Mario Woods’ last moments: ‘You better squeeze that ... and kill me’ - SFGateMore officers arrived, some of them armed with weapons that fire nonlethal beanbags filled with lead shot.The first beanbag round, shot from a 12-gauge weapon, “had no effect,” August’s partner wrote. Police then hit Woods with two more rounds, including one that struck his leg, causing the limp that Woods displayed in the videos of the police confrontation. Still, Woods wouldn’t drop the knife.
When a fourth beanbag was fired using a more powerful 40mm gun, the officer said, “The subject appeared to be stunned and crouched to one knee but still refused to drop his knife. ... (He) quickly regained his balance and stood back up.”
At that point, another officer tried to subdue Woods using pepper spray. He didn’t appear to react, the police accounts say.
Is that what Kaepernick is protesting? That shooting?
The Woods shooting is just one more reason that I think SJW's need to be put in cars with cops. When they get a call involving someone creating a disturbance the SJW needs to be the one who contacts the suspect. If they get killed then and only then should the cops be allowed to respond.

In that situation how much you want to bet that the SJW approaches the black criminal differently than the white one? Suddenly all those statistic that show blacks are much more likely to attack than a white guy are no longer "racist", but reality.
I don't know that race makes a difference but it's become obvious that, according to many, many people, the cops are incapable of handling these situations in a disciplined and compassionate manner. If that's the case then I suggest those who are disciplined and are compassionate be the first responders. Seems to me that would be a win for everyone. The suspects in these incidents would be given the full benefit of the doubt and their rights would be protected plus we'd be able to put a lot of unemployed folks to work. There is no better place for community oversight of the police than right at the point of engagement.

How about a PSA that informs the black community that acting like a thug to an officer when you are stopped, attacking him and trying to take his gun will result in your getting shot, and that the officer involved is NOT a racist you were just a thug and got what you deserved.
So you want more dead police and endangered civilians?

You used the term "thug" and that shows racial bias, a lack of compassion and a distinct lack of understanding regarding how things work in oppressed communities. Who are you to say that the guy who just punched a cop in the face wasn't merely expressing his frustration with a rigged system or acting out of fear for his life? These are the kind of things that only a truly enlightened and socially aware advocate for the people can understand and that, again, is why they should be teamed with cops. Somebody has to show the cops how to do these things and the ones that are most engaged in the social justice movement are, unquestionably, the best ones to set the example.
Please tell me this is sarcasm
Not totally. I'd actually like to see SJW's teamed with cops and I'd like to see them take control of these situations. They seem to be really good at telling us all how bad the police are so let them lead the way. The cop would still be there to take the report if something unexpected happened.

Lead up is, guy attacked a random person, and ignored the police's warnings.

You people wanna know why Kaepernick can **** off? **** like this.
That's going to end with a lot of dead civvies.
Well, from what I'm reading the cops are killing civilians at unprecedented rates because they're racist and unskilled in determining the "real" circumstances of their engagements. I'm also told that SJW's could have these situations contained if they were only given the chance. Therefore I'm suggesting a reasonable way to accommodate all parties to this great American injustice. Who know, maybe it will work out and we'll all learn something about ourselves.
SJWs don't know what the hell their talking about, so.....
That's a rather broad statement. I'm quite sure that there are a great many SJW's who are well versed in the issues they discuss. It's become obvious that what we are doing now isn't working so let's try something different.
By that same logic, we should scrap democracy. Our choices are abysmal. Clearly, something's not working so let's try something else.
Our choices are abysmal because we adopted Democracy and abandoned Republicanism.
Absolutely not!! That's why I'm suggesting that people who are the most understanding of the social issues that create crime are the best ones to combat it. Keep in mind that we wouldn't have these crime problems if everyone just understood the dynamics of an oppressed society.
I don't understand.
Do you think the family and community of a troubled man who commits suicide by cop deserve no support ?
I don't think that people should complain about Kaepernick :
-sitting down
-going to church
-not going to church
These seem like petty reasons.
Wow... I've read something today that makes me realize there are people out there, who just DO NOT get reality.
Thank you.
Thank you for your useless input...
