You disagree?Of course you do.
Of course it does. Him being a habitual thief and robber since at least the age 16 influenced his decision to break windows and steal from his grandma's neighbors.Of course you disagree. But the kind of person has no relevance to what he did and what the officers did.
Him still being on probation for the robbery he did when he was 18 (in 2014) influenced his decision not to surrender which would have prevented the shooting.
I think motives are highly relevant.What motivated him to behave in the manner he did is not relevant to the issue of whether the police acted appropriately - only what he did.
More like simplistic.This is very simple to understand.
Yes, the uncritical praise by the family and his supporters must be balanced. All the family is harping on is his reproductive status and him liking shoes and video games. I guess you think that is more relevant to the case than his criminal record.And you feel the need to balance that "uncritical" praise of "these people"? Wow.
Stephon Clark was trash. Stevante acted very hood when he interrupted the council meeting. And "these people" was merely reference to those defending Stephon that I mentioned before.Not only does your posting history betray you, this thread and the Stephon Clark thread betray you with your calling him trash, and your references to "hood rats" and "these people". Really, you are not fooling anyone but yourself.
What's wrong with any of those statements? Is any criticism of black people automatically problematic?
