Again, statistics and facts do not support this


I'll be honest first and say that I don't know the statistics and facts. I'm simply trying to understand the arguments in either side.

Can you link some of the studies and statistics that you know of?

Personal insults do nothing to advance the topic.

I was simply explaining what I understand they're protesting.

The line about the clearly bring some deep seeded issue was poorly worded. Three protesters clearly believe that police brutality and murders towards black people present injustice. It could simply be emotionally charged people see black people dying at the hands of cops on TV and are pissed, but I suspect the issue is much deeper than that.

How's he caving in?

He said he wouldn't kneel during the national anthem, and he isn't.

I just find it weird they play both anthems. You can tell the players don't know what to do while they play the england version.

Well that in a nutshell is the problem. The majority of people don't, they simply see these news stories plastered all over the news full of blatant lies and think there's an epidemic of police killing blacks.

It's simply not true.

I don't feel like digging it all up, there's been plenty of posts and links on here showing the stats. Just look up FBI statistics.

Basically, if you analyze the data, it shows whites are more likely to be killed by a cop considering the amount run-ins both races have with cops.

All of this BS for an absolutely terrible, misguided, and factually incorrect "movement".

When blacks marched in the 60’s people said things like “All of this BS for an absolutely terrible, misguided, and factually incorrect "movement".”

When blacks did “sit ins” during the 50’s people said things like “All of this BS for an absolutely terrible, misguided, and factually incorrect "movement".”

You’re thoughts are misguided and factuallly incorrect, you don’t live the life, so you’d probably never understand what they’re bringing to light.
