    Whites kill whites, whites abuse whites. Does that mean it's okay for cops to kill whites? Does that mean it was okay for Noble to be shot with his hands up? Does that mean it's an issue we shouldn't be concerned with because white people kill and abuse whites more often than cops do them?

    I wouldn't be talking about reading comprehension if I were you.

    No one seems to be burning down businesses and killing cops for them.

    What exactly is the point you're trying to make by that statement?

    I am saying cop training is an issue regardless of race, and then you turn around and talk about riots, what does that have to do with that issue?

    Also in the cases of whites they more often get sent to trial.

    Yeah, it's either one extreme or the other with some people. I've said it before but it's telling that the usual gun nut NRA zealots aren't in these threads defending the rights of armed citizens to overthrow tyrannical governments. Even the DPD police chief has come out against lawful concealed carry now.

    Apparently if you have an opinion on the issue but you don't rush down to join up and throw your life away you will piss off a lot of internet warriors.

    Not a great solution. Only the naive think it'll make a much of a difference. Best case scenario is that they realize how officers around the country are being blamed for massive outliers.

    Well clearly it was a pr stunt. What is he supposed to say though? The chief himself has been trying to work on the endemic corruption but there's only so much one person can do.

    No, you just said white twenty times because someone said if blacks dieing was important, a big focus would be on black on black crime. You didn't say a single thing about training in that blurb.

    My point about the riots is that, I guess, white deaths are meaningless since I don't see any mass discord for them.

    And trials have what to do with police brutality? And, last I checked, you can just plead guilty and skip a trial.

    You clearly haven't been paying attention then.

    That sounds like a massive positive. Plus, it'd show the empathy sorely lacking in the current charge to label all cops as black people hunters.

    That and any possible racism(If they exist), why would any black man(or woman) even join. I could also say any BLM that has a criminal record, I wouldn't really want them on the police force either.

    Are you really claiming that people don't protest when innocent white people are killed by police?

    Seriously?

    Reading comprehension, boo. Do what I typed. Or, keep being full of hot air. It is quite fun to watch.

    It definitely isn't. Ignoring the budgets they obviously have, a few good intentioned cops aren't going to do much of anything. You're still balancing the dicks out there that destroy police-civilian relations. This is the very reason why city people from crime-ridden zones, even despite being law abiding citizens, dislike cops as much as they dislike hoodrats. And that's ignoring laws that will have the ACLU up their ass when they know very damn well that they finally targetted the right group but their lack of causation wasn't enough for them to pull the stop.

    It's all over the news whenever there is a new shooting of an innocent US citizen by a cop.

    But even if we are to take your fantasy of disproportionate response at face value, there could be a reason for it:

    According to the most recent census data, there are nearly 160 million more white people in America than there are black people. White people make up roughly 62 percent of the U.S. population but only about 49 percent of those who are killed by police officers. African Americans, however, account for 24 percent of those fatally shot and killed by the police despite being just 13 percent of the U.S. population. As The Post noted in a new analysis published last week, that means black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as white Americans to be shot and killed by police officers.
    All lives matter, sure, but some lives seem to matter less than others.

    See, I mentioned the dicks that cause problems and just had salaries vomited at me. Almost like addressing the vitriol BLM and shit black communities (I've lived in them. I know what I'm talking about.) would be difficult.

    And even better. You get to have a fun showcase of the actions and ideals of the people who claim they want to end the violence. Shouldn't be an issue since these are all upstanding members of the community.

    In the meantime, I'm going on a balloon ride thanks to Espe.

    Hey, when all else fails just ignore the facts and slink away with your tail between your legs. That'll probably prove your point!

    Good eye. You realize acknowledging a shitty community with shitty black people isn't racist.

    There might be hope for you yet.
