Literally none of this matters, but you're projecting the same excuses that police will use. "He seemed like someone who would be guilty of this crime..."
Why would people who commit violent crimes be killed at a higher rate? This sounds suspiciously like the "I thought he had a gun" excuse, which, being a combat veteran, I can tell you that we had more stringent rules of engagement than that, in a warzone, with more stressful situations and (arguably) more trigger-happy individuals.
This is definitely an issue that originates from the same systemic oppression, but bringing it up here is just whabout-ism.
What rock were you hiding under? This was all over the media, likely because it was a white attractive woman who was killed. Speaking of which, Madeline McCann is back in the news again...
This article is stating many things, none good for police departments. "The killing of black suspects is a police problem, not a white police problem.” "The majority of officers in these situations were white. But this reflects the fact that America’s police forces are disproportionately made up of whites, who account for approximately three-quarters of all officers."
Now do studies on unarmed people of color vs. unarmed white people. Or hell, armed people of color vs. armed white people who get taken into custody.

Does that make it more credible? Why even say this? You seem to give more credence to black voices when it fits your side (Ben Carson and that other a-hole), so maybe you should listen to the majority of black voices instead of the minority voices.
Do you even read these articles? Authorities are saying domestic terrorism, and did not say whether the shooting was related to the protests or not. It's a bit disingenuous at this point to imply it was a protest-related death. And since it was Oakland, it must have been a black man, right? It certainly couldn't be a white man, they certainly do not overwhelmingly commit domestic terrorism!

Yet he still had a job, interesting. How many other complaints has he had? Chris Rock has a pretty good bit about bad apples.
UOducksTK1 wrote:-The media was condemning protests to open the government (in cali and other states) a few weeks ago, because they were going to spread coronavirus. But all these protests in response to George Floyd are not being condemned by the media even though they are certainly not social distancing. Ironically, antifa would go to protests advocating the government to reopen, to protest against them. lol. Again, the irony. Media doesn't care about our health, they care about their narrative and agenda.
People are so fucking upset that they are willing to take the chance. Note that they are not upset about the nail salon being closed, they are upset about unarmed black men being killed and justice not being served. Again, watch the videos. Also surprising that nobody used tear gas or brutality at right-wing protests where there were literally armed men screaming in the faces of cops and even getting physical.

This is also a whatabout-ism that you seem to like. Focus on the issue, don't tell me about some slightly related issue and say "lol"
UOducksTK1 wrote:Chauvin obviously isn't fit to be a cop. He's had a past of mishandling situations. However, I think he would have done what he did even if the person was white. He completely mishandled this situation, but the narrative that Floyd is a completely innocent man (past issues) and didn't do anything at all to resist (he still technically resisted) and that Chauvin is huge racist (lol) is not true.
That's the problem, thank you for laying it out so succinctly! He isn't fit to be a cop, yet he is a cop. I don't agree with anything else that you say, but I'm sure you'll link me to a video with Mark Furhman's thoughts on the issue (yes, he is a Fox News contributor, believe it or not).
UOducksTK1 wrote:When in reality, almost all police shootings/killings have guns involved by the victims. Almost all police shootings have the victims resisting or running. Almost all police shooting are a response to a crime that was committed. Almost all police shootings include a victim with a criminal history. Moral of the story is: In all police shooting scenarios.... if you don't run and haven't committed a crime and don't resist arrest, I'd say 95%+ of the police shootings wouldn't have happened.
Again, just watch the videos. Tell me which ones were armed. Tell me why they died. Tell me why you are bringing up guns involved by the victims when none of these people were armed.
UOducksTK1 wrote:There are more studies done to show poverty is linked to crime way more than race. So instead of the media and our government trying to cause division is evil. They should be putting their energy into poverty areas (REGARDLESS OF WHITE OR BLACK), to help get those people into situations to thrive and out of crime.
There are also studies that show a white man who doesn't graduate from high school has just as much earning potential as a black man who graduates from college.

For those of you who are not black or married into a black family, or are not middle eastern or married into a middle eastern family, you are not allowed to talk about this. Talk about your white issues only, thanks! (sarcasm)
Good one.
