What are we supposed to do? (Details )

Asked by MrGrimm888 (18996points) September 30th, 2016

More unarmed black people shot. The latest in Charlotte was a cousin of a guy I work with. A video of police planting a weapon on his dead body was taken by the dead man’s wife. It seems witnesses on scene report that a white officer actually killed the man, and the black officer was trying to take the fall to stop the appearance of another white cop shooting an unarmed black man. There are 6 officers present in the video. So, they were conspiring to cover for one another.

My black friends, and indeed most white or non black friends are getting really pissed. The tension is building.

It seems like once every week or two another case of unjustified police violence occurs.

There’s so much talk of gun control being important, but these are unarmed people. ..
We’ve been protesting (peacefully, ) but it clearly isn’t changing anything in reality.

How long are we supposed to stand by while police execute our citizens?

Is there a non violent way to address this issue? I’m not a ‘race war,’ or ‘kill all the cops’ guy….

WTF are we supposed to do?
