For 73 years before his killing by a white police officer, Bernard Monroe led a life in this northern Louisiana town as peaceful as they come — five kids with his wife of five decades, all raised in the same house, supported by the same job.
The black man's shooting death is attracting far more attention than he ever did, raising racial tensions between the black community and Homer's police department
It seems like rarely do cops who kill civilians without any kind of criminal actually end up in jail. I mean I could be wrong and I probably am but I've heard very few(none actually) stories of cops in general population.
I suppose police are trained to ignore this fact and see the world through neutral-colored lenses. One man is no more likely to be a threat because of the color of his skin, right? To think anything else just wouldn't be appropriate, right?
Since the postwar period, both the public and the scientific communities have associated eugenics with Nazi abuses, such as enforced racial hygiene, human experimentation, and the extermination of undesired population groups. However, developments in genetic, genomic, and reproductive technologies at the end of the 20th century have raised many new questions and concerns about what exactly constitutes the meaning of eugenics and what its ethical and moral status is in the modern era.
See? I can sound completely ridiculous too
Black man's killing by police shakes La. town
Too early to tell. But then again this is Louisiana and these are cops. But whatever happens the odds don't look good for the dead man. Just sayin'. Slap on the wrists. Don't do it again. 3-6 months without pay. 2 year suspension. Any of these would seem to be almost protocol in the North with cops who **** up and it wouldn't even be remotely shocking if it happened in the South. Specially in the South.

Kwl, at least it ain't some liberal, hippe hell hole.But then again this is Louisiana
To be honest mate I find the police in Britain to be very dubious myself. They are heavy handed, authoritarian and politically correct. It seems when they're not beating people up for not compying with the smallest little request or keeping your dna on file when you haven't even been charged, they are telling people to take down their English flag because it is "racist" or arresting Christian missionaries who go into Muslim neigherbourhoods.I love how lefties like Hatuey are ready to judge, jury and executioner of the police.
Well these people do weild power, we must always be on guard against those in positions of trust and power.What happened to such foreward thinking premises like I dunno... innocent until proven guilty? Or, not rushing to judgement?

I'm no expert but US police look even more heavy-handed to me, just from TV though, even if they are a little less PC.

We entrust the police to protect us. We MUST trust that they do the right thing, and give the investigative arms time to work.

But by no means should we give the Obama administration any time, right?
That can be handled in another thread if you'd like. Obama is trying to do things that are wrong, so no, he shouldn't get anytime. when he stops trying to turn the country into a socialst, cradle to grave nanny state then maybe, but otherwise...
no, he deserves no acceptance of failed ideas and plans.
Wow....You already do.
without evidence you bring up race as the factor. rather speculative of you.
typical race baiting on your part.
"Police said Monroe was shot after he pointed a gun at them,"
but instead of waiting to wait until the investigation concludes, you want to believe one side over another...
how sharpton of you.
Kwl, at least it ain't some liberal, hippe hell hole.
You are so predictable..as are most partisan hacks....
You use past tense, FAILED, only after 2 months....
What would make for "good odds" for the dead man?Too early to tell. But then again this is Louisiana and these are cops. But whatever happens the odds don't look good for the dead man. Just sayin'.

That's an oxymoron.No. It's just a redneck hellhole. :lol:
