    It is if they would show the unedited version of the video.

    There's a simple way to prevent these sorts of incidents (white policemen, Black suspects, violence) in the future. (Well, maybe not so simple.)
    Black suspects should only be dealt with by Black policemen. And in all-Black areas, there should simply be no police presence at all.
    Easy.

    It would certainly help the case of the officers if he did resist arrest, so why they aren't showing it is suggestive that he did not.

    What a ridiculous concept. There's no time in a 911 case to ask the race of all the people in question. Uhh... I need one black officer, one Asian and one Hispanic, though one of the guys looks like he might be Italian, rather than Hispanic, so send a white guy, too, just in case. Please hurry, I think they have guns!

    Oh ya brother the story is True, we all agreed that if the parents are too afraid then so be it...including their daughter, we didn't drag her over.

    Sorry but if you won't leave your home for your kids birthday then its your problem not mine, so if they want to lose their daughters number that's just fine, maybe they should wait a bit since she's the one delivering them fkn groceries lol. nasty dirty virus infested groceries, frankly from your POV they probably should be chastised vehemently for letting their daughter be "at risk" by making extra trips to the store to fill their needs.

    and yes, people should lead by example, its the only way to show them that their neighbors, friends, relatives are leaving their homes every day and living life, it isn't so bad out there, just turn off CNN, start the car and bring some wipes with you.

    1 is too many, what's your point? I noticed you ran from the Arbery case, why is that?

    It seems to me that we suffer big time from pre-edited video's out there in the media, the length vid should always be available, even if its just "for time we only showed you X, but the full video is available on nbc.com" kind of situation.
    What it feels like too often is "we only showed you X because it was cherry picked to get maximum rage, if you want to see the rest you're going to have to do some digging"

    Why not? We ask that we need X number of black graduates. We need X number females in STEM. We need X number of directors of color directing X number of movies. We need X number of females producing StarWars and Marvel films. We need X number of black or minority superheroes. We need X number of black owners for major sports teams. We need X number of female or black CEOs. We need a female minority VP pick.

    Might as well spread that insanity that Leftists have wrought to police as well. If we let only the black police and black EMT and black doctors treat only Black people than there won’t be a question about racism anymore. Blacks can only educate blacks. A perfect situation that the Left wants. NO MORE RACISM. Segregate the evil white people who can’t control their racism? Because it’s endemic of course. We’re AAAAALLLLL racist if we don’t kneel down in a park and repeat in a religious and cult-like way, what I as a white person who NEVER mistreated anyone of color, need to do to cleanse my soul of my privilege and crimes I never committed.

    Are safe spaces on college campuses that don’t welcome white people not proof enough what direction Leftists really want? Conferences without males. Conferences for POC ONLY. Supporting workplaces for POC only and celebrating their accomplishments of chosen segregation.

    I see. You were being sarcastic. Carry on.

    "I could have nabbed the guy, he was right there, but he's white, so..... he's free," said the black officer called to the emergency scene.

    None. How many unarmed black men were shot and killed by police last year lawful and unlawful combined?

    Nothing coming out of the Arbery thread. Did you ever post where McMichael had seen or approached the white people before and had a chance to confront them? It's been far overshadowed by current events and no much more until it goes to trial.

    I went to a protest for racial justice the other day. I always wanted to see what mass delusion looked like.

    How many were brutalized, murder is not the only injustice that is served up.

    That's because the white folks were invisible, I guess since it has been proven Arbery was hit by one of the vehicles and called an Nword it's kind of hard to defend these racist anymore.

    Well you know it's hard for those who have never experienced it to understand it. When you live in that lily white privileged world it's hard to understand anything else.

    How about this?

    Not all protesters are violent looters

    Not all cops are racist oppressors.

    Your attitude toward your older family members who don't want to risk getting COVID-19 speaks for itself.
    You're making stuff up.

    My view is the Jackass-in-Chief should have led us to dealing with the virus as they did in Australia...

    E9AD7005-0984-4B19-AEE3-59D6346CA224.jpeg

    ... or in British Columbia...

    C2C180B9-B863-4622-87F9-FE19DADC7592.jpeg

    ... where they're now reopening businesses and schools.
    If you knew more about the virus, you "example" might have more impact.

    Ha. The left calls Trump a racist for things they say he did back in the 80s and 90s. Remember how the left skewered Romney for beating up a kid in high school? How about Kavanaugh and Moore?

    How is what Trump said in the 80's related to someone refusing to watch the video, but judge its' contents, anyway?

    You went from A to squirrel on that one, as in, utterly without meaning.

    You're at an ethical dead end.

    It was regarding the things you did in the past and how you shouldn’t be judged today by them, which I agree with.

    Here we go again, I respond to your post and ask you something, you don't respond to what I post.

    Ball in your court

    How many unarmed black men were shot and killed by police last year lawful and unlawful combined?
