I have 9500 on ignore so I don't have to see his idiocy. Please don't quote him.Because Philandro Castile & Alton Sterling were shot & killed by the police 2-3 days earlier. Gavin Long shot 6 police officers about 10 days later in La. Also look up Mark Essex in New Orleans 1972-73. Every once in a while, someone strikes back.
Anybody remember when 5 Dallas Policemen were killed? Why was that? Originally Posted by gnadfly

It is so disheartening you would use this video to justify that black people fighting for equal rights are wrong. I believe you failed.1. This video is very disturbing, it shows how reckless some cops may be and confirms what black people are saying.
No. you miss the point completely. it confirms blacks aren't treated any differently than others by police.
2. The cops in the video did not care about the life of a mentally ill white man and treated him the way they typically treat black people. Or Maybe the other way around- they perceive black people as mentally ill and dangerous. Hence, the extreme treatment in most cases. (It is necessary to mention, NOT ALL COPS)
that is one of the most ignorant and bigoted statements ever on this website. the vast majority of cops do not feel that way. if they did there would be ten times as many cases of excessive use of force.
These people are not protesting because they think u are racist. No, they are protesting against systematic racism. IT MEANS some of the rules and laws of this country does not favor them. So calm down my friend and find a way to help.
some of the rules and laws of this country don't favor them? they don't favor anyone. they apply equally to all except some seem to have more trouble obeying them than others
This is the greatest country in the world and the only country that fix this complex issue. The world is looking up to us. This is not about far right or far left, blue versus black. Of course all lives matter, but on this subject black lives matter. Originally Posted by jsem7k

Hmmm. Still doesn't surprise me you would keep slaves.
Remember the Senate was not elected in those days. It was selected from the wealthy. Men, as Madison put it, had sympathy for property owners and their rights. If you read the debates at the constitutional convention, Madison said the major concern of the society has to be "to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority."

I do, however, get that most people considered that case to be "isolated", whereas many feel Floyd is one of many.. his murder came on the heels of 2 other Nationally-charged black murders as well.Isolated doesn’t even begin to describe it. An innocent black man is less likely to die at the hands of police than he is to fall into the Grand Canyon or get attacked by velociraptors.
It is so disheartening you would use this video to justify that black people fighting for equal rights are wrong.Why would they be fighting for equal rights? What rights do black people not have that other races do?
