Vancouver, Wash.—Tensions boiled over into unrest late Friday following a vigil for a Black man shot and killed by law enforcement in a city near Portland, Oregon, in southwestern Washington state. Mourners gathered in Hazel Dell, an unincorporated area of Vancouver, Washington, where family and friends say Kevin E. Peterson Jr., 21, was shot Thursday night.(Snip) The crowds ultimately fizzled out near the vigil but a group of hundreds of protesters later marched through downtown Vancouver. Windows were shattered, flags were burned and federal agents clothed in riot gear surrounded a building—warning people that trespassing on federal property would be subject to arrest.

Here's an idea: Don't shoot at the police and they probably will not shoot back. What a concept.

Apparently killing a black brandishing a gun or knife while approaching police and not following police orders is illegal, but killing a police officer is ok. Not following the commands of a police officer is ok. Living one's life without regard to rules and laws of society is ok, and expecting everyone else to be ok with this is fine, but seeing this type of behavior and finding it unacceptable is considered racist. Now I understand.

FTA:
"Clark County Sheriff Chuck Atkins said a joint city-county narcotics task force was conducting an investigation just before 6 p.m. Thursday and chased a man into the parking lot of a bank, where he fired a gun at them. A firearm was recovered at the scene, Atkins said."
Shooting at police is highly likely to get you shot and killed. That should be pretty darned obvious. If you shoot at me, just an ordinary person, expect the same.
Unrest because they support violent criminals? I guess that is their point. This is not OK, and any violence in these "protestors" needs to be stopped quickly with force.

It almost seems like the left is sending out these black criminals to be killed to keep the violence going.

The shooting was clearly justified. Predictably, the AP buried the circumstances of the shooting in paragraph 9.

Oh God here we go again. Another excuse to gather the troops and burn and loot. You know Obamas army is ready for their marching orders.
Is there anyway we can stop them from communicating outside of shutting down the internet for a couple of days?

FTA: Family and friends had described Peterson as a former high school football player and the proud father of an infant daughter.
Another church-going choir boy who was so talented and charismatic that he could carry a football with one hand and father a child with his only other useful appendage.No mention of a beautiful Mrs. Peterson. He was also a member of the Vancouver Young Entrepreneur Society for his creation of a successful multi-layer marketing business.

Enough already you shoot at police you will be shot at also. Eventually you will die due to your stupidity.

"Family and friends had described Peterson as a former high school football player and the proud father of an infant daughter." Wow----quite an epitaph for a 21 year old man. [NOT] Wonder if he was married to "baby mama."

#14, if he was married, he'd be in a tiny, tiny fraction these days in that group.

White silence is violence? How about if bLACK people start behaving like everyone else in this country. They've been demographically displaced by Hispanics, who seem to function fine in society despite not even being US citizens in many cases. How about not selling narcotics in parking lots. And if caught, don't brandish a handgun at he police. Also, do people like living this way? Put down the stupid signs and vote Republican.
