    Yes, 70 years ago there were injustices against blacks. Got anything since the 60s?

    What about if you're rich and black?

    Surely you can give a link or two of these blacks who were gunned down for weren't breaking laws.

    Nah, I see facts and statistics. I don't need alternate realities where there is institutional racism, roaming hoards of cops gunning down innocent blacks, etc. But again, if you can provide examples, I'm willing to listen

    Is that suppose to be a joke.

    The treatment is the same as if you are poor and black.

    So it is racist to kill a young adult that was just involved in a drive-by shooting? There was plenty of evidence that he was involved in the drive-by...and plenty to imply he was even the shooter. The guy that was shot said it was him.....he had GSR on his hands...the magazine for the 9mm that was found under his seat in the car was in his pocket. The fact that he was running away and unarmed when he was shot is irrelevant. He already proved he was violent. If some innocent person had been harmed by Rose as he was trying to escape justice, the cop would have been just as responsible.

    This is why there is little support and sympathy for the BLM movement. While there is certainly cases where minorities are mis-treated and or killed when it did not call for it, this was not one of those cases. Attempting to ruin the life of the police officer just doing his job because of the actions of an individual that has proven their violent nature and disdain for the law......and then to call everybody "racist" that feels the cop was in the right....will NEVER garner much support.

    Rose was not killed because he was black. He was killed because he was a violent criminal.

    No joke

    OJ says hello

    It's odd how innocent blacks being gunned down by cops is such an epidemic, yet we can almost literally name every kid that was. Meaning, it happens so 'often', that we know them all by name....

    Unfortunately, people like you have watered down the word racist so much that it's really doesn't mean much anymore

    The kid could have shot a police officer, shot an innocent bystander, etc and people would still defend him. You see, because slavery existed 170 years ago, blacks should be allowed to do whatever they want now. And the more outraged they are, the more justification they have for doing what they want.

    How can you be a felon if you haven't even been arrested and charged with a felony and convicted of it in a court of law?

    Take charge of your destiny. You can always eliminate your stress by leaving yourself. You can get a nice cottage in Estonia. Or if you move to the middle of Siberia there won't be any black people within thousands of miles of you. Peace and harmony is within your reach if you want it.

    So if there's an active shooter in an elementary school, the cops shouldn't shoot him because he hasn't been arrested and convicted?

    Nothing wrong with black people. But black people who are career criminals I can do without.

    The guy claimed that it is ok for the Slave Patrol to murder someone as a fleeing felon. I pointed out that the murdered guy should not be classified as a felon because he might not have ever been arrested and convicted of any felony in his entire life.

    Last I heard evading arrest is a felony. He was committing one in the presence of the cops by running. If he hadn't run he'd be alive today.

    Good, glad to hear it. Let's hope we do have peaceful protests and it doesn't descend into thuggery.

    Why do you insist on providing facts and evidence to a debate? We're discussing feeling here.....

    Someone in Chicago committed a real felony the other day when he blasted a cop. So the score is even.

    One shot in the back, presumably the last. Other shots were right side of face and right elbow.1

    Yea, you're right, I shouldn't confuse them with facts. All any of them had to do is put their hands up and follow instructions from there. Anyone who makes bad choices like hanging out with criminals, then running from the cops when they show up......I have 0 sympathy for. Just my feelings.

    Wow! How callous of you. The cop was enforcing the law and the someone was breaking it. I can only wonder if you would feel the same if the felony committed was against you or your family.......I doubt it. Karma sucks.
