Actually I gave you the correct facts according to the DOJ. More whites are killed by police then blacks. Fact. More blacks are killed than whites despite a population of around 13 to 14 percent. Fact. 94 percent of blacks killed are by other blacks. Fact. Blacks are responsible for upwards of 55 to 60 percent of all violent crime(s) again despite being about 14 percent of the population. Fact. So how are you my worst nightmare again. lol
Sure then you try being a cop for 5 mins and dealing with all kinds of crap thrown your way EVERY SINGLE DAY. Dealing with people who’s sole purpose to create havoc and chaos. Knowing that people will try and kill you merely because of the uniform you wear. Going to domestics, bank robbery’s, shootings, stabbings etc not knowing how THOSE will turn out.
Frankly, I would never be a cop. Not my thang. It sounds like you're making excuses for criminal behavior by cops. If you truly believe in our democracy you wouldn't be spouting this nonsense.
Huh? Seriously can you not comprehend what I’m saying? Yes they represent 13% of the population but are responsible for about 55 to 60 percent of ALL violent crime. How hard is that to understand? And again you’re missing the point, yes blacks kill other blacks but at a rate and proportion FAR out pacing every other category of race of people. That’s the point. And again apologists like yourself don’t address these facts instead it’s easier to blame the white cops. Because they’re the reason that homicide is the leading cause of death for black males 18 to 35. Idiot.
My 13% stat represents the fact that "we" BLACKS AND WHITES are protesting because the people that are supposed to protect and serve are being murdered at a high rate.....sometimes while in cuffs. So I don't really understand what black people being responsible for 55 60 percent of violent crimes has to do with this fact. It doesn't make it okay for cops to murder people while handcuffed. DO YOUR JOB! Change is coming. NO MORE TALK! I'm tired of these lame excuses.
How am I making excuses. The VAST majority of cops are doing the right thing and are nit racist or overly aggressive or whatever else you want to say. Hence why regardless of what you want to believe a white cop killing INNOCENT person is rare. Millions of interactions every year between cops (black white asian all cops) and black citizens has resulted in 235 deaths. And I’ll bet you anything the VAST majority of those were justified
I agree completely! My issue is people like CD whatever making it a race issue when it’s NOT. It’s a bad cop issue
AA's are also responsible for 53% of homicides and 60% of armed robberies according to that same DOJ report. They may be 13% of the population but they are having more encounters with police, so naturally they will have more opportunities for those encounters to turn out bad. For every 10,000 arrests of a black man for a violent crime, 3 are killed. For every 10,000 arrests of whites for violent crimes there are 4 killed. Our shoes aren't always so comfy either.
Bro, it is a race issue. Look at the numbers @801canesmxer provided. Based on his numbers 32% of the unjustifiable killings by cops were performed against AA. Not my numbers but his from DOJ.
You're conflating other issues however they all originate from a basic problem in America. Poverty!
That's the whole problem with me on this. We don't even hear about anyone but blacks getting killed when it is obvious that there are others having the same problems. All Lives Matter.
100%. I was a roofer for 15 years and those guys, no matter the race, got ate up by the law on a routine basis, not that some didn't deserve it. Punishments are more severe when you can't afford a fancy lawyer.
It's not about being able to afford a lawyer. It's about not needing a lawyer in the first place. Which brings us back to poverty. You feel me now?
Those roofers weren't driving Jaguars if you know what I mean. in fact, you struck gold when a roofer with a drivers license applied for a job.
Don’t use numbers as facts, their head will explode and make them go back to their safe spaces.
Wait, I thought you were telling everyone just a few days ago that we should stay inside and social distance not to protect yourself but because you care so much about others ? What changed?I will be heading out tommorow. They are marching in my hood. Off to buy some red paint...RIP GEORGE FLOYD!!!
You don’t know what Trump ignored and what information was provided and when.
You’re absolutely right it’s murder. So should we focus on the over 7000 a year or the ones that are at best less than 1% of those numbers. In fact a black male has a better chance of being struck by lightening than being killed in a police encounter.
Very racist to ignore white people and any others that die the same way. All Lives Matter.
I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I didn't have the opportunity I did.
You didnt answer my question. Is poverty causing the family unit problem with no dads around? My best friend growing up is AA and we have talked about this and he knows that is a huge issue with AA youth. Now he happened to grow up living with his mother but his dad was in his life all the time so it worked.
As I was reading this thread I had to laugh, a lot, beating the board dopes over the head with facts is useless my friend.
I agree with you...i here is my thing..they do it to all of us...so why blm...you seem to be shutting out all others...now that's a problem with some
It's not a race issue as the whole country....some are most aren't...but I don't want to be lumped into a category when they or you don't know me
Yes we should...bring all together..not just one group...i am with you on the police brutality....
