It's a great read. It includes his -38 his first time playing golf. It also talks about how they keep getting athletes banned for steroids when the real reason is that they were all struck by lightning which results in similar failed drug tests


What do you think he runs in a 40?

You forgot to leave out one caveat. How many of these perps are convicted felons that should've been locked up long ago?

Why do people not listen to the police when they tell them to do something? If you are pulled over listen . I have yet to see a case in any of these where they said they were shot following orders. Ive been pulled over for reasons sometimes i didnt understand. The coped approached my car. i listened to why he pulled me over, i forgot to turn my lights on driving throu the city one time. i apologized and was polite. I was on My way. Ive been pulled over by some prick cops for speeding but didnt talk back got my ticket and was on my way. Seems certain people demand to know why they were pulled over, start filming, dont listen and wonder why there is conflict. These cops are on edge on a daily basis and i sure as hell and flipping their switch.Once again show me a case where a person was shot following orders?and being polite. Sharpton and his goons dont want to here that part.

I went to the guardian police killing website...how do you search by race how many have been killed? Wondering how the article got that number, if it is on the page or you just have to go through there and count individually..

I think there are some black people who get pulled over, who instantly think "I am being pulled over because I am black" so they get defensive then it trickles down from there.

The fact is, poor and uneducated people are more likely to commit crimes. There is a large percentage of blacks who are poor and uneducated so crime is higher in those areas. This causes more interactions with the police, etc,

As for as the high percentage of blacks who are poor and uneducated, that can be traced back to the lack of opportunity blacks once had in this country, but that's where all of these activist should focus their energy. You want to change things? Then tackle issues like the number of kids not being raised with a father figure, show kids other options in like other than the streets, etc.

A few months ago Harvard released a study, conducted by a black researcher, that concluded blacks are actually less likely to be shot by police. But no one cares about statistics and shite.

Most wondrous dear leader ran his 40 so fast that US basketball and american football representatives thought it unfair for him to compete with inferior american athletes. Upon hearing this Dear Leader agrees that it would not be fair and would ruin the integrity of the game. From that day forward the peerless leader refused to compete in sporting events so as to foster a fair playing field for all other participants.

Well it makes sense.. He is so good at everything, he doesn't care if he looks like he has a $3 haircut.

that's probably not a great solution either, I guess we're just fricked?


Especially when people aren't willing to wait on the facts of the cases and do their own research as to who is actually being killed.

Applying objective facts and logic to anything so irrationally justified is a complete waste of anyone's time, move on...

Pretty sure you're talking about the Fryer study. Sam Harris had the lead researcher's college mentor on his podcast and they dissected it in depth. It's a good listen if you're into that kind of nerd shite.

Why would you when your troops scour the country for tall beautiful virgins that are taken from their families and groomed to become part of your pleasure squad?

Put these numbers next to the national crimes database. There's a real problem!

I think we all know this is true. But there is an important thing missing: The media doesn't challenge the narrative that police are targeting black people. CNN and Anderson Cooper do not have their guest explain how whites are being killed at a proportional rate.

So this isn't just about ratings; this is also about controlling the message.

Or listen to certain people, they would have you believe every black person spends their entire day living in fear that they will be innocently killed by a police officer. Yet we see time after time black openly defying lawful command by police and taunting them. Doesn't really appear any of them are scared
