It would probably be helpful if some level of government announced they were going to review how policing is conducted, whether it be mandatory body cams, automatic review by a third party commission when someone dies at the hands of an office, etc. I feel like there are preliminary steps that could be taken to help calm things down, but that doesn't appear to be happening at any level of government right now. Do you just hide in your basement all day and night dreaming up worst case scenarios? Massacring large crowds of civilians? Are you kidding me? Is this your rioting version of millions are going to die? You have to be severely limited in critical thinking skills to believe the pepole who are engaging in criminal activity give a s**t about George Floyd, body cams, review boards, etc. They are not the people who care about such things. They are criminals acting in their own pathetic self-interests. You know how you can tell the difference? The prople marching peacefully are protestors. The ones who are looting, vandalizing, setting fires, assaulting people, and killing people are criminals. And yes they need to be stopped. You are a hand wringing, fear mongering, perpetually angry little man whose every post is nothing more than a hysterical, child-like tantrum. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media is focusing on the damage and destruction vs the thousands of people out there who are genuinely pissed off at what happens, and continues to happen on a regular basis to blacks in America. When I hear statements like this, I want to hear specifics, not generalizations. Please tell us, specifically, what is happening to blacks on a regular basis and by whom? I may or may not agree with you and we can discuss it from there. Like I used to tell my children as they were growing up: (1) You can believe anything you want, just be able to articulate what it is you believe and why you believe it. (2) If you want to be part of the solution to a problem, then be able to accurately define what the problem is. So, when you say, "what happens, and continues to happen on a regular basis to blacks in America," what are you saying and what is your definition of the problem?

Magox Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I wake up this morning sickened not just by all the violence and crime but at how utterly dishonest and destructive the media’s role. They have been beyond atrocious throughout Trump’s presidency but right now, they have reached new depths of derangement. It’s got me on edge today.

There are over 5X the amount of African-Americans in jail compared to white people. Racial biasing in policing absolutely does exist and is part of the problem, but there are also plenty of other contributing factors to this that need to be addressed. This is a discussion most people do not want to engage in openly and honestly. There are many issues that lead to the perceptions so many in this country have. Unfortunately it is easy for people to fall along two lines: Stereotyping blacks as a group or stereotyping police as a group. Neither is close to being accurate or helpful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
