up to SERVE and by fate was injured in training and had a general discharge not a dishonorable one AND if you are not a vet and never signed up with every intention to serve and risk your life, STFU! who are you to talk?'

Second time in 2 months. Security guard at club had guy on ground at gun point, cops showed up shot security guard. Black guy. Only difference is it happened in a black club, so no news coverage.
Have you seen any of the footage of the incident if not kindly stfu dude had zero reason to have a weapon and no uniform on and was screaming that he was gonna blow the guys brains out zero reason to need a gun to be a bouncer in the first place which is all he was
@@ziegfeld4131 unfortunately, gun ownership is so rampant in the USA that there IS a reason for bouncers and door men to carry guns in my country. personally i'd prefer it if even cops used tasers first, but that's not the country i live in. we LOVE our guns, and we like to shoot each other. it's much simpler than solving problems. or even addressing problems. or even thinking at all. Let's face it, the US isn't exactly founded on principles of responsibility, is it? (i'm not a big fan of aggressive force, nor of trash talking or threats, but in a lot of places it behooves bouncers to be armed). i think you're talking about Roberson. the police really haven't said anything about the incident except that they did everything right, which seems more than suspicious to me. and at least one claim, that he wasn't wearing anything that identified him as security, has been reported to be refuted by witnesses on scene.
@@ziegfeld4131 - If that's your impression of what went down, it's obvious you haven't seen any footage, either. We have testimony of bystanders and witnesses, who say they were yelling at the cops, "He's security! Stop! He's security!" The policeman who shot him came barrelling out the back door and shot immediately on seeing him, without hearing or seeing anything else.

Preach on brother. dnt how many times i contemplated buying a gun and come up with the same conclusion that i might just end up getting killed with it or for it. so i just keep my faith in God to guide and protect me. Its Been working for 35yrs, thank u lord.
Imagine cops telling you to drop your weapon and instead of complying you keep screaming at them. Also, every single shooter that police “talked down” was literally a guy that surrendered. Every time. This guy is literally a clown. He consistently twists the stories and makes assumptions. Always. He rarely ever talks the whole story exactly how it is. I know PLENTY of armed black men who exercise their 2nd amendment right. Most of my town is armed black men who legally own firearms and regularly use their firearms to stop crimes. My county ain’t very clean. But the 2nd amendment is meant for all American citizens. Everyone. As long as you haven’t committed a violent crime or a federal offense. You’re allowed to own a gun and defend yourself and others. Quit spreading false propaganda. Every once in a blue moon, a black guy gets shot and everyone tries to twist it to make it seem like they shot him without reason. The cop who got shot in the back got shot because the guy they were shooting at was in front of them and the black cop moved into the line of fire. There’s bodycam of that. Like come on just tell the truth and quit trying to twist it for political gain. Jesus. You have the worst habit of falsifying information that I’ve ever even in my life. Aside from CNN. America is not racist. It has a few racist people but the nation itself is not racist. America does not discriminate against black people. More white people are killed by police every year than black people. More white people are killed by black cops every year than black people killed by white cops. But you don’t see white people protesting police brutality do you? No. Why? Because white people know why they get shot. They get shot for not complying, for assaulting officers, and all the same reasons why blacks people get shot by cops. Quit trying to encourage a race war in America when there’s no reason for one. Like holy Christ you’re pathetic if you actually have to spread lies about racism in America just for views. And anyone who comments to me, just know that I made sure to research everything before writing this comment because I didn’t want to get anything wrong. So if you don’t like what I typed, then don’t reply. I don’t care to read your negative comments because you personally believe I’m wrong.
This is really frustrating because responding to an active shooter call you get tunnel vision big time, while all the civilians were running away from the shooter, these cops were running towards the shooter. Risking their lives to take him down. They shot Emantic Bradford Jr. because he was holding a firearm, NOT because of his race. Nobody wants to die, even police officers.
@@paolohill6414 This is frustrating because it's like you didn't even listen to the video. You know why civilians are running? Because they weren't TRAINED to handle lethal, deadly or violent situations. Police officers should be trained for these kinds of situations and also have more resources available to them to handle the incident. What have you to say about what people that have already killed mobs of people that get talked out of the violence yet all black people are shot first and ask later? It speaks volumes honestly. I'm white and it disgusts me how my fellow white Americans treat other people based on their race and then are completely ignorant to their racism, or they boast about it.
@@commenterperson4481 Original Comment was more accurate. Seeing as how that, 'another good guy' was a cop. And we can all agree that not all cops are good cops. Point of reference, this incident, the Florida incident with the autistic child and his provider, Philando Castile's, etc.
@@B.L.A.C.K.1. My point wasn't clear --> good guy, bad guy, it doesn't matter. That is, the solution is not to suggest using guns to "protect" against guns. So, explicitly, yes, I agree with Plat.
colaboytje, don’t apologize for them. This is about honesty and accountability from authority. If police want to be paranoid racist dickheads with guns, they need to be honest, and need to be prepared for the consequences of their actions. And there needs to be actual consequences, not just a couple of months of paid leave and a “don’t do it again”.
@@alexandercanella4479 Source Charlotte Observer " Earlier in the day, Roof had bought water and chips at a south Charlotte gas station. Now he was hungry. Police bought him food from a nearby Burger King, Ledford said."

@Elmos Mundos I am not going to be the one to say "don't do it." But I am acquainted with a large number of cops, in Illinois and Michigan. A brother, cousins and friends. Those that deal with or dealt with a lot of white cops, are the most miserable in their jobs, if they have not quit. The "boys club" is not for people of color, in their eyes.
Donovan Hall I can already tell explaining anything to you how wrong you are due to your subjective name calling. The man literally told the world why. If you believe he seeks attention, I’m convinced you are one-dimensional.
Jayla Milton me too and I feel bham is just letting this fall by the wayside. No major protest and nothing has changed . Alabama is full of old money and that’s why we rank in the lowest stats for growth and good living but high in crime cause thats what the system wants . 900 million for 3 super max prison but we can’t fund the schools and teachers
Last month the cops killed my friend, he was unarmed only 18 years old and he was only about 130lbs , the cop said he felt "threatened" after he pulled him over so he shot him twice in the heart, aren't they supposed to be"trained" how was he "threatened" by a little kid with no weapons? this is what happens when it takes you at least 1 year to be a barber but only 6 months to be a cop
*SIX MONTHS?* Over here the *selection* procedure takes from 4 to 10 *months* ,and then you have to start training which will take an *entire year.* Basic training will amount to 1314 *theoretical* hours followed by 328 hours in practical tests. And then you are in probation as an officer for *5 years.* Every move will be watched and judged. ps This is belgian protocol by the way, i'm not american.
@@nielsmichiels1939 sure.... watched and judged by other shitty cops. I can only imagine how do doing something (that would normally get you fired) in front of other corrupt cops, gets you a pat on the back instead.
So sad....first of all he should not shoot at a 18 year old kid ...and even if he was feeling threatened he was supposed to shoot at a place where it could be not lethal like in leg or somewhere else....
And the worst inconvenience cops doing this usually have to endure is some paid time off. If there is a lawsuit over it, the taxpayers, not the cops, and certainly not those culpable, do not. So there is no incentive for this to stop.
This was the worse case scenario. A good man who served the country and tried to help ppl got killed and the bad guy got away. Get that "police are imperfect" bullshit out of here.
@Michael Thomas you really aren't trying to understand the issue here. Like Trevor said in the video, when you have mass shootings by a white person, the cops won't always shoot them and instead try to talk to them. But when it's a black guy, even if he's ON HIS OWN PROPERTY cops will assume something and shoot him and kill him. They won't bother talking to him.
Why was the mall not locked down, everyone herded out in an orderly fashion, and everyone's gun submitted for ballistic analysis? There could have been multiple shooters.
@M L Probably not. I am not a gangster or thug, but I am not willing to lose my life due to an "imperfect" system. I stay out of trouble anyway and if someone wants to break into my home they will probably leave with a cracked skull anyway.
Those who push the "good guy with a gun" narrative as a defense against mass shootings are going to have to contend with two things: One, that cops consider a gun an elevated level of threat and make it harder to identify the actual shooter when everyone is armed. It's frankly a miracle people weren't shooting each other in a panic. And two, that even the presence of a gun is measured as an entirely different level of threat depending on who is holding it. Emantic Bradford wasn't even the only person at the mall with a gun out but he was the only one considered to present an "elevated level of threat" for which he was immediately shot. No command to put the weapon down according to witnesses, just shot. Police were happy to announce he was the shooter before even checking his unfired gun. Then tried to leave room to imply he was a secondary shooter or an accomplice when the pressure was on. Just a month ago Jemel Roberson, a security guard, had a shooter restrained in a Chicago bar. He was wearing his work clothes which included a hat with the word SECURITY printed on it. Patrons at the bar tried to tell the police not to shoot, that he had saved their lives, that the man he was restraining was the real danger. He died in a hail of bullets and posthumous excuses. So which is it? Having a gun saves lives? Having a gun makes you a threat and obligates police to go weapons free? Or is it time to admit that black people in America only have the same rights on paper? (Edit: Not to imply my country of Canada is really that much better, especially as we seem to be experiencing an uptick in BS right now. But I do like to think we at least try to walk our talk and unite rather than actively turn our countrymen against eachother when it boils over to a point we can't ignore.) Like Trevor said there's no talking down, not with black men. In the aftermath people will actually try to say police have an obligation to shoot immediately, that it's not worth the risk to their lives to even properly assess the situation if they feel threatened in the slightest. And yet who does get talked down? Dylann Roof, who killed 9 in a church. Gregory Bush who tried to do the same, only to decide to shoot up a grocery store when he found the church doors locked. Robert Bowers who killed 11 people in a synagogue and fired on police, wounding an officer. The Hammonds and Bundys who set devastating wildfires, assaulted police, occupied government facilities, had an armed standoff, and called for open insurrection and war. These people were not treated as a threat to be dispatched with extreme prejudice even with guns trained on police. They were treated with dignity, their lives mattered, shooting was a last resort if it was even on the table at all. With that last example especially the fact they broke the law in numerous ways didn't even factor into how people reacted, they supported their supposed "rights" and actually shamed police for the standoff and made it clear that if the police were to shoot anyone that there'd be hell to pay. A very sharp contrast to how any situation involving a black man is handled and critiqued, even in a case where a man was shot for trying to show his autistic charge how to comply with police commands to try and save his life. Lying on his back with his hands in the air, people actually justified the police shooting him. It's just sickening.
diva doll thank you for making this point! Regan, as then gov. of Cali, decided to impose gun restrictions. Regan! Because white people were scared of the Panthers open carrying. Have you ever seen black second amendment supporters open carrying these days? Like the guys in Texas, who were protesting or something, open carrying f-ing AR-15s n sh*t. No, because a black man would be shot. Doubt the police even hassled those white guys, prolly didn't ask for permits or anything. You can bet that wouldn't be the case if they weren't white. But a bunch of black second amendment supporters open carrying would be an awesome visual, if it weren't so dangerous for them, and that's coming from someone who hates guns.
@@dee31415 I agree. I tell young people all the time to talk to their parents, and, especially, grandparents, if they want to know about the events during their lifetime, like the civil rights movement. Back when the Panthers and Black Nationalists were walking around, they were called everything negative. But, we can have a POTUS claim to be a white Nationalist, and they call it putting America first. Kind of like they made the athletes that took a knee out to be un American, unpatriotic, and disrespectful. The young people now had better be making a record of current events to tell it to their young.
Jon Doe it's like voting. Restrictive laws were only ever put in place to stop black people, and women, from voting. It's all so blatantly racist but they still come up with excuses to justify it. And it's just enough for most white people to glaze over it. Not stop and take a closer look and realize it's f-ed. And because it doesn't affect them they ignore it. That's white privilege right there. Ignoring the fact that so many things are set up to give black people the sh*t end of the stick. The criminal justice system and sentencing laws- mandatory minimums, 100x increased penalization for crack ('black drug') vs powdered coke ('white drug') (this huge discrepancy was recently reduced but not eliminated), the entire war on drugs(/black people), even what's considered a felony some places (Florida- if you steal $300 worth of goods, felony), cash bail (when most Americans don't have $500 in the bank set aside for emergency), inadequate public defender representation, privately owned prisons influencing law makers, over policing in black communities to keep the whole machine running on the backs of black men at their expense and the expense of their community. N there's plenty more of that type of sh*t. Red-lining in black neighborhoods that prevented home loans from being given out. While real estate is the number 1 was to accrue intergenerational wealth. How we fund public schools, gentrification and white flight (which I admittedly know little about and its effects). Most white people don't have to deal with it. They don't see it. Idk why they're resistant to believe the game is rigged. Maybe guilt, or ignorance, or faith. Faith that you can trust things to be right and fair in this country because we believe we are a moral and good country and people. But all of that is white privilege, you don't have to see it or deal with it, so you don't care enough to do anything. Even just believing people who are dealing with it first-hand, whose POV you could never fully empathize with. Where the only way you can try to understand, really understand, is to listen and learn.
And for the constitutional rights I mean now in the past yes but now the issue is for immigrants and I forgot journalists. Again most of the racist problems are at state and local levels because those are the ones who try to get conviction rates up and have to deal with the crime statistics directly.
In a Kentucky Kroger grocery, about a month ago. Guy walks in the isle of the store shoots a black guy in the head, does the same to a woman in the parking lot. Kills them both. Then gets in a shoot out with a customer. Police arrived, they talked him down. He’s in jail awaiting his next court date

The mass shooters at schools who don't off themselves like klebold and harris, and cops don't leave a scratch on em? Where's their anger and lack of restraint when dealing with those psychos? pipe bombers who police calmly took in? Serial killers, most of whom are white? They get handled with kid gloves.

There's a charming vid of a group of officers playing games with a totally innocent guy. caller said this only, 'i saw a suspicious person outside'.

They yell STOP MOVING While this is taking place another officer kicks dude in the head repeatedly. A torture party. In MN! They would not do this to a white man, or very unlikely. - daniel shavers execution is pretty damn disturbing but he at least had been drinking and had a bb gun out at some point. cop with 'you're fucked' engraved on his gun and prior excessive force issues plays a sick game of screaming 'simon says' with dude, makes the pleading, begging, sobbing man CRAWL! then shoots him 5x. it was BRUTAL and that policeman shows his psychotic ways in copcam vid. Psychotic mfs. No jail time for the pigs who used the canine to torture black dude. guy gets 3 mil and has permanent damage and mutiple surgeries had to be done. Literally half his entire lower leg is hollowed out. Find it, this type of shit is found on video constantly. FYI, ALL you have to do is look up kroger killing vid, or cops sic canine on innocent black in mn, or daniel shaver execution. Too hard for you?
I was working at a restaurant five minutes away when that happened and remembered everyone being relieved when we heard the shooter was dead because he could’ve ran into a nearby establishment, but then it turns out they shot the wrong guy and we were all so angry because like???? How could you just shoot an innocent person?? Because they really did just shoot first and ask questions later and it’s so sad and disappointing that that’s how things are
So well said. Thank you, as ALWAYS. And please, if you get a chance to center Jemel Roberson, please do. There was SO much going on at the time, his story wasn’t properly centered in the media. Please check deeply into it. He stopped a mass shooting; who knows how many lives he saved.. Four people were shot. He saved the life of the killer...was holding the shooter at gun point...and was immediately shot when police rolled up. It makes me think of the timing of Tamir Rice’s killers. He acted in rare valor. Quick thinking, skill and luck (always a component) was on his side. And then he was executed by responding police...no question...because of his skin color. I don’t mean to say that there is a contest in tragic and outrageous murder. It’s just NOT. And, I have to say that I am just deeply heart broken that Jemel Roberson’s murder went by the wayside, in the media, because of the news cycle. His family needs national support. And folks have already forgotten...or (more likely) didn’t hear about it. We need to uplift his name and story. You have that extraordinary power. And use it SO well, everyday. Thank you, again, for that. Please look more deeply into it, if you can. Much love and gratefulness for the work you do. It it a critical component to giving me levity, re-centering, grounding...I deeply need to be able to show up.
Rhythmicons they do. They take it incredibly seriously. To the point of targeted repression of Sunday early voting to closing polling stations in areas voting may go against them. The are precision level serious. Just for the wrong reasons. To restrict rights not allow them to flourish.
Whats ignorant is saying cops only shoot un armed black people. More like mass hysteria actually. There's a ton of videos showing police shooting unarmed white and Latino dudes also... When you say its a problem between black people and the police instead of its a problem of police and people... Your taking attention away from the actual problem.
John John smdh you are missing the point. So quick to come back and really not opening your eyes. Yep police have shot All races but have shot more unarmed blacks than any other race. If we dont fight for our people than no one will. Dont you feel sorry that an innocent life was taken. No matter the color. Pray for the family I'm done just open your eyes and do research and maybe you see why we so angry. No not saying all poilce are bad before you go there, not saying no other race matters, yes everyone does matter.
The moment you stop feeling sorry for yourselves is the same moment you gain some respect life isn't fair, keep trucking everyone has problems. EVERYONE!.
The worst part of that whole story Trevor didn't get to tell was the police never called the family of this boy to tell them what happened. They had to find out their son/brother was dead from FB. For god sake if you accidentally murdered someone the LEAST you could do as a cop is have someone from the department tell the family what happened and give condolences.

In Finland our cops have strict orders not to shoot unless seriously threatened for life, and even then the aim is not to kill. If a cop shoots someone they always face a court process where the necessity of said force is evaluated. Generally this system works well - I don’t remember a single case where a police officer would have shot an innocent person. That said, I only remember a handful of cases where they’ve had to shoot at all. I guess because were a “socialist country” our bad guys aren’t that bad...? Or then it’s just that our legislation regarding both law enforcement and gun ownership does amount to something. And for those of you who don’t know: gun ownership is perfectly legal here but under strict laws and for instance concealed weapons aren’t allowed in public.
i believe our officers are taught the same as our military: Shoot center mass. it's a bad policy for civilian engagement. it occurred to me today that there really is no judicial system in place to evaluate officer killings of suspects in my country. i'm almost positive the police evaluate themselves (though i easily could be wrong). our court system wouldn't try a dead person, and that is the only legitimate way of determining guilt. it's so weird that this hasn't come up before. why do dead people in America not get their day in court? obviously a dead person can't actively defend themselves or make basic decisions regarding their defense, like plead innocent or guilty. but it's amazing that our system isn't built to acknowledge this crucially important question. how is this a thing? if an officer kills someone... What, they're just automatically guilty, without a trial!? that's insanity!
i'm just thinking off of the top of my head. i'm definitely not a lawyer or police officer.
Sounds like your country is full of people with common sense. I wish I could move there. I'm sick of all the drama here in the US.

@D T I hope you were being sarcastic because the US is one of the top ten First World countries.
My Country has many Years where our Police uses less Ammunition than US-Police in one single incident. If they shoot, its into Air or to stop people (arms, legs) not to kill them.
Just some ideas: Education to be Police Officer = 3 years (not a few Months at max like in the US), no Military equipment for normal Police, Special Force like SWAT only for dangerous Situations (some time ago i read in a Newsarticle, that SWAT is used to execute simple arrest warrants), ...oh right.....dont give any idiot a Weapon....then your Police dont have to fear the Citizens.

Zer0 Moore it more about having accountability; cops can kill and send someone to jail; they don’t pay a penny it’s the city.... if you make them responsible and affect their pockets they will not mess up..... as a soldier if I shoot someone I am personally responsable; if it’s found that I killed outside of the rules of engagement I would go to jail, Uncle Sam doesn’t pay for that.

It doesn't matter what they have to say. They're not the ones living in fear ever day due to the prejudice and discrimination attached to the color of their skin. They are not living in fear everyday for heir family and friends-- who can be taken away from them just be being black. They are one-sided. Their mission isn't to spread awareness but rather propaganda which limits people from thinking outside this indoctrinated system. They don't care at all. Why should we take an interest in what they have to say if they can't accept the fact that this is the truth--black people in America don't matter and no matter what position we're in we can't escape or be seen past our blackness. We should strive to learn, educate, and question the very system that had created a troubling reality that some have to live with--either by acknowledging the privilege that white people have AND working tirelessly to use that privilege to bring awareness to the voices and stories of mariginalized people...especially black people. Now that's how we make steps towards shutting up these propaganda pushing networks that want nothing more than to make a quick buck off Other's pain. I'm sorry but I don't care what they have to say. I care more about what we as Americans-- more importantly humans--are going to do. Period. Miss me with that.

Also there’s an uncomfortable amount of officers that have either a record of abuse power or a low IQ, but they can pass all the physical requirements
How can US police unions get to write their sector's labour laws in a country where every other trade union is treated like criminals.
How is the media and everybody making insane speculations when the facts have yet to be provided. Do you know with any certainty that the officer did not give commands to EJ, which he could have refused thinking he was above the law because he was in the military or believing he did not need to be relieved of his gun because he was innocent and had a permit.

Happened to Philando Castillo. Law abiding gun owner. Gets shot dead by just telling the officer he has a permit for a gun he has on him.
That is one shooting where I think it wasn't justified a majority of black people shot by police are justified though. It's ignorant to say that all are guilty but equally to say everyone is innocent

Before any talk of gun rights or accusations of institutional racism, can we all agree that it's messed up that police officers rarely receive punishment for committing manslaughter? When the man on the street kills someone by accident, they can get sent to prison for two years or more, but when an officer of the law does it, it gets brushed aside because it's "part of the job". It's no surprise that officers can be reckless with the use of lethal force when they themselves never suffer the consequences.
Colin Forbes obviously we don’t know what will happen to this officer though to your point about officers not answering for mistakes the same way civilians do, that’s deliberate. I don’t know a single state or county or municipality that doesn’t indemnify their officers. No one would do the job if they were on the same scale as civilians. By going through whatever academy they graduate from the state then assumes liability. Governments at every level do actually try and get out from under protecting any officer and plenty are put on trial. They’re juried trials so really it comes down to twelve people one of whom, at least, doesn’t want to convict a cop.
@@charleshetrick3152 When police officers fail to protect their charges yet go unpunished by their superiors, people can't help but think of them as the paid enforcers of an abusive state.
Utopia doesn't exist, I know, and while the police can still be a pain in the ass where I come from, they don't kill someone under questionable circumstances and get away with it as often as they seem to in the U.S.
They should be able to sue the Government/Justice system for it, if this person was a family man/provider imagine the impact it'd have on the family that the breadwinner is killed and there's no compensation for it?
"before any talks of institutional racism"- dude, in this case its directly related to the action itself, so why would you need to shush talks about it by going on a macro level (not to say it becomes untrue)?
Or by purposely mentioning a real totally unrelated issue (since the shooter was a cop) along with it?
Curious to know who else had guns drawn and were they people of color? Why could the nurse on site not aid this man? Why did the cops fail to call the family? A vet and a person trying to do the right thing in this situation. Business as usual. Institutional racism is not fiction from a comic book.

He was wrong to say Black American citizens should not legally carry guns. We have just as much a right to bare arms as any other american.

What I want to know is why they always shoot to kill. Trevor is so spot on. The 2nd amendment doesn't apply to black folks, and that is a horrifying reality. And what horrified me even more is the lack of accountability for these murderers.
It's not logical to shoot to wound.
Hand guns are not that powerful. Most people don't realize this because everything you see would lead you to think they are death rays. Especially if you're a 110 lb woman defending yourself from a 200+ lb man, you want to shoot for center mass to disrupt vita functions so he stop immediately. You're also not going to take the time to try and aim just to wound someone. You will have to defend that in court and they can(and have) tried and paint it as "malicious intent" even in a self defense case. If you have time to aim just to wound someone the logic is you had time to get away. It's just not practical in the few seconds a lethal force encounter lasts.
When you have an adrenaline dump, you have a loss of gross motor function. So the stress of being in a situation where you have to deploy force on that level is such that trying to hit a limb becomes much more difficult. Wounding someone won't necessarily end the threat.
Isn't police training meant to keep you level headed in an intense situation?
They only shoot to kill when he's black. White men get talked down
"The shooting in Aurora"
The fact I thought he was talking about Aurora, Illinois is so upsetting. There have been two Aurora shootings where multiple people were slaughtered. I have to ask, which Aurora and that's unacceptable. When will enough be enough.
He mentioned the movie so he was talking about Colorado. You’re right though, he probably had to explain the movie part because of it.
Not even joking, the other day I was talking to my friend and he started talking about a shooting. I was like, “which one?” Which is really sad that I have to even ask that.

Cops ARE having to be more careful since there’s people going out to kill them JUST for being a cop and you’re no better calling them pigs. Nothing is solved keeping a closed mind. If you hate all cops sooo much, why not then become a cop yourself. Why not change the very thing you’re complaining about?

It was never trying to hide.
Trevor, that security guard wasn't shot by police a month and a half ago. That was 17 days ago.
It only feels like a month and a half ago because of how much has happened since then.
It feels that long cause it went silent from the media quick just like when that lady went inside to guy apartment and killed him, as soon as her police district realized they couldn't cover for her she vanished from the media's eye and was fired. They like to hide when they're wrong
T guest Exactly! That wrong apartment shooting ghosted from the media and headlines so quickly!!! I, for one, would like an update. Media only talks about Trump and his shenanigans 🙄 So what?!? Even if somehow he got impeached that doesn’t mean he stops being president. So let’s talk about cops and their murdering ways.

And this is how the "Good guy with a gun" arguement is flawed
Nope. It’s not flawed. Here I’ll copy and paste my comment into this.
Imagine cops telling you to drop your weapon and instead of complying you keep screaming at them. Also, every single shooter that police “talked down” was literally a guy that surrendered. Every time. This guy is literally a clown. He consistently twists the stories and makes assumptions. Always. He rarely ever talks the whole story exactly how it is. I know PLENTY of armed black men who exercise their 2nd amendment right. Most of my town is armed black men who legally own firearms and regularly use their firearms to stop crimes. My county ain’t very clean. But the 2nd amendment is meant for all American citizens. Everyone. As long as you haven’t committed a violent crime or a federal offense. You’re allowed to own a gun and defend yourself and others. Quit spreading false propaganda. Every once in a blue moon, a black guy gets shot and everyone tries to twist it to make it seem like they shot him without reason. The cop who got shot in the back got shot because the guy they were shooting at was in front of them and the black cop moved into the line of fire. There’s bodycam of that. Like come on just tell the truth and quit trying to twist it for political gain. Jesus. You have the worst habit of falsifying information that I’ve ever even in my life. Aside from CNN. America is not racist. It has a few racist people but the nation itself is not racist. America does not discriminate against black people. More white people are killed by police every year than black people. More white people are killed by black cops every year than black people killed by white cops. But you don’t see white people protesting police brutality do you? No. Why? Because white people know why they get shot. They get shot for not complying, for assaulting officers, and all the same reasons why blacks people get shot by cops. Quit trying to encourage a race war in America when there’s no reason for one. Like holy Christ you’re pathetic if you actually have to spread lies about racism in America just for views. And anyone who comments to me, just know that I made sure to research everything before writing this comment because I didn’t want to get anything wrong. So if you don’t like what I typed, then don’t reply. I don’t care to read your negative comments because you personally believe I’m wrong.
@@rescue08jrgaming91 I say its flawed due to the reason being it could lead to confusion for police officers. Police in the heat of the moment, have to decide which person is the active shooter or if both are shooters. This leads to situations like this where the "good guy with the gun" being mistaken as the "bad guy with gun" and being killed. I did not make this about race but I will not lie, yes this video is comprised of it.
InYoFace 05 It’s not flawed at all. No officer is going to shoot you if you just comply. They told him to drop his weapon several times. If he’s not the shooter then he has nothing to worry about. He killed himself bu refusing to drop his weapon. It doesn’t matter if your daddy’s a cop.
@@rescue08jrgaming91 well hello again. Its currently 1230 am where I'm at so I'm pretty tired at the moment. But I shall retort now and hopefully I get an another reply in the morning. (Actually I hope not cause I'm tired)
The police said the officer in the area believed that Bradford was suspect during the shooting.... I mean why are we still having this conversation? They themselves admitted that the officer *_in that moment_* believed that Bradford was the *_Suspect._* why is that difficult to understand!?
I get that you want praise open carry laws. But this guy is dead cause of invoking that right. Now I understand that this isn't the norm and that this may be an exception. But there should be no reason for you to argue against the guy trying to be the "good guy with gun"; when he should a prime example on what the risk is that come with being that choice.
Thank you Trevor. This is a difficult subject that is clearly being ignored. The whole situation leaves me stricken with grief.

Who gave the truth a thumbs down? You really have to be heartless if you don't feel any compassion, for this family, his father is a police officer! Grow up America!
People who don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that black people are shot?
The slaver’s mentality has not died. It’s thriving instead.
IKR? even black cops are disrespected and imo, are at risk of being shot by other officers. Dads a cop, son joins military, no criminal history, tryna help ppl, be a good guy with a gun like gops run their mouths about everytime any mass shooting happens. guy signs up to serve and like my friend, who happens to also be jewish and a lib and very sensible says this, ' these ppl are attacking emantic jr for not meeting their 'patriotic vet' standards, he signed up to SERVE and by fate was injured in training and had a general discharge not a dishonorable one AND if you are not a vet and never signed up with every intention to serve and risk your life, STFU! who are you to talk?'
Lavrentivs you mean DERANGED RACISTS, those aren't ppl.

Second time in 2 months. Security guard at club had guy on ground at gun point, cops showed up shot security guard. Black guy. Only difference is it happened in a black club, so no news coverage.
I am aware that there was a lot of news coverage. But then Trump did something stupid, and the focus moved on.
Have you seen any of the footage of the incident if not kindly stfu dude had zero reason to have a weapon and no uniform on and was screaming that he was gonna blow the guys brains out zero reason to need a gun to be a bouncer in the first place which is all he was
He had on a jacket that said security and he was a license gun owner in a concealed carry state.
@@ziegfeld4131 unfortunately, gun ownership is so rampant in the USA that there IS a reason for bouncers and door men to carry guns in my country. personally i'd prefer it if even cops used tasers first, but that's not the country i live in. we LOVE our guns, and we like to shoot each other. it's much simpler than solving problems. or even addressing problems. or even thinking at all. Let's face it, the US isn't exactly founded on principles of responsibility, is it? (i'm not a big fan of aggressive force, nor of trash talking or threats, but in a lot of places it behooves bouncers to be armed).
i think you're talking about Roberson. the police really haven't said anything about the incident except that they did everything right, which seems more than suspicious to me. and at least one claim, that he wasn't wearing anything that identified him as security, has been reported to be refuted by witnesses on scene.
@@ziegfeld4131 - If that's your impression of what went down, it's obvious you haven't seen any footage, either. We have testimony of bystanders and witnesses, who say they were yelling at the cops, "He's security! Stop! He's security!" The policeman who shot him came barrelling out the back door and shot immediately on seeing him, without hearing or seeing anything else.

This is really frustrating because responding to an active shooter call you get tunnel vision big time, while all the civilians were running away from the shooter, these cops were running towards the shooter. Risking their lives to take him down. They shot Emantic Bradford Jr. because he was holding a firearm, NOT because of his race. Nobody wants to die, even police officers.
@@paolohill6414 This is frustrating because it's like you didn't even listen to the video. You know why civilians are running? Because they weren't TRAINED to handle lethal, deadly or violent situations. Police officers should be trained for these kinds of situations and also have more resources available to them to handle the incident. What have you to say about what people that have already killed mobs of people that get talked out of the violence yet all black people are shot first and ask later? It speaks volumes honestly. I'm white and it disgusts me how my fellow white Americans treat other people based on their race and then are completely ignorant to their racism, or they boast about it.

The same way I feel about a black man serving in the military.
I dont care who wants to feel some kinda way about my statement.
Last month the cops killed my friend, he was unarmed only 18 years old and he was only about 130lbs , the cop said he felt "threatened" after he pulled him over so he shot him twice in the heart, aren't they supposed to be"trained" how was he "threatened" by a little kid with no weapons? this is what happens when it takes you at least 1 year to be a barber but only 6 months to be a cop
Fact
*SIX MONTHS?*
Over here the *selection* procedure takes from 4 to 10 *months* ,and then you have to start training which will take an *entire year.*
Basic training will amount to 1314 *theoretical* hours followed by 328 hours in practical tests.
And then you are in probation as an officer for *5 years.*
Every move will be watched and judged.
ps
This is belgian protocol by the way, i'm not american.
@@nielsmichiels1939 sure.... watched and judged by other shitty cops. I can only imagine how do doing something (that would normally get you fired) in front of other corrupt cops, gets you a pat on the back instead.
So sad....first of all he should not shoot at a 18 year old kid ...and even if he was feeling threatened he was supposed to shoot at a place where it could be not lethal like in leg or somewhere else....
And the worst inconvenience cops doing this usually have to endure is some paid time off. If there is a lawsuit over it, the taxpayers, not the cops, and certainly not those culpable, do not. So there is no incentive for this to stop.

This was the worse case scenario. A good man who served the country and tried to help ppl got killed and the bad guy got away. Get that "police are imperfect" bullshit out of here.
@Michael Thomas you really aren't trying to understand the issue here. Like Trevor said in the video, when you have mass shootings by a white person, the cops won't always shoot them and instead try to talk to them. But when it's a black guy, even if he's ON HIS OWN PROPERTY cops will assume something and shoot him and kill him. They won't bother talking to him.
Why was the mall not locked down, everyone herded out in an orderly fashion, and everyone's gun submitted for ballistic analysis? There could have been multiple shooters.
@Michael Thomas you can't train away racism
@M L
Probably not. I am not a gangster or thug, but I am not willing to lose my life due to an "imperfect" system. I stay out of trouble anyway and if someone wants to break into my home they will probably leave with a cracked skull anyway.
I respect u for keeping it real trevor
Those who push the "good guy with a gun" narrative as a defense against mass shootings are going to have to contend with two things: One, that cops consider a gun an elevated level of threat and make it harder to identify the actual shooter when everyone is armed. It's frankly a miracle people weren't shooting each other in a panic. And two, that even the presence of a gun is measured as an entirely different level of threat depending on who is holding it. Emantic Bradford wasn't even the only person at the mall with a gun out but he was the only one considered to present an "elevated level of threat" for which he was immediately shot. No command to put the weapon down according to witnesses, just shot. Police were happy to announce he was the shooter before even checking his unfired gun. Then tried to leave room to imply he was a secondary shooter or an accomplice when the pressure was on. Just a month ago Jemel Roberson, a security guard, had a shooter restrained in a Chicago bar. He was wearing his work clothes which included a hat with the word SECURITY printed on it. Patrons at the bar tried to tell the police not to shoot, that he had saved their lives, that the man he was restraining was the real danger. He died in a hail of bullets and posthumous excuses.
So which is it? Having a gun saves lives? Having a gun makes you a threat and obligates police to go weapons free? Or is it time to admit that black people in America only have the same rights on paper? (Edit: Not to imply my country of Canada is really that much better, especially as we seem to be experiencing an uptick in BS right now. But I do like to think we at least try to walk our talk and unite rather than actively turn our countrymen against eachother when it boils over to a point we can't ignore.)
Like Trevor said there's no talking down, not with black men. In the aftermath people will actually try to say police have an obligation to shoot immediately, that it's not worth the risk to their lives to even properly assess the situation if they feel threatened in the slightest. And yet who does get talked down? Dylann Roof, who killed 9 in a church. Gregory Bush who tried to do the same, only to decide to shoot up a grocery store when he found the church doors locked. Robert Bowers who killed 11 people in a synagogue and fired on police, wounding an officer. The Hammonds and Bundys who set devastating wildfires, assaulted police, occupied government facilities, had an armed standoff, and called for open insurrection and war. These people were not treated as a threat to be dispatched with extreme prejudice even with guns trained on police. They were treated with dignity, their lives mattered, shooting was a last resort if it was even on the table at all. With that last example especially the fact they broke the law in numerous ways didn't even factor into how people reacted, they supported their supposed "rights" and actually shamed police for the standoff and made it clear that if the police were to shoot anyone that there'd be hell to pay. A very sharp contrast to how any situation involving a black man is handled and critiqued, even in a case where a man was shot for trying to show his autistic charge how to comply with police commands to try and save his life. Lying on his back with his hands in the air, people actually justified the police shooting him.
It's just sickening.
WELL SAID 👏👏👏💯
Trevor is right about the 2nd Amendment isn't for us. When the Panthers openly carried weapons and knew the law, the law was changed.
diva doll thank you for making this point! Regan, as then gov. of Cali, decided to impose gun restrictions. Regan! Because white people were scared of the Panthers open carrying. Have you ever seen black second amendment supporters open carrying these days? Like the guys in Texas, who were protesting or something, open carrying f-ing AR-15s n sh*t. No, because a black man would be shot. Doubt the police even hassled those white guys, prolly didn't ask for permits or anything. You can bet that wouldn't be the case if they weren't white. But a bunch of black second amendment supporters open carrying would be an awesome visual, if it weren't so dangerous for them, and that's coming from someone who hates guns.
Historically, there was no such thing as a gun laws until Black people had guns
@@dee31415 I agree. I tell young people all the time to talk to their parents, and, especially, grandparents, if they want to know about the events during their lifetime, like the civil rights movement. Back when the Panthers and Black Nationalists were walking around, they were called everything negative. But, we can have a POTUS claim to be a white Nationalist, and they call it putting America first. Kind of like they made the athletes that took a knee out to be un American, unpatriotic, and disrespectful. The young people now had better be making a record of current events to tell it to their young.
Jon Doe it's like voting. Restrictive laws were only ever put in place to stop black people, and women, from voting. It's all so blatantly racist but they still come up with excuses to justify it. And it's just enough for most white people to glaze over it. Not stop and take a closer look and realize it's f-ed. And because it doesn't affect them they ignore it. That's white privilege right there. Ignoring the fact that so many things are set up to give black people the sh*t end of the stick. The criminal justice system and sentencing laws- mandatory minimums, 100x increased penalization for crack ('black drug') vs powdered coke ('white drug') (this huge discrepancy was recently reduced but not eliminated), the entire war on drugs(/black people), even what's considered a felony some places (Florida- if you steal $300 worth of goods, felony), cash bail (when most Americans don't have $500 in the bank set aside for emergency), inadequate public defender representation, privately owned prisons influencing law makers, over policing in black communities to keep the whole machine running on the backs of black men at their expense and the expense of their community.
N there's plenty more of that type of sh*t. Red-lining in black neighborhoods that prevented home loans from being given out. While real estate is the number 1 was to accrue intergenerational wealth. How we fund public schools, gentrification and white flight (which I admittedly know little about and its effects).
Most white people don't have to deal with it. They don't see it. Idk why they're resistant to believe the game is rigged. Maybe guilt, or ignorance, or faith. Faith that you can trust things to be right and fair in this country because we believe we are a moral and good country and people. But all of that is white privilege, you don't have to see it or deal with it, so you don't care enough to do anything. Even just believing people who are dealing with it first-hand, whose POV you could never fully empathize with. Where the only way you can try to understand, really understand, is to listen and learn.
And for the constitutional rights I mean now in the past yes but now the issue is for immigrants and I forgot journalists. Again most of the racist problems are at state and local levels because those are the ones who try to get conviction rates up and have to deal with the crime statistics directly.
In a Kentucky Kroger grocery, about a month ago. Guy walks in the isle of the store shoots a black guy in the head, does the same to a woman in the parking lot. Kills them both. Then gets in a shoot out with a customer. Police arrived, they talked him down. He’s in jail awaiting his next court date

So sad.
OddLunatic it was all over the news and you are an idiot if you need a 'link'! look the story up online! You gonna ask for a 'link' for the cops taking the guy who shot up a black church to burger king? The mass shooters at schools who don't off themselves like klebold and harris, and cops don't leave a scratch on em? Where's their anger and lack of restraint when dealing with those psychos? pipe bombers who police calmly took in? Serial killers, most of whom are white? They get handled with kid gloves. Any idiot knows these things, yet you need a link.
OddLunatic you got your LINK and then there was silence. Btw, i'm a dinosaur and no shame saying, i don't bother with links. There's a charming vid of a group of officers playing games with a totally innocent guy. caller said this only, 'i saw a suspicious person outside'. They grabbed a black man ( all white cops, at least 4 of them) out of his car threw him to the ground, cuffed him, and sicced a canine on him while he's face down in cuffs and command dog to attack while they laugh and sneer saying 'good boy' as dog chews half the guys calf off and the guy's writhing around in agony cuz no ONE could lay still on the ground handcuffed while a dog mauls them. They yell STOP MOVING While this is taking place another officer kicks dude in the head repeatedly. A torture party. In MN! They would not do this to a white man, or very unlikely. - daniel shavers execution is pretty damn disturbing but he at least had been drinking and had a bb gun out at some point. cop with 'you're fucked' engraved on his gun and prior excessive force issues plays a sick game of screaming 'simon says' with dude, makes the pleading, begging, sobbing man CRAWL! then shoots him 5x. it was BRUTAL and that policeman shows his psychotic ways in copcam vid. Psychotic mfs. No jail time for the pigs who used the canine to torture black dude. guy gets 3 mil and has permanent damage and mutiple surgeries had to be done. Literally half his entire lower leg is hollowed out. Find it, this type of shit is found on video constantly. FYI, ALL you have to do is look up kroger killing vid, or cops sic canine on innocent black in mn, or daniel shaver execution. Too hard for you?
I was working at a restaurant five minutes away when that happened and remembered everyone being relieved when we heard the shooter was dead because he could’ve ran into a nearby establishment, but then it turns out they shot the wrong guy and we were all so angry because like???? How could you just shoot an innocent person?? Because they really did just shoot first and ask questions later and it’s so sad and disappointing that that’s how things are
So well said. Thank you, as ALWAYS. And please, if you get a chance to center Jemel Roberson, please do. There was SO much going on at the time, his story wasn’t properly centered in the media. Please check deeply into it. He stopped a mass shooting; who knows how many lives he saved.. Four people were shot. He saved the life of the killer...was holding the shooter at gun point...and was immediately shot when police rolled up. It makes me think of the timing of Tamir Rice’s killers. He acted in rare valor. Quick thinking, skill and luck (always a component) was on his side. And then he was executed by responding police...no question...because of his skin color. I don’t mean to say that there is a contest in tragic and outrageous murder. It’s just NOT. And, I have to say that I am just deeply heart broken that Jemel Roberson’s murder went by the wayside, in the media, because of the news cycle. His family needs national support. And folks have already forgotten...or (more likely) didn’t hear about it. We need to uplift his name and story. You have that extraordinary power. And use it SO well, everyday. Thank you, again, for that. Please look more deeply into it, if you can. Much love and gratefulness for the work you do. It it a critical component to giving me levity, re-centering, grounding...I deeply need to be able to show up.
I wish the GOP took voting rights as seriously as they take gun ownership.
Rhythmicons they do. They take it incredibly seriously. To the point of targeted repression of Sunday early voting to closing polling stations in areas voting may go against them. The are precision level serious. Just for the wrong reasons. To restrict rights not allow them to flourish.
They routinely argue that the Second Amendment preserves the rest, then they willfully abandon many of the rest. @@just1desi
They do it because they get away with it.
Yeah.... Sad world we live in.
He's not only a hilarious comedian Knows when be conscious serious.
Here we go again with the so called " mistake " smh
If it Was an accident then they should accidentally be charged with murder by accident
Trevor, your words are wise. Remember this is the U.S., land of the ignorant.
Whats ignorant is saying cops only shoot un armed black people. More like mass hysteria actually. There's a ton of videos showing police shooting unarmed white and Latino dudes also...
When you say its a problem between black people and the police instead of its a problem of police and people... Your taking attention away from the actual problem.
John John smdh you are missing the point. So quick to come back and really not opening your eyes. Yep police have shot All races but have shot more unarmed blacks than any other race. If we dont fight for our people than no one will. Dont you feel sorry that an innocent life was taken. No matter the color. Pray for the family I'm done just open your eyes and do research and maybe you see why we so angry. No not saying all poilce are bad before you go there, not saying no other race matters, yes everyone does matter.
Trevor is a dumb ass
Does he not realize that there are different police in different cities. There fore different judgment calls.
The moment you stop feeling sorry for yourselves is the same moment you gain some respect life isn't fair, keep trucking everyone has problems. EVERYONE!.
THIS IS REAL TALK...MUCH RESPECT TO THIS MAN.
Sincerely from my heart to yours tyvm for this very needed awareness...
