    I look forward to you backing up that bovine excrement. Could it be that black kids don't get the speech because their father is MIA? Maybe they need to start teaching how to interact with cops in school.

    No! You be honest about it. Have you seen how police treat gunners who have actually killed people... who have a gun in their hands. They subdue them with no incident. The kid who killed two people in Kenosha. But they just happened to be white. They even took the mass murderer in Aurora out for a burger. No shots fired. Nobody was strangled to death. This is a known killer. Compare that to how they treat black guys like Floyd or... this guy. Who they have not indication whatsoever that they have committed or would commit a crime.

    Why would they think that Floyd, or this guy... was a threat to them... But not shooters who have already killed multiple people? Because the former are black... and the latter are white!

    Get over it! What has to change is this racist mentality among cops. And it's usually not even the cops' fault. It's institutional racism. They have been "wired" to think this way. The racist mentality that you defend. Because the people who know they will be on the receiving end are not the ones who need to change.

    And I don't know if cops can change. "Defund the police" makes more and more sense every day. But at a minimum, many police precincts need to be dismantled an rebuilt from the ground up.

    OK. One step at a time. Did the policeman shoot Jacob Blake in Kenosha immediately after he resisted arrest?

    I made my point quite well.

    I spoon fed you the information and you couldn't be bothered to watch it, as usual.

    Reality is problematic for the leftist mind.

    Read my sig!!!!

    This piece of advice has spared many on this forum the embarrassment of making fools of themselves.

    Here is data from the real time database that has been kept by the WaPo since 2015
    upload_2020-8-27_21-0-50.png
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/

    Here you can find reference to several studies in specific localities where it was found that black people have six time greater chance of being killed by police than white people
    https://www.newscientist.com/articl...-6-times-more-black-people-than-white-people/

    Here is an interesting study that reveals two things: one is how data about police shootings has been repressed by the FBI in the last few years. However, completing the missing information through FOIA requests, they found how black people are disproportionately shot when they pose no immediate threat, than white people do.
    https://www.pnas.org/content/116/32/15877

    Here is another study showing how disproportionate the number of blacks shot by police is, despite the fact that black people shot are much less likely to be armed
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6080222/

    Anyway... I could go on and on... But you have now been educated.

    Next time you might want to read my sig!!!

    Gee... I don't know... Why else would you display such excitement at the thought of me being killed if I were ever arrested?

    I just couldn't come up with another explanation. But you tell me....

    You appear more concerned about them getting paid or not than you are about them (or their teammates... or somebody in their family) getting killed.

    Looks like they are more concerned about the latter.

    Did your link contain a few other facts? For instance, according to a San Francisco study, blacks resisted arrest eight times as often as whites. Did they mention that about the same number of blacks are killed by other blacks as whites are killed by whites. The blacks do this with about one seventh the population?

    I wasn't arguing about who gets shot more. I was arguing about your. Claim that only black kids need the talk and how black parents raise their children.

    I read this and copied it word for word. It appears to be very appropriate.

    Estranged boyfriend is at the ex's house in violation of restraining order. He has a criminal record to include felony weapons charges, involving a firearm and a knife. Ex calls the cops. Cops attempt verbal persuasion, arrest control techniques, then finally a Taser, which fails. Resisting arrest, the boyfriend runs to the driver side of his vehicle. There is a knife in the floorboard. You are one of the police officers. How do you protect yourself, your partner, the girlfriend, the children, and the general public. You have half a second to decide. What do you do next?

    Excitement? You being killed? Do you always just make sh*t up as you go along?

    I made a statement of fact...

    ...and you got all of that out of it?

    I guess that explains some things.

    Blacks are eight times more likely to resist arrest according to the San Francisco study. Other studies from other cities have similar results. I have said repeatedly that resisting arrest tends to lead to confrontation with law enforcement and more shootings. That explains why blacks tend to get shot more by law enforcement than whites.

    It seems fairly straight forward to me.

    "Excitement"! Yes... Do you not read your own posts before sending them?

    You have yet to make a single statement of fact.

    This is what you said. "In the real world resisting will absolutely, and rightly so, get you killed."

    Where the hell did you get this idea that if you resist arrest you will "absolutely" get killed? The fact is that you have an immensely bigger chance of getting killed if you are black. But that's it. I don't even think (though I don't know for sure) that even if you are black you so "absolutely" get killed as you so excitedly express.

    And "rightly so"? My God! And you talk about "dreams". You live in a fantasy and you're not even asleep

    But that's the type of nonsense people express when their excitement overpowers their reason.

    You have to be very careful here, kid. We can extrapolate quite a bit about how you think from what you write.

    Proportional to how much more often they resist.

    Good. Game day salary loss is 39% with endorsement forfeit. I bet they decide to keep going with the NBA playoffs. A lot of money to lose for these intellectuals.

    Well... that's not surprising, given that they are like eight times more likely to BE arrested.

    Of course, if they were serious about supporting the protests, they would boycott the remainder of the play-offs. One option would be to team up with the rioters and looters and arsonists instead of playing ball. Imagine the support they could drum up among their fans if they were to show up in person and toss a firebomb or two.

    So you're a mind reader too. You're awesome.

    Tell me what that means Carnac.
