For what it's worth, headphones are not an excuse for anything . You wear them at your own risk. You can't drive with them in California, and you have to have one ear open when riding a bike. An emergency situation can arise at any time out in public where people in the vicinity will need to pay attention and follow instruction. If some idiot's sitting there bobbing his head with his ear buds in and some cop has to grab him and throw him out of the way of first responders, so be it. So, if a cop issues commands and you can't hear him because of your ear buds, you're shit out of luck. All the more reason for people to keep their volume low enough to where they can hear what's going on in the world around them. What's next, a guy doing simulated skiing on his Google Glass walks right into traffic and gets run over, and it's the car's fault for not recognizing he was using Google Glass?
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

So he deserved to be shot for wearing headphones, or the crime of being White? If wearing headphones justified police shootings, a million people would be dead, yet that is not the case, so you have no valid point to argue. Try again. You'll fail again, but try, you need to be kept busy.

[quote=OakAsFan]Your only point is a weak argument that white people are targeted by police the way black people are, yet the only examples you can offer are ones where white people were acting stupid and practically begging to be shot. [/quote
No, I gave examples where they were not fighting cops, grabbing tasers, or waving machetes. Also they were committing no crimes most times (except the wearing headphones while White, a crime to you). Unlike the ones where Black men with 20-30 arrests ( A wonderful person in their community) are resisting violently, I gave passive examples, You see the difference, but in your frustration are trying to avoid it. It's there, in your face, so face it. You'll feel better.

He refuse to comply and was defiantly walking backwards. He was white too, a crime to you. He was walking forwards till he turned and saw a man with gun, he took a few steps back, a natural reaction. Refrain from trying to define me as a bigot. I'm not the one starting multiple threads with a bias agenda to pass off for venting about something that's not affecting my life immediately. You obviously not paying attention to video; The officer clearly said take your hand out of your pocket and the dude walking backwards said "No Foo". PAY ATTENTION! Enough with this BS.

Yes, he deserved to be shot for wearing headphones. You wear headphones at your own risk. If a cop gives orders and you can't hear them because you're listening to Taylor Swift, you're screwed. Play by the big boy rules and teach your children well. Don't know what else to tell you. I'm glad you said this, I'll leave it for anyone else to comment on what you are saying, you just proved my point. No joke, I honestly can't believe you got him to actually say it. Funny how he only says this when white folks are involved though, but we're getting somewhere.
