    Are you saying that the police department is not part of the justice system? You do know that arrest and bookings have to be brought before a judge at one time or another, right?

    Again and again, I ask folk like you to explain exactly how black on black crime justifies unjust and unnecessary deadly force used by cops against innocent black folk or those suspected of misdemeanor crimes? I await your answer.

    Yeaaaa... and see thats why I didn't want to talk to you anymore. Because it was simple, you misunderstood a response. No biggie, no harm, could have just said "oh ok my bad" and moved on but instead I got this^

    Where did you get the idea that I thing it's ok or acceptable? I've never said that nor do I believe it. Why do you think it's ok for thugs to kill cops or burn down people's homes and businesses? Why do you think it's ok to loot stores?

    Before you fly off the handle, you are going to say that you don't think that and you probably don't. Congratulations for being biased. Just because I don't support looters doesn't mean that I support cops killing people. Just because I won't treat George like a hero doesn't mean that I think he should have been killed. I look at data and form my thoughts from that. I don't believe something just because I want to and then fight anyone that doesn't support my uninformed opinion.

    to answer your question, my thoughts are that if you ignore black on black violence and are only offended by white on black violence you are a fake and hypocryte ito Black lives... they only matter to you when you can blame whites. The South African cases are to validate my statement.... my reason why I make this claim

    :| Would some adult in the vicinity of our muddy friend explain what the OP is about and how his lame attempts to discredit it are deconstructed by me? Then get muddy to answer a simple question, brought on by HIS post. Thank you.

    And you parrot the standard alt right wonk response.....let's change the specific subject by trying to bridge another topic, thus justifying yet another affront to black folk in America.

    If you STILL don't get it (or refuse to get it), I'll explain: Black on black crime has nothing to do with black folk INNOCENT of any crime OR just under routine suspicion OF A MISDEMEANOR or GENERAL QUESTIONING getting killed by (usually) white police officers using unnecessary or excessive deadly force. Period. Do you have innocent white folk getting killed at Spring Break or Madi Gras because of white on white crime?
    Your South African diatribe is about South Africa. Start your own thread on that, because you fail to somehow equate to the Floyd situation what you state as to infer justification for his death. Anything else from you will be ignored, as David Duke wanna be's just want an audience to spew their lame propaganda.

    I directly responded to someone else. Your response was way off base.

    Now, part of the problem is the person I was responding to can't stay on topic to save his life. So my responses to him weren't directly tied to the OP. If you want to cry about being off topic, it's not me you should be crying to.

    But by all means, continue with the condescending posts....it's who you (and most of the left) are anyway.

    But since you're so butthurt over me not answering your question that had nothing to do with what I was talking about here's your answer:

    Did you see me type those words?...no?....then I guess I didn't say it.

    In case you can't read between the lines. I'm done here. Next time you want to jump in a conversation, know where the conversation is and the context with which the posts are being made.

    There's nothing "standard alt right wonk response" about my posts. If you bothered to care about Black lives and visited the African forums for 1 minute you'll know that.

    It is typical for the left to ban a narrative that makes them look bad, and South Africa makes the radical left look VERY bad, millions of black people suffer every day, are murdered and raped and the radical left say nothing....because they simply don't care.... no white people to blame

    And as the objective reader can see, Witchy avoids the points I put forth regarding her attempt to discredit the FACTS surrounding the Floyd case and subsequent demonstrations/protests and proposals for change in police tactics. Like I said, Witchy just wants a platform to spew the usual alt right wing bilge. So there's no point in wasting anymore time placating this blather.

    Muddy seems to think he can BS on a printed medium, but anyone with a GED reading comprehension level can see his folly. No point in further placating this Muddy nonsense.

    OK, you think it is perfectly acceptable for killer thug cops to murder black people. Are you related to that whacko Okie cop who says that cops don't murder enough black people?

    Try refuting his post instead of making silly accusations.

    I really haven't given the George Floyd protests a thought, one way or the other. I've seen so many of these, they don't mean anything anymore. Then as usual, the peaceful protests turn into riots, burning, looting, killing, That's life I suppose. As long as those protests and riots stay a long way from me, I couldn't care less.

    I don't think they accomplish a thing except harden feelings on whichever side of the issue one is on. A protest, especially one that turns into violence isn't about to win any converts or convince people on the fence, those who don't really care one way or the other to join their side. There's always the chance they lose folks from their cause because most folks don't like their daily lives disrupted. Occupy Wall Street was a prime example of this. The longer their protests and occupations went on, the more Americans turned against them.

    I just hope those protesters enjoyed themselves with their wanton destruction and violence.

    OK you think it perfecting acceptable for black men to rape white women and murder innocent white citizens. See I can put words in your mouth too.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA

    You conveniently didn't go back far enough in the conversation. SBB flew off topic with his justice system post (which, to make your argument, is conveniently where you started). But in order to pathetically try to win an argument you leave off his original post that I responded to which had ZERO to do with the justice system.

    Damn you're so dead wrong it's not even funny. it's so sad that you feel the need to do this.

    Go on.....try again.

    Your first sentence essentially explains why the rest of your post's opinions and conclusions are flat out wrong. Think: if your final sentence is correct, then how did this turn into an INTERNATIONAL thing? How are people who are "enjoying themselves" mourning over dead friends and family? How are people who lost businesses due to the rioting of a minority of malcontents who started it "enjoying themselves"? How are protestors and demonstrators who were peaceful yet pepper sprayed and roughed up by cops "enjoying themselves"?

    I could go on, but I hope you get the picture. But if you really don't care, then don't bother posting on the subject. Saves us all time and space reacting to your error laden screeds.

    And as the objective reader can see, Kung Fu Radical wants Witchy to shut up, because she's saying what he doesn't want to hear
