A police officer in Chicago is being charged in the killing of a 17 year old named Laquan McDonald. After a reporter filed a FOIA request the dashcam video was finally released. It’s pretty clear as day that the shooting was not justified and charges are more than appropriate:
I don’t know the first thing about police training or anything like that, but I’m pretty sure in the academy that they don’t treat you to shoot people who are walking away from you. So yea, this is a legitimate reason for people to be upset, particularly because it took over a year for charges to be brought against the officer.
But like we’ve said a million times before, the outrage is pretty selective. Chicago is basically a third world country. A million people get shot there every day and the only one that people seem upset about is the one where a cop pulled the trigger.
Anyway, there’s a 16 year old kid going around Chicago for the last few days staring down every cop he sees:
Apparently he asks them all, “are you gonna shoot me 16 times?” Nah dude, wasn’t planning on it. I kind of think you want me to because you apparently thrive on being a victim. But I’m just a nice guy trying to do his job and protect your community from savages. Why don’t you give me a break and redirect your anger to someone who has actually wronged you?
He’s a genuine bad ass though. Really brave guy. His name is Lamon Reccord. And as you can see, he’s obviously accomplishing a lot. One of these extremely awkward and uncomfortable confrontations was aired live during Megyn Kelly’s show, and she wasn’t too fond of it:
Is this free speech? Of course. Do I stand up for his right to do this? Definitely. Does it mean he’s still an asshole? Absolutely.
That’s all this is. A gutless, dooshnozzle move that accomplishes nothing. The cop who shot Laquan McDonald is his beef. So go find him and stare him down. Why the hell are you staring down this poor guy? What the hell did he do to you besides protect and serve your community? He could’ve been a cop in any small town he wanted to, but he chose to serve the most dangerous city in America instead.
But hey, total bad ass move on your part. You showed him who’s boss!!
So here’s my question for my man Lamon – do you blame everyone in a profession if someone else who performs that same job commits a crime? Like this salesman who murdered someone. Do you go around staring down every salesman you see? I mean, they’re all murderers right? Or here’s an idea. Aaron Hernandez killed a whole BUNCH of people. What time will you be going down to Soldier Field so you can stare down Jay Cutler and Matt Forte? I mean, they’re in the same line of work as a murderer, so obviously you have to stare them down right?
If I’m this cop right here:
I’m just thinking, dude, what the fuck did I do to you? Why do you hate me? You don’t even know me. I have a wife and a family at home and I’m here right now because they don’t pay me rent. Why anyone wants to be a cop in 2015 is beyond me. This is the type of shit you have to deal with because someone is upset with one of your coworkers.
By the way, I realize that this kid did not deserve to die, and I fully recognize that the officer did not have to shoot him 16 times. But I’m still waiting for the first story that prompts national outrage against police that doesn’t involve the victim committing a crime or running away from the police. Because there are TONS of murder victims out there who weren’t murdered while breaking into cars, slashing tires, and running away from the police. But we never hear about any of them because apparently good ol’ fashioned cut and dry murders aren’t nearly as juicy as a cop acting stupidly in a high pressure situation.

This is what happens when you have a black President of these United States that does not support local, state and federal law enforcement. Liberal dickwads giving a green light to the thugs of the world to create civil unrest, break laws and put peoples’ lives in danger all about a fucked up society that existed 150 plus years ago. A time where no current living human being had anything to do with. Not one.
It is truly time for people of color to represent this country in the oval office no doubt. No dispute. Thinking outside the box – change is good. I get that. America should reflect itself at all levels of government. Just not this current guy. How he got elected then re-elected is beyond me. Obama is doing a disservice each and every time he lets civil unrest and rioting go unchecked thus fueling heightened protests and more riots to the point of violence where the innocent gets harmed. This includes Cops just trying to do their jobs and go home to their families at the end of their shift. And now Cops are dying on the battlefield called the U.S.A. So unnecessary and avoidable.
He could put a stop to this madness. He is a great speaker. He could bring calm where calm is needed. He chooses not to and it puts us all at risk.
This is why Presidents should not be allowed a second term. They become lame ducks and utterly useless riding out the second term until the next election. This is not just an Obama – democratic thing either. George W. was equally useless in his second term. Complacency at that level of public service should not be tolerated.
Watching this video makes me wonder… What type of call were the cops responding to here? Why was he keeping his left hand out of view while his right was in plain sight? Was he being ordered to stop and show both hands? Why was he walking down the middle of the street at night ignoring the cops? It’s easy to Monday morning quarterback someone who has to make a split second life and death decision, but before you get the wrong idea, I’m not defending this cop’s decision to open fire at all. Also, charging him with First Degree Murder just to appease the community might not fly as I’d be surprised if this cop’s sole mission that night was to execute a black man, lose his career, his retirement and his family, and spend the rest of his life in a prison where they love cops. Should he go to prison for this, absolutely! But spare me the “innocent child” references, and now I know why cops are leaving the jobs they love, or are staying and doing the absolute minimum. This has been the goal of the BLM movement since it’s inception, get the police to leave us alone to rape, loot, pillage, and terrorize with impunity while the decent people of every race are held hostage by these thugs. And the politicians and media just keep fanning the flames.
Um, anyone else think this is threatening police? Why wasn’t this thug executed?
I’ll tell you why. BLM has softened the police. 10 years ago someone would have emptied a clip into this baboon.
Was waiting to see who would laugh first but…
I would slap this kid silly if he approached me like that. fuck you lookin at Willis?
Blacks can kill 100 other blacks in one weekend…No one says a word
But a cop (Who should go to jail) shoots a PCP junkie and now its a problem
I would have zero problem with the protests if they gave 2 shits about all the black on black crime just once..just one time!!
They do not see that as a form of racism ??
If that kid really wants to impress me, he’ll stare down the following:
Gang Members that shoot up your neighborhood.
Drug Dealers that poison your community.
Police officials in more despot and authoritarian areas of the world.
Members of ISIS and other radical Muslim extremists.
Until then, he is neither brave, or heroic.
This is one misguided punk. What he is doing is so pathetically stupid. He looks like a moron to the point I laughed at the picture of him staring into the cruiser. Every cop he stares at should cough or sneeze right in his face.
Please mace this little fuck and set the video to the Benny Hill music. The internet needs this today.
What if the tables we turned in a way? I have a neighbor who is a minister and a really great guy. His wife and son are awesome. He is a black man. So, for example, there is a serious felony committed in Worcester by a black man.
Would it be appropriate for me to go over to my neighbors house and stare the minister down because he is black? Just because he is black? How fucking idiotic would that be?
Just sayin.’
Punishment should fit the crime.
Slashing a tire does not warrant shooting, just like any of the other crimes you listed.
Tase them, chase them. But no need to use a firearm. If you can’t keep up, your fault for not being in good enough shape to capture a criminal that could threaten my kids. You’re not staying fit enough for your job.
I do however agree, these other cops had nothing to do with it. This kid is fucking rude for doing what he does. It’s not fair to people that don’t know him, or better yet, that asshole cop that should be in jail from a bar of soap.
The kid was approaching officers wielding a knife, you want him to run at the criminal risking his own life when he also has a wife and kids? Officers are human just like you, he made a rash decision. I agree it was wrong but put yourself in his shoes for a second before passing judgement. This kid was a CRIMINAL on drugs approaching officers, quick decisions have to be made.
He’s only doing it cuz he knows the cops won’t/can’t do anything about it. If he really wanted to make an impact on his community he’d stand up to his local gang members. But we all know how that would turn out, and so does he
You can be sure as you’re born that the cop in the video would have just loved to rough that guy up (who could/would blame him?) but he knew there were too many people and cameras around.
This is a perfect example of hypocrisy! Where are the protests about a white pastor’s wife being brutally murdered in their home by two black murderers? A pregnant Pastors wife was shot in the head in a burglary. Their other baby left alone in the crib. Three black men walked into that house, shot this Pastor’s wife in the head and stole some of their shit.
Where is the outrage for this? Where is the anger because of this? A white cop shoots a black drugged up kid (I am defending it, he should have gone for the knee, not the chest), everyone throws a fucking tantrum. Three black men kill a PREGNANT, WHITE PASTOR’S WIFE and no one does or says shit? Don;t believe me? Here is the story. The story does not mention that they were black. Hmm… http://www.americanbazaaronline.com/2015/11/23/two-men-charged-with-murder-in-shooting-death-of-pastors-pregnant-wife-amanda-blackburn/
Here are a few more examples:
1) Black boy shot riding his bike by a black gang member in Dorchester. It is Dorcester and gangbangers, so my white priviledge says it was the black man (yeah I mean it that way, fuck off if you don’t like it). http://boston.cbslocal.com/2015/05/24/police-investigating-shooting-of-7-year-old-in-dorchester/
2) Black man burns forn BLACK CHURCHES down South: http://bossip.com/1247469/plot-twist-black-man-arrested-for-burning-down-black-churches/
Where is the outrage when a black GANGBANGER shoots an innocent 7 year old riding his bike, visitting Grandma!? Oh no, that’s a black on black thing, no need to protest that shit. Everyone screamed the black church burnings has to be the white man! Oh yeah, racist crime… white men burning down churches. NOPE! It was the BLACK MAN! The minute that came out, people shit the fuck up, didn’t they!? RPG, anyone? anyone? No? No outrage over a black man burning his own people’s churches down? Oh no, keep quiet.
That video brought up a point. Black on Black violence? Oh that is fine. White on Black violence? RACISM! Blacks are so fucking hypocritcal and stupid sometimes. No one stops them, just let them be fucking dumb.
Black people protest their own oppression, that they don’t pull themselves out of, and it is my fault because I am white and cleaned up my act after high school. Blacks need to grow the fuck up, pull themselves out of the ghetto, and fix thier lives. MAYBE THEN they won’t be getting shot by white cops.
Send them back to Africa. See how they like it there where as a woman you are raped, sodomized, beaten, and killed by terrorists. Or when there is no public transportation and you need to haul your black ass, WALKING, to the dirty, rhino water to clean your clothes.
It’s not that it’s white on black violence. It’s that is cop violence that wasn’t uncovered until a year later. You sound moronic. And no, I’m not black- but you’re clear racist you dumb fuck.
There it is. I point out black on black, degend whote on block or black on white and i am racist. Racism is learned… I am learning that as a white, mid 30s, middle class homeowner with a job, who is married to a late 30s, middle class whitean that my White Priviledge means I am automatically racist. Doesn’t matter that I go to church, am close friends with many “minorities”.
Defend, black* autocorrect.
Oh the irony. You’re a whining victim. You also have no understanding of the issues.
Going to church won’t ever make you a good person. Being friends with people of a different racial background than you won’t make you a good person either. You’re racist because you’re telling “blacks” what they need to do while saying we should send them back to Africa to drink rhino water. No cares when normal people, white or black kill eachother because that’s what people do. POLICE officers taking an oath to protect and serve, and then shooting a child 16 times is what is causing the outcry. This isn’t a black or white issue.
It’s an issue where police lie and cover up their tracks.
And I can’t reply to this anymore because my brain hurts from reading your idiotic replies. So when I don’t reply, it’s not because you have proven a point but because I can’t read and respond to any more of your dumb shit.
shut up crybaby
You just made my point, took everything I said how YOU interpreted it, and twisted it! 1) I said if they DON’T like how it is here, send them back to Africa and see how they like it there. Africa vs. America…. Offer a free trip, NONE of them would take it.
2) I fully admitted that this officer was wrong, but protesting officers, treating them like shit, but then ignoring your own inter racial violence is ludacris!
3) I never said going to church made me a good person. I swear, drink, smoke cigarettes, get into fights with close minded people, and apparently bask in White Priviledge.
I don’t need your approval, you can call me whatever the fuck you want. I am one side of the fence, you are on the other. You think I am ignorant, i think you are wrong. Whatever.
We cannot all be right, I just happen to be in this case. You cannot ignore facts. You cannot ignore the fact that BLM is a hypocritical, one sided, racist excuse to be play the oppressed, race card. BLM people are more racist than most people! You care so much about black lives, fix your own inner race violence, then come crying to me about how racist the world is.
Like I said, racism is learned. I helped Syrian refugees through my church find a home and drive them to appointments, so please, keep telling me I am racist and ignorant.
I use my White Priviledge for good. Maybe you should try it too.
It’s not that it’s white on black violence. It’s that is cop violence that wasn’t uncovered until a year later. You sound moronic. And no, I’m not black- but you’re clearly racist you dumb fuck.
the bug eyed stare down boy is racist and you support him. shut up
The problem with this kid is that everyone around him is probably telling him he is a hero, and he’s eating it up. If Lamon truly wanted to be a hero for his community, he’d got get and education and then come back to his community to try and bring positive change. That would be heroic. Instead, he’ll settle for staring down cops and pretending to be a hero, all the while perpetuating the cycle of violence, poverty and racial tension.
He needs attention. They all need attention now. Who can scream the loudest, cry the loudest, who can be the biggest victim. It’s pathetic. I’m an engineering manager who is looking to hire people and I don’t want to hire anyone who has been in college in the last 5 years. They are all wastes of space. They will never contribute anything to society. They require constant positive re-enforcement and validation. I’m only hiring foreign born and educated people at this point – they understand work ethic and self improvement.
That’s as bad as this guy. Don’t judge every recent graduate because of select dumbasses
