BLM Statement on Ma’Khia Bryant

[bullseyelqcs]

Ha hahahahaha. Yes, where oh where would anyone get the idea you defended this officer?

No one is buying your pro cop anti kid blame the victim narrative. It's why, when asked to explain, you ran from it as fast as you could and began to deflect.

Blame the victim? You mean the girl who was attempting to cut the throat of another young lady? THAT victim?

Look, this was a necessary action given the circumstances. Not every black person shot and killed by police is an unnecessary shoot. When people talk the way you are, you give the very people who ARE doing what your complaining about the chance to take the focus off the cases that really are bad policing.

Just stop.

Yes, some people think cops killing teenagers are "necessary actions."

Not everyone will agree with your position.

Well, I've already explained at length why I don't see anything the officer could reasonably expect to do otherwise given the absurdly short amount of time in which he had to act to prevent Ma'Khia from carving up the girl in pink.

I could say more about this statement, but I won't, since I know this Trumpist thread is dishonestly designed to use one statement to try to attack the BLM movement, and that the the real overall purpose there is to discredit the idea that black lives matter just as much as anyone else's.






Right, because you care about the life of the girl who was saved....

Maybe this statement is an indication that BLM as an organization shouldn't be taken seriously. You know, if they can't even get something this obvious right, that's always a possibility.

So being a teenager is now a license to attempt murdering someone else?

Ah, the Trayvon Martin defense. Got it.

Ah, the Trayvon Martin defense. Got it.

Barking up the wrong tree there, Kimosabe.

Was she or was she not actively in the act of trying to stab another person to death?

As soon as you admit the answer is yes, you will understand why those two things bear zero resemblance.

Yes yes yes, we heard this all with Trayvon Martin, how he was beating someone's head into the concrete and so there was nothing to do but shoot him. Same arguments here, nothing new to see.

Here we have video proof that she was violently assaulting a girl with a large knife and attempting to stab her. No further justification is needed to shoot her.

If you are deluded enough to think these situations are remotely similar, then I feel sorry for you.

One of them was wrongly killed by someone who didnt need to be where the incident happened.

The other was shot by an officer while in the act of attempting to ventilate someone who didnt wish to be ventilated.

Apples and anvils.

The media has largely given up on Ma'Khia Bryant most likely because the videos show it was good shoot. However, the case of Andrew Brown is heating up.

USA Today reports, "Lawyers and a family member for Andrew Brown Jr. repeatedly referred to his death in North Carolina as an “execution’’ Monday while complaining they were only allowed to watch 20 seconds of body-camera video of his fatal encounter with law enforcement."

The stupidity on the part of the sheriff's department and the Pasquotank County attorney general cannot be understated. In how many ways can their stupidity be measured? Count them.

They allowed only the family and its lawyers see the video. This means that only one view of the incident in question is being presented to the public at large -- the view of Edward Brown's family.

The American public knows no different. News correspondents know no different.

The authorities permitted only one unfavorable highly prejudicial view of their departments to be seen by the public! That kind of stupidity defies understanding.

The family was allowed to see only a 20 second body cam video from one officer. We don't know what happened before the short video, and we don't know what happened after the short video. There were seven other deputies present. There were seven body cam videos. The family was shown only one 20 second video.

It is almost as if the county authorities wanted to make themselves look incredibly stupid while lacking even a hint of transparency. Does the sheriff and his department think they are above the law?

If we are to believe what the family and its lawyers are saying, the 20 seconds shown was the worst possible 20 seconds of the entire incident. Brown was in his car on his driveway with both hands in plain sight on the steering wheel when the eight deputies open fire. Brown was not armed.

ABC News reports, "The family of a 42-year-old Black man who died in a barrage of bullets fired at his car by North Carolina sheriff's deputies said Tuesday that an independent autopsy shows he was shot five times, including once in the back of the head.

"Andrew Brown Jr.'s relatives and attorneys announced the outcome of the postmortem exam they commissioned during a news conference Tuesday morning outside the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Department in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, saying it confirms he was "executed."

"Dr. Brent Dwayne Hall, the former medical examiner for five northwest North Carolina counties, performed the independent autopsy, the family's attorney's said.

"Wayne Kendall, an attorney representing Brown's family, displayed autopsy graphics pointing out that Brown was shot four times in his right arm. Kendall described those wounds as glancing wounds that did not kill Brown.

"He said the fatal shot hit Brown as he tried to drive away to save his own life. He said a bullet hit Brown at the base of the back of his skull and lodged in his brain."

"He was able to back up, turn the vehicle around, spin off across a vacant lot. And at that time he was hit in the back of he head and that is the fatal bullet wound," Kendall said.

ABC News continued, "According to the search warrant obtained by ABC News, sheriff's investigators wanted to search Brown's home for crack cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. In an affidavit attached to the search warrant, detectives claimed they used a confidential informant to record audio and video of the informant purchasing crack cocaine and methamphetamine from Brown on several occasions."

Brown's family and their attorneys claimed investigators failed to find weapons or drugs in Brown's vehicle and home.

Body cam videos still haven't been made public by the sheriff's department. All we get is meaningless rhetoric.

Some people will find any excuse to defend people shooting teenagers. You're no doubt to find lots of people who agree with you.
