You really don't know how statistics work do you?
5,000 deaths out of 2,500,000 people is substantially higher percentage when compared to a relatively similar number out of 300,000,000. The rhetoric of your argument states that walking around in a war zone is less dangerous than being black and walking up to a cop car and asking for directions.
First off, you didn't start out with the statistics BS until you were given proof of something you initially didn't believe.
You asked for the proof of more citizens being killed by police than soldiers dying in Iraq.
When given proof, you then tried this BS tactic to explain away how it's ok.
It's not ok. It's not right. There needs to be a fundamental change in the police in this country.

exactly. It's a common tactic on the Poli boards here.
They cherry pick one point to try and flaw an argument that they invent and say you started.

As much as I hate to see this shite going on, I do find it a little humorous it is being enforced on a primarily democratic populated town.

Logic and actual facts are what the left hates to death. You'd rather operate on feelings and slanted statistics. Sorry you didn't like the grenade I threw down the hatch. Regardless, it had the same effect.

Nice retort to me demolishing your counterpoint.
I had no issue with police, until I saw a 17 year old kid chocked out until every blood vessel in his eyes popped. All because a cop thought he had swallowed a pill.
Kids eyes were the worst bloodshot I have ever seen to this day, blood was in his eyes. All because they thought he had swallowed a $5 pill.
I hope I never need them either.

I'm slow. Monoplegic here. I type with one hand and have more detailed explanations. Sorry. You have the most reasonable responses.

They can be questionable but just how far does a crowd go when the protest starts while the body is still on the ground? Do you start based on a biased eyewitness?

Pretty sure none of us are in the city proper. Either Ferguson or STL. But I appreciate the well wishes and we are anxiously preparing for the arrival of the Sith.

There's no other kind of eyewitness. So it's probably the only reason you'd ever protest.

No, you are throwing statics into a point that has nothing to do with statistics.
Its like if I say, more people in India speak English than people in the Western Hemisphere.
It is a blanket statement. I'm not asking for percentages of English vs non English speakers in each area. I am pointing out that one number is the same or equal to another number. That is it.
It wasn't even my fricking point. I had never heard the number until I posted a link to back it up.

They have lost credibility AND don't appear to have this anywhere near control. Don't believe other LEOs are putting down on them. They are being replaced by guys with more experience and can bring down more force if necessary. I dun seen it before.

Yeah I have seen some bad shite too. One resulting in a death (innocent white guy shot, imagine that) and I have been harassed a few times myself for no reason. It shouldn't happen period.
I an interested to see what actually went on with Brown and the cop.

even if he did, does it give the right to do all that force?
An underage kid?
I didn't skew a god damn thing. I presented a link to something when it was asked.

Had a gun held to the back of my head by Zachary PD. No warning, just walked up behind me and pressed it against my head. Told me to Walk forward two steps, then get on the ground.
His reason for doing so: he thought I was wanted on a bench warrant for failure to appear. I was white and late teens. The suspect was as well.
BRPD corporal grabbed me from behind, dragged me across a parking lot, slammed me on the back of his cruiser, cuffed and arrested me.
His reason: I walked out of a gas station, saw he arrested someone I knew, and I asked the friend if he wanted me to call his brother and let him know he was being arrested(DWI).
Cop charged me with "Interfering in an arrest".
frick cops.
