Police Brutality Thread

Before you blindly condemn a riot don’t forget that this country had a revolution that started with one (Boston tea party).

Peaceful protests have done jack shit over the years to change how policing is done in this country. Yes some people will take advantage of stealing for their own good. Fuck them. But taking down a police station is a symbol to be reckoned with

More white people are killed by cops in the US than black people.

If you view this as black vs white thing then you're making the situation worse. Plain and simple.
Anyone with a conscience is shocked and appalled by that video - including evil white people.

You know this statement is misleading yet you type it and hit post anyway. Why?

would you care to tell the audience the rate of killing per million, by population? I'll wait.

Number of people shot to death by the police in the United States from 2017 to 2020, by race

It doesn't give an option per capita, only raw numbers. However, his statement clearly reads 'more white people are killed by cops in the US than black people.' with no indication of rate of population. Your question is invalid, his statement is correct.

If you wish to play per captia games with the statement, the best I can offer is the census puts the US at 328m people as of April 2019 with 76.5% (251m) identifying as 'white' and 13.4% (44m) identifying as 'black or African American'. This indicates the % of population killed by cops is much greater for blacks than whites - a different statement from what JG presented.

Did ya really want to make this a race discussion? Like JG stated, this is a nutzo cop situation, not race violence. MSM and those inclined for looting are making it such. Though, perhaps I should await further revelations, like the one where cop and victim worked at the same bar, to see if any other factors played into this besides race or being a cop.

I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed.

A white and black reporter for CNN in the same area.

White reporter identified himself as CNN, and told you're good.

Black reporter, identified himself, was incredibly polite and professional, and arrested, live on national television.

CNN crew released after being arrested live on air while reporting on Minneapolis protests

CNN's Omar Jimenez was taken away by Minnesota state police.

You can watch the video, live, from before the police surround them to the point the whole team gets arrested.

At least Chauvin, so far, has been arrested and charged with third degree murder.

Sometimes, when peaceful protests still don't get these level of injustices heard - then things need to be taken to another level, a level at which society will hear.

Snide remark accomplishes what?

I prefer a more logical approach - does rioting help in any way at all? What's the cause (shithead cop kills someone). What's the remedy? Burn and loot and steal shit Charge him with 3rd degree murder.

What does the looting accomplish? Creates more criminals, as an obvious start. Further divides the public from those charged with 'Protect and Serve'. Damages a lot of property owned by the same citizens who live there. And for all the 'they have insurance' how would you like to have built a small business in and for your community only to watch that same community steal from you and burn it to the ground? Does it inspire ANYONE to try and build a small business in that community in the future? Really, I'd like to hear what rioting actually will accomplish on the positive side of the ledger. I'll wait.

Tax money built the police station, and the citizens elected the gov't officials who hired these bad cops. How about starting with electing officials that will actually get bad cops off the force? Now, you have to pay more taxes to rebuild the station. Nice move.

Looting and burning local stores, even chains like Auto Zone? That isn't tax money, that's someone's business they worked hard to make and it just got destroyed. Nice move.

Exactly, his statement is correct but it is misleading. "More white people are killed by cops than black people" is something I've heard tossed around a million times. The insinuation is always the same... there is no racial bias because fewer black people die.

To see an accurate representation of this...the truth...you must take into consideration the population of each demographic to determine the RATE by which they're killed.

the graph you posted (while excluding causes of death other than shooting) clearly indicates that more black people die proportionally than any other race. Given that LESS THAN 14% of the US is black.

It can, sometimes, in scenarios like these, things need to be escalated. How many more peaceful protests to just be ignored and another innocent black man murdered by police tomorrow?

Do you think we could have ever gained independence as the United States of America by peaceful protests?

What about slavery? Could that have been solved by peaceful protests?

Context is essential.
