The DEMs are down on cops

And the progs are down on the anthem


Why are our peace keepers and public servants villainized? Why is standing for the anthem a bad thing?

The NFL, its players and its owners support cop killing, as do its sponsors. And of course, progs.

It's called a problem with authority. Some people have no respect for it. Whether it be a school teacher, police, God or whatever.

Democrats are the party of victimhood.

They want people to feel aggrieved and oppressed.

Naturally these people are going to have spite for any and all institutions. These people feel they are victims of everything.

Because Progs don't want a Democracy, a Country, a Border, or anything else that constitutes rules, non-globalist thinking or authority...

They will love cops enforcing speech codes and enternally "investigating" political enemies if they ever get power again.

321 Whites have been killed by police in 2017.
164 Blacks
112 Hispanics

Looks equal opportunity to me.

not confused at all

These are 2 totally separate issues.

As far as the cops, they have no one to blame but themselves.

By and large, they are little more than roided up meatheads just out looking for a reason to beat your arse or shoot your pet.

BLM messed up when trying to make it all about race rather than the real issue of the increasing militarization of police and their overwhelming corruption.

So you admit that by percent of the population, cops do shoot a disproportionate amount of minorities

percent of the population has jack shite to do with it

percent of those committing crimes does

You would think someone from MEMPHIS would understand that.

This is correct.

And there is a definable reason:
A lack of a responsible male role model in the family. It begins here with children being born to single women that need support of a daddy government, the emotional female raising the children with what she only knows and her life experiences combined, then progression to anger at a broken system. It's sad but true.

Obviously individual results may vary from this reasoning, but as a whole this seems to be the problem, imho.

the police are not shooting random people, so the number has no correlation to general demographics. I'll bet those statistics line up nicely with racial incarceration rates from their respective areas

They probably didn't teach you ratios at swamp school but you probably don't wanna factor in the population of each race with ratios of shootings....

Ok for cops to abuse and shoot people for committing a crime?

Just because one group is more likely to commit a crime doesn't mean they deserve to get murdered by cops.

Also convenient that you ignored my other statement.
