@coalize: Quetzal is incidentally quoting victimization rates but misreading the statistics. He reads the statistics as the case that blacks are slightly less victimized than whites, hence there are less criminals in the black community. What he is ignoring is that blacks only make up 12-14% of the population. This is a typical left-wing fantasy that everything in the world is and has to be 50% for blacks and 50% for everyone else

I did not interpret the stats and you can go back and check my previous post. Most people agree with the stats about more violence in black community. The only issue is that those pointing to the stats also fail to accept that part of the problem lies in the history of race in America.

Remember when Trump won the election and some said that he didn't win the popular vote? Those who voted for Trump told them to f-off because all that matters is that he won the electoral college vote. The fact is, both side are correct.

When you show statistics about black violence which are factual but you refuse to also accept that part of the problem is also due to race relationship in America, then, you are showing a lack of understanding of the subject matter.

Meet George Floyd

by cofty in

his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.

thanks as always to the courageous candace owens.. ....

Does that mention race? Does it only apply if a black person is shot?

If more white people are killed by police, and black people are making a lot of noise about the issue that affects them, once the problem is fixed, wouldn't black and white benefit from the protests?

Would You Like To See Your Police Departments “Defunded”?

do you think it’s a good idea?.

@Still Totally ADD

Most realize the police are over burden with dealing with the homeless, mental illness and drug addiction. Instead of arming the police even more why not use that money to go to agencies that will take care of these problem

That is the whole point of de-funding the police by moving some of their current tasks to other agencies but it appears that message got lost in the chaos

Do you actually believe there are laws that say "feel free to pop off some negroes as you drive around"?

I don't know what you are talking about.

Please point to the legal statute that you think needs to be modified.

What about "Qualified Immunity"?

Occasionally the actual physical conflict can change public opinion but I think the reality is that opinion has already largely been changed and we're just waiting for laws to catch up

I agree. I believe the whole point of this discussion is about making the police more accountable.

Things that you may see and experience once you get involved with the JWS

by Finkelstein in

there are numerous experiences you might see once getting involved with the jws.. things that come to mind are as follows ........... getting lied to by dishonest men (gb) running an unregulated religoius publishing house.

(wts).

these men created an apostate (commercialized) version of the gospel of jesus and the new to come kingdom order, many from both inside and outside of the organization are starting to realize that .. your mostly likely are getting to be pressured and quilted into spreading about the wts's literature to the public in hours of service as they describe it, with all the attached false doctrines this organization's top leaders make.. you will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair your attendance, who you are associating with, what are you doing in your private social life etc.. you will most likely going to hear about people who were somehow associated with the organization have committed suicide.

@phoenixrising,

Just because you don't prepare for things does not mean others are crazy for prepping for disaster.

I am not not questioning your preparedness. It is just that you said "If someone breaks into your home 6 bullets are enough" Couldn't a shotgun be reload with more bullets or are you limited to

6?

Why do cars always come with a single spare tyre when you might have 4 tyres to replace?

@phoenixrising

If anyone is so stupid as to think that these riots were sparked by some cop committing a crime is not smart enough to hold his own milk money

I think a lot of people will agree with you that the riots are a sign of deeper issues. The unfortunate killing of the guy is just a trigger.

If I were on the force I would tell them to F off and quit. Have some dignity you idiots.

This makes you sound like an Armchair Export

The other things you mention have all been changed through the democratic process. That is the only way change can and should happen.

I take it you agree that policing will be much efficient if it is combined with better laws.

"changed through the democratic process" What you call the democratic process was a lot of protest like the suffragette, it took them almost decades for women to get the right to vote in the UK. They had to fight for it.

Often times, people have had to fight for their rights. Civil Rights movement, they had to fight for it. Apartheid it South Africa, they had to fight for it.

Interracial Marriage in the US, they had to fight and they went all the way to the Supreme Court. Once the law was found to be unconstitutional, policing became much easier. Leave and let live

Effective policing requires rethinking the laws of the land

So yes, institutional racism existed until the late 60s and as a result, welfare policies were designed with a racist background.

if these policies where designed with a "racist background", how else should this be understood? I am just quoting what the OP stated.

No. While laws existed that targeted race and denied rights based on race, then there was institutional racism. Literally, it was in the institutions.

If you have racist laws, it is part of your system and part of your institution. There is no point in trying to sugar coat it.

I don't have to point to it, you already did
