    What is wrong with the part about "Brown’s newfound exploration of Christianity?"

    Because it sounds like B.S. thrown in to garner sympathy.

    Yeah, I see what you mean. I just love how the NYT didn't press him on the fact that he said that his hands
    could've been "all the way down!" :roflol: When "hands up, don't shoot" was thrown around everywhere at the time!

    What people do not mention is this:

    You can be a threat to a police officer (or anyone else) whether you are armed or not. In fact police routinely designate a threatening person within 8 yards (24 feet) as a possible threat whether they are armed or not.

    Yeah, the Washington Post article neglects to mention that. It's okay though, because his hands were "DEFINITELY UP" even though they may have actually been "FULLY DOWN!" :roflol:

    From what you say it would appear United States Policemen are people who can kill at will. Statistics show particularly enjoying the killing of black people. What a sad country the US must be where people do not even have the freedom to walk down the street without fear of murder if they meet one of these State Employed assassins.

    More black people are killed by police in the U.S. because they commit a disproportionate number of crimes. Nothing more. But police do have greater freedom to use deadly force than untrained civilians. This is pretty much a necessity.

    Disproportionately? Then whites should have more killed since there are more whites yet that is not the case.

    White COPS? And "whites should have more killed" doesn't make sense. Grammar is poor.

    EVERY police officer is a "state Employed assassin?" Is every Muslim a terrorist? Clearly you would say NO, so do you admit your insane double standard? I'll be STUNNED if I hear back from you! :roflol:

    Well, when Brown's version of Christianity includes theft and assault then yes, there is something wrong.

    even if they did due to their subordinate position, that does not excuse the by proportion to whites far more killing of blacks when it either is not necessary or when they are unarmed.
    If we know this in the UK and you do not in your own country, sad.
    Bad behaviour by the police including the killing, particularly of non white people is endemic in the US. The Guardian did research on it a couple of years ago. It makes interesting reading. No of people killed at the hands of the police in 2016, 1093. You do not do so many State endorsed killings but if you included the number killed by the police you would be up with the worst of the,...and what is more if we look at who the police killed by ethnicity. % killed per million of the population.
    10.13% were Native American
    6.6% black
    3.23% Hispanic/Latino
    2.9% white
    1.17% Asian Pacific Islander.

    The link gives you full details
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...un/01/the-counted-police-killings-us-database

    See you are still killing off the indigenous people of the US and them even more than blacks. It gets even worse, death by police is one of the main causes of death for young Americans.

    Police shootings are a leading cause of death for young American men, new research shows

    UK people go crazy the few times our police kill someone. What is wrong with the people of the US, even more seeing there young being killed.

    Well if he was that would suggest you are a raging racist. He was copying your laughter but putting it on Jews to see how you would respond.

    Where exactly did I say anything along the lines of, "I laugh uncontrollably when I see a dead black person on a stick?" Stop being so dishonest. You know perfectly well that I'm laughing at the RIDICULOUSNESS of Johnson's words! And where's your response to this?: http://www.politicalforum.com/index...g-sticks-by-his-story.560146/#post-1070874544

    No but the iconic role of a mythical person is most hilarious. Now tell me Jews and Arabs believe in Jesus..
