Did you not read what I wrote? I’m waiting for evidence to come out before I come to conclusions. You, however, have already appeared to make up your mind based on your predetermined narrative that cops love shooting unarmed black men in the back. See the difference? (That’s another rhetorical question, BTW)

I think the statistics and evidence are in place to indicate that there is a problem in America, and in my country too,  in which visible minorities are dying at the hands of the police force at a rate much greater than Caucasians. The gentleman in question was shot in the back 7 times in front of his kids. 7 times is absolute overkill and denying that is ridiculous. So, my “predetermined narrative” does seem to have some substance behind it.
 

I understand that I have dropped into the world of the right wing, anti-BLM folk here on PPP. I should probably just go back to my liberal and generally friendlier group on the stadium wall and avoid this place. Sorry for interrupting. Continue on with your banter. Q will drop some knowledge for you later, so be sure to prepare.

Does anyone else feel like half the country's trippin on strong acid and demanding that the rest of us see their hallucinations?

Personally, I think avoiding Barr's investigation is what this media-crafted outrage is really all about. I know it sounds like a "conspiracy theory" but it's far less outlandish than accepting this s

So, you are running away without providing statistics to back up your assertion? Hmmm...is it because the actual objective statistics dont back up your POV? Nice deflection, though...”this must be a case of cops misbehaving because I believe that cops misbehave”. LMAO. What a joke. 
 

Seven times is “absolute overkill”, eh? Yet, the guy isn’t dead....weird.....

Blacks are not getting shot more often than whites in similar instances.

Dont want to get shot by a cop. Follow these simple 3 rules.

 

1. Dont commit a crime.

2. If you commit a crime and have a a warrant for your arrest and are approached by police, do not resist and obey their commands.

3. If you didn't commit any crimes and are approached by police do not resist and obey their commands.

 

Unfortunately this world is full of stupid people.

The shoutbox is definitely a safe space for you. Facts and statistics don't back your case and that's common there. Anecdotes do. I hope you cried as many tears for Cannon.

I had a neighbor tell me today that antifa is a right wing Trump supporting terrorist group. How can you have a conversation with someone who has no clue what the hell they're talking about?

 

Obviously and wisely your neighbor views the American left as Fascists.

According to some sources large groups carrying “long rifles” are slowly converging on Kenosha.

 

Wouldn't surprise me.  Kenosha is not far for areas of great self sufficiency and those willing to solve problems themselves.

You really can't. Like the loony leftists posting here, its a lost cause. The only potential reason to hold a conversation with someone like this would be if there are others within earshot. You'll never talk sense to a person this far gone, but you may influence a sensible third party who happens to listen in.

That's true but police use non lethal excessive force more against black people than white people.  It's less likely to draw scrutiny or gain media attention.  It's part of the reason there's such a deep mistrust between black people and the police so when a shooting like this occurs you see an outpouring of frustration leading to looting and rioting like you're seeing now.  

 

I think holding officers accountable for using excessive force (choke holds, pushing them to the ground, striking them with a baton, etc.) is a starting point for real policy change.  Unfortunately, the "code of silence" still runs rampant among police departments.  I'm highly skeptical that any meaningful change happens any time soon.
