White cop, suspects are black. The suspects used a skateboard to assault the cop. The BLM folks made a fuss about this.

-------

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A prosecutor says no charges will be brought
against an Olympia, Washington, police officer who shot and injured two
men he says repeatedly threatened him, including with a skateboard.

At
a news conference Wednesday, Thurston County Prosecutor Jon Tunheim
said the officer had justification for using force. The suspects will
face assault charges.

The May 21 shooting has been investigated by a team of detectives from several agencies.

A skateboard is a deadly weapon.

"We can't have our young men getting shot every time they try to beat a cop with a skateboard."

Good news.
Here comes the "pay us because we're minorities" civil suit though. Fuck those guys. Actions have consequences.

A friend of mine shot and killed a man who was trying to beat someone else about the head with a skateboard. It was ruled a good shoot.

Skateboarding is not a crime

The best one I've seen, so far is "The police are using criminal acts as an excuse to arrest people."
