Wait…..
What…..
Cops have shot and got away with killing black people and minorities for years. Thankfully smartphones, dashcams and body cams have come around to give us a glimpse of what is really going on in the world.
But according to the FBI director we are still making things up and the video isn’t what it seems.
Comey made his comments at the International Chiefs of Police Conference in San Diego, acknowledging that videos of fatal police encounters are helping feed the frenzy that “something terrible is being done by the police”. He also said that people “actually have no idea if the number of black people or brown people or white people being shot by police is up, down or sideways over the last three years, five years, 10 years”.
“It is a narrative driven by video images of real and gut-wrenching misconduct, by images of possible misconduct, by images of perceived misconduct,” Comey added. “It’s a narrative given force by the awesome power of human empathy.”
Even one shooting is too much and imagine all the ones we don’t hear about because the police are covering up things when they do something wrong and illegal.
