(16,286 posts)easy for me as a white guy to just get angry about this, but if I am a Black person I am scared that I will be killed, any day

(30,439 posts)Perhaps he would still be alive today.
Roof massacres 9 unarmed people and yet he's treated with kid gloves.
White privilege anyone?

(20,886 posts)Really? He shot and killed nine people, and the cops hold not one gun on him when they apprehended him?
Maybe frisking him three times by three different officers makes up for it.

(18,101 posts)the whole time. He jumped out of the rear car and ran out of frame to the right. He came back into frame, from the passenger side, as Roof was being cuffed. My guess is, he was talking to Roof and the other cops the whole time, while holding his gun on Roof. Roof cooperated.

(3,660 posts)Aren't LEO supposed to take cover behind their cars and order the driver out at gunpoint.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,858 posts)have the crap beaten out of him, or that black suspects so often do? I don't think anybody, even this guy, should be beaten or injured in the course of an arrest. The fact that minority suspects are frequently abused doesn't justify abusing anybody else. The way Roof was arrested is pretty much the way everyone should be arrested.

(7,769 posts)I agree all police abuse is wrong.
In this case, the cops seemed really nonplussed about the whole thing.
I do like the high five when they realized who they got, though.

(9,086 posts)That's really what I got from the video.
Also just the sense of awe about the historic significance of the whole incident and watching it unfold like this.
