    Its built into human nature. It's evolution. Are police more cautious around black males, hell yes because black males are 15 times more likely to be criminals than everyone else. At the end of the day they want to go back home to their families and if that means hurting your feelings than tough ****....stop committing crimes. There is a reason that cops don't get nearly as nervous around Asians because Asians are 10 less likely to be criminals than whites.

    The facts are that the arrest ratio is identical to the conviction ratio meaning that when black people are arrested they end up convicted. There is NO evidence of police colluding to put away more black people than other races. The problem isn't the cops its the judicial system. There IS evidence of longer sentencing when it comes to blacks. But instead of going after the liberal judges blacks decide to blame cops. Blame everyone but themselves.

    You don't get to bitch about people looking at you funny when you are committing half the homicides in this country and are only 4% of the population.

    You brought up the law as if it is supposed to prove some sort of just and enforced moral. You never realized that the written law is broken day in and day out by "bad guys"? If you have two eyes and two ears I think it is high time you open all 4 of them.

    Someone lied to you. The ice beneath your feet isn't nearly as thick as you believe.

    LMAO......Oh and where does it say OUCH in the GQ Headline? Don't tell us that you are seeing things not there again Cigar.

    Typical Leftist, had to make some **** up that was never there in the first place.

    Oh and from your uhm source.

    But a simple act—kneeling during the national anthem—changed everything. It cost him his job. It also transformed Colin Kaepernick into a lightning rod and a powerful symbol of activism and resistance.....snip~

    Since when is a Stain of the country a powerful symbol of activism and resistance. You must have forgot this mope couldn't figure out that the Flag and Anthem don't represent his tissue issues. :lol:

    No, I brought up the law because this idiot, and idiots like him, are protesting racial injustice in this country. I would like to see some iron-clad proof of these injustices. Should be pretty easy since it's such a huge issue right? So show me a law that proves it. Show me an incident that proves it. Show me anything other than stupid 'hands up don't shoot' chants that have been proven to be a 100% lie.

    I didn't realize helping younger kids in the city, job training for the homeless and non-profits in NY were make believe causes.

    So, approximately 30 million black people in the country. You've named 2 that may or may not be racially motivated. Yes, what an epidemic

    Wearing socks with pigs as cops is not a noble cause.

    Yeah a 200lb 5'7" 12 year old with a hoodie pointing a realistic looking fake gun.

    Pretty much your average 12 year old right there. He didn't resemble an adult at all.

    Besides, one of the highest categories of murderers is 14-18 year olds.

    You said show you an incident, I mentioned 2 and those are just the ones off the top of my head. There's more than just those, you've got Eric Garner's death, Walter Scott's death, Philando Castille's death, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, etc.

    Nothing in the black community will change until black dudes raise their kids

    And that ain't gonna happen

    What might change is white guilt, it seems to be in freefall and blacks like keapernick are to blame for that

    I thought I was explaining a situation, not consoling people over the event.

    This of course means you know I'm right, and are veering into feelings-land.

    That's why I said "for example" since there's several things that suggest we're not as great as we think we are. Because aside from racial and wage issues, you've got things like the huge number of mass shootings (like California yesterday), top 20 countries with high homicide rates, high incarceration rates, too much military spending, massive debt among several others.

    Right about what? 14-18 year olds being the highest murder category doesn't negate anything.

    Oh it absolutely does.

    You see the cop knows that the most risk he faces are against young men pointing guns at people in public, and a 5'7 200lb 12 year old doesn't look 12 years old.
