[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really tired of all this crap becoming so focused on race. The reality is that police shootings are usually justified. When they aren’t, it isn’t always a person of color shot by the police officer. And, it isn’t always a white police officer doing the shooting. From the WaPo today: "Scott is one of at least 702 people who have been fatally shot by police so far this year, 163 of them black men, according to a Washington Post database tracking fatal officer-involved shootings.” That means that 23% of those shot have been black men. What the stat does not include is how many of these shootings have been justified.... how many of these people shot first at police or brandished a weapon or attacked police first?[/quote] [b]It is not about the race of the cops[/b]. It's the race of the victims. How many innocent white men were killed by the cops every year? Show some stats for any given year?[/quote] Tell that to Hillary. She thinks white people need a slap-down. [/quote] There's really nothing left but to insult your intelligence, for you aren't bright. From her Facebook page: "Another unarmed black man was shot in a police incident. How many times do we have to see this in our country? This is just unbearable, and it needs to be intolerable. And so maybe I can, by speaking directly to white people, say, look, this is not who we are. We’ve got to do everything possible to improve policing, to go right at implicit bias. There are good, honorable, cool-headed police officers. We have seen them in action in New York over the last 48 hours because of the terrorist attacks. We can do better. We have got to rein in what is absolutely inexplicable. And we have got to have law enforcement respect communities and communities respect law enforcement because they have to work together." Where does she "condemn" white people? Where does she "condemn" police officers? If there are so many unarmed white people gunned down, surely you can provide their names. Did you ever read Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars That Tell Them? Of course not. But there's a chapter in that book in which he talks about loving America (here you could substitute white people and police officers) like a grown up - it doesn't mean it has to be revered as perfect, it means you can love the good parts and work to fix the bad parts. You're kidding yourself if you don't think we white people have some stuff to fix. [/quote]
