    I don't think you have to tell too many Black People about Dying for Basic Freedoms and Liberty ... most of them didn't have any Rights while Fighting for Your Rights.

    That is delusional. The entire CK meme of white supremacy, police brutality, and black oppression is generated by the racialist industry.

    I assure you I have many weaknesses, Math is not one of them. You can see plenty of vids on youtube of "cops gone wild"

    Sounds like you are blaming the victim. A suspect "not knowing what to do" is no reason to kill that person like in this situation.

    Perhaps the understanding of applying mathematics is a weakness while the actual application is not. Anecdotal evidence is not proof of a statistical issue.

    Here's something that everyone can do to end police brutality. (Whining isn't accomplishing anything.)

    Become a better cop than they are. Push them out of their jobs.

    It makes you wonder, what type of individual, can make an excuse for murdering someone, who's unarmed, over a perceived crime if selling a single cigarette. I can't even see the reason why a cop would get into anything more than a heated discussion over such a minor offence.

    What's next, beatings for Jaywalking or spitting on the ground.

    What statistical issue ? You have provided no statistics in our conversation. The rest of your post is a big fat straw man.

    Exactly ... the lengths of absurd nonsense some folks will stoop to apologize for out of control cops is mind boggling.

    This is all so stupid!

    I don't care what kapernick is protesting - I do care a lot about the way he is protesting.

    I no longer watch the NFL and I try not to purchase the products of any NFL advertisers because of the way the NFL is allowing the kapernick method to spread.

    When I look at kapernick, I see nothing but a spoiled millionaire with everything to be grateful for and nothing to grieve.

    Find me a black working man with a family to support who wants to protest and I will be very interested in what he has to say.

    Otherwise, I'm not interested.

    What I'm trying to say, Teams are paying huge contracts for retreads that an't even as BAD as CK.

    I could pay the league minimum to CK and get a more value ... but they rather Black Ball him to make a point.

    Or... maybe they don't want the baggage. He made himself a controversial character. If he was a real star, they'd probably put up with him.
