LANCASTER – Hundreds of young adults gathered on Lancaster Boulevard Wednesday afternoon for a rally in response to the recent fatal police shootings of black men.

The event kicked off around 4 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, in front of the Los Angeles County Library at 601 West Lancaster Boulevard.

The group marched east on Lancaster Boulevard to the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station, then marched south on Sierra Highway for about a block before heading back to Lancaster Boulevard.

Marchers held signs and chanted, “Black lives matter!” and “No justice, no peace!”

“I’m out here standing for black lives,” said attendee Cliff Ross. “In the year of 2015, over 1,200 people were killed by police. In 2016, over 600 people have been killed… I want to convey the message that black lives matter, that you should not be afraid of being gunned down by police and that this has to stop.”

“I have three brothers, black males… To police they will look suspicious, and I want to make sure they could be safe out here in the world,” said attendee Destiny Joseph. “All lives matters, they all do, but right now black lives need to be represented.”

“As a person of color, I feel like it’s part of my responsibility to stand in solidarity with other people of color, especially the black community, because I see the injustices that they face everyday,” said Chloe, a marcher who gave only her first name.

The rally eventually ended at American Heroes Park, at 701 W. Kettering Avenue, where a few speakers addressed the crowd.

“Black people have been getting murdered for a long time. This is a movement so that our voices are heard,” Evangela Cecil told the gathering. “We are not here to kill police, we are not here to kill anyone, except for the injustice that has been brought upon us as a people. We are here for our voices to be heard, it is enough.”

Captain Pat Nelson from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Lancaster Station was at the rally; he stressed the importance of dialogue.

“It’s the first step to understanding,” Nelson told reporters. “Unfortunately, it seems that — sometimes driven by the media, sometimes driven by events —  that dialogue is cut off, and we  don’t get an opportunity to discuss each other’s points of view… Without doing that, you can’t reach understanding.”

  1. White people get hit with rubber bullets, blacks get the real steel. True facts, my mom is no criminal at all, has worked for her employer with top security clearance for 15 years, works the swing shift, so she gets off work at 2am. She gets pulled over because her “lamp light” is out, even though she drives a Monte Carlo. Cop pulled her over and said “he thought she was someone else” she asked what name came up when he ran her plates? She even checked her lamp light when he mentioned it, and it was still working.
    My cousin won a huge lawsuit against the city of Lancaster because the cops recorded them beating the crap out of him when he “resisted arrest”. I guess being tasered 3 times while handcuffed is resisting. None the less, Judge saw the video, cops were only SUSPENDED and they paid him out.
    Yes all lives matter, but being shot when white people are being talked down is bull. I am proud of every man and woman that was able to make it out, come together as one, and march against the madness we are faced to endure every damn day as a minority man/woman in America. And as said before until you walk a day in our shoes…shut the hell up and educate yourselves as to what’s REALLY going on.
    If a soldier can have restraint not to kill during WAR unless necessary, there are NO good or reasonable excuses for all the deaths in America these cops have cause. It is SICK that they are to protect and serve the communities that we lay our heads in. No parent should have to pray every time their child goes to school or work because of the color of their skin or their race.
    and Joseff…whatever your name is…it’s “mic” since you want to be Mr. spell check.

    • Why do whites get shot,by cops, with real bullets, twice as much as blacks then?

      • Because there are nine times as many white people so a randomly fired bullet should hit them nine times as often…not just twice as often.

        Good stat there IHAD, though it doesn’t prove anything like what you thought that it proved.

        The black guy who shot five cops in Dallas, cops blew up with a drone. The white guy who shot up a “black church” and killed nine…the cops bought him lunch.

    • Your the white mom from comments below! You came back with a story about your cousin. You correct me on the proper spelling of microphone when abbreviated. You still complain about injustice but say your cousin won a lawsuit. That bailiff in the corner of the court, was he white? The judge? You say march! Have you ever seen a black lives march that was peaceful? Dallas was peaceful until a radical homegrown terrorist shot it up claiming allegiance to black lives matter. So quick to fight for a battle you have no say in. What is the case number in the court system for that win? People usually believe things that can be proven! You are the exception for that statement. You believe what you’re told.

      It’s Joseff, by the way. A Russian spelling of a middle eastern name. You are a self hating white mom that has to justify fighting when you could have just stayed silent and taken care of your offspring! Keep posting false facts about the biased number of police murders. You’ll grow up one day and learn the wolves can wear a sheep’s wool. Don’t get fleeced. Drops the MIC

    • Really? I met an LASD sergeant who serves down below. He got the “black treatment” from one of our fine local deputies at a routine traffic stop, pulled his badge and pulled rank and let the guy have it. BUT, he didn’t report the guy, who no doubt took out his frustrations on the next black motorist he could find. Why no report? Because even a sergeant didn’t feel like he had enough rank to buck the consequences of doing that. And you think joining up as a rookie someone can change the revolting culture of the LASD? Get real.

      I’ll admit that my efforts to cause change have been ineffective, and in some cases even misguided, but this “since we can’t change them join them” idea is gross. Should we all go sign on with the KKK in hopes of producing organizational enlightenment?

      • I’m sure he wasn’t doing anything wrong,just driving while black.so tired of these second hand made up,”i wasn’t doing anything wrong”stories.what’s next”hands up,don’t shoot”was real?

        • Well, he was a sergeant in the LASD so I doubt he was doing anything really extraordinary so far as criminal activity goes, but one never knows. It was probably a routine traffic stop, which is a much different experience for black people.

        • Sometimes they really are “doing nothing”. My son was underage, washing my mothers car, in MY driveway. Cops rolls by and decides to question my son about the car! “What is someone like you doing with a car like that? Where do you work/What type of work do you do?” My son’s reply was “well I’m a minor and you shouldn’t even be questioning me without my mom present, but if you really need to know, this is my Grandmothers car”. That was uncalled for…period…even if it was his car, who is this man to question my son about how he obtained the car? Again, the people given badges to protect and serve us. Good thing I taught my kids about “civil rights” lord knows the schools don’t.

    • Enough time to leave a nasty comment, but not enough to realize people are being murdered in the streets because of their-race regardless of employment status!

  4. It’s amazing how oppressed these individuals are! Having to find time to protest out of a busy work schedule of thirty some hours a week must be exhausting! I work my tail end off catering to people all day long in a Fortune 500 department store and barely have time to sleep between shifts! These poor underprivileged humans must be exhausted getting those nice trendy clothes on after removing a suit and tie from a hard days work!

    • Just imagine how tired you would be if your “barely time” to sleep between shifts was routinely cut into when you had to spend half an hour kissing a cop’s butt on your way to or from because you “match the description”…as long as “they all look alike” is applied, of course. Actually matching the description is, of course, not really required.

      • Save your breath Tim. Working Joe is obviously part of the problem
        Maybe we should try policing without regular guns. How about carrying guns that shoot rubber bullets and beanbags
        Cops are human. They get scared. They make snap decisions without all the facts. It would give people a chance!
        I know there are a lot of good cops that care about people. But the ones that don’t are causing problems for
        ALL of us.
        If we’re not all equal, then we need to change our constitution & bill of
        Rights
        You shouldn’t have to be a certain color or religion or age or sex to be treated with respect due to each and every human being
        It seems like we move 3 steps forward and 7 steps back
        I work 65 hrs a week, I didn’t know there was a March or I would have been there
        I’m white, and I’m a mom – all lives matter
        We need to stand up for each other cause it’s right

        • You ARE a scared self hating minority that professes a 65 hour schedule all the while stating that you are a good mom. im sure having that little interaction with your kin is the best kind of start! you even have time to care about a race that you have no business speaking for! As a black male that wrote these original posts, i think you should remember your skin color before commenting on a racially fueled subject! i do fit your predetermined image, just a darker color.

          • ALL LIVES MATTER! White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, Greek, French, Italian and so on.

    • Working joe, iare you that stuppid seriously?

      If we had a 90% black police force, and they went around and killed white innocent civilians, you too would find the time to protest against those thugs with badges.

      However, since it is the other way around, who cares right?

      People are sick and tired of police officers murdering innocent people, and not getting held accountable.

      • I guess “i are” that “stuppid”. Check you figures and try your rant again. Hypothetical is not reality. If is a big variable in this equation. If you made any sense, I would argue. You don’t, so that’s it. You opened your mouth, inserted your foot. I wish the bad men you speak of walked off the job, then who would enforce your constitutional rights. *Drops mike Obama style.

        • Joseff,

          Trust me, there are many people that are more than willing to replace those thugs with badges that are costing the tax payers millions in lawsuits every year.

          If they are so afraid, of interacting with minorities, they should get out and make room for people that want to do the job.

          • Black guy getting ready for work says go for it! You have the solution! Now apply yourself! If not, remain your complacent self. I have to dodge police on the way to my job now, oh wait, no i don’t. That ideology is that of a fairy tale, non-existent except within your sad little minds. White cops this, black lives that! Stifle yourself Edith! You are too young to know what real bigotry is! The fact that you can rant online safely from your room is testament to what i say.

            If you didn’t do anything, then why worry? I don’t break the law, nothing has happened to me. If we could convince the youth to stop perpetuating a violent subculture, then maybe things will change and more black cops will become reality through the action of the black youth of America taking hold and seeking success. If that would happen. Until it does, realize that whites are hating your own race in hopes of letting a con artist, with nothing but leisure time, see that you have fallen for it.

            It won’t change because the change that is a consensus can only come to fruition through the non idle lifestyles of the people protesting. They don’t want to change. That IS their success, constant freetime and money to support their oppressors!

  5. You all know this ‘movement’ is simply a summer activity to give bread and circus to the masses, while the world burns. far more important issues are going on.

      • Your lack of reasonable common sense to see BLM as nothing more than a Sorosa upheaval group that blurs focus off true corruption is ‘sadder’

    • Very funny video, yet it makes a solid point. The quote about MLK at the end is questionable as I found sources that say he was NOT a Republican (from liberal sources of course) and sources that say he WAS a Republican (from conservative sources). Guess we’ll never know the truth…

      • There is literally no common ground between the Republican Party of the 1950s and the Republican party of today, so the party preference of MLK, or anyone else, in the 1950s is a pretty insignificant point. I was raised a Republican and served faithfully under Ronald Reagan, but that doesn’t mean that when the Republicans went round the bend I had to go with them.

      • Easy way to find out is to do research on voter records.
        From what I have learned Mr. King was an independent. He voted with his mind, not along party lines. He voted for the people and subjects he felt were most honest to themselves and the public.

  7. Bottom line is listen and do as ur told when being stopped by a cop if you have nothing to worry about. Easy as that! All of this can be prevented, why try to wrestle authority of you have nothing to worry about.

    • Just heard the story of a young black man in New York. Before the NYPD was forced to abandon stop and frisk this guy was stopped nine times. Every stop involved profanity. He was made to lie face down on the sidewalk while his armpits, butt crack, and genitals were probed. Nothing was ever found on him.

      Out of nine stops he was never told “sorry for the inconvenience.” He didn’t keep count, but thinks that more often than not he was never told it would be okay to get up and was just left lying there, eventually figuring out they were gone for himself.

      This happened before he was twenty.

      If YOU did that to your own child you would be imprisoned, and rightly so.

      If this happened to your kid I think almost any professional in the field would recommend at least some trauma therapy.

      DOCUMENTED…the NYPD “stopped and frisked” more young black men in New York than there ARE young black men in New York. Meaning that at least some got stopped more than once, and for every one that didn’t get stopped at all there’s someone that took the extra stop.

      This is the generation we have created.

      These are the people you are telling they have “nothing to worry about.”

      • Those are the kind of people that are committing crimes, that’s why the they created stop and frisk laws. If they want to stop being treated like criminals, they need to stop committing crimes. Same reason cab drivers stoped picking up black people in NYC because they were getting robbed.

        • Liz so let me get this straight….you’re saying that a 12 year old child playing in the park with a toy gun is committing a crime and therefore deserves to die?

          • People who have been paying attention are talking about it Liz. Cops shooting children playing with toy guns and of course facing no consequences has been part of the conversation of Black Lives Matter since it started. Where have you been?

        • For the record, the relatively few “stop and frisks” of white people yielded a far higher rate of return of contraband. Apparently THAT is the “kind of people” who were committing crimes.

          Thankfully, I think most people are coming around to the idea that sorting people into “kinds” by color of skin is repugnant, since I certainly wouldn’t want to be cast into the same “kind” as you.

          • stop with the ” I’m black that’s why you shot me $@# !! ” the world doesn’t owe you S#@.!!! laws are what separates us from animals. if you can be a law avoiding citizen you get what you deserve. plain n simple.!!

    • Listen and do as you are told?! When someone is reaching for a wallet and gets murdered “when he was doing what he was told” which was to show ID, why did he get murdered? People should walk a mile in a minority persons shoes for a day and then maybe you would experience the discriminatory acts for yourself. And, when someone is clearly not disobeying the law and gets frisked and accosted frequently just for being black, what is your answer to that? Evidently you assume that ALL black people commit crimes! I guess your ignorance is bliss… smh

    • Liz….LOL…you must not be a person of color…you are stopped because you’re BLACK..you are told to shut up…you can remain still as a statueand they still will abuse you and kill you

      • John C Harrison -look him up, there is a video….stupid ignorant, like I said. And that’s just 1 of thousands if not millions who try to overcome authority. People only post what they want the public to see.

  8. 1. Recent fatal police shootings of career criminals. Black, white, brown,, yellow, purple.
    2. Resisting authority, disregarding orders, reaching for their guns and shot for it.
    3. Taught at a young age to fight, resist, disrespect.
    There’s nothing to protest here except the slaughter of 5 decent family men doing their jobs.

      • Sandra Bland killed herself, unless of course I can intrest you in a tinfoil hat.

        • After being arrested and incarcerated for pretty much nothing. If you are going to make a stand for “righteous law enforcement” I’d pick a different case.

          As to whether she killed herself or not, that’s what the obviously righteous police who investigated themselves arrived at, so no doubt that’s what happened. It doesn’t take a tin foil hat to say “there are no reliable facts in the matter.”

      • Philandro was an armed robbery suspect, reaching for his gun, while the officer was screaming “I told you not to move your hands!”
        Each officer has to make a life and death decision in half a second. I would always believe officers over the words of thugs and career criminals. Always.
        There’s no such thing as white privilege. According to the FBI, more whites are shot by police than blacks but blacks proportionately commit more crimes than whites.

        • The officers thought he was an armed robbery suspect. He was by all reports, a CCW holder who was licensed to have the weapon he had. The officer royally screwed himself when he shot.

        • Thats a lie no he was not he didnt even have a criminal record and he had a ccw. The cop told philando for his id and registration and that incompetent cop shot him. Its sick how YOU people are trying to criminalize this man. Name all these whites getting killed by police too DesertQueen I wanna hear em. And blacks committing more crimes is attributed to socio economic issues like poverty.

          • Poverty…. Yes, have you asked urself why? They choose to do crimes instead of going to go get an education or a job… So they cause their own Economic issues. How is that any one else’s fault.

        • The police ASSUMED that he was an armed robbery suspect. I hope both of the cops get FIRED and charged with murder for shooting an innocent man. Why would Philandro shoot at cops in front of his 4 year old daughter and fiance/girlfriend? His girlfriend explained that he was licensed to carry a gun!! It is sad that some cops can hide behind badges and their authority as law enforcement and use extreme force to cause someone to lose his/her life.

          • They won’t get fired, and won’t get charged with murder becuase police investigate their own, and never find them guilty.

            The Chiefs of police are not doing anything to get rid of their thugs with badges and nothing i going to change if they keep turning a bling eye to the problem.

          • Before we pass judgement, lets see the facts, all the facts.

            Remember “Hands up, dont shoot”

      • Philando had robbed a store at gunpoint just days prior. Does that qualify as a criminal. He had no CCW and had a handgun on him. Hmmmmmm

        • Well, no. If you subscribe to “they all look alike” then someone who looked just like him had robbed a store at gunpoint. Fortunately, except for you and apparently far too many cops “they all look alike” has been recognized as a truly grotesque concept.

          • Philando was never a robbery suspect. I don’t know who was spreading this lie. Thanks for the link.

          • Wanted for armed robbery? No.

            Matching a suspect description and stopped for that? Yes.

          • Of course Falco is also one of those supporting “they all look alike” so “matched the description” works fine for him too. Nothing new there.

        • After reading a press release from the police about the shooting of Philando. I believe Philando had his gun in his lap and he kept moving his hands towards his gun. The officer had to tell Philando to not move his hands on several occasions. No officer will ask for a CCW or ID before securing any weapon. The officer had no choice but to shoot Philando after his commands were ignored. The officer knew he had a gun because it was in view of the officer.
          It is unfortunate that this shooting happened. I don’t think Philando had any intention to shoot the officer. His girlfriend was not entirely honest in her video on the events that took place. I don’t trust her as to the true story of what had happened before the shooting.

          • *After reading a press release from the police*… that’s the problem right there! smh

          • The department has a right to release their side of the story. All I see are lies and innuendo being said by the Black Lives Matter people. It is logical how it went down after seeing the officers side of the story. I believe this officers story on the events took place. Why people don’t follow an officers commands while they have a gun pointed at them is very confusing to me. It happens all the time.

          • Actually, it doesn’t “happen all the time.” We see the results when something out of the ordinary happens. What does happen all the time is that black people are pulled over for no reason, offered a view up a gun barrel if they don’t immediately go way out of their way to present as meek and docile a front as a human being can present, and then treated to abuses that most white people can’t even imagine having to tolerate.

            I use the screen name Tim Scott. There is a well known public figure named Tim Scott. He is regularly pulled over by DC police for the apparent crime of being a black man near the national capitol. Seven times, to date. He is threatened and abused like any black man…until he can get across that he is a member of THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

            Black COPS, when they are out of uniform, are afraid of cops.

            A black surgeon, who treated the casualties in Dallas, acknowledged that he feels abused when he encounters cops, which he frequently does because “a black man in a nice car” is apparently automatically a suspect of some sort.

            The dismissal “well all these complainers are just criminals” is simplistic and demonstrably false…yet so many people accept it? Why?

          • John, DesertQueen, Liz, WorkingJoe, TellTheTruth and those like you are going to twist reality and believe what you will and there is little hope of taking off any of your blinders. You “believe” he had his gun in his lap, but there was no gun in his lap in the video, but I imagine you’ll say his girlfriend could have moved it before she started recording, but then why wouldn’t the cop shoot the girlfriend for moving the gun???? FACTS I’m sure you or none of those who refuse to look at reality like you, don’t have time to deal with.

          • The suspect was described as “a black man with shoulder-length dreadlocks, who wore tan pants, tan shoes with white soles, a green jacket, a green baseball cap and glasses, the release says. He also had some of his hair pulled into a bun through the strap on the back of his hat and had a small mustache and facial hair on his chin.”
            That came directly from the store clerk and from the surveillance video. It’s not a “they all look alike”, it’s a detailed description that matches Castille and thus reason for a stop.

            CCW classes specifically teach you that when you carry a firearm, during a traffic stop you need to inform the officer while keeping your hands in plain view. Never ever reach for anything until instructed to by the officer. The girlfriend stated that he told the officer he had a gun and THEN started reaching for the ID. Her own words practically exonerate and corroborate the officer who can be heard saying “I told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand out”.

            Lastly, his girlfriend says on the video that there’s some weed in the car. Her other Facebook videos show her smoking weed while driving with her child in the backseat. If Mr. Castille has a loaded firearm, permit or not, while driving around with some weed, that’s a felony.

            It may be the reason he was nervous and not completely compliant and trying to quickly get ID to get the officer on his way…quickly.

          • I’m so glad the officer was able to spot the color of his shoes as he drove by. Otherwise even Shane would have to admit that the reason he was stopped was because he was black.

          • Dreadlocks, green hat, green jacket, glasses.seems reasonable.all indentified from a distance

          • Anyone hear about the white men getting shot and killed by cops last week? There was twice as many as blacks.

    • You are clearly racist. The shootings of police were wrong and tragic. Doesn’t make murder and abuse of blacks by police right.

  9. Black people are not the only raced muurdered and also being killed by a cop is a small percentage. Do your research people! I am a colored women,I represent the human race. More black men kill each other on the streets then them being killed by cops. How about we all come together as a human race! #alllivesmatter stop segregation,stop with the wite and black.

    • You are a “colored” woman Brandy?!?! FYI, we are not in the 1960s anymore Brandy, you don’t have to call the white man “Masta”, you can stop searching for a water fountain or bathroom marked for the “coloreds” to use, #getyour uncle/auntieTOMassthe f—outahere!!!

  10. I’m proud of the people who protest and in proud of what our shierff Captian said , I’m disappointed in this comment section.

    • Yas thank you. Although I have a job, I was there wearing red white and blue and waving my American flags. All lives matter. Especially police lives.

  12. One thing I find disturbing about the Philando Castile incident is his girlfriends behavior. Instead of trying to put pressure on the wound and stop the bleeding, or using her belt as a tourniquet, she sat there and filmed it for facebook. That speaks volumes about a technology obsessed/addicted generation worried more about likes on social media than real life. I wouldn’t want that woman as a girlfriend!

    • Well the officer did tell her not to move. If she would’ve done so she would’ve probably been shot too.

    • The cop was standing there with the gun in his hand, and just shot the person next to her multiple times for reaching for something. Would you move???????

    • Yeah but in the video they show that the police officer told her she couldn’t move. And her hands had to stay where they were. Plus he was shot 3 times. She would need a lot of hands or material to help cut off circulation to those areas. Plus the cop had the gun pointed between her and the boyfriend .. She already knew he was going to die and she didn’t want to. Plus she was in shock. Different people react differently and probably tried to hold it together for their daughter who witnessed all of that. I’m just saying.

    • Thank-you!!! I am glad I am not the only one who realized that! Social media is over rated, too many people put it first, very sad!!Have the info on social media is a lie or fake!!

      • But in this case it was real, if incomplete. Wish there was earlier footage. From what I have heard he told the officer he had a gun, which combined with the officers already suspicious and not well trained mindset was a disaster.
        I was told to simple hand the officers your ID, permit and registration and leave hands on steering wheel. No need to voice you have a gun, they will ask where it is once they see the permit. The permit tells them you are legal up to that point at least…

  13. Time for those who can and havent already to save themselves, move to where there are fewest government assistance programs. Stay away from any built up urbanized areas. The more fancy it seems, the less attractive it should look for selection.

  14. To HELL WITH. The blm
    . Get off of welfare and go get a damn job

    When you’re killing each other everyday.
    Blacks killing blacks you people are a disgrace to each other

    • So misinformed so ignorant. Wtf does welfare have to do with wanting [removed] justice overzealous trigger happy cops

    • The problem is… Jobs are not easy to get, I think they need to make it a law to give people JOB. Our complaining about people getting $ 200.00 a month from welfare is insane. WOW, why dont you give them a job?? The system dont want them to go to work, because they want them in jail, so they can make $70,000.00 a year off each inmate. I bet they wouldn’t be in jail if there was more opportunities, and JOBS!!.

      • Go to school get a degree, a career, not hard at all , people are lazy and are comfortable with that lifestyle, it’s sad to see potential in people but no motivation….

        • Great. It’s not hard at all. So, here’s a question.

          Just what do you think happens if everyone does it?

          If everyone got a degree, got a “career” (however you are defining that so that it excludes all the people who just get up and go to work at jobs you think are beneath your contempt) where would society be?

          Here’s a hint…these beneath contempt mere jobs that aren’t “a career” and thus are called ‘just stepping stones’ that really don’t even need to pay someone enough to live…they outnumber these “real career” jobs TWO TO ONE. So just what happens if EVERYONE gets themselves qualified for that one third of the jobs, and agrees with you that all those “not really a career” jobs are just too contemptible to do?

          Here’s a dose of economic reality…the vast majority of the population actively needs those people doing those jobs that you think are beneath contempt far more than they actually need most of the people doing their “career” job. That’s why there are so much more of those jobs. Not knowing what you do I can’t say for sure, but there is a very good chance that you are far more expendable than the people behind the counter at Taco Bell, from my point of view.

      • Speak properly. No tattoos. Dress respectfully. Get educated. I haven’t seen 10 people I could hire in my business.

      • Now come on they wouldn’t work even if it was offered to them I rather be smoking blunt

      • It’s not easy but there is jobs problem is no one wants to drive down below and you gotta look at it like this a job down below is a job out in the AV you not gonna find nothing

  16. Was Rex there handing out his hit mailers that called African American US military veteran Johnathan Ervin a gang candidate?

    • The mayor of Lancaster rarely shows up for anything because he doesn’t really love here. He lives at his beach mansion in Newport most of the time.

  17. These people are complete morons. When law enforcement tells you to do something you do it, YOU DON’T RESIST. Nobody has ever avoided arrest by resisting. If you listen you will have your day in front of the judge.

    • Smh how ppl think u can have a video and still don’t see nothing wrong grow up .
      If they wasn’t black and acting like that they will trying everything else before pulling out a gun but blacks get gun 1st it’s right there for you to see .

      • Exactly ! If your told to do something by police , don’t be a dick or try to be a bad ass…just comply. They tell you what to do for your safety and theirs. If you act like an ass or give them attitude ,you get what you deserve.

          • Well aren’t you just dripping with class. Is name calling making you feel big? Because the road goes both ways, or should I go there and give back what you are giving?

          • You are a wonderful speaker. What an incredible way to articulate your point.

            Well done, not a single person would question your intelligence after such a thought provoking statement.

          • This is exactly why racism won’t end, cuz of comments like this, no matter what race, it continues everywhere cuz people don’t really understand the ” history” of it all …

          • So Lisa Marie has to make a racial remark.

            It’s not right but Lisa Marie you must be Latino so hopefully you will be remove from California.
            With the help of Trump

        • Yep, highly agree, just so happens that these particular cases involved black males, so of course people are outraged…..and there are many cases where it does involve another race or sex, but of course it’s not in the news!!!! They leave those stories out!!!!

          • Well the FACT that UNARMED blacks are killed by police at a rate 20 times higher makes it easy to find “these particular cases…Again though I realize I am wasting my breathe because you are set in your views and don’t have time for FACTS and LOGIC…

    • Like at that standoff at the Malheur wildlife refuge. Every one of those guys should have been shot, not just the one who drew on the FBI at the roadblock. You don’t resist.

      • Wow , I can’t believe how ignorant everyone is. If you haven’t noticed the whole reason we are protesting is because innocent blacks are being killed for NO REASON not because a white person killed a black or whatever dumb ass thought yall have that have you motivated to be ignorant. It’s clear yall want to justify the police actions like they are right and it is also clear that you hard to be a cold hearted , selfish individual. Let me guess , yall are voting for Trump right ? . Smh.

        • Innocent people of all colors are being killed by police, however the numbers aren’t as high as the media would like you to think. Something around 4-5% of people shot by police are unarmed.

          In some cases the police are right for shooting a person. If you fight with a cop while carrying a gun, things aren’t going to end well. If you point a gun at a cop, things aren’t going to end well. If you advance on a cop not complying and have your hands hidden, things aren’t going to end well. All these things are well known yet people continue to do them and the people piss and moan about the results.

          The cases like Walter Scott and Philando Castile, the officers need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

          • this white guy pointed a gun at cops and wasnt shot, nor were the cliven bundy followers shot at. Why is that Jason? Seems whites can point guns at cops and get arrested and face their day in court but Blacks cannot.

        • Yes millions of black people are killed everyday by other black people…. Start in your own neighborhood before you call foul on the police. Use your brain people!!!
