Houston Deputy Murdered while pumping gas

You have no argument.

My argument is that unarmed blacks are killed at a disproportionate rate compared to unarmed whites. I explained, in detail, my argument in several posts up-thread.

You addressed none of it.

Until the culture of homicide and crime is turned around in poor communities nothing of significance will change.

You've said now, for years, that nothing will change. You said there would be no national change for body cameras, or national action about police brutality - that was all wrong.

Your predictions are more like hopes... Change is happening, we see it.

Is that likely to happen when you're pointing the finger at the fucking police?

Should no one check the police? Are they sacrosanct and above reproach?

I'm calling for reforms. As you've said before, you're against such reforms.

You say this, because the reality of this conversation between the two of us is that you're a racist and you are afraid of Black men.

You know this so your job here is to call others racist and cry how this forum isn't diverse enough so people pity thumbs up your insignificant rambling.

Well.. this discussion isn't diverse...

There are no Blacks in this conversation. It's a microcosm of White males. How is that representative?

Beyond that, your posts never provide argumentation; but instead, you just rail on about your own personal grievances with "Black America." We get it, you hate Blacks... but as I said before, the issues you raise, while important, aren't the issue being discussed.

So rather than derailing the topic, which is police brutality, why not keep the focus on the topic at hand?

The police fight crime.

Not always... That's the point.

There's lots of crime in low income communities. It's not exactly surprising divisive issues are going to happen.

Simply because racism is expected doesn't mean it's justifiable.

That's just the reality of the world we live in but it doesn't mean we low ball and make villains out of the people who do mostly good for society.

Where have I done that in this thread?

Why are you smearing my argument into a generality? Just to advance your own racist ideology?

No where is anybody honoring the good the police do but they are sure quick to tear them down.

You're saying I can't find at least 5 posts glorifying police? You're saying the sentiment on this board is anti-cop?

When did this become cool?

It didn't, it's just a narrative in your mind where you're exaggerating a small segment of the population and projecting it as the norm - again - to rationalize your own internal prejudices.

I don't stand with you on this topic. Deal with it and move on.

You're a racist, of course you don't.

There's nothing to deal with, I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I don't even know why I'm responding to you frankly; as I said I wouldn't.

The word racist.. it's unfair in many cases. "Racially biased"is a lot more accurate

You're right..

But in this case, I'm using the word with specific precision.

Not to enter this conversation with a serious comment but....

I think we are all racially biased to at least some degree. Your specific life experiences make you biased at least slightly. Now this doesnt make someone racist as they dont just flat out hate other races.

Just my two cents (enter jewish joke here i guess) and an extremely valid point by you.

Poor argument. If Mike Brown is an example of an unarmed African American who gets shot by the police then there should be more police shootings. The officer claimed he was going for his gun and the physical evidence showed Mike Brown's blood INSIDE the vehicle so how can we sit here and say he's lying? Nowhere did the physical evidence point to any wrongdoing by the police officer in that situation. Mike Brown's actions got himself shot. You don't have to be armed to be shot and that's a fucking fact. It's always been that way for any person of any creed.

I could easily argue that the crime rate in the African American community is disproportionate to that of any other race which is verifiable fact. Is it possible that higher crime rates are going to have disproportionate amount arrests, tickets, shootings, ect? Of course.

Ridiculous argument.

 

[David.]

Exactly.. there's extreme cases but the stigma that goes along with that label, and the divisiveness is not accomplishing anything.

Saying we're racially biased may improve discussions. Everyone turns off rationale of accused of that shit and spew venom. bias is self explanatory

I know how we can solve this problem:

Blacks can go black to Africa.
Mexicans can go back to Mexico.
Asians can go back to Asia.
Indians can go back to India.
Muslims can go back to the 3rd World.
Whites can go back to Mars.
And the Jews can go to hell.

Did I do that right?

Or, we can all act like fucking adults and raise our level of consciousness (it will happen sooner or later) so we can resemble some sort of cohesive society and prevent the Singularity from wiping us all out.

Learn from the past and move on. Don't let the media confuse you, and move on.

I often imagine myself floating out into space away from Earth as I see its size shrink to a mere pinhead in my field of vision. How silly it all looks from the void.

 

[David.]

You'll like this one, you acid freak

To do this, we need a common reality.


Go ahead and accomplish that.

No, we don't. There is no common reality. We need the level of consciousness to raise and, fortunately, that is an evolutionary change that is long overdue.

But before that happens the purge happens! Lol JK.....sorta.

It was obvious where this was going weeks ago. Overheated rhetoric, and any attempts to put the shootings into the context of how rare they actually are being shouted down. Point out that the overwhelming majority of cops are not shooting black people, and you're insensitive at best, or more likely just a bigot.

Rare doesn't matter. Laws are made for the rare people who don't follow societal norms. That's the point. It's the bad apples that ruin the bunch, but you will never hear a condemnation of bad policing by good police. The DA never indicts cops who straight up murder people. That is the whole point. It makes us as a whole distrust and hate the police. The scary chant is a reaction not an action, and no one thinks that anything needs to be done about the action. Too busy condemning the reactors.

 

[Cavatt]

I would disagree with your idea that "all lives matter" is against "black lives matter". I see it as more of an all encompassing response to black lives matter. I'm sure that there are black people who could attest to the "all lives matter" response as well.

Again, this garbage is exactly what the powers that be would prefer, to have its minions divided.

What cases are Alllivesmatter speaking up for? I am really curious?

Um, hate to tell this to you, but Jews dont believe in hell.

NONE....is my guess.

Well Major Tom, you're certainly an optimist, but I don't see why you assume that everyone's level of consciousness is going to be raised.

Something to do with legalization of weed smoking, maybe?

That doesn't change much now does it? Lol
