Default Get the facts then make a decision: Remember Brianna Taylor..

She lived with a dealer, kept money and goods for him. He even called her from jail to ask for the money she held, to get him out on bond. The police acted on the house being STILL USED for drug business. I am not saying that all cop shootings are good or bad.. but they go on the evidence they have. This girl was NOT an angel, nor was floyd.

But, the black man obeys the police, shows his valid license and registration, and is eventually released, even though he feels like he should have been treated with more respect. Who should he blame? The police officer because he is obviously a racist? Maybe. But, how about placing at least some of the blame on the disproportionate number of black men who did not follow the same law abiding course in life, and had some influence on the police officer's perception about life. Police officers are supposed to follow a standard procedure, but they are only human.
