    The stretch of your imagination is impressive.

    First off, non-LE gun owners are trained differently from police. You should check out the 'shoot first curriculum' of firearm training that DHS has been pushing on federal, state and local LE nationwide for some years now. Non-LE gun owners are still taught to not shoot until they are certain.

    As to the logical fallacy of your premise... If average citizen gun owners cant be trusted with firearms, then cops are going to be the ones to (try) to take those firearms away.

    If cops cant be trusted with the firearms that they will need to take guns from untrustworthy civilians... then what is it exactly you think needs to be done about civilian gun ownership?

    That's the whole point. I've seen maybe one that has sympathy from the right. Where's yours? This blue life does matter, right?

    It's St Louis, a Jim Crow city to the bone. The Slave Patrol is in full force there. Now watch the coverup for the thug cop.

    Now this should put the lie to rest that I claimed that the young man who was beaten and tortured was reaping what he had sown.

    This is a conversation between Bluesguy and myself.

    Why is it that when Jewish folks teach their kids History its called, "Remembering". When black folks teach our kids about our sojourn in America its called, "Racist".

    Sorry, you can't change History.


    Sorry you can't put the ills of America on the feet of a black man, this is something that has damaged society since the first slaves got off the boat.

    There is a parable that says, "you reap what you sow". What kind of seeds has many in America sown?
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/man-‘tied-up-tortured’-on-facebook-live-in-chicago.490354/page-22[/quote]

    Now we were speaking of Pres. Obama, so please show me where I claimed this young man was reaping what he had sown. Now I have put the thread up for anyone who wants to go back and read that thread for themselves and see you for the liar you are.

    I also noticed you didn't post this out of that thread:

    Touché. Can't argue with that.

    I never said you said any of that.

    Your post was simply an example of justifying racism and the subject was justifying kicking an old white couple off their land.

    If you are going to defend yourself at least get the subject matter correct before you make a false defense.

    Seems to me that this is a horribly unfortunate accident, and it is equally fortunate that the cop didn't die as a consequence.

    I can totally see how a cop walking up on a scene where a previously prone person with a gun getting up and walking towards a LEO is viewed as a threat - particularly if he still had his gun in his hand.

    I don't think color has a thing to do with this, and it's shameful that the cop's attorney would be race-baiting in order to get he and his client paid.

    If I were the black cop, I'd have a very hard time with my representation playing the victim card through race baiting. It's an honest mistake, and one I could see any cop making, regardless of race.

    Perhaps new information will change my opinion, but that's my opinion based upon what I know of this case so far.

    How do you explain the fact that the opposite happens in other countries? Where I live, the thugs are almost always white, and you're pretty much ruled out as a suspect/criminal if you're a minority (other than a particular race which shall be nameless but starts with an A and ends in a b)? The important point here is that police are trained in risk management. If statistics say most thugs are white, then whites will attract more negative attention (and get shot more) than non-whites. The opposite happens to be the case in America.

    It has NOTHING to do with racism - it's probabilities, statistics, risk management. Non-emotive and entirely impersonal management of safety of the community and police officers.

    You didn't.

    Even in the end you are not man enough to stand behind your words. I guess that lie has been put to a rest.

    You really should be more careful before you call people liars.

    Here is the screenshot again:

    [​IMG]

    That is the only pic I quoted of your racism in this thread. You linked to a totally different thread where I quoted other racist statements you made so let's get that accurate because clearly you cannot be.

    The quote here as you justifying kicking white people off land they owned because of the color of their skin and again just like you did with the blacks beating up the retarded white kid you threw the reap what you sow line to justify that racism.

    And, you still cannot give us any justification for the quotes you said in those other threads I quoted you saying.

    You have repeatedly responded to black on white racism by quoting "you reap what you sow" justifying that racism and still even here you aren't "man enough" to explain your claim you were taken out of context which you were not.

    I agree that reason is used too often and even in incidents where the cop clearly make a mistake. Unfortunately the courts don't hold them responsible, that is the real issue.

    How? Be specific.

    You've proven nothing. I have your quotes which I've posted. I'm still waiting for you to provide the quotes where you somehow think it negates what you've already said.

    I see you ran away from your justification for kicking white people off their farms using the same argument you used with the retarded white kid.

    So predictable.

    Black lives don't matter to Black Lives Matter. It's just a cop hating group. They're like colored feminists, because feminism is all about hating men these days. It doesn't have any respect, merit, or real goals.

    You've proven nothing except your inability to explain how your exact words aren't justifying open racism when the screenshot of your own words is posted right here for all to see.

    That's the thing with racist filth like that.

    They don't believe the racist filth they constantly blather out is actually racist.

    They ignorantly thinkbelieve the racist crap they believe in is the way their miserable life outlook actually is and/or how it should always be.

    The equally racist people who raised them and the racist people they have associated with all of their pathetic life has told and taught them to be the racist that they truly are.

    And they will never change no matter how much you or anyone else points out their racism and/or proves them wrong.

    That's a steaming pile of Bull ****, right there.
    Uhh, you need to sniff less glue. There was no outcry of Conservative support for Dylan Roof.

    McCain is a swamp creature, not a conservative.

    Following the Example of the Fund for Clintons, the Foundation for McCains Refuses to Disclose Its Largest Donor's Largesse

    And John McCain is the guy who brought us the McCain-Feingold Campaign "Reform" Act, requiring anyone who gives $250 or more to a political campaign to be disclosed.

    The McCain Institute for International Leadership executives refuse to disclose how much money big donors have contributed to the nonprofit that's named after Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

    McCain was the architect of the landmark Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002-- more popularly known as "McCain-Feingold" -- that required public disclosure of all contributions of at least $250 in federal elections. Former Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold co-sponsored the measure with McCain.

    But the McCain Institute -- created in 2012 with an $8.7 million donation of funds remaining from McCain's unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign - refused Monday to disclose the amounts it received from its biggest donors who gave $100,000 or more....

    They did divulge a list of people who had given $100,000 or more. But they didn't specify how much each had given, except that they'd given $100,000... or more.

    Pollock points out this is "misleading," as some donors -- like a Saudi organization -- are listed as giving $100,00 or more, but in fact they gave a lot more: Ten times more, in fact. A cool million.

    The McCain Institute is refusing to specify how big their donations are from large donors.

    Unlike you I took screenshots of your own words so no one has to go anywhere to see what you have said.
