Activist killed in police-involved shooting in Paterson 

If you're white then yes 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@ellisthejerk8018 funny in the story its all about aa. Granted white man uses this to rid himself of wg or to justify why aa behavior is so awful.

*Since when do black people need an excuse to be gunned down by police? I've seen some dumb comments before but this has to be in my top 5*

@@thespeedofthought8206 How many gunned down? in 2020 nationwide police shot 1000 suspects less than 200 were B so who were the 800? no riots statues or murals for them

May you be blessed with the compassion you deserve

WE don't decide cases based on an online poll of those complaining but unwilling to become police

Yea I agree I want to see the body cam footage

@@silentmajority8365 your comment is quite ignorant! Police are PUBLIC SERVANTS!

Cops are filthy pigs. They don't call them pigs for nothing! They are dirty, just disgusting. They habitually break the constitution.

@@jsnjwb84 so then what would all these poc criminals be called? Turds? Roaches? Rats? They care not about the constitution or anyone else. So dumb to compare them as benafits to humanity. Cops have a benafit, to stop the roaches. Roaches just serve a purpose of being nasty little peices of crap eating parasites.

I bet Al and Jesse are on their way, too.

When will “they stop”

disobeying police for 2 hours sure sounds like a criminal and not an activist Activist is code for troublemaker with no job

So what! Someone's life shouldn't be on a timer ! Plus, he was having a mental health crisis!! That is a real thing! Once again, trigger happy cops/pigs.

@@onceagain6184 ​ the cops were there for 2-4 hours trying to help and even had a family member of his trying to help him and it didn’t work, they went in after him and he attacked them and they had a split second decision for self defense how can you blame the officers here

@leoneforte444 That "split second " nonsense, is just that ! I've seen cops take their time to disarm a person with a knife by using non-lethal methods! These cops were obviously trigger happy, like far too many police are now a days !

@@leoneforte444 👎🏾

Yeah lock up the insane before they commit crimes 337 million people in America and only 600,000 police officers nation wide DO THE MATH

The IQ Bell curve explains this much better, it’s just that you’re on the left-hand side of it.

So is mental illness. What’s your point?

@@NoahBodze You probably fried his brain trying to understand that one. LOL!!! 🤣😂🤣

@@NoahBodze its a guareentee your loved ones will pass. Let's pray they have mental health crisis along the way 😫🤣

The violent black man taken off our streets, good work police 🤣🤣🤣

How. Man can still get a gun off the streets witch is not hard if your life is not sheltered , use a knife or other blades implants and that just what available, thats not include what he could have crafted him self. In middle eastern country's where Americans once deviated but is stabilizing people Cary guns openly and there fuw shootings. Children carry full auto AK-47 and there are no issues other than the US dropping bombs on em. It's a part of the culture it once was a part of Americans culture. Small children brought guns to school openly and there was never a shooting like you see today. Can't blame kids these days because there's examples of modern-day children not having this issue. In a country that most people would have considered a Savage place. So what dose that really say about the US here in the USA. Are we the real savages. Hoped off of SSRIs and toxic culture to numbed out to feel morals or responsibility.🤷🏽 Idk just to tuck are guns. Ses "shall not infringe" and that means what it means.

He didn't have a gun. There's a report that says they encountered him with a knife and later on he allegedly set a fire. So this has nothing to do with guns, as you put.

You are right, now who do we tasked to be police officers now that you disarmed the entire force for being mentally deficient to own a firearm?

@@marnita522 Still weapons DUH

@@marnita522 knives guns still he had a weapon. Knofe is more deadly than a gun wothin 20feet so it isnt like saying he had a fly swatter. He fkd around and found out. Survival of the fittest, this case mentally fittest. What they supposed to let this chump go so he can kill someones kid? The fk outa here

"a pitbull snaps"? You are out of your mind!

@Once Again no, that is a sane take on it. Unpredictably violent.

@@onceagain6184 how am I out of my mind, I’m saying he snapped he couldn’t come out of the way he was acting it’s like when a pitbull snaps and they have to put it down cus it’s brain is gone it’s over the edge and ain’t coming back

It's possible they were called to conduct a wellness check. Maybe they were called by someone who witnessed or heard him believing erratically. Perhaps they were called by the victim himself.

@@bronxkies All I am saying is perhaps people tasked with enforcing laws aren’t qualified equipment or properly trained to act as crisis managers particularly when their mode of operation is too often escalation. Maybe sending the very people for which they apparently well aware he was fearful of was not a logical approach to a crisis? All to frequently people are outright murdered (state sanctioned all be it) by completely untrained and unprepared LEO’s who fancy themselves interventionists. Public trust of these institutions has eroded completely for good reason. So I stand by my statement. Never ask the police for help outside of solving a crime. It is simply too dangerous.

@@8wheeledassassins. point taken but I have questions, if you don't mind: Who gets sent instead? If a social worker, what does training look like/include for them so their safety is ensured? What does training look like for the cops in the event a social worker is not sent? I’m not asking for a debate, I’m genuinely interested in what this would look like. From a personal perspective, I’ve dealt with my own “mental crisis” in which a wellness check was conducted. One lasted for about 15 minutes while the other about 2. In the first scenario, I was given the choice to go to the hospital after a conversation with them. I suppose having a social worker on hand would’ve been nice. Perhaps logistically it would be easier to fortify the psych training of cops and EMS workers, though. In a situation where the victim is afraid of the cops, though, I suppose a plain clothes detective or social worker could be sent in but, again, that person would probably need police back up if the situation involves weapons. They engaged with this poor young man for 2 hours, though. One has to wonder what transpired and ultimately led to his death.

@@bronxkies I won’t pretend to have all the answers but I will stand by my observations and judgements they generate. Sometimes knowing what NOT to do is as valuable as knowing exactly what to do. In an ironic twist of fate, and at the risk of doxing myself, it appears a shooting just occurred in a neighbors home. Happening as we speak so I am not sure. Here is what has unfolded so far. One dozen vehicles marked and unmarked rage into the area in front of our home (suburban block) lights blazing no sirens. Officers immediately take out pistols and high caliber rifles, and take cover behind their and civilian vehicles training firearms on the house. Zero barrel discipline, zero awareness of backdrops or bystanders. Of which there are now many as the whole spectacle draws people from their homes. After roughly fifteen minutes they storm the house, and remove a four year old child and his father in handcuffs. All the while wielding large caliber rifles and showing again zero level of discipline. Once the house was cleared, they then proceeded (and continue to) stand around, hands in pockets shooting the ish. About 45 minutes later I hear one female officer call out for a blanket, presumably for the four year old freezing and terrified in a police cruiser now terrorized a second and third time by police after already facing a serious trauma. Again a real time reinforcement of my belief that these are not the people we should task with managing crisis situations. Their behavior and approach is nothing but detrimental. Officer safety is always held in a higher regard than citizens safety, and the end result is unneeded tragedy. I am watching it now in real time without a bias of presentation.

@@8wheeledassassins. Wow! What a wild twist of fate. That certainly does sound like a horrifying and startling situation all around. I’m still not sure on where I stand on the situation, but I do think your perspective provides a nuance that I’m willing to entertain. I hope everything with your neighbor goes well. That poor 4-year-old will need counseling, for sure, and I hope he/she gets it for a sustained period of time.
