    That'll teach you to call the police after you've been shot.

    The police were only relieved of their duties. No accountability for shooting first and asking questions later. I guess the police forgot to sprinkle some shabu dust on them.

    Same sick thing as in the US. Few days ago in the news again about an US policeman killing an innocent person.

    Then why the need for organizations like "Black Lives Matter"? It would lead one to assume that innocent blacks are being shot and killed by police in the US.

    One shouldn't assume such things. Sure, it happens...but not at the rate some would like you to think it does. There were around 1000 (900-1100 depending on the source) people shot by police in the US in 2016, with no mention if those were justified or not. 232 (ish, depending on sources) of those were black....with 39 of those being unarmed (that doesn't mean the shooting wasn't justified). There were an additional 4 killed by tasers and 9 killed while in police custody (while in jail or on the way there) but it does not say if it was the police or other inmates that did the killing.

    Philippines police killed nearly 6k people in the 6 months that Duterte was president in 2016.....and the US police had an additional 220+ million people to be potentially shooting at.

    The major killer of blacks in the US is black on black shooting in the US. (That number was 7881 for 2016.)
