Do you even know the name Autumn Steele? If she was a black woman you would. She was an innocent white mother who was shot to death by a police officer in front of her child in her own yard. She posed no threat to the officer. He was never charged and received paid leave. Do you even know the name Daniel Shaver? If he was a black man you would. He was a 26 year old pest control specialist with a wife and 2 daughters who was shot and killed at point blank range by a hyper-aggressive police officer while unarmed and on his knees begging for his life. Do you even know the name Zachary Hammond? How about Dylan Noble? Dillon Taylor? James Whitehead? John Albers? Ariel Roman, maybe? No? If they were black you would. Weird that he hasn’t responded to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of your better ones! All of these names do is prove my point that unaccountable police violence is a problem that affects all Americans. I don't know why you are assuming I don't know these names. I more than encourage you to create a thread for each of them specifically. They all deserve discussion. Actually it clearly debunks your point which is proven by your pivot away from the race baiting message that was your point. Don't you remember your idiotic line, "if she was a white woman you would"? Take the L, bro. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A missing or dead White woman is always big national news. Natalie Holloway, etc etc. Actually, again, it supports my point. You misrepresenting my point doesn't change it Black people suffer from police brutality and police immunity. They are not the only ones. It affects everybody. It doesn't affect White people nearly as much proportionally, by any means, and go crunch some numbers if you want to disagree on stats! But it does affect White people and Latino people and Asian and Native and every classification. To suggest it affects everybody in equal numbers, in equal demographics is stupid. Do rich people get shot by police as frequently as poor people? And so on. Take my money, bro, and stop dodging this great job offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we know anything about her is because she's black. Name a similar situation with a white woman that got this much attention. I'll wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were several other pretty young white girl is missing stories besides Holloway too, as I'm sure you recall. Jon Benet Ramsey is a white girl who's unsolved murder is still talked about to this day. I don't know any examples of White women being shot by police. I'd guess that'd be one of the lowest demographics to suffer from police shootings, physically. (Women in general suffer from police violence, psychically, with how poorly police handle rape cases; they are also physically abused by police too. But I don't know any examples of innocent White women being shot by police) Edited June 12, 2020 by GregPersons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we’re not on the subject of “missing women”. The specific details are different? No the only similarities in the two stories is they are about women. Please be a man and admit you ***** up on this one. There’s nothing wrong with that. 2 minutes ago, GregPersons said: Did you respond to my OP, though? What do you think about this story?

But we all know about it? My other point that White women missing or being hurt tends to always be national news, but it's not always, or rarely true for Black women. Breonna Taylor is maybe the first national name. I don't know. I agree this is an example of police injustice. If we're on the same side on this, I am confused what the argument is. I don't really want to be measuring the relative value of suffering. I am against it, period. My only additional point being again that Black people have been subjected to this to a greater degree, just as a fact. Not that it doesn't happen to White people. So, yeah. I don't know what the disagreement is on if we are all saying "Police need to be held accountable"? Edited June 12, 2020 by GregPersons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per your post, you asked for an example of a similar incident involving a white woman with no (transparent) investigative follow up. Rob provided one. Tangential to the discussion, I knew/know about Breonna Taylor. I had to google Autumn Steele based on Rob’s post.

To be fair I only learned about her story from "what aboutism" elsewhere online, but again, I don't disagree about speaking up about her story. It's not a zero sum game. Neither should be acceptable. Obviously! And RH is free to make a post and advocate for justice. He should! It'd be a better use of his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
