don't care about the statistics. The videos showing police shooting people are fucked up, whether the person being murdered by the police are black or white or murdered in proportion to the population or the percentage of their race who commit crimes or BLAH BLAH BLAH.
THE POLICE ARE MURDERING AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!! It's NOT OKAY not matter WHAT the races involved are!! Come on, people -- this is America, not ISIS territory.
That is a ridiculous statement. There are a miniscule number of very bad actors. There are a vast, vast, vast majority who are out there protecting us. If you cannot see that, it is a serious problem and makes you sound unbalanced. Five policemen are dead by someone who expressed similar views. Watch what you think.
Let the justice system handle the bad actors. It may not be perfect, but, for the most part--it works.
You wouldn't be saying that if the police randomly killed people from your social group/class.
You wouldn't be saying that if the justice system didn't work to convict them when they did.
lol. Did you even read this thread? It is about the fact that police disproportionately kill white people, at a higher rate than blacks, no matter how you look at the data. There needs to me a much larger discussion about policing in this country. Most liberal white people are just politely keeping our mouths shut on this, but the more people scream about something that isn't true, the more you are propelling a certain segment of the population towards Trump and his disgusting ideologies.
The white down syndrome young guy that was killed in MD because he stayed to watch a second showing of a movie, the white guy with Aspergers who was walking down the sidewalk in VA, that white kid killed in his car on a first date, the other white guy killed in VA. All white unarmed citizens going about their day not doing anything to warrant being killed by some D-bag cop. But no one is rioting in the street for a single one of these poor white guy. This is pissing poor white guy off, and he is sees Trump as his savior, standing up to the lies and manipulation of our PC society.
