September 24, 20169 yr In the family video the gun is still not in the picture, comparing it to the still pic floating around with the gun at the bottom of the picture. If you pause the video at 1:05 you can see what appears to be a gun on the ground behind the officer wearing the red shirt. It then appears that he steps back where he's standing over it.
September 24, 20169 yr [ATTACH]58196[/ATTACH] I wish this many people cared about black on black violence back in the late 1980s. Folks may have been able to make a difference back then. Of course people don't care about black on black violence now. Just used for an internet gotcha moment anymore.

It then appears that he steps back where he's standing over it. That's what it looks like to me. What some may see as him possibly dropping something I believe is him just putting his gun back in the holster.
September 24, 20169 yr That's what it looks like to me. What some may see as him possibly dropping something I believe is him just putting his gun back in the holster. The shooting happened at .52 seconds. The gun is there at 1:05. He steps back and stands over it at 1:08. The only thing that was dropped was gloves and they're in a different place.

Per our conversations over these forums you say there are many that care about the black on black crime. My question is where has the BLM movement been since the late 80's? Or is that movement only for when a white officer is the one that has killed someone, justified or not?

Of course people don't care about black on black violence now. Just used for an internet gotcha moment anymore. It does not matter if it's black on black, black on white, white on black etc. Violence in any form is wrong. And your statement is wrong to say no one cared in the '80's. The Catholic Church has taken a collection for black communities specifically every year and going back to the '60's. It was in the 80's that Barack Obama was a community organizer for the South Side of Chicago and was receiving a grant for $400,000 to help this area. What the money was spent on I could not research. The group he formed back then still exists and I don't know how much grant money they receive today. And I don't know how much the Catholic Church sends now but the collections are taken every year. A lot of the material I've been reading states that a big part of the current problem is a drug cartel that has taken over the area to distribute drugs across the country. And gangs fight each other to protect their turf. And some victims are caught in the cross fire. Would making sure our southern border is secure and stopping the amount of drugs coming in be a solution to a number of problems? This could help the problems facing so many areas across the country. I would think this helps more than just throwing money at the problem because no one ever seems to know how it is spent, it is just gone.There are good people in this world who do care and not because they are running for some office or just because there's money in it for them.
September 24, 20169 yr I disagree. Per our conversations over these forums you say there are many that care about the black on black crime. My question is where has the BLM movement been since the late 80's? Or is that movement only for when a white officer is the one that has killed someone, justified or not? Let me clarify. I had never seen white people discuss black on black violence until BLM came on the scene. Yes, BLM is strictly a movement against police brutality. The color of the officer doesn't matter. See: Baltimore, Charlotte. The concept of BLM is a good one. The execution of that concept has been flawed in a major way.
September 24, 20169 yr I have a comment, but it would be political so I can't share it. What is political about the fact that before BLM no one ever questioned or worried about black on black violence? No one ever had the cute little memes or the feigned disgust over black on black violence until BLM hopped on the scene. I've shared multiple opinions on black on black violence since BLM hopped on the scene. Some people are earnest in discussion. Some aren't and just like trying to make a point. BLM was an organization started strictly against police brutality. As I have stated multiple times there are tons of people and organizations striving to end black on black violence but their air time pails in comparison to BLM's and that is on the mainstream media.

In your opinion, why didn't a BLM movement appear in the late 80's to demand an end to black on black violence? B on B violence has claimed many more lives than police involved shootings.

As I stated there have been thousands of groups all across America working to end black on black violence since the 1980s. Thousands.
