Yes, that's true. Nevertheless they have a strong left bent. Oppose the left and your post will not stay up there long.

Perhaps if you properly documented and sourced your additions?
Just keep at it and change the world.

I'm a researcher, and I document. I''l give you an example. I provided documentation from a Pulitzer Prize winner, who won it when he was at the NY Times. The Wiki guy would have nothing to do with it because it did not go along with the false narrative he was spinning on a subject which he obviously knew very little about. He and his gang would delete what I posted usually within minutes. They obviously were monitoring the site. I told one of the gang it was vandalism, he said he had been accused of that before. In this case one guy rewrote the entire article and moved it, taking out factual information which is indisputable, and then essentially challenged me to try and make a change. They can lock it down too if they want. I love Wikipedia for subjects like geography and math. But it is far to the left on subjects where the left has an interest. Here, read this article:

When you encounter the police, sit down and shut up.

I pray to God that I will NEVER EVER meet an US-American policeman!
NEVER EVER!

I have met British and Irish and French and Italian and even Vietnames policemen in my time!
And they were human and friendly and acted that way.
Not like those cruel US-American police "men" who seem to be more like robots programmed to kill!

I wasn't aware that anyone took wikipedia as a serious source of anything. I find it convenient for usually being factual, but never considered it accurate. Anyone can change it and have done so myself. So I know it has little authority other than as a condensation of other biased sources.

With that attitude, you will indeed get poor results. It's a shame that you are willing to be influenced by media rather than experience. It's that same idea that gets so many minorities in trouble and incarcerated. I lived in the thick of it for two years, so experienced it firsthand.

Oh my. I believe my last encounter with a police officer was in the middle of the night. I was walking and a police officer stopped me, he was looking for a lost dog (an older lady was driving around looking for the dog) and he asked me if I had seen it. He sure did not have to be looking for a lost dog, just a typical kindness. A number of police were sociology majors or those who wish to go into some kind of social work, people who want to make a difference in the community. A tiny minority get jaded and end up badge heavy. Police end up dealing with some very bad criminals day to day and it takes a toll being so underappreciated. I believe most have voted for Democrats for a long time, but with their group being so vilified by the left that could change in the next election.

And what kind of "major" was the police-"man" who so bravely executed the defenseless Mr. Patrick Lyoya?

It's too bad you are so misinformed.
Matthew 7 1-5 Judge not, that you may not be judged, For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Douay-Rheims

It is YOU who are jugding ME - and others who are NOT HAPPY with the way the US-American policemen behave.

Please re-direct your biblical words unto thyself.

I suppose Jesus would not be happy with those US-American policemen of today either.

This topic seems to sink and sink and sink - without comment.

Are BLACK LIVES really so un-important for Christians?

A sad thing.
The best thing is to go along with what the officer wants. If the stop/request was unwarranted and so decided by a DA or Judge, then you sit back and start planning on buying your first Mercedes....

It was certainly justified. When you are struggling with a individual and your life is in danger, and it was when Lyoya grabbed the taser, you are completely justified in shooting. Contrast that with the shooting of Ashley Babbitt at the Capitol, where the officer's life was not in danger and he shot and killed an unarmed woman from a distance. That was not justified. It is unfortunate that Lyoya went for the officer's weapon.
No, it wasn't justified though Lyoya could have been alive if he would have obeyed the officer. There was no reason for the cop to remove his weapon and place it behind Lyoya's head.

On the other hand, though tragic, Babbitt's killing was justified. She was involved in an illegal siege of the Capitol Building.
