Chicago PD Releases Video Which Shows 'Unarmed Black Man' Draw Gun On Cops

Rational human beings, please go back and carefully read the article. It clearly states in paragraph 3 that the officers who tried to stop him "were walking foot patrol and observed him to be carrying a gun. Considering Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation it's common sense that they would stop him.

You complain about someone referring to the protesters as "these blacks" and state " y'all need to go join the Nazi parades, you're well on your way anyway." Your no better then the person who made the generality about blacks. What gives you the right to ASSume that LEO's are Nazi's for enforcing the laws that the City of Chicago enacted?

Your observations about the video are complete fantasy. He was given a lawful order from a police officer and he CHOSE to not follow it. Why did he choose not to follow the order? Because he was carrying the gun in VIOLATION of the law. Plain and simple if he had followed the law and obeyed the directions of the officers he would be alive today. It was his CHOICE to run away and pull his gun and he lost his life for it. Why is it so hard for certain people to just follow the direction of police officers?

Your constant reference to LEO's as Nazi's is revolting. May I suggest you do a little studying on who and what Nazi's really were. Not what people with an agenda claim they are but who they really were and what they did. Also your refusal to look at black on black crime and acknowledge it is a major problem in Chicago shows your own personal ignorance.

Lastly he wasn't being arrested at the time this happened he was being stopped for questioning. The crime, carrying a concealed weapon. Officers have the lawful right to stop someone and verify that the are legally allowed to conceal carry. He wasn't!

Do yourself and everyone in your community a favor and get educated. Stop spewing the typical ignorant garbage and do something to better your community.

Rational human being said: I'm not even gonna get into how biased this whole article is, but first of all, why did they stop him? Because to just roll up on someone and start a confrontartion when they're not commiting any crimes or even looking like they are is looking for a fight. But wait, why am I telling y'all this. Looking at the "Fresh COnversations, thers is already someone using the term "These Blacks". Yeah, y'all need to go join the Nazi parades, you're well on your way anyway. And the first one of you to drop a dearth threart in my mailbox is invited to come see me in the ring. Open a book and grow the fuck up.

Considering you didn't read the article, why are you condemning it? It blatantly states why they stopped him -- They SAW THE FIREARM. Open carry is not legal in Chicago. Please try wrapping your head around that and stop focusing on blindly supporting every person with your skin color.

Think like a "rational human being" instead.

Know what, I'm wasting my time talking to idiots who spend their time trying to shore up their biases by joining sites like this to bolster their preconviced notions. I seincerly hoope everyone one of you loses a friend to a cop and has a mind-altering crisis of faith in your bullshit. Meanwhile, I'm gonna go let your daughter chokes herself on this dick, understand that all of your racist fucks are well on your our way out. Out of OUR country, our of OUR gene pool and off of OUR planet.

Even watching the video should show you biased idiots something simple: They swarmed and surrounded him, attacking him from multiple directions and drew weapons well before he ever did, therefore he drew in SELF DEFENSE! But that doesn't matter to Nazis. Y'all will make any fucking excuse, including the already old, tired, and bullshit claim of Black on Black crime when it's COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT. If you're one of those people, reconsider yourself because you're part of the problem and will be why this country goes to war with itself. If you have a problem with that, fact, solve yourself. And grow the fuck up.

Also, AZBIGDOG, WHy was he being arrested? WHat crime was he commiting? What was he suspected of? They made the choice to go after him and he tried to defend himself. And we all know what "thug" means in Nazi language, just call him a nigger like you want to so you can quit hiding behind your thin little veil.

Where a all the protest when a black on black murder takes place in Chicago?

Hi_estComnDenomn said: @lolamae 1. BLM has nothing to do with this 2. Obama has nothing to do with this. In fact, police death dropped steadily during his presidency. 3. Quit lying.

Obama has everything to do with this. BLM has everything to do with this.

Could they let him run? Could they just let him go? He wasn't doing anything wrong EXCEPT carrying a firearm ILLEGALLY. But did they know? Bottom line is just conform to the law. I got pulled over few weeks ago, gave the trooper my license and conceal carry permit. He asked if I had a weapon. My answer was yes in my passenger seat. He didn't ask to see it, told me to stay put, went to his car to run my license then came back and ask me to slow down. Never was my weapon in question. The police are good by far. The people who are bad cause conflict with cops and community. I respect them. I feel safe even when (and I always do) have a weapon in my possession when confronted by a law officer. Thanks BLUE GUYS for what you do.

Police deaths have steadily declined since the 1970's. I would have expected the numbers to rise a bit the past few years, but they have remained stable. Which means 2 things.

Not only is the media over covering people of color being killed by police, but they are also pushing coverage of officers killed in the line of duty, especially if it can be related to civil unrest. If you talk to the public, they believe bpolice are killing minorities at an ever increasing rate. And if you talk to police, they believe officers are being killed at a higher rate. The only real effect they are having on statistics right now is public perception.

Sorry Lolamae, I voted for mr obama and he did nothing for our community of color for which he could have been our greatest ambassador! Police officers being killed in the line of duty tripled during his presidency and his disloyalty to all of us and to those who serve us directly and indirectly caused the Major decline in Police respect and law & order? Check the statistics before calling or saying someone is a liar as that is what causes dissension among the citizenry! Please understand that I Know there are Bad Cops out there But the % is extremely low compared to those who are honest, caring, put their lives on the line and truly want to clean up our city a our community for those of us who live here!!
