I notice you didn't mention police not being reprimanded or convicted for shooting unarmed people in the back. I can't imagine why that would piss people off...

My stances on police violence and the black community are well documented here.

your actual issue with the whole thing is that you think racism is a myth.
What are you basing that claim on?

These things are aimed at raising awareness and making it harder for the next cop that shoots an unarmed person in the back to get off without being prosecuted. The more awareness, the harder it is to sweep it under the rug.
It's a pussy way out of actually having a discussion that you can't back up.
These sorts of things also influence police behavior to a certain extent...The public reaction is part of why we are seeing body cameras, and actual suspensions of wayward officers now...Something that was basically unheard of previously.
In short, no one expects the poli board right wing extremist sect to be on board with this. They are raising mainstream awareness and such tactics have worked in the past...

The protesters don't want to have this discussion. It's all part of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. You focus on a target and make them look like shite in order to defeat them and sow chaos. Then your side picks up the pieces after the chaos produces a complete dismantling of the current system.
A perfect example is: liberal progressives have been unsuccessful in changing immigration law in their favor; they want those minority votes. So they disregard/violate immigration law by creating sanctuary cities/states.
In this recent issue, the NFL has clear rules for respectful behavior during the National Anthem. Once again, the progressives know they won't be able to change the rules (because most Americans are respectful of the National Anthem by tradition) so they violate the rules in order to infuse chaos.

Is this a black problem, or is this a police problem?

Don't get all upset at the term "right wing extremist" when more than half the board considers anyone without complete conservative ideological purity to be "cucks".

Sounds like you’re getting upset by being presented with facts and need to hurl insults because you can’t back your claims

You're conflating the anomaly for the norm and then arguing from that false premise.

I'm not being presented with facts. I'm being presented with right wing talking points and cherry-picked statistics.
Posted on 9/26/17 at 12:08 pm to Tigerdev
Right wing and cherry picked numbers from the Washington Post huh? That’s rich
