Moot point ? I think not, since it is the point that started it all.

You'll find two posts on the battery, a positive and a negative, remove the negative connector from the terminal. That will shut the power down.

Same can be said about the positive connector.

Now, please tell me exactly how, this has to do with the conversation in hand ?

He was killed RIGHT AFTER being detained and posed no immediate threat. So yes, he is a victim. No amount of shouting about his criminal behaviour justified the brutal handling by the four policemen.

You weren't there, neither was I ...... It was IMO, the use of an approved procedure that went horribly wrong....nothing more, nothing less.

this is cold hard facts, if he hadn't have been a criminal , he would be alive today, that's very likely true ....however his criminal activity didn't warrant a horrible death at the hand of murderers in uniform

What world do you live in? Do you know how many Blacks who were not engaged in criminal activity AT ALL have been killed by police? I'll be posting about that later with the list of names.

what are you talking about?...I live in a very real world..I only agreed that if he hadn't been a criminal he very LIKELY wouldn't be dead.. nowhere did I say he deserved to die, in fact I said the very opposite.. Tell me how many white people who have died in Police custody have you protested about..don't start with me lady !

The use of an approved procedure that wasn’t applied correctly which the entire world could see. If it were used correctly, he would still be here. That’s why murder charges were made by the professionals (which we aren’t)

So "horribly wrong" is the new acceptable, is it?

"Horribly wrong" justifies all actions (or inactions) now, does it?

I understand why you said that but my point is that not only criminals get killed by cops. My reply was not intended to insinuate that you feel he deserved to die Holly, believe me. I haven't seen about many Whites who have died in police custody but I did see where a naked (White) man who obviously was not armed was running across the street in line of site of two cops and one said shoot him. I was horrified because he was obviously mentally ill and didn't deserve that. As I stated in another reply....I can't dictate who protests, who doesn't and when to do it. In the case of the naked man...he lived in another state and I didn't see anything about protests for him.

That's why he should have surrendered to the arrest.....or did you miss that part somehow ?

Okay wise guy. What about people who did everything the cop said, such as in the case of traffic stops? There have been several incidences where people did exactly what the cop asked but were killed anyway. Did you miss those parts?
