On July 20, 2012, a mass shooting occurred inside of a movie theatre in affluent Aurora, Colorado. A (WHITE) gunman, dressed in tactical clothing, set off tear gas grenades and shot into the audience with multiple firearms, killing 12 people and injuring 70 others. The sole suspect, James Holmes, was (ARRESTED) outside the cinema minutes later. Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old African-American from Cleveland, was SHOT AND KILLED, for AIMING a toy pellet gun towards pedestrians in a nearby playground. CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE WHITE PPL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also when whites goes on killing sprees, people will say that he's a good kid but he has psychologically problems....but a black person just carrying a gun is a thug, hoodlum, goon or a criminal..
Ronald Austin Mr. Austin, don't forget to add that when a black individual does a crime as you describe, they say that he/she is just acting according to his nature. That, as I know of, was never applied to the action of a white individual committing the same action.
Parker Family Id have to watch the video again but it appeared as if the cops followed no kind of procedure really. and ive had escalation of force training. if they go word somebody had a gun, regardless of age, why did the pull so close up? lemme see, if I was a good, I wouldnt of gotten near the suspect, I would of made my presence known, stayed a safe distance away, and used that loudspeaker and said hey asshole put your gun down before we blow u away. they knew what they were doing, they rolled up on him n shot him. if anything he coulda had his hands in his pockets and been taking them up to put his hands up. cant tell whats what from the vid though. kids are dumb but not that dumb. they didn him wrong
Here's a story for ya: When I was 11 (now 22) me and my friend had stayed up all night playing Socom Navy Seals (great game lol) By 6 in the morning we were sugared up and amped. So we took fake guns/empty paintball guns and ran around a school area (not our school, we were on break), not realizing what we were doing. In less than 20 mins the entire school was surrounded by swat team and officers as we were looking out our window. After the cops found out it was us, they took our toy guns and told us what we had caused. Moral of the story. When your a kid, you do stupid kid stuff not realizing what your doing. This kid was just being.... A kid, and was shot dead for his ignorance. Probably didn't realize what he was doing.
WATCH CBS: he just got a new p d job.... And that was my arguement. you gotta "LOOK INTO IT." Our sense of sight, and the validity of what we are seing DOESN'T END WITH THE EYES... Like DAM BRUH! I'm Hot
It disgust me that immortal technique is still an underground artist and personality. This guy is the type of guy we need as a president. No one tells truth like him.

You can give every excuse in the book,but at the end of the day,that boy shouldn't have been killed! Even the person that called 911 said that it could be a toy gun,so the cop should have took that in consideration before he shot Tamir in cold blood. A'lot of you give excuses saying "Tamir should have known better" he was only a kid! We forget as adults that we've all made mistakes as kids,especially me at 12,but that's the part of maturing as you get older,and learning from your mistakes. This story pisses me off because I was in a similar situation as Tamir,but I was a little younger than him at the time. I'm 27 y/o,and in the mid 90's we use to play with cap guns. One day I was at a friends house,at this particular time my mom was at work,and me and my friend was playing with cap guns on the sidewalk,and one of the neighbors called the the cops complaining about the noise,and that we had guns. A cop pulls up and walks up to us casually,and ask us " if we're the ones making noise with guns",and we said "Yes," he asked if he can see the guns,we pulled them out,he takes my friends gun,pulls the trigger,it made a faint pop,and he starts busting out laughing because the guns weren't even loud. The cop talked to my friends mom,then talked to us,and he said "If you guys are going to play with guns that look realistic,try to play in your yard,or have your parents watch you." He was real koo! He didn't pull out a gun on us,he didn't ask if we're criminals,he knew we're kids that didn't know better,and handle the situation as such. Crazy thing is it was getting dark,and he asked me if my parents were at home,and I told him they're at work,but they should be home pretty soon.Dude offered to take me home,and asked if I wanted him to stay until they get home,I said that's ok,he gave me a dap,then drove off. I will never forget that day,and it pisses me off because the cop could of handled the situation wayyyy better than he did. Tamir was by himself,he wasn't in a gang or with a group of people,he didn't look "Threatening" there's nothing wrong with take precaution,but come on,this kid in no right to have his life taken,and the cop needs to be held accountable for his actions!
This is to ken stark. Thanks a lot for the info. That explains a lot. I really like getting historical knowledge. For some reason black ppl are just different in there own strange way! Bless u ken!!!
if a young white kid was playing with a toy gun in the park they would have ran up on him the same way...however they would have told him to drop the gun...and waited until he did.they would not have pulled the trigger.
In 2007, me (white) and my friend Matt (black) were playing with airsoft guns in an empty parking lot in Clayton, one of the richest parts of Saint Louis. 20 minutes in, 2 police cars stormed the garage, and pulled shotguns on us. We stopped, put our hands up, and tried to explain ourselves. They asked for my gun, and I handed it to them, no problems. When Matt tried to give them his gun, they shoved the shotguns in his face and told him they'd "blow his fucking brains out" if he reached for his gun, and then asked him to give them the gun. Keep in mind we both did the same thing: reach into our pocket for a toy gun, but their reaction was drastically different, probably based on our races.
why dont they do it in rich neighborhoods? because in rich neighborhoods parents dont let their kids run around outside or by a park with a replica gun. because kids in rich neighborhoods, both black and white kids, are smart enough to know not to resist or fight with cops. thats it.
***** you can be outside, just dont be stupid about it and the parents shouldnt let their kids that young run around with replica/"toy" guns outside if its not their backyard.
***** It is the same size and made out of the same materials as the real version of the gun you idiot. You think the cop is going to wait to find out whether its real, or is he going to shoot the idiot reaching for his gun? Use some logic idiot.
Vi Lu You are ignoring the fact that in other countries such as the UK, this simply would not and doesnt not happen. The child did not need to be shot on sight. The american system is so corrupted that people actually think killing in that manner is justified. The odds of the police being in danger were astronomically low, but they are just trained to kill on sight when there is a perceived threat. Its sad and it paves to way for things like this to happen. The america police murder hundreds of people yearly
Allegedly? They have footage of them shooting and killing him..yes he had a fake gun, which made officer shoot him, but the procedures and the way he handled it was totally in the wrong, he should be ashamed to be wearing that badge...
this dude always kickin knowledge. much respects cant nobody say vlad dont be having relevant interviews with relevant individuals. its sorta like how i say about lux liek u cna hate on bot him and immortals music; if you want. At the end of the day respect the message if nothing else
police brutality and racism has and always will exist but you can't assume every cop is that way. its a harsh reality. and also, cops tend to be more corrupt in poor neighborhoods.
***** nationality? i think you mean race. american is a nationality and all races can be american. cops are more corrupt in poor neighborhoods how does that not make sense to you?
Absolutely. The police in the US more often than not use profiling to determine what is and isn't a threat. Cops in poor neighborhoods are significantly more afraid of getting shot by citizens.
As an officer anywhere you have to expect the worst. Lets say that kid just acted like it was fake. How should police know? At that point, if you watched the video it looks to me like he tryed reaching for the gun. When that happens its not cops vs. public it turns into man vs. man. Even if hes a child hes just as capable to murder. At that point you cant take chances, its either kill orbe killed. These police men are trying to make a living and go back to their families.
In my opinion, the major difference is the repercussions a police officer might face. A police officer can stop and frisk 20 poor kids in a poor neighborhood and he might only get 5-6 hits. The same police officer in a middle-class or rich neighborhood can stop and frisk 20 people as well and he might get 5-6 hits, but the chances of one of those 20 people being the son of a friend of the mayor, or the daughter of a well established criminal attorney, are much higher. If you stop somebody who looks homeless in a poor neighborhood, chances are they ARE homeless. If you do the same thing in a middle-class or rich neighborhood you may very well be stopping a millionaire who walks around unshaven and unkempt and likes to dress down to not appear rich. Just one of the factors that goes into this, IN MY OPINION.
WATCH CBS: he just got a new p d job.... And that was my arguement. you gotta "LOOK INTO IT." Our sense of sight, and the validity of what we are seing DOESN'T END WITH THE EYES... Like DAM BRUH! I'm Hot
TheRascal5678 not Even a fact. Kent university study went to 2 distinct neighborhoods in Seattle Washington one white where they sold drugs in an open area and a well off black neighborhood , police still targeted the black neighborhood even though less crime occurred. but I won't kill your racist opinion with facts.
I like his interview it was very correct and well informed from his perspective. But the real issue is who you are, what you look like, and where you come from. All those key components that relate to africans all have devinity from god in it, guaranteed. When you realize that and incorporate it into this evil society the truth will unveil itself to you. Even with this interview Immortal Technique who's probably of a Latino ethnicity from his skin tone and dialect and what he's speaking is the truth and even Vlad agrees. But if you look at a Lord Jamar interview who speaks this same honesty regarding topics like this you won't see Vlad complying to his answers, as much likes on the videos, or a diversity of respectful comments below. Why is this because he's black and this world, country, and society denounces african people but will tolerate them in most cases regarding the hue of their skin.
I don't complain about the problem brosef. I don't give a shit. I got bills to pay, kids to feed. Tech all he does is restate the problem over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
Schoolers (white) in a similar situation, cops were called for their need guns and the police preceded to make a felony stop on the car full of kids, and although the cops guns were drawn they certainly didn't show up shooting or even ticket the kids afterwards.
$175 a month makes NY one of the most expensive cities in the world to live? SERIOUSLY? Cheapest I can find here in the uk in my area is £600 per month, if you're on benefits getting £240 a fortnight, you can't afford it. Quite eye-opening to anyone with half a brain
That's the thing that annoys me about all these cops shootings. When the cop stops you, you don't have a right to do anything irrational out of fear, because you might frighten the officer and they'll shoot you. However, if a cop is scared he has the license to do anything he wants.
Immortal makes some great points. In this country, you have the means to make yourself better than the hometrash around you. All it takes is to remember that you are an individual, separate from your culture. This mother of Tamir gave up on that notion much like those that look at this situation and say, "A black life really aint worth shit out here."
Love this dude like I love Tupac nigga stands for something. Strong brother right here extremely intelligent and is a first generation immigrant from the projects.
I hear u cyfer..the justice of playin with people's lives will never be brought forward because of the ones in these positions that never cared for justice in the first place...just think if the "people" in these positions would care for justice they would have done so a long time ago..We will never win
Alright, coming from some white kid: Hearing this shit really pisses me off. This is actually the first time hearing this specific story, but the events like Michael Brown and etc. this is completely unacceptable. He mentions how people have forgotten that they came to this country too, but I think most people forget (or possibly are too ignorant to understand) that this fucking country has had black slaves longer than we've even been a country. What makes people think that one type of human is better than any other? I don't believe in races. I believe in one race, the human race. And nothing gives anyone the right to kill anyone no matter the color and believe that they can get away with it just because of the fact that they are a different color. This country's judicial system needs to get their shit together or there's gonna be a lot more angry black folks (and this one white kid) that are willing to do something about the problem and not just sit back and watch people getting their life taken for nothing.
Yes its tragic that a 12 year old got shot by the police. But he didn't have the plastic tip of his gun. Yeah the officers reacted way too quick but honestly put yourself in the shoes of the cop. Dispatch didn't tell the cops the gun was probably fake and he reached for his waist when the cops rolled up. I'd be pretty scared if I was that cop. A twelve year old can pull a trigger too. I just think these things are always too one sided. Cops are human, he got scared and reacted.
The whole notion of bail seems inherently fucked to me. In what mindset can paying for freedom make sense? Essentially, the only people who can pay bail are... the born rich, who don't need to commit crimes for money, so are essentially using their wealth to fund criminal habits, or... Those who have accumulated wealth by committing crime consistently. Both of those people will be able to cover bail, the only people that WON'T be able to, are the honest poor. And in some instances, won't those honest poor be motivated to commit crime to be able to get some quick cash any meet bail!? It's basically saying you're fine to commit a crime as long as you can fund the punishment - which is presumably why you have celebrities repeatedly taking class A drugs, and mowing people down behind the wheel and still being free to walk the streets.
I don't know Ohio gun laws, but had this been a regular citizen who had shot Tamir Rice due to self defense, we would've all said the person should be charged with manslaughter. They're cops so the rules change of course. People are ignoring the fact that the person who called the whole thing in was outside and literally sitting a short distance away from Tamir Rice when he reported, if this was a person with a legitimate gun, wouldn't his account have sounded like he was scared, or wouldn't he have ran away lest he get shot? He was more annoyed that frightened. If the caller, from afar, could reasonably see that the gun was probably fake and that it was a child, why is it that cops who are trained to deal with stressful environments were unable to see either at close range? Looking at it, you can just google cops and "water guns" and you'll find out that cops have a long history of killing people with toy guns of all varieties. I even remember hearing these stories as a kid and never taking my super soaker out of my backyard. The fact is that trigger happy cops will shoot you because they are trigger happy. They can confuse a wallet as a gun, an inhaler as a gun, a phone as a gun etc. It doesn't matter, they are trigger happy, they are stressed out and as a citizen you're the one who is supposed to make them feel secure, especially if you live in a dangerous neighborhood.
But he was pointing a gun at people... What is there to discuss? And if someone calls saying oh I "think" it might be fake fuck that it's real until proven otherwise.
Reading comments that would put the blame on any 12 year old child of any race are heartbreaking. Do you really think a child understood the danger from police for having a toy.... you really think white kids in upper class neighborhoods don't play with toy guns look up the game "assassin" played in the burbs by middle and high schoolers (who should have more understanding of the danger if in fact there were any danger to them from police.) In fact yesterday in the news was a story about high
K-Rino or Immortal Technique for President of the USA. Either one would do exactly what needs to be done to make this country what it needs to be. One should be the other ones' vice-president. Brad "Mr. Scarface" Jordan should be Secretary of Defense and KRS- One should be Speaker of the House.
They don't do it in right neighborhood because they don't roam the street causing delinquency. This shit starts in the home. The kid was waiving a very real looking airsoft gun at people and got him killed. Teach your kids and know what they are doing at all times
Of all the fucked up killings lately, this overreaction was most justified. At least the cop had some reason to be scared, but there was a time when cops took cover and waited until they are fired apon, like at hostage situation.
He said minorities are actually the majority. That might actually be true. I mean these statistics can easily be manipulated as he basically said to keep us down.
Some real ass shit R.I.P Andy Lopez Santa Rosa Ca shawooo fuck this bullshit wth tha 5-0 still livin my life but keepin one eye on tha scandolis police
Lets just completely leave out the fact that he pointed the gun at them. Its a life or death decision if you dont know whether the gun is real or fake. What would you do? BLAME THE PARENTS NOT THE POLICE.
I agree they shouldnt have pulled up that close but everything i heard and read said that he aimed the gun at them. If he didnt then they were wrong. Either way the parents are at fault for this.
Well ill take y our word for it anf admit im wrong. I didnt watch the video and i dont plan on it. Its still a child losing his life at the end of the day.
okay, lets stick to the facts. ...the cops were being cops, and the kid was being a KID. yes, the cops are wrong for shooting an innocent boy on the spot. but they were doing their JOB (as cops). As for the boy, Carrying a gun (fake or not) it should not be pointed at peoples faces or at ANYONE!! ...also, the cops didn't care to LISTEN CAREFULLY when they received a call from the person who reported- which means they were trained improperly, & also means that they simply don't give a fuck. it doesn't matter the skin color. its the principle of the situation .
To all the individuals that are making an outlandish statement of the rich neighborhoods not allowing their children to "run" around with a toy gun... Lol.. have you been to a toy store lately??. They sell toy guns there... who do think is buying them as well?... do you honestly believe that these major toy manufacturers and interested in selling their products to poor people or are they more interested in selling the middle and upper class white America that can buy their products... just for
i can agree that class plays an important part in policing but i haven't yet once in my entire life ,(and i am very old), seen an unarmed 12 year old or any age for that matter killed while unarmed and playing in the park when he was white,,,,,or seen an unarmed white teen shot for running from the police ever,,,,and never ever seen a white youth demonized when he even did wrong like the columbine killer he were described in the media repeatedly as a youth who was isolated and troubled, an outcast social but even when a black teen is killed the wagons are circled and every minor infraction like smoking weed is plastered across the media and he is described as a huge treat and powerful and dangerous and animalistic and if even one of you deny this truth you are either wearing blinders or your just as evil as the slave masters whom sold new born black infants as alligator bait and there will arrive a day od reflection in your life that will reveal to you how wicked your heart truly is
Did you even hear what he said? he said if your gonna stand up to a cop about justice and political views then you should probably not be riding dirty or drugs. that's what he meant
Watch the damn video again! Cop nut jocker's talking out their asses, the cop who shot the child who was shorter than his partner driving should of took into account how small the boy was, he very much look's like a child, then listening to the call the accuser said it could be a fake gun, none of this was took into account?
yeah its jus racism most ppl whatever your race jus want opportunities and to live in a good environment and are good ppl if they r not disrespected and left to spoil in a getto environment

Absolutely. The police in the US more often than not use profiling to determine what is and isn't a threat. Cops in poor neighborhoods are significantly more afraid of getting shot by citizens.

The same police officer in a middle-class or rich neighborhood can stop and frisk 20 people as well and he might get 5-6 hits, but the chances of one of those 20 people being the son of a friend of the mayor, or the daughter of a well established criminal attorney, are much higher.
If you stop somebody who looks homeless in a poor neighborhood, chances are they ARE homeless. If you do the same thing in a middle-class or rich neighborhood you may very well be stopping a millionaire who walks around unshaven and unkempt and likes to dress down to not appear rich.
Just one of the factors that goes into this, IN MY OPINION.
Finally some more tech vids
Tech I love you and your opinions..but why are you wearing sunglasses indoors?
Always keeping it 100 since day one
The brothers knowledge is top notch
I love this dude he always pisses off the white supremacists and they lose their ever loving racist minds lol
Candace Glover lol i know...the racists loose their minds
Candace Glover people lose their minds when they realize theyre wrong to an unbelievable extent
WATCH CBS: he just got a new p d job.... And that was my arguement. you gotta "LOOK INTO IT." Our sense of sight, and the validity of what we are seing DOESN'T END WITH THE EYES... Like DAM BRUH! I'm Hot
YESSS! I love forward to Immortal technique interviews more than his music lmao.
Because more crime happens in poorer black areas than it does in rich white neighborhoods? Isn't this just common sense?
TheRascal5678 not Even a fact. Kent university study went to 2 distinct neighborhoods in Seattle Washington one white where they sold drugs in an open area and a well off black neighborhood , police still targeted the black neighborhood even though less crime occurred. but I won't kill your racist opinion with facts.
I like his interview it was very correct and well informed from his perspective. But the real issue is who you are, what you look like, and where you come from. All those key components that relate to africans all have devinity from god in it, guaranteed. When you realize that and incorporate it into this evil society the truth will unveil itself to you. Even with this interview Immortal Technique who's probably of a Latino ethnicity from his skin tone and dialect and what he's speaking is the truth and even Vlad agrees. But if you look at a Lord Jamar interview who speaks this same honesty regarding topics like this you won't see Vlad complying to his answers, as much likes on the videos, or a diversity of respectful comments below. Why is this because he's black and this world, country, and society denounces african people but will tolerate them in most cases regarding the hue of their skin.
the major problem with this guy and most like him. No solutions. Only articulating the problem. Zero SOLUTIONS.
Lets see you come up with a solution.
@Roland Aujero.....So what's your solution? Im listening
I don't complain about the problem brosef. I don't give a shit. I got bills to pay, kids to feed. Tech all he does is restate the problem over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
Roland Aujero So doesn't faded out of existence. When you stop talking about is when you let it take over like you let it do to you.
Damn this was 5 years ago
Schoolers (white) in a similar situation, cops were called for their need guns and the police preceded to make a felony stop on the car full of kids, and although the cops guns were drawn they certainly didn't show up shooting or even ticket the kids afterwards.
$175 a month makes NY one of the most expensive cities in the world to live? SERIOUSLY? Cheapest I can find here in the uk in my area is £600 per month, if you're on benefits getting £240 a fortnight, you can't afford it. Quite eye-opening to anyone with half a brain
Samaria Rice needs to talk about her criminal background. She's on probation right now and on bond.
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTIST.
Same thing happend to a white kid..... He was 14 and i live in md........ NEVER MADE THE NEWS🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
That's the thing that annoys me about all these cops shootings. When the cop stops you, you don't have a right to do anything irrational out of fear, because you might frighten the officer and they'll shoot you. However, if a cop is scared he has the license to do anything he wants.
That shirt is fire!!! Is that red pill and blue pills line?
Immortal makes some great points. In this country, you have the means to make yourself better than the hometrash around you. All it takes is to remember that you are an individual, separate from your culture. This mother of Tamir gave up on that notion much like those that look at this situation and say, "A black life really aint worth shit out here."
Love this dude like I love Tupac nigga stands for something. Strong brother right here extremely intelligent and is a first generation immigrant from the projects.
Ummm😕…his fashion's not my favorite but, on words he does have really good valid point of views.
I wonder what kind of sunglasses are those
@MarkPagan you've never had ANYTHING in your life that resembled a gun right? Not a squirt gun, not a pellet gun, not a b.b. Gun right?
I hear u cyfer..the justice of playin with people's lives will never be brought forward because of the ones in these positions that never cared for justice in the first place...just think if the "people" in these positions would care for justice they would have done so a long time ago..We will never win
WRONG.. it is because rich people in rich neighborhoods aren't walking around waving guns at people.
Were in a capitalistic society...First comes money, then power, then respect...Unfortunately that is how it is - sucks!
Alright, coming from some white kid:
Hearing this shit really pisses me off. This is actually the first time hearing this specific story, but the events like Michael Brown and etc. this is completely unacceptable. He mentions how people have forgotten that they came to this country too, but I think most people forget (or possibly are too ignorant to understand) that this fucking country has had black slaves longer than we've even been a country. What makes people think that one type of human is better than any other? I don't believe in races. I believe in one race, the human race. And nothing gives anyone the right to kill anyone no matter the color and believe that they can get away with it just because of the fact that they are a different color. This country's judicial system needs to get their shit together or there's gonna be a lot more angry black folks (and this one white kid) that are willing to do something about the problem and not just sit back and watch people getting their life taken for nothing.
Wow that is a sick fucking get-up.
What about Chicago.
real talk bro
Because the rich neighborhoods aren’t CRAWLING with gang activity, etc name anything crime you want to mention
Yes its tragic that a 12 year old got shot by the police. But he didn't have the plastic tip of his gun. Yeah the officers reacted way too quick but honestly put yourself in the shoes of the cop. Dispatch didn't tell the cops the gun was probably fake and he reached for his waist when the cops rolled up. I'd be pretty scared if I was that cop. A twelve year old can pull a trigger too. I just think these things are always too one sided. Cops are human, he got scared and reacted.
Fine, but he should also be put in jail and the fact that everyone who has done things like these has not been sentenced for murder is the issue.
i am done in this topic because as the scriptures say:,"reprove a fool and he will hate you"
The whole notion of bail seems inherently fucked to me.
In what mindset can paying for freedom make sense? Essentially, the only people who can pay bail are... the born rich, who don't need to commit crimes for money, so are essentially using their wealth to fund criminal habits, or... Those who have accumulated wealth by committing crime consistently. Both of those people will be able to cover bail, the only people that WON'T be able to, are the honest poor.
And in some instances, won't those honest poor be motivated to commit crime to be able to get some quick cash any meet bail!?
It's basically saying you're fine to commit a crime as long as you can fund the punishment - which is presumably why you have celebrities repeatedly taking class A drugs, and mowing people down behind the wheel and still being free to walk the streets.
I don't know Ohio gun laws, but had this been a regular citizen who had shot Tamir Rice due to self defense, we would've all said the person should be charged with manslaughter. They're cops so the rules change of course.
People are ignoring the fact that the person who called the whole thing in was outside and literally sitting a short distance away from Tamir Rice when he reported, if this was a person with a legitimate gun, wouldn't his account have sounded like he was scared, or wouldn't he have ran away lest he get shot? He was more annoyed that frightened. If the caller, from afar, could reasonably see that the gun was probably fake and that it was a child, why is it that cops who are trained to deal with stressful environments were unable to see either at close range?
Looking at it, you can just google cops and "water guns" and you'll find out that cops have a long history of killing people with toy guns of all varieties. I even remember hearing these stories as a kid and never taking my super soaker out of my backyard. The fact is that trigger happy cops will shoot you because they are trigger happy. They can confuse a wallet as a gun, an inhaler as a gun, a phone as a gun etc. It doesn't matter, they are trigger happy, they are stressed out and as a citizen you're the one who is supposed to make them feel secure, especially if you live in a dangerous neighborhood.
Looked real up close.
More people should speak up on black on black crime and latin on latin crime. Thats a problem as well we have to unite.
But he was pointing a gun at people... What is there to discuss? And if someone calls saying oh I "think" it might be fake fuck that it's real until proven otherwise.
Such a smart guy, but it's so hard to take anybody seriously when they're wearing fucking sunglasses indoors to do an interview.
Tell them Tech!!
Reading comments that would put the blame on any 12 year old child of any race are heartbreaking. Do you really think a child understood the danger from police for having a toy.... you really think white kids in upper class neighborhoods don't play with toy guns look up the game "assassin" played in the burbs by middle and high schoolers (who should have more understanding of the danger if in fact there were any danger to them from police.) In fact yesterday in the news was a story about high
K-Rino or Immortal Technique for President of the USA. Either one would do exactly what needs to be done to make this country what it needs to be. One should be the other ones' vice-president. Brad "Mr. Scarface" Jordan should be Secretary of Defense and KRS- One should be Speaker of the House.
They don't do it in right neighborhood because they don't roam the street causing delinquency. This shit starts in the home. The kid was waiving a very real looking airsoft gun at people and got him killed.
Teach your kids and know what they are doing at all times
Of all the fucked up killings lately, this overreaction was most justified. At least the cop had some reason to be scared, but there was a time when cops took cover and waited until they are fired apon, like at hostage situation.
He said minorities are actually the majority. That might actually be true. I mean these statistics can easily be manipulated as he basically said to keep us down.
Some real ass shit R.I.P Andy Lopez Santa Rosa Ca shawooo fuck this bullshit wth tha 5-0 still livin my life but keepin one eye on tha scandolis police
I agree with this man.
Thank you for your needless opinion
I want to see Tech rap about the Boule society. Wait for it.....
Thumbs up, if I wasn't the only one at 5.56! Haha
Is immortal really wearing a fake versace shirt from Ross right now?
johnkeem103 nah great interview but that just threw me off
johnkeem103 was gunna write the same thing but in not in those words. It's a dope shirt tho.
johnkeem103 is he not telling the truth?
Wait you know that means you be at Ross too tho
cuz I seen that too
Martin Talab I buy underwear and plain shirts at ross, good prices!
WORD...!!!
Lets just completely leave out the fact that he pointed the gun at them. Its a life or death decision if you dont know whether the gun is real or fake. What would you do? BLAME THE PARENTS NOT THE POLICE.
He didnt point the gun a them. They shot him when he lifted his shirt, not to mention why did they pull up so close to a supposedly armed suspect?
I agree they shouldnt have pulled up that close but everything i heard and read said that he aimed the gun at them. If he didnt then they were wrong. Either way the parents are at fault for this.
And im not saying they werent wrong but if somebody aims a gun at you what would you do?
Dalton Madden whoever said he aimmed the gun at them were wrong, since the video showed him being shot when he lifted his shirt.
Well ill take y our word for it anf admit im wrong. I didnt watch the video and i dont plan on it. Its still a child losing his life at the end of the day.
okay, lets stick to the facts.
...the cops were being cops, and the kid was being a KID.
yes, the cops are wrong for shooting an innocent boy on the spot. but they were doing their JOB (as cops). As for the boy, Carrying a gun (fake or not) it should not be pointed at peoples faces or at ANYONE!!
...also, the cops didn't care to LISTEN CAREFULLY when they received a call from the person who reported- which means they were trained improperly, & also means that they simply don't give a fuck. it doesn't matter the skin color. its the principle of the situation .
People had real guns pointed at cops in the bundy ranch but that's not of my business
To all the individuals that are making an outlandish statement of the rich neighborhoods not allowing their children to "run" around with a toy gun... Lol.. have you been to a toy store lately??. They sell toy guns there... who do think is buying them as well?... do you honestly believe that these major toy manufacturers and interested in selling their products to poor people or are they more interested in selling the middle and upper class white America that can buy their products... just for
i can agree that class plays an important part in policing but i haven't yet once in my entire life ,(and i am very old), seen an unarmed 12 year old or any age for that matter killed while unarmed and playing in the park when he was white,,,,,or seen an unarmed white teen shot for running from the police ever,,,,and never ever seen a white youth demonized when he even did wrong like the columbine killer he were described in the media repeatedly as a youth who was isolated and troubled, an outcast social but even when a black teen is killed the wagons are circled and every minor infraction like smoking weed is plastered across the media and he is described as a huge treat and powerful and dangerous and animalistic and if even one of you deny this truth you are either wearing blinders or your just as evil as the slave masters whom sold new born black infants as alligator bait and there will arrive a day od reflection in your life that will reveal to you how wicked your heart truly is
So don't have a political opinion just because you got a pound of weed in the trunk? That's some East Coast thinking right there yo.
Did you even hear what he said? he said if your gonna stand up to a cop about justice and political views then you should probably not be riding dirty or drugs. that's what he meant
Truth!
His Rayban's big. Good word of wisdom from this dude as well.
Watch the damn video again! Cop nut jocker's talking out their asses, the cop who shot the child who was shorter than his partner driving should of took into account how small the boy was, he very much look's like a child, then listening to the call the accuser said it could be a fake gun, none of this was took into account?
CRIMINAL JUSTICE system
yeah its jus racism most ppl whatever your race jus want opportunities and to live in a good environment and are good ppl if they r not disrespected and left to spoil in a getto environment
Lets throw the Race card away....
Love Immortal
The record I grew up in a rich neighborhood and we ran around playing cops and robbers and cowboy and indians with a toy guns...
+david Maldonado right, people forget what it was like to be 12...
david Maldonado bit he pulled the orange cap
COME BACK ON THE JOE ROGAN PODCAST!!!!!!!
Don't pop shit when you ridin' dirty! Whooo!
