I'm so tired of this idea that because something disproportionately affects one race that automatically makes said thing "racist" or "making it harder on the poor". I guess any manufacturing plant that sets up shop 5 miles away from the inner city is racist too. I mean people shouldn't have to walk 5 miles to work. Or if you want to talk rights...people have the right to bear arms, but guns are expensive. That isn't fair to minorities or poor people so they should be given out with your birth certificate. Marriage certificates cost money and the courthouse might not be close to where minorities/the poor live. Not fair.
Yet they manage to get and use their food stamps and welfare checks without this incredibly difficult ID to get. GTFO of here with this racist shit. How about not being a lazy drag on the economy and society? _
But some how these lazy fucks manage to put 60 inch LCD flat screens on their front porches whilst drinking Cristal. _
cops kill more white people than black in this country yearly. The point is VERY flawed. There are people making a lot of money on getting other people riled up in this country and they are doing it becaue they know emotion will over take fact checking. If you watch the video,not only did they run up on the cop,the kid had his hand as if he were grabbing a weapon at his side. Now,the truth is he was slipping and catching his fall. But see how that goes in this climate when you have to make a split second decision. And dumbasses shouldn't be running up on cops.

Police brutality, no doubt an issue no matter the race, thanks for providing the link. It's a shame we don't hear more stories regardless. It appears the way, black people are killed it definitely generates more buzz. It is to fabricate some race war? IDK, but this quote makes you wonder more about the killings: That would be an interesting study to conduct. Regardless, it's a huge problem - America is breaking records when it comes to fatal killings.
I just think it's been too much- over 40 killings in July alone and it's not even the halfway point. A statistic like that, I am sure you don't give a shit, but I do. How do you classify a killing that's justified? Is the police officer's life in danger? Has the suspect killed someone else? I thought the mission statement of the police, is to serve and protect.
I'm pro Cop but strongly believe in better recruitment and better training. I didn't believe in cops having to wear cameras because it shows a lack of trust in the police and that's the basis of having a law and order society. But then I heard the counterargument from a police chief who believes in them. He said it protects good cops from the bad guys and people trying to scream police brutality over cops doing their job. I'm more for cops being armed over everybody on the street although it's a person's right to own them. I'd rather the professionals protecting me than the amateurs. And that includes a lot more armed but qualified and trained private security.
oh btw, the federal background check failed. the feds and gun control will save you, just hold your breath. http://abcnews.go.com/US/fbi-direct...-failed-allowing-charleston/story?id=32358311
Believe me, I don't know every nuance or the nook and crannies in gun laws esp in South Carolina. So if the gun shop knew the kid had a drug arrest and reported it but the FBI didn't respond in 3 days. Why do they have this rule that they can sell the gun. Why not keep it on hold until it's completely checked out. They had their red flags and maybe with some investigation they could have found even more on this kid.
I think that is exactly whats going on. Systematic race war. I see it this way. Youtube has become a platform for some to make a lot of money and become somewhat famous. Social media is where most of this is all happening. I was surfing youtube on the subject and found some people that have race dedicated talk shows and call in shows etc. One was constantly talking about "white supremacy" Not in the sense of white hate groups,but how the whole system is white supremacy. He was talking about how any black people that talk about black on black crime,side with Christianity are "c--ns" Now,what his followers don't realize,is that HE is a tool of this supposed white supremacy. Because where would he be without it. If he didn't have a tool to fill peoples hearts and minds with hate,he wouldn't be the youtube celebrity he is. Facts aren't really nessessary any more. As far as cops,they get criticized for everything. There are plenty of bad cops. But there are many more bad civilians that they have to deal with. And there seems to be a movement to excuse people from discipline for their actions. Everybody thinks they are a Monday morning QB when it comes to being a cop,they should try it. Its not as easy as being a reporter on it. They get up and work everyday in a society where they know they are always a target,and don't know what call they get will cost them their life. If I were a cop I would draw the line immediately as soon as someone had the audacity to disprespect me,because at that point I would have to start wondering what their capabilities are. You would think that a young woman walking down the sunset strip ,gets the back of her head blown out by a shotgun blast would generate some buzz,but not one national news outlet spoke of it. But they'll make weeks of news out of people rioting over what could very well be a justified shooting of a criminal
Cops deal with criminals breaking laws and are often confronted with dangerous violent situations. This isnt the type of thing normal joe schmoes like you and i typically have to deal with. They are trained to protect themselves against any potential threat. Yes, they are here to serve and protect but if they don't protect themselves first there's no one left to protect. If people respect law enforcement instead of disobeying and threatening they generally aren't killed.
In NYS Cuomo just instituted and signed an executive order (they are trying to pass legislation on this) taking investigation of cops killing unarmed civilians out of the hands of local prosecutors and in these cases putting them under the authority of the NYS AG. The idea of this is that there could be the appearance of conflict of interest since there is a relationship between local police departments and prosecutors who work together on many cases. And public confidence is at an all time low. This was set off mostly after the Eric Garner killing.
How about airports? Traffic patterns should be altered because people bought into quiet areas, get outvoted by inner cities?
How many killings inChicago this month? One day... http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...separate-shootings-20150711-story.html#page=2
