If the hypothesis OO was postulating, which is that black cops wouldnt get sentenced, I provided an example of a black cop getting sentenced.

If you are really going to go down that path of needing an exactly equal scenario, this conversation was over before it started.

There are significant differences in the cases and situations, mind you.

Just stopping a pithy, gross (and somewhat snarky) over-generalization from you --- and in the roughly same level of snark as was your reply at the same time. Kind of a two 'fer there.

The great arbiter of over generalizations missed the one I was responding to?

I think it ripely funny that you whine about someone over-generalizing lad. Maybe a little self-reflection in your polemics might be in order for once. Perhaps not.

Quote:I don't think the situations are significantly different enough for this to be irrelevant to the question of whether a black police officer would not have been charged for unjustly killing someone in the line of duty.

Got it, they are exactly the same for intents and purposes. Glad to hear your god-like designation. That should put the world at ease.

Why do you fall back on this trope so quickly?

Explain why you think I’m wrong about these situations being similar enough to show that a black officer who did the exact same thing as Chauvin wouldn’t have been let off without jail time.

Or, you know, resort to that tactic.

I am sorry that *you* changed the question, lad. My 'trope' is simply noting that *you* didnt answer the question posed. Good fing god.

You *generalized* the question so it would fit a snarky answer, in addition. But the *question* you shoehorned it to wasnt the same question --- and the cases have enough significant differences in them to make *your* answer somewhat a non-sequitor.

So please cut with the 'trope' ****, as well as the whiny 'resort to that tactic' ****.
