Yeah, let's not get into a cop debate. Again, what matters is that someone is having a clear mental breakdown live and we don't know what's happening to them.

Ok, I owe an apology here. REALLY sorry for not being properly informed before speaking. Sorry for being immature.

You can say that but can’t prove it. Is it possible yes? Did they really see the phone? Who knows. They specifically ask to see his hands as they can barely see through the crack of the door. For all they knew if they were racist he had a gun.

But yet they didn’t bust in there. Sure fans tipped them off but whose to say they knew he was streaming still.

Not to mention this looks like an apartment. Cops aren’t about to shoot you a complex and there were likely people nearby watching the cops.

Just because there are racist cops, doesn’t mean they all are. There are still videos were cops are filmed and aggressive. In the end the recording isn’t gonna change their actions if they are truly aggressive. Since we weren’t there and can’t read their minds, we will never know.

I would bet that given the video the cops weren’t about to go light him up if he dropped it though.
Etika said something along the lines of “I’ve got nothing. Just the phone,” so they knew.

It is a mental health condition (they're not referred to as illnesses anymore). Thank you for describing the Psychology 101 definition of a mental disorder in general.

Also, how about instead of playing armchair psychologist we just hope he gets the help he needs; it doesn't matter what he has, just that he needs help. He's human like the rest of us.
Sorry. Perhaps you're right. Again, I apologize for the language barrier, but you're right in the fact that we should hope that he gets help. I'm just genuinely worried for him, so I really don't know what to do.

I'll just pray for him, and pray to our God he gets better (hopefully).

Well, I mean, we don't always need mods to strongarm us into stopping a conversation.

I respectfully asked people to stop, and they did.

That’s way after they showed up though. And you can have a phone and not be recording. When the video starts they didn’t have a full view of the situation inside.

I don't think there's anything that requires a direct intervention, people act reasonable enough. Just remember not to attack other users while discussing things with them.

Yeah instead the mods salaries can fund my future switch purchases because we don’t need them!

thry seem to let **** go wild before steppin in. Like a mom that steps in onl after the kid tips over a shelf in a store
There is already enough depressing **** in the world and I don't want to look into more of it. That's why I don't know anything about it.
this speaks to me which is why I stop my family from talking to me about politics in thr morning

Oh, sure, we'll give the salaries of all the mods directly to you.

Would you like your $0.00 in cash, or deposited into your Paypal?

Never, EVER give a cop the benefit of the doubt when your life can be on the line. You take every single precaution necessary to make sure they don't put a bullet in you. Live streaming in front of a massive audience who can see the cops' faces is one of the best ways to ensure security.

I'm a pasty-ass Irish-Italian guy and I wouldn't give them any wiggle room to put my life in jeopardy, so I would absolutely do the same if I were an actual victim of systemic racism. I've seen firsthand what abuse of power like that did to people I know. Cops aren't your friends. Saying "not all cops" doesn't solve the issue.

It's okay. Just next time, know what you're talking about before speaking to such a sensitive issue.

I'm trying to come up with words to describe what I'm feeling about this whole Etika situation, but it's freakin' late here and the words just won't come correctly.:drsad:

It's so ****ing crazy, like....man, I cant imagine what Etika fans are feeling right now.
