In 3 Years, Cops Have Killed 450% More Citizens Than 4 Decades of Mass Shootings COMBINED

Sure. But so is spitting in the wind, but that won’t stop a hurricane.

 

Nonsense. The military-industrial complex provides a necessary and important service and product, national defense. If there's a government funded dependent class, that would be the alphabet soup of bureaucracies and their thousands of worthless functionaries. The executive branch of government has 1,350,000+ civilian employees! Doing what, exactly? No one knows. I forget who it was, but some Republican sent out a letter some years back to all the executive agencies requesting to know just exactly what it was they did. Three quarters of the agencies ignored the letter. Only the most obvious ones, FBI, CIA, NASA, NOAA, answered.

 

Black suspects are overwhelmingly likely to be shot by black cops, not white cops. White people are overrepresented in the number of people getting shot by cops if you go by criminal tendencies rather than general population. Blacks are far more likely to resist arrest than whites are, even for the same crime, so they are much more likely to get shot. And no grand juries these days are made up of 100% white people, so that claim is bogus on its face.

 

And? You've made no point here. This is decades old info ---except in Ferguson MO ...

Yes, and White suspects are overwhelmingly likely to be shot by White cops, not Black cops. And HISP suspects are overwhelmingly likely to be shot by HISP cops, not Black cops ---go look at East L.A. stats if you don't believe me.



lol


Ferguson population was 62% Black but the Ferguson police dept was 88% White


lol


Nothing to do with racism I'm sure

 

*shrugs* Fire departments are even whiter than police departments. That isn't because fire department managers are racist, it's because few blacks ever apply to be firemen.

 

No, it's a racket that thrives on blood money and violent imperialism.

 

Yes. This is true.

And since many, many Blacks apply to be policemen, then it is very illogical of you to come troll in here by mentioning firemen applicants.

 

Apparently you didn't get the point. The point was that not every number that isn't exactly equal is the result of racism. Why is the NFL 50% black and the NBA 80% black? Is it racism? You're assuming because the Ferguson police department is overwhelmingly white that it is automatically racist, but that's not a fair assumption. You know nothing of the applicants, applicant pool, history of the department, motivation of the police officers, or the political choices of the elected officials. You're taking a number and assuming that it proves racism. It doesn't.

 

America is the least violent, least imperialist nation in the history of the world. If you can't see that, then we have no common ground to even have a discussion. After World War II, we had conquered half the planet, and what did we do? We gave it all back. We kept nothing from our conquests except a few military bases scattered here and there. Russia didn't do that. Germany sure as hell wouldn't have done that. Japan was in no mood to do that. We know from the Versailles Treaty that the UK and France wouldn't do that. I don't think you can name another country that would have done that. England didn't start giving up its far-flung empire until after WWII and the Pax Americana came into effect. Our military-industrial complex has kept the world in a state of relative peace unknown since the Roman empire.

 

Your statement here is not based in, logic, since you disregarded the multitudes of racist acts that the White police pulled on the Black citizens for many, years, and that is why Obama and Holder brought in the US-DOJ to clean house (shut down the police dept) by getting rid of all White Supremacists in the local criminal justice system.

 

friendly fire perhaps?

Try reading a book or two on slavery, manifest destiny, and the war on vietnam.

 

Obama and Holder started interfering with the Ferguson police department in response to a black thug getting shot by a white cop after that black thug robbed a store, beat the cop, and started reaching into his pants. There was no other motivation than that. The prosecutor, the grand jury, and finally the federal prosecutor all came to the same conclusion, Michael Brown deserved to get shot. That didn't stop the riots and that didn't stop the DOJ from interfering with the police department, however.

 

Exactly. It didn't stop the DOJ from interfering with the police dept's racist culture. And the DOJ dismantled it.

 

This thread panned out exactly like I thought it would, for the most part. With a few exceptions, the responses can be grouped into two categories:

1) "Muh thin blue line"

and...

2) "What about the childrenz!!!!11"


Typically on opposite sides of the American Authoritarian political spectrum (Democrats and Republicans, or whatever) both fail to see the logic in this article, and that is as follows:

1) The militarized police state is an issue. The average IQ of a cop is 104. 80% of all cops are overweight. 40% of them are perpetrate domestic violence against their significant others. Most are not properly trained. Even if you take the average "good cop", 90% of them have witnessed issues with fellow co-workers on the job and have said nothing, which do not make them "good cops" in my book.

2) No matter how horrible the tragedy, you can not justify the infringement of a natural rights of another I'm sorry to break this to you, but no matter how many children are killed tragically, no matter how many Communist Manifestos are written, etc... your mob mentality is not justified. I used the words "Mob mentality" with specific purpose, because that is the perfect description. My right to life and by its extension, my right to property, is not subject to the whims of the mob.

I posted this article to allow you to clearly demonstrate that in all the important ways, you are utterly and despicably alike and ladies and gents, you did not disappoint. You are authoritarian wastrels hell bent upon the domination of your fellow man, and your justifications be damned.

 

If you want to learn about a real "militarized police state" you should study Iran. If you want to propose better training for American cops, or better screening for hirees, fine. I think everyone can agree
with that. But you seem to be just preaching hate. The vast majority of our population never have been harassed or intimidated by our local police. You are blackening thousands of decent cops
because of a few bad apples. Every profession has bad apples, its just more noticeable with the police because they are always armed when they misbehave.

 

You contradicted yourself so many times that I lost count.

 

That's what I was thinking.
