    Call them up and ask them, that way you won't have to wonder anymore.

    To expand on this.

    I'm 100% on the justice issue, officers covering for officers and think rules should change, 100% behind body cams to help overcome some of these discrepancies as well.

    But massive organized looting only reinforces negative stereotypes that people are trying so hard to prove wrong.

    Pray tell, was there ever a point in human history where committing acts deemed to be rape or murder was considered an acceptable, legal endeavor at the time? Or have such acts always been deemed and classified as crimes for as long as civilizations have existed? Slavery has been seen as a legal and legitimate institution since the dawn of the human species. It is only by recent standards that such an established view has been rejected by those who thought otherwise, and had enough political clout to pursue such changes being implemented.

    Again, why should those who are considered white, be held to a higher standard of review than any other race that practiced slavery? What serves to make them so much more unique or worse than all other races who practiced such?

    I know your town and have visited it, I'm 40 minutes south. Your news at night is even more boring than mine, which is good.

    I agree, and warned that ANTIFA would come to high jack the protests when they began.

    So you don't believe they should be vilified for their mob looting and violence?

    Thanks for clarifying your point. Your initial statement pointed out that a small number of police are bad, but then threw a blanket statement across black crime.

    The percentage of blacks living in inner-cities where both crime rates and poverty are highly concentrated in this country has fallen over the years to 8% of the total African American population. Of course those areas will have a heavy police presence. Seems like most news is going to focus a microscope on a few pockets of America, making it appear that "blacks are criminals" and "police are racists who are always hunting down black people".

    Over the decades, more and more blacks have left those bad neighborhoods for a better life and better opportunities elsewhere. In 1990, 57% of African Americans lived in central cities (though most lived outside the extremely high-crime neighborhoods). By 2016, 52% of urban African Americans had moved out to the suburbs of large cities. If the trend continues of "black flight" out of inner-cities to more diverse suburbs, perhaps the inner-city crime problem becomes somewhat self-extinguishing.

    Never thought about it before as being one large "process" crime.

    So what % of black folks would you say were actually shooting at the police? What % of black folks would you say are burning stuff and creating chaos? Where in the hell did I try to justify this behavior?[/QUOTE]

    I look at it this way. The golden rule. Treat others with respect. It would be nice at some point for that to be reciprocated. It feels like there are lots of folks out there who forgot what that rule is or what it's about. When folks shoot at police, why do you care, suddenly, about the %s of the whole? I mean, it seems opportunistic at best that you would use a statistic here at all given that statistics actually entirely undermine your narratives.

    A black man has a 0.1% chance of being killed by police across his entire lifetime. (One-tenth of 1%.) While that is double the risk of a white man being killed by police (0.04%), it is still a very, very tiny percent of the population. And is there any reason, other than race, which might cause the numbers to be higher? There aren't very many white gangs in America compared to black and Hispanic gangs where the criminals are likely to be caught on camera and identified. You won't find as many white men shooting other white men over "turf", or doing drive by shootings and killing innocent people, including children, in their own neighborhoods.

    Perfect question. One notices, however, that no leftist is willing to touch it. Considering that ALL of the cities currently on fire are run by Dem Party mayors and many of those cities have Black police chiefs -- carefully vetted to be sure that THEY always vote Democrat; it seems that what Blacks really have a problem with . . . is the Dem Party itself.

    Protestors of any skin tone or ethnicity are ALWAYS vilified. A study of history teaches precisely that lesson. So you protest PEACEFULLY anyway . . . and if you are genuine in your sentiments then you DEMAND that any violence attached to your protest gets put down hard by the authorities so that the sentiment behind your protesting can remain pure and peaceful and unsullied. But thats NOT what's happening. Where are all the Black leaders and the WOKE SJW White leaders and the sympathetic -- suitbly Brown -- Hispanic leaders demanding that these rioters and their violent rioting get handled with the firm and complete power of the law? It's absolutely nowhere to be found.

    What in 7 hells do you think they were doing to slaves?

    So how is the crime any different? Just because you seem it legal still doesn't change the fact that it is a crime against humanity. What civilized human beings seem slavery legal?

    Because you claimed you were civilized while you called people of color savages.

    How is trying to.justify slavery any different than someone trying to justify rape or murder.

    I don't doubt that is an effective (if extreme) way to fix areas. The problem is that it does nothing to fix the people.

    Unfortunately I don't have any idea on how to do that.

    And the left pushes it on the black community by placing 80% of PPH outside communities that make up 6% of the population.
