Pushing Police Hatred: WRAL Says Over 100 Killed By Police During Chauvin Trial

This serves no purpose other than to make people hate the police, even as they unintentionally tell the truth on some shootings

More than 100 people killed by police across US during three weeks of Chauvin trial

A hang-up phone call to 911 prompted Person County Sheriff’s deputies to dispatch to a home in Hurdle Mills on April 2. When they arrived, police came upon a hostage situation underway, according to law enforcement members. Shots were exchanged, and 58-year-old Jackie Cameron Capps Jr. was shot dead.

That incident in central North Carolina is one of dozens that have happened since the beginning of Derek Chauvin’s trial on March 29.

“One case – that’s one too many,” said Dr. Hunter Boehme, a criminologist and assistant professor at North Carolina Central University.

I don’t want to be shot? Let the hostage go. Don’t shoot at police. What did Dr. Boehme want to happen? The guy get away with the hostage? Kill the hostage? The police have no blame in this.

In the 22 days between the start of the trial of the former Minneapolis police officer and his conviction, 103 people were shot and killed by law enforcement, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

Maybe I’ll peruse it, but, I know what I’ll find: almost every single incident involved a criminal, probably not complying with the lawful demands of law enforcement officers. Getting violent. Fighting back.

Chauvin is the first white police officer in Minnesota convicted of killing a Black citizen. Officers are often cleared of wrongdoing because the use of force is found to be justified. Data shows only 1.1% of police involved in these killings will ever be charged with murder or manslaughter.

That’s because the majority are lawful. Police do not want to do this. They are usually forced into the situation. Because people are breaking the law and being threatening.

“Community policing – we have to strive for it,” said Boehme. “We have to develop better relationships. But all those efforts can really go awash when a video [like the] George Floyd [one] emerges.”

Hey, let’s pull the police out of all these neighborhoods, see what happens. Oh, right, the same people will complain when the police they hate are not there to stop their neighbors from shooting each other.

He is currently working to implement a grassroots community police relationship model. The idea is that citizens are in charge and police work in the background instead of residents bringing up program ideas and police implementing them.

I’ll say it: crime skyrockets in black neighborhoods vs that of white, Asian, and Latino ones. Stop blaming the police because they come on 911 calls for criminal complaints.
