People like you don't make me sick, just uncomfortable because it's impossible to have a normal conversation with you. You're just putting labels on everyone you disagree with, like you calling me racist when I never even mentioned race, never even thought of it. I'm not part of your culture, I have no reason to be racist towards black people. There are thousands of cases when the police shot white people in US doing dumb shit and even "because they felt threatened". And you're not calling it hate crime. Maybe the cop in question was racist, I don't know. I'm just saying there's more to the story, that's all. And judging people over a comment on the internet, I'm sorry, but maybe I'm not the one with "a lot to unpack"

You're almost reading my comment correctly, only being a bit too emotional. There was no story provided in the post, and no link to an article, so I had to google it. The post was intentionally hiding the details I think, and I just provided some context also using quotes to express some of my thoughts, which made you mad. I don't condone the police. I think the American police are very dangerous, especially if you confront them and they are almost always not held accountable for their actions. I also think these details provide some context why this happened the way it did. Running away from cops with your child in the car is completely reckless in my opinion. If she didn't steal anything and had a receipt, even more so.

I'm telling you my first hand experience in central Russia. There are clearly fuel shortages today, with multiple gas stations I went through having no fuel, or having exuberant prices. I think it's short term also partly because of the media coverage and people buying fuel in advance. In Crimea there were reports of a kilometre queues of people waiting at gas stations to refuel. And they had to introduce quotas of 30 liter per person maximum

I will. I in no way justify the cops and I think it's a tradegy. I also think the headline was knowingly misleading, hence I thought I'd provide some context. I don't know all the details and neither do you, so we can only speculate, but IMO she was too reckless and put her child in danger, knowing how dangerous it is to run from cops in America. In no way do I support the American police system. I'm also not a 100 % Marxist if it makes any difference.
