  Ten years let me start by saying I am not being anal here or start a fight. I assume you came from a police district where the officers did their job.

  I saw literally... Not an exaggeration of instances of multiple police violating people. It happened to me on 3 occasions my dad twice my friend who were jw's as well.

  i watch my friends father a ministerial servant and 4 other men get completely violated on his own porch because the officer said he had drugs. 2 went in their home turned things over and acted completely out of order. They came outside and after all this and grabbed this man by his throat and acted as if he would punch him... Drew his hand back and laughed and walked away.

  Everyone sat there feeling so sorry he was emasculated but since most had been through similar life went back to normal and things continued.

  this was Newark New Jersey. The Italian police preyed on the black community this way. The stories could go on and on. So generally when people make the argument that if you comply all goes all I know better.

  Boc I don't eat fast food either. I can be very loud at times though. One thing I do appreciate about Americans is that GENERALLY speaking we care about our teeth lol.

  I think you are right about that. I have friends in London and when I was a JW I had JW friends there as well.

  They definitely were not as strict as they are in the U.S. There was this real desire to avoid service when I was there and when they would visit they had NOOOOOO desire to do anything that involved a kingdom hall.

  What is funny is the men of his age range who have abandon the church see him as their new GOD. Then spend just as much time quoting Dawkins now as they did quoting scripture. People need something to follow. I am an atheist, I get annoyed by religion as much as anyone else. However, I can't spend my time being smug and snarky all the time.

  "My question though is his offer to attack religious people and insult them is very dangerous. Why would he want people to insult others who are radicals or zealots."

  Do you think Dawkins sans protection would walk into a Mosque and say these things? A BAPTIST CHURCH? Do you think most people who are intelligent would walk up to someone and say, "You are out of your fucking gourd?" No... this frail old half-dead fucked would get beat the fuck down. However, he will encourage his disciples to do it because it makes him seem cool.

  1. I didn't originally make the claim.

  2. I didn't switch anything.

  3. 25 weeks into the. If 25 of those killed were done so unlawfully then that would make the person who made the statement correct.

  4. You are acting like you know what the percentages are but you do not.

  5. You can take any statistics you want.

  Cops murdering people on a weekly basis????
  

  "The number of people killed by police in the United States during 2015 reached 500 on Wednesday, according to a Guardian investigation, after two young black men were shot dead in New York City and Cincinnati."

  
  

  People being killed every week by police

  "I think a big part of it is that, starting so "low" on the totem pole, you tend to meet more peers who have as much or more potential than you growing up, who never realized it just due to the wrong thing at the wrong time. People that start of relatively middle, or who completely leave their pasts behind on leaving to not SEE things like that as much, tend to just not make that connection, I guess."

  I understand your point exactly. I know so many people who did everything right avoided everything detrimental. They get shot. A parent falls ill. A parent gets arrested. They get raped. Put in jail for crimes they didn't commit. The list could go on and on and on. Like you said, luck is what allowed me to actually get to the age where I could get out of a bad situation. The arrogance of anyone to suggest that everyone in the ghetto is there because of their own desire or bad decisions is ridiculous.
