"DuBose has been charged with driving without a license more than 13 times between 1995 and 2009, according to court records obtained by Cincinnati’s Fox 19. He has also been charged with driving while suspended eight times from 2005 and 2011 and with failure to display a proper a proper license plate on his vehicle four times between 1995 and 2009. Dubose had more than 75 offenses charged to him over his lifetime.
He instead chose to attempt to drive off thus causing the officer to draw his weapon and fire. Cause and effect buddy. Now with that said, I think the officer over reacted from the footage. But again, my point is that it is hard to play quarterback when you aren't the one actually making the play.
At this point, I'm sure cops are just going to be like F' it. Let the animals run the zoo. These guys are in a no win situation.

This second video was easier for me to watch. One thing that keeps running through my mind are the officers that arrive on scene after the shooting. One woman seems angry, one man went right to whether everything was caught on film.
These seem minor details but why is this woman angry? And the officer asking about the filming really didn't care to hear the story he wanted to see it. I haven't decided why these details are important to me.

The one common factor in all the incidents? People not STFU and resisting arrest. You have to have a low digit IQ if you think mouthing off, talking back, and being aggressive with a cop is going to end well for you.
These events are tragic but at the end of the day, none of it would have happened had the guy / gal just STFU. You have to know when to pick your battles.
I'm a black male so I understand what it is like to feel as if you are being targeted. However, my dad was a cop and he taught me earlier on to just STFU EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE RIGHT AND THE COP IS WRONG.
What you numbnuts don't seem to get is that police are already on edge. They have no idea who you are when they pull you over. They don't know if you are Sunday school teacher or if you got a body in the trunk. All they want is to do their job and get home to their families that night. When you start copping an attitude, you are escalating a situation with a person who is already on edge.
No one is arguing that police are always right. But I am getting sick of all this Monday morning quarterbacking. It only takes a split second for what could have been a simple traffic stop to a cop being killed by not paying attention. Go look up the videos with cops getting blasted after pulling someone over.
THere was a cop killed a few weeks ago. Pulled a car over and got blasted before he even got to the window of the car.

I find it interesting that Mr. Dubose had been pulled over approx. 21 times.
That means 21 other officers interacted with the victim at traffic stops and none of them had to shoot him in the face.

...snipped.... Some of these pigs are simply out on the hunt looking for folks to kill. They slaughter blacks more under these circumstances because they KNOW they have a higher chance of getting away with it.
You know, a few years ago I would have said that statement was ridiculous. But a few years ago I hadn't seen the "I am God and you will snivel before me." attitude from cops. Now I've experienced it firsthand on at least four occasions. Between 1970 and 2006 I was stopped by police a total of three times, one for speeding, one for expired plates and one for burned out headlight. None of those stops required the cop to put his hand on his gun. None of those officers demanded to search my vehicle or threatened to take me to jail.
Since 2006 I've been stopped so often I've lost count and have been threatened with jail for not wearing a seat belt when I tried to explain to the officer that under KY law, in my 1987 automobile, I am not required to wear a seat belt.
So yeah, I'm beginning to think that there may be an element out there that is some sort of secret society of police murderers and killing an unarmed person is the initiation.
