Baton Rouge Police Killing a 37-year-old black man at point blank range

Good post. I do think many black youth are taught to hate the police though. Not only through music and media (though certainly they play a part) but simply because their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, etc are always being harassed, arrested, etc.

If my friends and family were always getting arrested and harrassed by police as I was growing up then I'm certain I would have more hate for cops.
It's only natural.

And it's a chicken and egg thing for sure.

to some degree, that is true that if a child has witnessed mistreatment of an older family member by law enforcement, that may create a more negative image

but to some degree, it's not uncommon for families to look to law enforcement or the judicial system for intervention with a first time juvenile offender hoping the encounter will help to point them to a more productive path - or even to provide programs through community policing efforts to deter children from becoming a first-time offender

I'm only reading about it and have seen only 2 pictures but I liked the emotionality and symbolism shown between the Obamas and Bushes at the Dallas memorial service.
 
Lol I'm not arguing your point

Thank you very much. You just revealed that 1) you are trying to derail this thread by taking it off-topic, 2), that this action was deliberate, and 3) that you think deliberately derailing a topic that is very serious to others is a matter of humor. So few posters are honest about all of this. I really appreciate your honesty.
 
God help you if you try to make this into me being political... Or racist... Or anything of the sort, but where is this President and his attempt to bind this country together?

He seems to make statements that divide more than any other President in history. Aren't we supposedly evolving?

It seems every President has done a better job during national tragedy of pulling the nation together, as one.

I'm sick of all the killing. Regardless of sides. Regardless of race. Regardless of cops vs. non.

Maybe I'm just in the moment.... but I swear no one in the country (of major leadership)is doing their damn job. The moral duty.

I'm curious what you think is the divisive rhetoric. I have not read or heard anything I thought was divisive. Is it statements that are false, or truths you find unpleasant? Do you think he is focusing on the wrong things, and if so, what would be a better focus?
 
See what the race baiters, including those on this very website, have created?

These murders are on the backs of all of you knee jerking to a 30 second video an ignoring all evidence. I hope your conscience can cope with your murders.

Having lurked in here for a while before posting, I have come to the conclusion you are a parody account. You don't deserve a response to your words, not even a sarcastic one. Hence, I will provide none.

I bow to the master debater. Maybe without the "de".
 
Nice job avoiding the question and trying to make it about me instead the subject at hand. I repeat my question. When was the last unjustified police shooting. What percent of them are found unjust?

Of course I avoided the question. Your comment, and question, demonstrated that the point of the article went right over your head. The writer was pointing out, in a very eloquent manner, why blacks viewed police shootings of blacks in an entirely different manner then black on black crime. He was not biased at all. He even said, nobody had to agree with the reasons blacks felt that way, but that it was important that people at least understand those reasons. As, quite obviously, neither Rudy Giuliani nor yourself do understand. Unfortunately, you are too biased, and too angry at anybody who disagrees with you, to understand the point of the article. You are full of blind hatred, so far as I can tell, and I had no intention of steering the conversation back to your desire to demonize people who don't agree with your bigoted mind set.the writer made an honest, balanced, effort to explain police on black violence and black on black violence are not equivalent, and instead you chose to see if you can find some way to denigrate and attack his comments. You did not deserve a follow up answer from me, or anyone else who's willing to hear different opinions. You're a bigot, and advance your bigotry. I had no intention of allowing you to steer that article into still another attempt by you to demonize people you don't agree with. He's biased because he thinks only some place shootings are justified?? Why not just read his words and actually make an effort to understand his point? Was that really asking too much of you?

You are do blinded by hatred, you can't even understand an effort to bridge the gap between the polarized sides. But, no surprise to me.

Your objective, in so many comments in so many threads, is to spew as much bile, venom, and blind hatred toward anybody you perceive to be liberal in their political and social philosophies. That's your right, I would not presume to say you don't have the right to be consumed by hatred if that's what makes you true to yourself. But a question that demonstrates such total ignorance of what the writer was saying, and instead zeros in on what you perceive to be his colossal nerve in actually choosing to believe not all police shootings of blacks break the way you claim they always do, your insistence, in other words in seeing the world in terms of highly simplistic absolutes, is more reason for me to disrespect you to the nth degree. I have no good reason to indulge your questions when they miss the point of the article as badly as your comments do. The only respect I have for you is due to the fact that you are human too. And that's as far as my respect for you goes. Either make some effort to understand the point the writer was making, or talk to someone else.

Pompous. Liberals

But why did the author phrase it SOME HAPPEN TO BE JUSTIFIED if making such prescient points as you claim? That is charged rhetoric an has no place in a good article. All the police shootings have been justified.
 
just heard that there has been a shooting outside a Baton Rouge police department and two police officers have been killed
 
I hope we can end the war on drugs and with it the adversarial relationship between the police and the people.
 
This is all so heartbreaking.

Agreed with the sheriff's statements that the solution doesn't run through gun control. Gameface hit the nail about ending the war on drugs. This alone has led to so many tense situations involving firearms.
 
Not sure where these numbers are from or how accurate they are but if they are accurate then wow.

The problem with BLM is that its poorly named. Its name let's a lot of ignorant people twist it. It should just be called "Cops Please Stop Targeting Blacks".

They aren't even close to numbers I've seen. The last FBI report I can find is from 2014.

Whites kill whites most, blacks kill blacks most, other races kill other races most. Seems understandable, as much as killing anyone is understandable.

Or maybe it could be, "Leave the Targets for Other Blacks, Damn it!"
