    If they want to destroy the US YOU had better ask WHY their Rage has taken this course

    Oh of course - It's probably because they "Hate you for your Freedom"

    The people who's only response to their Rage is such stupid insipid cliches
    and to call them names and send in the Goons are Deaf, Dumb, Blind and

    They’re losers. They have no future because they’re stupid, lazy, or both.

    They figure they have nothing to lose, so they just want to have fun by destroying what others have. It’s jealousy.

    It’s a really sad scene, but it’s slightly comical because the animals are burning down their own neighborhoods.

    Not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

    Blacks are 18.5 times more likely to be killed by another black person than by a police officer.

    If 1 in 1,000 Americans will die at the hands of police, then 325,000 people would die at the hands of police.

    At around 1,000 people actually being killed by police every year total, it would take about 325 years for that many people to die-by-cop.

    Math.

    Yes, and white citizens are more likely to be killed by white citizens. Hispanic citizens are more likely to be killed by Hispanic citizens.

    The police, in general, are really valuable at trying to help stop us from killing each other.

    That's a good point! Hard to get around. What we saw has no explanation. I'll be anxious to hear how they attempt to defend. And for the onlooking cops......no excuse either.

    Why? Adding in numbers who never have any interaction with a police officer is disingenuous and only serves to skew numbers.

    The odds of someone being killed by a police officer who never interacts with one is zero percent.

    Exactly. They taught this at MP school. The weeks after we were taught choke holds and strikes, we literally went around at night putting each other in choke holds, kicking people in the thighs, punching each other in the stomach...

    That is NOT what the Article stated
    You either did not read the Article or You are purposely perverting the Peer Reviewed findings
    .......... ...... ....The results apply to "Young Black Americans" - It does not apply to all Ages nor
    ............................................. the Total Population - & that is exactly why the findings are so shocking

    .......................................................... Your Math is coming out of the same dark place as your Stats are, isn't it ? :)

    Of The United States Of America

    We have a US diplomat(Flynn) arrested for diplomacy, but we can't beat back these barbaric losers and their ideology.

    I rate your claim ridiculous. I've had numerous encounters with police, almost all of them positive and a couple were dicey. One was downright lazy man needs to meet quota, type of experience.

    I know very, very few people who have never been one of any number of things, as in: traffic ticket, domestic issue, witness to an accident, witness to a crime, jaywalking, and on and on.

    I have interacted with police for all I mentioned, and again, mostly (almost exclusively) positive.

    Everyone has an interaction with the police at some point.

    Okay. Another example of math and statistics, specifically related to blacks killed by police.

    upload_2020-5-29_23-23-54.png
    https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

    That chart shows that 6.6 blacks per million are killed by police.

    The black population is 12% of the population. (325,000,000 x .12 = 39,000,000 blacks)

    If 6.6 blacks per million die-by-cop then (6.6 x 39 = 257.4 blacks die by cop).

    The odds of being black and dying-by-cop are (257.4/39,000,000 = 0.0007%).

    If you are black in America, your odds of death-by-cop in any given year are 0.0007%.

    As mentioned earlier, there are ways to increase/decrease those odds for any given individual.

    And you think the appropriate response was to kneel on his neck?

    Right. I've been pulled over several times for speeding 5-10 over the limit, and not turning my blinker once. Usually, I've gotten a warning unless the cop is having a very bad day (or needs to meet a quota).

    The police who I have encountered would describe me as extremely polite, extremely subservient, and extremely obedient. "Yes, sir. No, sir. Thank you, sir. I appreciate your service, sir." Now, I know that very few of you here would describe me the way the police would! ;)

    The burning, looting, and throwing bricks at cops helps Trump. Normal Americans are repulsed by the left’s antics.
