Korryn Gaines - Say her name

[MrScorpio]

Black Lives Matter.

1. I have a lot of issues with police conduct

But this woman was pointing a shotgun at the cops and threatened to kill them. She fired several rounds after they shot one at her. Then they killed her. Suicide by cop.

I do feel sorry for her five year old boy, who suffered a non-life-threatening wound.

2. Cops also lie

I'm not accepting their narrative for one second.

3. Let's see where this goes

If there's an indication that the police are fabricating any aspect of this, then heads should roll. If it went down as the police say it did, then they shouldn't shoulder the blame.

[MrScorpio]

4. Even WHEN they've murdered people, heads rarely roll when they're cops

This woman was rightfully afraid that the cops were out to kill her... Her fears were realized.

7. Her fears became a self-fulfilling prophecy

8. That tends to happen when you shoot at police officers

11. Tends to happen as well when one doesn't shoot at police officers.

I'll say her name, Korryn Gaines was a horrible horrible parent.

9. She thought it was perfectly okay to drive around with cardboard license plates?

That makes her either crazy or stupid, not a militant or a martyr.

The traffic stop was legit, the cops would have come to her house anyway because they also had a warrant for her boyfriend, driving is not an inalienable right, and she DID have the option of GOING to court.

Joanna Chesimard, she ain't -- she's barely Lauryn Hill.

10. To all:

What was it about traffic infractions that seems to earn black people the death penalty?

Because that's what I'm hearing from some here.

[Travis_0004]

12. It has nothing to dp with a traffic stop

She disnt show up for court and when the police came to her house she pointed a gun at them.

13. Why didn't they call her

On her cell phone and negotiate with her?

[rbrnmw]

14. if she was white they probably would have

they seem to negotiate with white folks and, white folks seem to live through their armed interactions with police
