I had no idea they were advising people to remove law enforcement support paraphernalia.

I honestly don't know and won't guess what a police officer may consider threatening behavior. I've seen videos where non whites are doing things and are shot whereas a white person does the same, is not shot, and is somewhat treated like a "buddy" or child.

It comes across as people justifying unwarranted law enforcement behavior, but when an innocent cop is killed individuals want justice NOW. Where was the justice with the pregnant Native woman, Sandra Bland, Treyvon, Freddy Gray, etc?

Law enforcement need better training, period. People need to stop making excuses, period. From my understanding the Black Panthers are taking their stance because they see law enforcement treating the black community unjustly(killings, arrest,etc).

Where's the public upset for that? Maybe it's just a culture/ideal clash because I am part of the minority who is often targeted, and *some* of you are not. You wouldn't understand the depth of the problem because the problem doesn't directly effect you.

I'm a Minority. I grew up in the gang culture. I know how ppl act. But I also have Leos and Military in my family so I know what they see. I WAS inside look out. Not outside looking in and think I know whats going on because I have the same skin color. I knew Black Panthers. I new Neo Nazis, Latin Kings, Ms13...Alot of ppl werent bad. But just a situation in live they were brought up in. Especially in the 80's with so many less opportunity and jobs. Theres bad Cops. But far more bad ppl. And if you deal with it everyday it may change the way you act. No excuse for bad Cops.But attitude get you far. If a Cop tell u to lay down.You lay down. Its the law. If they are righ or wrong you must comply. If you dont then things may get taken the wrong way. Still bad Cops are bad but a good Cop may go to far if you dont comply. In the opinion for their safety
