police accountability, demilitarized police, end of war on drugs, end of prison industrial complex are all something you should be for if you want to limit gov overreach

And the media does an outstanding job of drowning out the reasonable, thoughtful people associated with the movement in lieu of the ones who make for an intriguing story or sound bite. Their goal is to divide and they’re pros at it

Those studies aren’t properly normalized.

You are using "cherry-picked" stats which indicates your dishonesty. Black males are about 6% of the population, 49% of murders are committed by 6% (black males) of the population. Unarmed means "not in their hands.) That stat does not account for the gun being on the seat/glove box, etc. while the suspect is reaching for it. Also, if someone is being told by the police to keep their hands on the wheel and they disobey and reach for the glove box/center console, what should the officer do? Wait for the gun to come out, thus putting his/her life in grave danger? Statistics without proper analysis are useless and dangerous (especially in your possession). This narrative about police racism is completely made up in an effort to incite unrest and violence. Higher rates/percentages of police interactions of blacks with the police are directly related to the data which shows victim identification of blacks as the perpetrator. You should try doing better research rather than a lazy reading of USA Today/NPR left-wing publications.

Did you miss this in the post?

No. Your "post" in no way answers the question.

quote:

---

black men face a one in 1,000 risk of being killed during an encounter with police, a rate much higher than that of white men.

---

That's because blacks commit violent crimes at a higher rate than whites. Please review "victim data."

quote:

---

Black men and boys face the highest risk of being killed by police–at a rate of 96 out of 100,000 deaths. By comparison, white men and boys face a lower rate of 39 per 100,000 deaths, despite being a bigger portion of the U.S. population.

---

Again, your dishonesty is in full view. Blacks commit violent crime at higher rates than whites. See the "victim data" statistics to fully understand. You have probably seen these statistics and are choosing to ignore them. You are dishonest.

end of war on drugs

Sorry....that is just stupid.

I thought we as a society had come to the conclusion that prohibition is a futile endeavor. It won’t and doesn’t and never has helped curtail gun violence and certainly hasn’t done a goddamn thing to curtail drug addiction. The only way forward is to stop creating criminality out of human pain and suffering and substance possession. The war on drugs is and always has been an abysmal failure.

On that token, private, for-profit prisons should be 100% banned.

What does that mean...exactly? Do you want the criminals to have "bigger" guns than the police?

---

You think police need those trucks that look like tanks, grenades, multiple helicopters, etc
Only Chicago, NY swat would ever need any of this but they have dept in bumfrick
Alabama with all these things.

Yea let’s just throwing millions on a losing battle that has been a failure for 25+ years. Bet you think Iraq was good war and we should still have troops there and Afghanistan

Wher do you propose we house criminals? Maybe at your house? And please don't try to tell us prisons are overflowing with people convicted of smoking marijuana....that is just not true. Violent criminals are what makes up the majority of our prisons

---

George Floyd got out in 5 years. Probably to make room for some non violent offender who make up 30% of the prison pop. If you don’t think these prison/ sheriffs are locking up people that that need to be in rehab, mental facilities then you are an idiot

Don't attempt to make this a binary choice...it makes you look and sound stupid.

If you can’t see the gov in any form is about control after this corona crap then I can’t help you

Nope

quote:

First thing...there is no such thing as "gun violence." You and your leftist buddies made that up. Guns don't commit violence. It is impossible for a gun to commit violence. People commit violence

---

Oh for frick’s sake

quote:

---

Your statement, "certainly hasn’t done a goddamn thing to curtail drug addiction" has no basis in statistics since we (US) have nothing to compare it (legalized drugs) to. Therefore your statement is untrue.

---

Except we absolutely do. I tried to be reasonable and find some common ground with you, like I am able to with countless reasonable conservative minded people in my circle of friends and family, but you are helplessly clueless. You’re in here defending the goddamn war on drugs? Just amazing. Good luck out there man

Yes. Next question.

Based on what US statistic? Our society is unique and the best in the world.

quote:

Bet you think Iraq was good war and we should still have troops there and Afghanistan

---

Good wars....yes. Executed poorly...yes. Instead of going door to door asking, "are you a terrorist," we should of leveled each block where we had evidence of a terrorist (fired a shot at one of our troops, seen with weapons from a drone/helicopter, etc.). Trump getting our troops out is a good idea. Although we (Bush/Obama) executed the war poorly, we were able to put a boot up the arse of the terrorists. That had to be done to prove to them we would respond to attacks on US citizens.

That was a mistake.....he should of received more than 5 years for holding a gun on a pregnant woman's belly.

So, a person who is a psychopathic murderer who "might" benefit from counseling should not be in prison? You are nuts.

Again, it's not a binary choice. Framing everything as binary might seem to help you justify your pitiful arguments, but that does not make it intelligent.

It’s like arguing with news personalities. They just throw ignorant talking point after talking point at you while scoffing at data. They can’t even make it to the starting line of the discussion because their beliefs are made up. 1 non racially motivated crime trumps hundreds of negligent murders, It’s insane.


Btw I don’t mean black people, I’m talking about the ignorant loony’s. I’m a pastors kid, my dads church is 80+% black and maybe a handful of them agree with these riots and protest. This is yet another short con.
