So are we upset an man killed a homeless guy and it was filmed or that the filmer just filmed it and didn’t do anything to stop it? Or both?
Glad the STLPD got an arrest- Video shows gunman nonchalantly shooting homeless man execution-style in broad daylight in St. Louis

Upset that nobody even warned the guy. Upset that this is where we are as a society. Upset people like Kim Gardner and Cori Bush have allowed this to flourish in STL. It's a complete disregard for human life.

The same one that is actively working to remove the corrupt prosecutor. That’s not the same party that defunded the STL Police.
I’m confused. What party runs the state legislature? What proposals have the made and passed to address such issues?

Umm, made murder illegal? Are you being intentionally obtuse or do you not know how any of this works? The state legislature determines the laws. The local mayors and city councils determine who will lead their police departments, their focus on crime, and how they'll enforce the law. That this sort of stuff happens in St. Louis is entirely a failure at the local level.

Cack got caught in his own web, so he’s pulling a Fred Astaire or is it Ginger Rogers? Don’t want to appear biased.

Southern Poverty Law Center claiming their guy was an innocent bystander.

Pulled over because they didn't have the correct plates. Another one where all they had to do was comply, but decided to go for their gun instead.

What makes these people resist or act aggressively or just go completely out of their way to be antagonistic? If you get pulled over, say "Yes, sir," "No, sir," "Here's my license and registration," and don't be a dumbass trying to escalate things. If you think you're being treated unfairly, that's not the time & place to argue and resist. You do that in court or with an attorney later.
 

GATTACA!

This guy seemed a few bricks short. One of those people that seems to think they know the law better than the cops and think they’ve found some legal loophole no one else has ever discovered.

On a lighter note: One of my best friends is an 81-year-old black guy from my hometown. He and my brother & I were hanging out a few years ago having coffee and talking about this sort of stuff. I asked him if he'd ever had a problem with the police and he said that the same cop pulled him over for speeding four times in a two-week period. I asked, "Well, were you speeding?

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" he replied. LOL

Bullshit. Everyone knows old people don’t speed. 😉

Entitlement, diminishing respect for authority, villainization of police, a lack of purpose...
