I have come to typically feel a lot of left leaning channels especially on YouTube such as Indisputable with Rashad Richey need to rethink their strategy.
If a police officer arrests and uses force in the process of an arrest and the guy turns out to be a drug dealer my opinion is don't defend these people. They are criminals.
We can't just defend every person simply on the basis that they are black. By all means police need to make arrests in a civil manner and not use excessive force. I'm not arguing against that.
However people shouldn't be dealing, using or in anyway involved with illegal drugs.
I just have a hard time defending anyone who puts themselves in that situation. My reason is it paints a negative stereotype of all black people.
If you do drugs, deal drugs and then the police shows to arrest you and you run, resist and aren't compliant then you get what you get.
By defending these criminals it weakens the argument when we need to defend someone like Philando Castile, George Floyd and John Crawford whom were completely innocent of any crime and were murdered nevertheless.
We can't just defend every person the way that Rashad Richey does. If they are guilty of a crime they need to be arrested and if they resist and it turns out badly then the consequences are what are.
