Of course you did. Most people like you do. Disconnected for diversity or gang violence.
I’ll keep that in mind.
I have my doubts.
Eat a dick.
Good one?
Notice how all the people blaming cops, disconnected from the reality of gang violence, live in college towns or other lilly-white areas.
Are you making an offer;)
No. That is what YOU notice. Confirmation bias.
No, how do you know that?
May I ask were you live that gives you such insight?
If you want an answer, you may want to get Gent’s e-mail address, and soon.
Suicide by mod. If only we had better mental health services.
Blacks are also, proportionally speaking, overly poor and undereducated. Which has nothing whatsoever to do with their genetics and very much to do with the society they live in and its historical baggage.
Most criminal gangs trace their roots to ethnic neighbourhood watches that sprung up organically to protect their “ghettos” from racist violence (often at the hands of the police, too) back in the day ; as well as your more strong-handed civil rights activist organizations (e.g. the Black Panthers and the US Organization became the Bloods & Crips after a long, deliberate campaign of subversion and decapitation by the FBI)
As such, it’s not exactly surprising that most of them are made up of minorities.
Which is more of an indictment of US demographic repartitions than anything. Criminals rarely operate far from home (particularly street criminals - your much dreaded gangs). This statistic - to the extent that it is, yanno, factual - simply states that blacks mostly still exist segregated from whites, on the “wrong” side of the tracks if you prefer.
You misunderstand me. Of course each individual precinct keeps records of every day to day incident.
But unlike, say, murders, there is no official & public state-wide or nation-wide statistical reporting of police-caused fatalities or their superficial details (such as the skin colour of the victims or their shooters, or the nature of the incident that prompted the killing).
It all stays in-house, which makes data sorting (and policy evaluation) difficult. Cynics might muse it is by design.
Considering what I just said, I would ask for a cite. But I don’t expect one, since you’ve just committed suicide-by-mod.
Poor watchamacallit
He was intolerant of tolerance and he got intolerated.
Bye.
Not appropriate.

Fair enough, I shouldn’t have done so. My only defense is I was drinking, watching the Rock lip-sync to Taylor Swift and couldn’t help myself.
On a more serious note, I think the federal authorities who decided not to start WWIII over Cliven Bundy’s antics behaved responsibly and I think it’s really noxious to hear people claiming they should have reenacted Waco because they’re upset over what local police departments have done.
“Committing antics while white”
Why is it called “antics” for some people and for others it’s: “He was reaching for something” or “He refused to obey a lawful order” (to explain why they are dead)?
[bolding mine]
I think the question is whether those unarmed people that weren’t breaking the law would have been shot if they were in fact armed. Especially if they were armed in larger numbers.
I had a bunch of responses for all the wrongness in Gent’s posts but I see he has been banned without anyone repeating his wrongness so I will just point out youa re wrong.
You are only 1800 times more likely to be shot during an arrest in the USA than in Norway. I assume its because your cops are just really bad shots 
That’s a feature, not a bug.
