    I do. One of my best friends is a pakistani muslim too. That helps in some ways, but ive been where you are making the same arguments even as of a week ago.

    Sitting with people of color that are not in my circle, listening to things i take for granted everyday, and havent thought of personally, gave me more perspective today than the last 30 years have.

    Try it.

    Some of these police shootings are because of racist police officers. Some are because of ill trained police officers. Some are because of officers abusing their power. A lot still are from people who make bad decisions and put themselves in bad situations.

    Ive done it. Ive found there are 2 different types of people and race has nothing to do with it. You either make excuses or take personal responsibility. I use to make excuses and blame shift. It took a lot of focus to fundamentally change the way i think. Like this guy says at the start of the video

    Instead of asking for table scraps, go out and get prime rib. And for fuck sake do it legally not by selling drugs

    Correct. I think its sad the site i linked even has race as an option. Unarmed people is the problem, how do we get that number to zero?

    Holy shit. I wonder how you would respond if I...or anyone else....started spouting racist stereotypes about Asians being criminally shitty drivers, or rude oblivious jerks or stingy tippers. You've been in SoCal too damn long......

    How is this the worst attack on police since 9/11?

    I never knew that was an attack on the police.

    I keep seeing that on the news, I can't trust news outlets that repeat ridiculous things as facts.

    That's pure idiotic...9/11 was an attack on America, not the cops

    It might be the most cops killed in one time since 9/11, but still two totally different horses

    And?

    So because white people don't care about white people being killed by the police, black people shouldn't care about black people being killed by them?

    No one is stopping you from protesting against police violence against white people. If you don't care about black people why do you care if they have an issue about how police treat them?

    Here is the asshole that riled up the faithful in Dallas before the shooting began.

    Now if your pissed about a shooting in Minnesota, why the hell are you raising hell in Dallas?
    That like saying all police are guilty everywhere. Ha! Then dumb fucker turns around and disclaims the dude that did the shooting.
    Not one of us, like you can't use the same brush they use. Bull shit BLM hate talk, fry um like bacon, dead cops, now! This talk stirs up the hate in to action
    His, "God Damn White American" got the blood boiling last night. The fucking phony puke! Needs his ass hammered!

    This jerk is as guilty as the guy that hollers fire in the theater. So are all the damn democrats that support BLM tactics.
