Here are some stats for your ignorance, this posted in another thread.

when police kill people for: selling lose smokes, selling CDs, having a busted taillight, reaching for an ID when asked to provide one, surviving a car wreck, etc...this is what you get.
sad state of affairs.
Sad, but predictable response from you.Your hate is real. You are heartless for those killed and wounded last night. Your attempt to justify what happened last night is sick.
you're just mad and want to lash out at someone...I had nothing to do with what happened in Dallas...I simply know why it happened, and it's been building for a while now...and it won't be the last time IMHO.
Your previous post proves you don't have a clue why it happened. You made up reasons why.
ignoring the issue will only ensure it happens again...

RE: Cops down in Dallas right now.
So much of this could be avoided if you just COMPLY with the police. That's what I hope comes from this. We all need to be a little more cautious with our words and have a tad bit more understanding for our men in blue. Does racism exist. Hell yes. I think a lot of the time a cop is human. He's on edge a little bit when he approaches a car or a person of interest. You have to comply. Your life is at risk! It's just the reality. Look at it from both sides and try to understand both sides of the argument. I honestly understand why the BLM movement feels the way they do. I understand why cops are on edge. Bottom line. Comply. The Minnesota shooting is bad but I went back and listened to the video again. The cop is screaming I told him not to reach for his wallet. If I have a gun in my car. I don't do **** until the cop tells me to. If he says stop. You stop. It's just the times.

And that would make it a HATE CRIME. Which involves targeting people based upon their membership in a certain group. Laws that I fully support.

You're 100% correct. Part of the issue though is the fact that our society has an "authority problem". I directly contribute this to the break-down of the American family, especially in the African American community. Millions of young boys lack a positive male role model in their life. It is so sad to me. IMHO, that is the root cause.

RE: Cops down in Dallas right now.
Sprinkle in the Bundy types and the Warren's of the world in that open carry black and white video I showed and If you have half a brain you can see where the anger comes from from the BLM crew.
Honest to goodness. Think if the BLM types over took a federal building like the Bundy dipshits did. Do you honestly think the police smokes them out like they did?
I'm conflicted as heck on this but at the end of it. I stand with the guys in blue who are doing their absolute best in troubled times.

Both sides have their dipshits that antagonize our policemen and women.

FWIW, the BLM folks (one was a white girl actually) was screaming obscenities at the cops as they roped off the crime scene. Their "crime"... arresting a young man who fit the description and happened to be wearing a bullet proof vest for some reason.
That behavior is beyond sickening to me. These guys had just lost 5 of their brothers. One looked like he could have cried.

Very good post, I agree.
Regarding the Minnesota case: I know we don't have the pre-shooting clip for context, but I still find it hard to believe the cop in that scenario had absolutely 'no other choice'.

RE: Cops down in Dallas right now.
The only thing sadder than the actual events will be if this turns into just another chance to virtue signal for pathetic little losers with catchy hashtags, "mourning," and profile photo filters.
The moral weakness of this country will be on full display, and nothing will happen.

RE: Cops down in Dallas right now.
This violence on cops is going to lead to all of the "good" cops to look for work elsewhere while pushing potential "good" cops to enter another field of study, seeing as they don't want to be hunted down for doing nothing wrong. And when this happens, only the "bad" cops will remain. That will be less than ideal, to put it lightly.

Wow, had no idea the investigation, yet alone the potential trail was over, and those cops had been put in jail. Our criminal justice system must have improved tremendously to indict and convict in only a few day.

Oh, no one thought of that. I guess it's okay they opened fire on the police then. Quit trying to subtly justify this.
