    No. He was unarmed. Systemic racism.

    I can see you’re not actually interested in a conversation here. Thanks for the chuckles. See you around.

    My question is when the riots will begin.

    I'm sure many others are wondering the same thing...

    I am very interested in a conversation about an unarmed citizen murdered by police. The systemic racism must stop.

    It's no different than the conversation the BLM protesters/rioters were interested in.

    Aren't you interested in having a "conversation"?

    Indeed. Systematic racism is nothing to joke about...

    Actually I did not know the history of it. So then is 'America's interests first' xenophobic?

    "White America First" would be a racist sentiment. "America First" is unqualified and would hence include all Americans.

    Dude, you're being ULTRA trolled! He obviously doesn't believe that sexism and systemic racism lead to the shooting! You seriously can't see it?

    Why can't you use the effective comparative argument of Daniel Shaver WITHOUT the 'systemic racism' troll?

    Sure I am, but I’m not keen on beating my head against a wall.

    I could see it being argued both ways. Guess the best I can say is yes and no? Seems to make us sound like undesirable trading partners though.

    Leaving aside the ridiculous 'systemic racism' troll from @Bow To The Robots, the shooting of Daniel Shaver is actually a good example of an unarmed shooting which was totally unjust, but which the media did not give one DAMN about.

    The KKK didn’t make the distinction, though I’m sure it’s what they intended.

    I fully understand that "I think if you can't show that the officer didn't know then the shooting is justified" is what you SAID, but I don't know what you mean when you refer to that as a "premise."

    I can see it clear enough. I like to give people a chance in case I’m wrong. I’m ultimately here to entertain myself so if a person is entertaining to talk to I don’t always mind if they’re trolling.

    Oh I absolutely agree the shooting was unjust. I don’t particularly like cops or our justice system. When a shoot is bad, I’m willing to call it as such.

    I think race may have played on the expected mileage of the story. Probably why it didn’t blow up the news cycle. Is that systemic racism? Not sure.

    No I wouldn’t say so. I was just trying to come up with a phrase I felt to be similar to Leftist. Not by definition insulting and some/many(?) wear it with pride, but can be used as an insult all the same.

    What it IS, is an outrageous double standard.

    Some people use 'rightist' but I'm not sure that it works really.
