    Perhaps they have a higher rate of crime/violence? Like I have said before, if you look at worldwide statistics, there seems to be a correlation. Its science!

    That black people burn down their own neighborhoods is confusing to me.

    They should be burning down YOURS.

    The stats are bullshit.

    Since they are arresting black men at a rate much higher than whites, after being caught, there's an obvious bias in the stats and the people using them.

    You don't know why the officer was pointing the gun. Perhaps he was being agressive. Erratic. He was likely on PCP, he left his car in the middle of the road and he has a consistent pattern of violence and resisting arrest. He wasn't obeying the police officer's directions.

    I'm talking about in predominantly african countries as well. They are usually violent and crime ridden. No bias in the stats out there.

    Or we should be burning down theirs for being the hub of crime and violence in America.

    Oh Denny.... how quickly you result to insults when you don't agree with someone. Now I know how Barfo feels.

    But how do you know what race I am?

    Also, I find it confusing you insinuate violence towards someone when all they are advocating for is that people wait until all of the facts present themselves before making a judgement. Apparently you drank too much caffeine today.

    Ah julius agrees with MarAzul again! What the heck is happening?
    Well there maybe more than one problem happening too, and none should go unnoticed.

    Apparently you knew the Mexican's car broke down.

    But is that why the Black guy's car is in the middle of the road? Did the police know? I mean one way or the other there seems to be a very big screw up here.
    If the guys car is broken down, why in the hell are the police all fucking hyper?
    If the guy is wandering about with his car in the middle of the road for no reasonable reason, why isn't that a clue that the guy is irrational and may not dance like a puppet on command?

    Oh! I am so glad you are not recommending they burn down mine. That could result in carnage on a horrendous scale.

    If you are referring to #3 in their want list, we are close. You may even recall me saying this before, even before the BLM did, way back.
    But on the other hand, I can not agree with the BLMs tactics to bring change. No I am not going to type that much to explain.

    The side that says we don't know everything that happened yet? I've been reading below this and now you're saying she shot him while he was on the ground.

    But his window is covered in blood. You've also said with no proof that the guy wasn't high on PCP.

    You've basically said it was a conspiracy to commit cold blooded murder, they went so far as to BLOCK the camera according to YOU.

    That they were following the person she shot doesn't seem to compute for you. Following someone and ending up between them and a camera seems awful different than purposely blocking the camera. Unless they're so smart they just waited until he got to the right spot to let them block it.

    Unless you get the woman cop to admit it, you'll never convince anyone that she wasn't just plain scared shitless.

    Seeing as how you're not even aware of what my "side" of this is I'm going to have to ignore your ramblings.

    The side that isn't outraged by the obvious slaying of an unarmed black man.

    I was going to go reread some Barfo vs Denny threads because I was thinking the same thing. I know Barfo is always wrong, so I must have actually believed some of the bullshit I was reading from Denny. I need to erase all that from my mind.

    The funniest thing to me is that I take the cops side 5 percent of the time and I'm not even taking their side now but calling out retarded statements of "fact" such as "he wasn't high on PCP" makes me the bootlicking cop lover.

    I'll tell you one thing, if a 5'11" 245 lb man of any color kills someone I love while on PCP I'll kill him with my bare hands. The rest of you want cops to stop them for you, hell so do I.

    That keeps me from having to be the bad guy.

    So what do we want to do? Tell cops that cars parked in the middle of two lanes are broken down, no crime is happening and just call a tow truck?

    But he wasn't a threat to the officers life and therefore he should've never been shot. "Interpreting" that he MIGHT have a gun doesn't justify shooting him. Simple as that.

    I'm not outraged, I'm sad about it. I'm also not making shit up every other post either.

    I wasn't outraged by 9/11. I was horrified. You can see what outrage got us. Quit trying to be the cool Republican that black people like, it doesn't become you.

    Oh wait, librarian. Yeah, I wrote librarian because they're just as relevant today as libertarians.

    We'll be a long way towards solving this problem when you can cross the racial component out of your sentence.

    Is this one any less egregious simply because the guy was white?

    Bodyman5000 and 1 talked in one of his earlier posts about police needing some new technology to take people down without lethal consequences. Tasers work some of the time, but not always. It seems like there should be a way to incapacitate a suspect without killing them.

    I didn't insult anyone. If anything, I suggested those who burn down their own neighborhoods aren't doing the sensible thing. Burning down your neighborhood would effect change.

    They could throw a net on him. Or tranquilizers, or bean bags. It's not rocket science.

    While I agree cops shouldn't be shooting anyone unless there is a most extreme circumstance, there is a racial component to it when white cops shoot unarmed black men in black neighborhoods. To ignore that kills any chance of solving the problem. The solution may be to hire more black cops to police those neighborhoods. I'm not saying that's all there is to it, but it would go a long way toward making the community more comfortable with the cops.
