Your problem, I think, is that your videos don’t have any savages, hoods, hoodlums, thugs, gangbangers, beasts, animals, brutes, suspects, persons of interest, shady ghetto types in them.
No matter how many pieces of anecdotal evidence you care pull out, it doesn’t prove anything beyond those incidents. How would it strike you if I did the same thing with black men attacking whites?
…because it’s all bull feces. What you should be looking at is that 52.6% of all murders charged, are against black males which only represent 6% of the population. If you defy a direct police order, then by your actions/inactions, you just exacerbated the situation towards a violent confrontation. Why do you just overlook that? Why?
It has to do with pointing to isolated incidents and claiming it applies to all members of a group. If any group has reason to apologize to Americans, it’s not police, its black men. If the criteria is, lets look at statistics and people killed, black males, hands down, winners.
I watched all four of them. The one from Denton, TX has a strange uniform.
The others appear to have something in common to me (besides “WHITE”!). Without more information it is difficult to be sure, but quite different from the vast majority of the famous cases we are protesting.
Any guesses?
With the exception of the 1st one possibly.
Of course any of them could have resulted in a shooting. The one with the baton probably should have.
I didn’t see a link to the actual study. Do you have that?
reading the NPR piece, it sounds like the study concluded black cops were just as likely to shoot black citizens, which doesn’t dispel the notion that black citizens are shot more frequently by cops.
