I can't argue that... it would have been their report of the situation and that's that....... so let's continue to push for bodycams and such.

Once statistic I'm glad about is the increase of legal Black gun ownership during all of this because it doesn't seem like things are gonna get better.
which post led to that? i think when people bring up stats on crime by demographics they're trying to look at it the incident in its proper context because incidents like this (black victim,white perp) the media coverage is disproportionate

there is no justification for george floyd being killed. none whatsoever. no one can not reach that conclusion. with all the evidence out now, all sane and rational people think that

Yes it was the fastest, you know why? Cause they were burning down the city and demanding it.

Bet my life he would not be arrested yet otherwise, just like the other 3 cops have not.


The idea that they are taking forever to get the evidence is nonsense. The video is clearly a murder 3rd degree at minimum. Could have been done immediately

They arent killing anyone. They are stealing and burning replaceable things. It's not right but it is necessary to be heard.

Calling the protesters "thugs" doesn't help his cause. As a leader he should be diplomatic.

Meanwhile a few weeks protesters stormed the Michigan Capitol with guns to intimidate legislators and Trump praised him.

I don't do Trump bashing or any of that but he could have been more diplomatic in this situation and won some support.

I don't encourage the looting and chit BTW
You should never be diplomatic when dealing with violent criminals.

Comparing these riots to the protesters at the Michigan capitol is dishonest- one group is causing millions in destruction, has murdered and has injured while the other broke no laws.

Yep agreed that the media does sway things and are easily influenced. I've talked to some miscers in private about the division being pushed intentionally. It still doesn't dissuade from the fact that the Black experience in America is completely different from the White experience for many reasons and on many different levels.

I'm not using this as a crutch or crying out racist on everything. Just stating fact. I also don't need the media to tell me what to think on it either.

Regarding the post that lead to it you and I have been on the forum long enough to see this happen over and over. Something about blacks comes up then people do 13/52 and this is just skimming the thread.

Black people have racism PTSD from how they were treated previously that is passed down generations... not sure what the actual fix is for it.
My god what. Racism PTSD?

You guys will make up anything to deny the existence of racism. It never went away its that simple. Just because it isnt as bad as it used to be doesn't mean it's made up

But you said armed protesters stormed the capitol of Michigan, which is not true. They weren’t breaking any laws “mother****er”, so comparing them to the rioters and looters is at best dishonest.

Yes. If we were just marching peacefully in the streets this wouldn't be news and you fukin know it.

People dont want to admit it but blacks have been ignored and nothing has been done even by politicians we vote for.

Sometimes you gotta get dirty to be heard. They arent killing people out there. Buildings and loot arent gods either. They aren't people

Uh pretty sure going inside a federal building where government business occurs is breaking the law. I know that's law in Texas if you are a legal gun owner and I know that charges were handed out at post-Michigan protests for those people that went inside.

Yea, when did that ever work or gain attention?

You are dumb as fuk.

If you think rioting and looting and destroying innocent people's livelihoods is going to result in sympathy and understanding for your issues, you need help.

I didn't deny the existence of racism... I just said the black community looks for it (If it's there or not there) because they've been conditioned to from generations of mistreatment.

How is that not a fair thing to say?

Agree that some blacks have racial PTSD but not every complaint is rooted in that either.

There was certainly violence and the threat of it during the Civil Rights Movement but non-violence in the face of an oppressor and kumbaya BS satiates white ego and is more palatable to them.

Even MLK towards the end was sounding more like Martin.

You said it wouldn't be news if the protests were peaceful. You said that violence and destruction is necessary to "be heard".

It's pretty obvious that hundreds of thousands of people marching down the street would be major primetime fukkin news. The rioting and looting is doing NOTHING but hurting you.

You are lost. I hope you wake up one day.

A lot of those protests you just showed from the 60's were violently attacked... thus the "making the news"

The reason that cities like Berlin were having thousands of people outside the US embassy chant "black lives matter" is BECAUSE the protests have moved past being strictly peaceful

It would be on the news and nobody would care. But theres no threat to force action from anyone that way.

The sad part about all this is I’m afraid nothing will change. People posting crime stats are missing the point. Police reform is definitely necessary and long overdue.

The USA is pretty much the only 1st world country where people are deathly afraid of the cops. It doesn’t have to be that way. In a lot of European countries when you get pulled over you get out of your car and chat with the office like two human beings.

Wtf happened in America where it became us vs them. Why are the police not actually here to protect us?

I would be hesitant to ever call the police for protection if my home got broken into.

Last time I did that, when I had intruders in my house with shotguns, by the time the cops came the intruders left, and the cops decided it was a good idea to search my home for anything incriminating and I became the suspect just minutes after having a gun to my face.

Definitely needs to be some police reform. But how? Increase salary and make it a lot harder to get into? As prestigious as doctors? Wtf do you do. Or is it as simple as holding them accountable for real when they fck up. Too many paid retirements for cops here after they kill someone, black or white.

Um, the media? The media paints police in such a bad light that it’s caused this huge division. Obviously not all police are great officers but there are bad policemen in every country. The media loves pushing the “police are racist” narrative.
Horny.

LOL if you beleive that. Most cops are good people, but there's tons of bad apples out there. And the good ones typically don't call them out, which is the real issue. When they do....they get shunned in their own depts.
