11-year-old Mississippi boy who called 911-- wait for it-- shot by responding officer:

Then you must be ultra pissed at the number of unarmed whites killed.

 

It's a kid who followed orders, and so that makes it unreasonable by definition to just go blasting.
Your entire attitude just stinks in this. As if anything possible could exonerate what the cop did. Get real.

While cops on their hand got excuses riled up a mile long. Even Chauvin had an excuse why he had to lynch a handcuffed black man faced down in the middle of the street with 3 of his goons helping him out. And people here, maybe even you, totally accepted it too. It shows clearly to all where people who "claim" to not being racist, do actually stand.

 

Policeman of the Year:

 

The group with the largest number of low income urban dwellers.
That's common sense. Has been through history.

 

Not at all. It's context.
I explained that. Not surprised you don't get it.

 

Keeps me up at night.

 

you're claiming there are more poor blacks than poor whites? why would poor urban dwellers be more likely to shoot police officers than poor people living in rural squalor?

 

Because your explanation requires massive mental cart wheels to come anywhere remotely representing logic.

 

You don’t see the violence in poor white communities that you see in poor black communities. If you did white people would make up the largest amount of violence. That’s simply not the case.

 

Thank you for saving me all of the explaining of obvious information, which you have somehow evaded picking up on, in all this time, only for you to then not pay attention to my patient reply. You have made it a breeze, with your standard, negligently researched assumptions, to prove that your charges are utterly false, and that your argument has no leg to stand on. In your rejecting of even my beginning to explain to you, that basic understanding, which you lack, you claim that:

1) when I "first heard" of this incident, I "assumed it was by a white officer."

2) That I subsequently found out the race of the officer, so I am, "desperately trying to blame some version of systemic racism."

All your huffing & puffing proves only this: you didn't even bother to read my Opening Post, in formulating your "considered" opinion. Allow me, to make you a little less clueless:

Well he looks extremely threatening-- I can see why the cop, who'd ordered everyone out of the house, for some reason, would immediately shoot at center mass, of this perceived danger.

The boy was very lucky, to survive with only a collapsed lung, lacerated liver, and broken ribs. Serves him right, for listening to the cop's order.

I can't tell you about the body cam video, because it has not yet been released-- don't ask me why. What shows that this is a problem of police culture, is that the officer, in this case, is also black.

So either this is happening, also, to 11 year old white boys, and the press is hiding it from us, or there is clearly a systemic over aggressiveness, in policing the black community.

As an aside, this is one reason that it is intentional ignorance, of anyone pretending that there is still not a racial animus directed against blacks. And this suggests why the California Commission on Reparations, had recommended that any black person living in California, deserved a monetary settlement, for every year they'd lived in CA, under this system of "over- policing."
<End OP>

So you see Mike-- you have no idea, what you're saying. I knew, and pointed out, in the OP, that the officer was black. Also, rather than the systemic racism being a pathetic argument, just to cover for my own making unwarranted claims, prematurally-- something you are personally familiar with?-- that it was a black cop, strengthens the case, IMO, suggesting a systemic police attitude, affecting all regardless of race.

 

Police don't really care about your rights.

They will unjustly shoot or electrocute or beat your white ass just like they will any other color ass.

As a matter of fact if you look at the regulations you'll probably see more cases like thats

 

I don't care if you're white they'll still kill you over a pellet gun or a pellet pistol or even a cap gun

 

There is no issue of systemic racism nor could you actually use data to support that claim. It’s an anecdotally based emotional claim.

Data around law enforcement demonstrates they are overwhelmingly doing the right thing.

 

What you say is certainly true. The difference is it is harder for white people abused by the police to find interested civil rights attorneys who will sue the police when misconduct occurs, or to find media who are interested in reporting an incident involving white people.

 

Most of the left are too emotional to recognize white people deal with racism as well. In fact, the left laugh at it.

In fact, most of the racism today is directed at white people. We just pretend it isn’t racism.

 

Not only is no data provided to support the claim other than the one incident for which all facts are not known at this time -- the claim is emotionally linked to so called reparations in another state. lol

 

Most of the anti police nonsense is emotionally based. Stats prove officers are doing the right thing. But a few anecdotes on the MSM is all it took to socially engineer half our society to hate them.

At best, I see the msm use half stats to make fallacious claims about police. But when viewed in their totality he claims fall apart.

 

Your "understanding," is as faulty as was Lil Mike's, which I exposed, a few posts back. There was no "emotional" linkage, to Reparations. I was speaking to those who put forth the ridiculously false argument, in that recent thread-- and who contend this, whenever racism is discussed-- that there is no racism, negatively affecting blacks. I could not remember all the geniuses who'd responded that none of the people who would be receiving the recommended payments (which the state will not be giving, btw) had, themselves, been slaves. That is because racist practices did not end with slavery.

The payments suggested by the CA Commission, had been for those who had been affected personally by REDLINING, during the years it was practiced, in California, and for the entire black population, over a span of specific years, due to their being subject to "OVER-POLICING." So I was pointing to a seeming example of this phenomenon-- since many in that thread had a hard time grasping the concept-- in our current story. IOW, I had merely been pointing to evidence of something which it gets tiresome, hearing certain people always denying exists. It is a mystery, why you would connect my making this rational point, with emotionality-- in fact, in my citing this, toward both past, as well as for future debates, it was your interpretation, which it seems as if was emotionally rendered. Your response, of thinking that my opinion of police over aggressiveness toward minorities, was based on only this one incident, is unbelievably dense, and indicative of your emotional response, to hearing my opinion.

 

Claiming to not be racist also applies to you too. So I’d keep the projection to a minimum if I were you.

Being skeptical of foolish claims of systemic police brutality does not make one racist.

 

You're right. I missed that that you identified the officer as black in the OP. Which somehow makes your intent to make this about systemic racism even more stupid.

"So either this is happening, also, to 11 year old white boys, and the press is hiding it from us, or there is clearly a systemic over aggressiveness, in policing the black community."

When the investigation completes, we'll see if this is about this officer, or about the system. I'm still betting on the officer.

 

You can say this, while the city national bank was made to pay 31 million bucks this year for redlining black and latino's.
And it's not as if this is unusual. Discrimination was massive and all over with the aid of the government or with a government looking the other way.

And it's not as if there is no discrimination happening. Using a ethnic black name will still seriously hurt your chances of you landing an interview.


The only way to get an end to that is to make people, the government and companies to pay up.

 

Using a black name does not hurt your chances at an interview. That was debunked long ago. That study did not at all provide equal resumes.

And it’s only rational that everyone, including white people who have endured discrimination, be paid as well.

 

No, I don't know the answer to that question.

The simple answer is that population density make it more likely

 

That's ridiculous. My answer made all the variables equal. Yours did not.

 

not exactly convincing
