What does Trump have anything to do with this matter? 100% of those deaths occurred while Obama was in office still. Can you at least admit you personally don’t give a shite about black people dying unless it involves a white officer?

I respect Randy and I respect that he has an opinion on it like every American has a right to. However I don’t agree with his opinion. I won’t call him stupid, I will simply say I believe his heart is in a good spot, but the worst thing you can do for Black-police relations is continue the false narrative that it’s open season on black folks. Are there racist cops? Sure. There are racist doctors and lawyers too—and guess what, some of those are also black.

This narrative that black males are hunted by police needs to stop. It has a negative effect on our sociaty. It is been proven that crimes commented without a gun have almost a zero percent chance of ending in a fatality. When a weapon enters the equation, the p-values increase. The black community needs to start taking responsibility for their rampant crime. The constitution allows police to defend themselves. They are not a babysitter. That will never change.

Not true. It's roughly 1/3 of violent crimes. Just FYI.

As is usually the case in these sort of blanket statements, he is neither 100% right nor 100% wrong.

Here is the thing


Moss wore a tie with some people on it that were very bad people who died deservingly
He chose to support those people purely because of the color of their skin

That’s what wrong with what he did IMHO

He chose to judge those men by the color of their skin and not the content of their character


If he wants to say we have issues with law enforcement in this country I’ll agree with him 7 days of the week, but those people on his tie included a lot of bad individuals who don’t highlight that

The only real tragedies were Tamir Rice and Philando Castile. Were they even on his tie?

What Randy doesn't get is that many of those names weren't victims at all, but actually criminals.

Getting shot by the police doesn't automatically make you an innocent martyr.

Which is why BLM can get fricked. They took a real issue and totally turned people off to it.

I'm convinced BLM was started by a pro-LEO source. Backlash against generic police violence was growing support across the country. BLM turned it into a race issue where every black man killed is deified whether it's justified or not. Now people are so tired of hearing about Brown and Sterling that they're buying 'Back the Blue' bumper stickers and shite. It really chaps my arse.

Spot on


Honestly, this is also the way a complete mouth breathing jackass like Trump became president. The MSM and liberals can take claim for creating that



*disclaimer, I voted for Trump, but my point stands

Like many, Randy should hone in on the names that truly and are more universally accepted as victims of the police rather than thugs who brought this upon themselves

Mr. Moss, you’d be hard pressed to find any sensible human who would disagree with this statement. Now, with that being said, put forth some effort to bring recognition and limelight on a REAL American problem, BLACK ON BLACK crime... y’all MFers take life from each other at a much higher clip than the shite you’re ‘protesting’

If he is really concerned about young black deaths, maybe he should just pick one major city, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington DC etc. and list the names of the victims to senseless violence.

They are so many victims, that he should branch out from listing on his tie, to making a suit with the names written on it.

But this would make sense, so no.
