Let me ask one question: if racist white cops changed so that didn't say racist words, treated black people like white people, would people within the Black Lives Matter movement respect cops' authority? If a cop ordered them to put their hands up, would they obey? unilover

I would like for the cop to overcome their white supremacy complex and disdain for blacks for sure, if that is what's going on in their head. Not just treat "blacks like whites". People within the BLM movement? Some are assholes/idiots, some are not. What percentage of blacks are responding to the proliferation of all the shocking smart phone videos in the best way? I don't now. Surely it's not 100 percent. I like the idea of more video cameras. That way when a suspect is resisting arrest, there is evidence. I get angry when I see someone disrespecting a cop for no good reason and making their job harder than it is. The same goes for a cop that is misusing their authority.

And thank you for acknowledging my questions. As you can see I have some perspective on this subject. Bonus factoid: I have an uncle that is a KKK member.

If cops are fixing reports to make things look better why would one assume they're only doing so when blacks are involved?

Not ALL cops fix reports, not ALL incidences need report "tweaking". Not ALL cops are morons. But since many that serve / have served as cops view blacks as less than human and perhaps have other mental problems, the tweaking will become more necessary when/if they are mistreating and/or killing blacks.

Cops are human, some are good, some aren't. I bought a cop lunch a couple of months ago as we sat at a bar one mid-afternoon. I had lots of questions for him about all of these issues. He believed that police forces aren't perfect, but they are better than they used to be. I believe him.

Are we using stats that are compiled from police reports? You folks know that they cover their asses by lying when they've screwed up and they cover for each other right?

I would go with blacks having it way worse than the stats show.

Thank the good lord above for the ubiquitous smart phone or this crap would have continued unabated.

Dear Sweet LoveUniHateExams,

Are you from the US? If so did you grow up in the South as a white male? Did you hear N-word jokes since you were a baby? Have you had other whites presume upon your racism and use the N-word and explicitly explain their disgust for the race of people that are called this word? Do you have relatives that are proud of the fact that their high school is called Robert E Lee?

White supremacy is alive and well around these parts. Racism is real. But blacks being at the disadvantage when white cops are involved is not? It's all equal?

"Save the whales" never meant that other marine lives don't matter. It just meant we need to stop killing so many whales. Blacks would like less blacks being shot by cops at the current rate. I don't think they are asking too much. And I can see, hear and feel why they have good reason for asking.

Seeing some really crappy arguments on this thread ... the worst of which is:

"Blacks kill each other all the time, what's the big deal if a few police officers get in on the action?"

so if there was no promise of a "reward" for faithfulness...no paradise...no eternal life etc, how many witnesses would stick with the "faith"?.

sure, the reward might be "making god happy", but he supposedly holds out the paradise promise with eternal life as an incentive right?.

before anyone says, that's what satans challenge regarding job was about, just think.

Carrot and stick.

Paradise or heaven and Gehenna for the jdubs

Heaven and hell for nominal Christians like Perry.

I see no difference. They serve a mob boss.

I conclude evolution is guided

by KateWild in

your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

It is much better to apply Occams Razor when there is nodefinitive answer. Kate xx

Admitting to ourselves that we don't know (for now) is an option you should consider.

Perhaps it is a better option than inventing a being that guided organic matter on the earth millions of years ago and is currently playing a game of intergalactic peek-a-boo with us.

It's like a cop at a murder scene concluding the perpetrator was a demon. "Well, it's highly probable to me that something magical occurred here, so I'm just going to go with that. Case closed."

Don't forget the title of your thread is "I conclude", not "I have an idea".

PS. I emailed Mr. Kenso, about this debate. Wouldn't it be cool if he weighed in?
