    The cops kill more white people than blacks. It just seems otherwise because the media widely reports on blacks killed by the police but remain relatively silent when the victim of the police is white.

    probably be a plea bargain at this point

    he chose not to remain silent, a mistake for the innocent or guilty

    Lethal Force in some instances IS LEGAL in Texas - to stop property crimes - robbery, burglary, theft, including at night.

    Thank God I live in Texas.

    true, we never heard much about the white bug exterminator that was exterminated by the police, in fact the officer that killed him is getting paid because he claims he got PTSD from killing him

    "This Cop Is Getting $2,500 a Month Because Killing an Unarmed Man in a Hotel Hallway Gave Him PTSD"

    https://reason.com/2019/07/11/this-...unarmed-man-in-a-hotel-hallway-gave-him-ptsd/

    "An Arizona cop acquitted of murder in 2017 for killing a man crawling on his knees, begging for his life, in a hotel hallway, was temporarily rehired by the city he worked for so that he could claim a disability pension and file for a medical retirement that will pay him more than $2,500 a month for the rest of his life."

    this is a lot like the Gabby Petito case, some victims get more attention than others, why, who knows, but not all cases interest the public equally

    To account for Becker's flaws. And then they admitted that their own test has its own flaws. From the last paragraph talking about the threshold test:

    And again, there is the whole "inference" thing that is talked about. Again, just to remind you, "infer" = assumptions being made.

    Do you know what "argumentum ad verecundiam" means? It's an appeal to authority. Essentially it means that you are appealing to the authority as an argument as to why this "study" should be believed. And it is a fallacy. Even the greatest and smartest of people, groups, and education centers can be wrong. That is why it is considered a fallacy. I wouldn't care if God Himself came down and told me that study is correct. I'd still demand hard proof. And I never demanded a better source. I demanded hard proof. Not assumptions.

    I do not have ALL THE FACTS in front of me, and neither do you.

    I'll wait for the jury's verdict. Call me crazy for being rational...

    based on what we know today does not sound like a legal killing to me

    There is a culture about how things go. Scientist have looked at it.
    People who deny think it's all a conspiracy, like they also think Donald won the elections.

    It's not a conspiracy when scientists prove their things... in this case they proved systemic racism.

    A stand your ground law is about not having a duty to retreat. In this case the white thug wasn't made to retreat.... he chased his victim in order to kill him. So it's the victim who was being made to retreat.

    And we do not have to wait to see what the excuse the man gave.
    He told the cops that his victim was armed and so shot him in self defense.
    That's what he said, but the victim wasn't armed.... so he lied.

    It's an open and shut case. But I guess people must find an excuse how a white guy must be getting away with killing a brown people.... and they are still searching for it.

    You're not proving a thing that the vandalizations are done by Muslims. The vandalizations could just as well be linked to the victims of those pedophile harboring institutions. France alone as has over 200,000 victims. While in Germany alone 188 hate crimes against Muslims were made in 3 months, among them 15 against mosques. The other kettle is obviously more black.

    Why do folks like you ALWAYS fail to mention that those "pedophiles" were, for the far greater majority, homosexual child predators PRETENDING to be Priests - especially in the case of the Catholic Church?

    Why the leadership of the Church seems to have an awful lot of homosexual child predators is anyone's guess - my guess is that they know they are evil and maybe believed becoming a Priest would cure them - however, they are most definitely NOT honoring the vows they took.

    That's the guy who was not found guilty, where it means in your eyes he is still guilty but got away with it.... like I said in my previous post. But you're just doubling down on your wrong.

    To look at overal numbers in who gets killed more, says a lot about how dishonest you are by childishly disregarding that black people are a minority. When looking at how many unarmed people per 1000 of a certain ethnicity gets killed, it clearly shows the predominantly white police force got this disturbing habit of killing unarmed black people twice as often %-wise. That falls on par with the predominantly white police force arresting far more black people over drug related offenses, while white commit more drug related offenses %-wise and overal. Driving while black is also a true phenomena. That's how you prove that systemic racism in the US police force is obviously very present.

    Yes, found not guilty. And then sued for the murder and lost. He even wrote a book about how to get away with murder. Ironically he lost a law suit for the money made from the book.

    In either case we're getting away from your claim. Are you going to continue to post examples? Remember, we're supposed to go one for one.

    They do not say it's flawed as in the way they say the Becker way is misleading. You only got as far as saying it is limited while stick to their conclusion of "This double standard is evidence of discrimination."

    what assumptions?
    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/infer
    to reach an opinion from available information or facts

    argumentum ad verecundiam only applies if Stanford opinion about systemic racism wasn't based on scientific research, but it is.

    There are no assumptions being made. Stanford did scientific statistical research.
    While your opinion that it's not good enough.... is not scientific, not based on anything except your little puny biased opinion.
    You're just full of ill will to admit that racism in systemic and present in the US police force.

    I said that "most modern studies" show that there are actually five races -- I did not say that I believe that, or, other studies which also add yet one more -- "Amerindian" (American Indian), as differentiated from East-Asian "Oriental". :omg: . 8)

    You were asked which race the "Moroccan" is a part of, and because your comments indicated that you don't acknowledge more than one human 'race', the logical thing was to point out the FACT that there are at least three -- Caucasian (White), East-Asian ("Oriental"), and Negro (Black).

    But, now you've decided to switch over to "ethnicity", since the "race" thing hasn't worked out for your argument. Now you say that "Moroccans are simply brown, and the key thing is that white American has a thing against brown Muslims", which, in summation, may be among the more groundless, unproven, and simple-minded assertions about anything I've read in a very long time....

    Whether the "White Texan property-owner" is guilty of a crime will be determined in due course, but it is to be hoped that all legal conclusions will be based on FACTS, not unfounded conjecture about the dead man being a "simply brown Moroccan"....

    Hang on... pedophiles between between quotation marks... as in not really pedophiles? You're really know how to scold a victim of those PEDOPHILES. Good job on you, bravo.

    Them... PEDOPHILES... did not pretend to be priests, they actually were/are priests!!

    Keen reason to not view them as a homosexual problem, is that them... PEDOPHILES ... all received equal treatment by the Catholic church, and did not care if they were homosexual or straight. You seem to have a problem with homosexuals though. That's obvious since you are deliberately disregarding straight pedophiles. tss tss.

    The driver's race is most likely why he was killed, sadly, so it absolutely bears mentioning.

    And no, there was not obviously an escalation. All that's obvious is that there was a killing as the victim attempted to flee.

    As for Floyd, not a good reference for you. He was simply resisting being placed in the cruiser, but was doing so while cuffed and not aggressively.

    Are you serious? Please tell me the above is a ****ing joke.

    Judges are bound by the penal code. Here, the penal code doesn't allow for the action taken. FFS. You're just as delusional as he is.
