There was another killing of an unarmed black man by a white cop last night. In response, there was a riot in which blacks attacked cops and of course committed a lot of destruction. Although it doesn't look good for the officer, the facts are not yet in. And yet Hillary, in an effort to gain black support, has immediately condemned police specifically and "white people" as a whole (saying "we are better than this") and immediately sided with the black victim. She did not condemn the violence that ensured, nor the community's illegal actions in taking judgment into their own hands,
Does anyone other than me see the double standard here? Look how careful Hillary (and the other liberals) were not to rush to judgment against the Islamic terrorist, saying we don't have all the facts - yet when it's a white police officer involved, she immediately condemns all police and white people - whom she said she "can speak directly to" (!) before any investigation has occurred. Instead, she should have said that although it doesn't look good for the cop, we have no facts and must not rush to judgment AND criticize the violence the erupted in the black community as a result. She is acting just like Obama - jumping to defend the black guy if a white guy is involved - without knowing anything about the incident. But at least Obama said the ensuing violence isn't the answer. Hillary is so desperate for the black vote that she's afraid to criticize their own unacceptable behavior. |
The fact was on video and the police officer is suspended. They went to arrest someone else and shot a totally different person in his back when he has his arms raised. You think if this happens to random white guys and the cops are blacks you would be quiet. You are raging against the blacks when it was an innocent black bystander who was wrongfully killed. You should be outraged that your fellow citizens are taken out by cops for no reason other than being black. Won't you be outraged if this happens regularly against innocent white guys? |
Actually the plainclothes officer who shot and killed Keith Scott was black. Get your facts straight before you rush to judgement - that type of impulsive overreaction by hyperparanoid/overaggressive law enforcement is what led to the recent senseless murders. |
The police have said he had a firearm. The family is disputing this. I have heard there is no video of this incident. |
I said it looks bad for the cop - but there hasn't been an investigation. My point is how Hillary rushes to judgment when a white kills a black - and condemned all whites - when she tiptoes around Islamic terrorists, reminding us how the "bad" Muslims are few and far between and most Muslims are peaceful (which is true). Why not apply the same standard here, saying that it's important to remember that these killings are few and far between (relatively speaking, considering how many cops there are) and that most cops are good people who risk their lives to protect the community? And why not say....let's not rush to judgment, as she said with the terrorist? Instead, she immediately takes sides, condemns all white people, and refuses to even say boo about the unacceptable black violence. |

And OP if you weren't talking about Keith Scott who was killed for carrying a book in Charlotte where protests broke out but were instead talking about Tulsa, OK where Terence Crutcher was murdered then in that case you're right - the officer was white. |
You do not get it and will never get it. Another cop kill's a black person and you think she should not spoken? She was not rushing to judgement. This is unacceptable behavior of the cop. Whether the black person was guilty or innocent, cops do not have the right to kill. Even if it is a terrorist, cops do not have right to kill, unless it is to protect others or self defense. How do you compare her not "rushing to judgement" about whether an event is bombing or something else; someone motivated by extremism or personal grievance; connected or unconnected etc to denouncing a cop killing another black? |
The cop that shot Keith Scott was BLACK? Wow. Then Hillary really rushed to judgment! She was on the air saying how white people are better than this, and so she just assumed the cop was white. (That's why I thought so. I believed Hillary. My mistake.) |
You think that hasn't happened? Fact is that kind of thing happens very infrequently regardless of race. And your use of the term raging against is ridiculous. |
No. She was correct to have spoken. But what she said was wrong. Why is she condemning all police and all white people - especially when we are repeatedly admonished not to harbor ill will toward Muslims in general because of a few bad apples? I really resent when she said "I can speak directly to white people" - as if we all need a scolding. Can you imagine if she said, following the terrorist attack, that "Muslims are better than this" and that she "will speak directly to Muslims"? It's the double standard. |
+1 OP here. And I wasn't raging against blacks. (True, I criticized the riots afterward, but in this day and age, one isn't allowed to criticize anything black people do.) I was raging against the double standard that Hillary has adopted. |
Oh come on, Hillary Clinton did not "condemn all whites". Your hyperbole is ridiculous. |
Then what was her crap about how "white people are better than this" and she can "speak directly to white people"?she was lumping all white people together. When that Muslim guy set off the bomb, did she say "Muslims are better than this?" Of course not! That would be racist. |
Where did she condemn all white people? She said white people are better than to judge black people as criminals all the time. What's wrong with that? If you don't judge blacks as criminals then you are not one of the white people she is taking to. |
The officer in Tulsa was as white as it comes. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tulsa-cop-betty-shelby-s-past-under-scrutiny-after-terence-n651441 |
