If you really think it's weird that cops are killed at a higher rate than unarmed blacks are killed by police might I suggest a course in remedial statistics.

I'm going to miss you terribly

When you said this: Unless I am misreading you, your premise is that the difference in police response to the two groups is understandable due to a 'reasonable belief' that one group may be looting the local target or try(ing) to set fire to city hall. I object to the flippant suggestion that your version, and by proxy the police's, of 'reasonable belief' should be applied unilaterally, as illustrated recently by law enforcement's interactions with the segment of society for whom these protests represent.

OK- your assumption that the police apply the same standard to different people is one such privileged view. Your definition of what constitutes reasonable expectation wrt violence against protestors is another.

Tip toe is hilarious. I explained my point perfectly in the last comment you quoted. I can further explain, if you like, the concept of privilege. Yours is such a position. It's ok to acknowledge that without trying to divert the conversation along some racial tangent.

I imagine Kaepernick doesn't care about folks who are more concerned with what socks he's wearing than what he was protesting. all lives matter lmfao

The one wherein you feel justified in asserting a 'reasonable expectation' should be the standard for police violence against peaceful protestors.

If you need to ask...

You're talking to people who aren't aware of the irony in claiming to be against politicizing sports and yet are fans of a league whose product is basically a 3 hour military advertisement.

‘Reasonable belief’ is your standard for assault, tear gas, general police brutality? Lmfao your privilege has privilege

I think a preponderance of the evidence suggests I almost certainly am. And even if I'm not, I see very little point in arguing the side with the resources, political will, prosecutorial connections, and general overwhelming authority.

And that's the crux of the issue.

It took the protests to get them to bring charges

Nobody with two brain cells to rub together is going to be chanting Brees' name without some expletive in front of it

lmfao now everyone is going to hate him

That's a very gracious outlook. I see it as gratuitous expedience for the vast majority of politicians.

Even if it's a degree by default, they still have one and all the future wages such ownership portends.

Not very representative then imo

You think 80% of the NFL fan base has a college degree?

Right, they're all going to be working minimum wage with their college degrees and 99.9th percentile athleticism.

They certainly have more than the NFL with no professional football players.
