re: Retired St Louis police captain, 77, is shot dead 'protecting his friend's pawn shop

None of this is about black lives, it is marxist insurrection. We need to call it what it is.

His life didn't matter because he was shot by another black guy.

FIFY

Tariq Nasheed’s followers told me it’s a shame he died but he was a necessary casualty in the war against white supremacy

*This is going to my long rant. Feel free to skip.*

I just tried to have a conversation with an old black friend of mine and he is completely uninterested.

He actually use to be my best friend before we ended up moving separate ways in life (different states, relationships, etc.)

He is a huge Christian. I say this to give background on him. Like he is very outspoken on it.

He is asking how can people be outraged at looting and riots, but not the loss of a black life..

So I try to tell him that I can't think of a single person who isn't outraged over the loss of life. I also said why can't people be outraged at both?

His response,

quote:

---

"Because if our collective time and energy aren't focused on stopping police from subjecting Black folks to wrongful convictions, arrests and murders then riots and looting won't stop. If we can force systematic change through things that may be uncomfortable like riots and looting, then they stop when the unfair treatment stops. Riots and looting are only a symptom of a bigger issue. When you have a cold, wiping your nose doesn't make the cold go away."

---

To me that sounds like he is then condoning everything going on. I try to show him actual data and such, but again he is completely uninterested.

So he goes on to say,

quote:

---

Do you believe that property is more valuable than a Black life? Do you believe that a Black life is more valuable than property?

---

But yet the rioting and looting he thinks is necessary for change is costing more innocent lives, including this black man here.. so his response is this..

quote:

---

if you solve the problem of the American justice system and unfair treatment of African-Americans, you solve the problem of riots in this regard.

---

So then I wonder if we can passionately proclaim that we need to transform the culture in law enforcement, what about the need to also discuss transforming the culture in high crime neighborhoods?

And then what's to say another problem doesn't arise. Is violent protesting really the answer?

My whole point is that people like him really don't seem to care about the loss of lives, including other innocent black lives. I don't understand how he isn't just as enraged at this.

I don't know that we can ever see eye to eye here and it's pointless to even try to have a discussion.

I am about ready to give up on any hope here.

God Bless Mr Dorn and his family.

This makes me sick.

.

The vast majority of blacks killed are killed by other blacks and they are responsible for many of the abortions in this country.

Blacks killed by whites arent "more dead" than the blacks killed by blacks.

Made the mistake of watching it. So sad and infuriating.

Another broken egg
