unbillievable Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Why did they only arrest two people? They're all breaking the law, and they have multiple videos of everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 So tired of hearing people act like we don't understand that they mean with "black lives matter (too)". We get it. The problem we have with it is that you are antagonizing a large group of people into thinking they are some kind of target, that they should be fearful for their lives. No matter how many times you say "black lives matter" though, people won't take you seriously. Because in the realm of unjustified police killings, the very few cases in which it happens deserves an all lives matter. So, no, until you start using your rally cry towards your communities who are consistently killing each other, we won't take you seriously because you aren't taking the problem seriously. You are being racist. Excellent, that truly sums it up. Seeing idiots like Don Lemon say that these people's "perception" is right is outrageous. Statistically many of them are far more likely to be killed by someone of similar background in their own neighborhood. It's like saying it is correct to feel like one cannot leave their house because they might get hit by lightning or in a car accident. Or they can't get on a plane because they might die as a result. They would be much better off trying to change the message in their own communities. The message that guns are cool, school doesn't matter and that killing is a reasonable reaction to being " dissed", and cops are just trying to keep you down.

Sig1Hunter Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 What's the recovery time from a Taser hit? I know it's not like the movies where you get tapped and immediately go to sleep for hours. Once the 5 seconds of juice is over, the effects from the juice are over. You can get right back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wichita Law Enforcement, Black Lives Matter Come Together For Cookout Dialogue instead of violence and anger. (more) it is the group think and mob mentality that the protestors often fall victim to, though, police are not above it they're trained not to be such. When you get most anyone down with someone they oppose you can have a genuine conversation. There are those you cannot, though. And those who will not for whatever reasons; power (money) or politics (money) fuel some of those people. Those are the professionals out there who have honed their skills at activizing people and inciting their will over the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Then, there are buffoons like these.............. Ole Miss Chancellor Under Fire For Mourning Dallas Police Officers Killed… Via Campus Reform: Students and faculty at the University of Mississippi are expressing disgust with the university’s Chancellor for offering condolences to the Dallas shooting victims without mentioning other recent shootings. At a forum hosted Monday by the Center for Inclusion and Cross Cultural Engagement, students and faculty gathered to reflect on and discuss the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, with several attendees taking the opportunity to complain that the administration has been insufficiently sympathetic with respect to those incidents. “I honestly feel as if Vitter does not understand what inclusiveness means.” The Daily Mississippian reports that one student brought up a tweet made by UM Chancellor Jeff Vitter the night of the attack in Dallas, which read “Ole Miss hearts heavy with the news of the tragedy in Dallas. Sending our thoughts and our prayers.” In a post on his official blog two days before the forum, however, Chancellor Vitter also alluded to the tragic events that occurred throughout the nation in recent weeks, saying “we mourn for everyone” without mentioning any specific incidents. […] “I honestly feel as if Vitter does not understand what inclusiveness means,” Ole Miss student Tinecia Francis complained with apparent sincerity during the forum. “His team told us to go look at his blog, but we should not have to do that because he should not have said it.” Students were not the only ones who were outraged by Chancellor Vitter’s lack of acknowledgement of the events occurring throughout the country. Sociology faculty member Jamie Nelms asserted that Chancellor Vitter’s tweet was misdirected, arguing that he should also have addressed the events in Orlando, Baton Rouge, and Minnesota.

DC Tom Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Students and faculty at the University of Mississippi are expressing disgust with the university’s Chancellor for offering condolences to the Dallas shooting victims without mentioning other recent shootings. Just to be clear, these are the same sorts of people that go apeshit when the US vetoes a UN condemnation of Israel for not mentioning Palestinian attacks...?

I'm just waiting for the day cops tase a black man who dies from the tase. Autopsy reveals the black man had a heart condition and the tase sent enough juice to put him into cardiac arrest.

KD in CA Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 There is no police brutality epidemic in this country. Are there cases of injustice? Yes, and they should be investigated.Exactly.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Exactly. Yet even reasonably sane people are buying into this crap. I don't think it is police brutality as much as just general police and gov't harassment. Brutality to some is a symptom of the disease. The disease usually starts with a road stop, check, people malingering. Especially in the poorer neighborhoods, towns, etc... Where the police and gov't can squeeze money out of people's imperfection, mistakes in the guise of maintaining law & order, public safety. NOW for some that leads to a mess because they are not saints, the cops usually find something else going on. That frustration is boiling over with the cops being over-officious jerks. Of course they are just doing their jobs, the police that is, and most all people are just lazy slobs... That includes everybody, white, black, yellow, red, purple, and blue. Of course depending of their social-economic status, their social/life attitudes get worse or better. I mentioned what happens in my town, the pretext policing. Detain people, pull them over for the smallest offense, hope to find something. Usually, when one is looking for trouble they find it. Now make this ten fold because the perception is the cops are picking on a certain race. I said perception. Let's not kid ourselves, there are cultural differences between people in this country. I will come off as a nervous white guy, but my crap is all together, I will have the time argue this style of policing in its proper forum. Many are NOT like this. The impassioned plea to be treated fairly and not harassed takes place right on the street... Usually leading to ugly results... Which then spirals out of control in the minds of others. It all starts with the police stop harassing the citizenry for the smallest crap. But, the citizenry have to also realize they need to take pride in themselves AND their community and get their sh*t together, stop doing illegal things, stop making crazy choices. The system is stacked, laws, especially traffic laws too complicated for many... AND people way too lazy and unwilling to do their best. Assumptions on both sides get made and we spiral into all kinds of crazy drama. Well some of us in our lives do. Oh... Side note. If all you 2nd Amenders out there fear the gov't and tyranny from unjust laws and rights being taking away? Who's going to be the arm of the law that gets that dirty work done? It is going to start with a bunch of crazy laws that will be enforced. What you are seeing is just that, it is just the lowest hanging fruit is being cherry picked away. Always the path to least resistance. You are just seeing that low fruit resist in the only way it knows how, to totally go nuclear against itself and the society it operates in. This isn't some planned conspiracy. It is just the way all the parts are operating together function as one. It is okay to question authority, but properly! Always question authority!
