Black Lives

I am of the opinion that the majority of these so called 'shooting of unarmed person's" cases, regardless of race, are actually legitimate. I think the police are doing their job, and the courts are actually the ones failing the people.
Given that most people who die at the hands of police have criminal records (and often lengthy ones), I feel they are just as equally responsible in contributing to their own death as everyone claims the police are; and therefore, it is justified.
You reap what you sow, sadly. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

At this point in the game, anyone who is calling another person racist regardless of the situation is a traitor to humanity. You could use your mind to help each other instead of blaming and creating further division. Try to be understanding, other wise you are just as ignorant in your in-ability, and just as flawed as the person you call hypocritical. Cause you are not doing anything truly positive by speaking such opinions, (calling others racist you are just prolonging conflict). You are better off keeping all that to your self, and work to not be so self centered until you can be of actual service to the species as a whole.

Did you miss the part about underlying resentment? I Wasn't talking about the riots when I said I've seen racist blacks as well, I was talking about people I've actually known.
And I may not know what it's like to be a black man in America, but I do understand what it's like to be considered a second class citizen, abomination of God, have my feelings for someone be downplayed as something of a trivial mockery of "love", and been wished to hell by my own mother.
I'll obviously never know what it's like to be black, but I do know what it's like to be mistreated for something about me that I can't ever change.
So I should get kill by the police for selling weed? Meanwhile when white people do worse crime, they get treated innocent more than black people. They get that "It's okay. you didn't know what you was doing. Don't worry, I'll take you home" treatment.

I never claimed to be, "The greatest folly any intelligent man can have is thinking he's smarter than everyone else." paraphrased but the message is still true. I never said I wanted to be righteous in this post, in fact if we're being perfectly honest with ourselves this was a lapse of weakness where I couldn't sit by and turn the other cheek still. Also my resentment isn't unstated I've said it before, I don't care for this victim mentality.

No but I just saw this video of a news lady in uk talking about these twins;
One is black one is white. She was introducing them and said- "___ has taken after her mother, who is half Jamaican. She has dark skin and black curly hair. ___ has taken after her father, she has fair skin-good for her- beautiful blue eyes, and gorgeous red hair!"
It was hilarious and disgusting. Her partner news anchor looked at her like she was stupid when she said it.
Do you plan to run from the police and/or commit battery on a law enforcement officer, to the point they feel their lives or others' lives are in danger, when they attempt to arrest you for a crime you may/may not have committed? Or would you comply with every command issued, and offer zero resistance?
The ones who resist, regardless of skin color, are the ones who get hurt and sometimes killed. Having a criminal record & resisting arrest/non-compliance greatly increase the chance of injury or death at the hands of police. That is why people get killed; not for 'selling weed.' If that were the case, the police would just roll up and execute people without saying a word, and move on. Since that doesn't happen, I will never believe someone got killed simply for selling weed.
As for the rest of your post, look at the broken court system for an answer. Cops do their job and arrest for crimes, then prosecutors lay the actual charges, and the courts are where the penalty is decided.
So again, I stick with my statement: those who tend to get killed by the police, typically have arrest records, resist, and are just as equally responsible for contributing to their own deaths.
Do I need to drop videos of white people running from the police or provoking the police and still getting treated better than black people who stand still and put their hands up in front of the police?
When people say not all cops are bad. Well guess what. Not all black people are thugs.
If police fear for their safety all the time, then they are in the wrong line of work.
Is that so? You don't care for the victim mentality? Well then what are you going to do about it? Are you going to try to stop it? Or are you going to try to prolong it and create further division? Where do your intentions lie? If you really want to change things than you will take positive action. If you don't then you will take negative action. Like I said before, at this point of the game calling someone else a racist is a hypocrite. THat's negative action because it's blaming and making division. There's no need to say that. I too see racists on both sides but going around blaming and antagonizing is not going to do anything good for me or them.

I agree with you.
Which is why I never say anything regarding the topic unless I can just shed some light on someone to help them understand a more positive way to assess the situation.
You can 'drop' all the videos you want, still wouldn't be enough information for me to change my opinion on the matter in general. Video alone is not enough.
Fact of the matter is, cops do not just roll up and kill people for absolutely no reason. Just doesn't happen.
Your statement of, "if police fear for their safety all the time, then they are in the wrong line of work," just shows your ignorance and lack of knowledge. Policing is one of the most dangerous jobs you can do, and if you aren't afraid at any point during your career as one, you aren't human or haven't been one. Do I need to show you videos of cops getting shot after pulling someone over for something as simple as a broken tail light? Or the various other videos of cops getting ambushed or blind-sided by people for seemingly no reason at all? Should I also mention that the man's death that sparked this thread was carrying an automatic knife (switchblade), which is a felony in pretty much every state?
You are still making this a black/white issue while I am not. I am making it an all encompassing issue. This kind of thing happens to white people too. There are also plenty videos of black people getting peacefully arrested, but people want to ignore those.

I worked with the numbers that you gave me, man. You can't fault me on your exclusion of facts. lol
But I can. She was a white girl killed by a white man for seemingly no reason. She was drunk, got into what she thought was an uber car (or taxi) and was then stabbed to death. There surely could have been a motive, but from what I know, which admittedly isn't much, it seems pretty devoid of any reason. So, yes. White people are also being killed for no reason. To say that only blacks are getting killed pointlessly is retarded and illogical.
No. I don't understand why that would matter. lol Everyone goes on about cops killing people. Hush up. U_U
that's wassup.... While we are all still alive, no matter our color we are all in this together. We have to really try and do things the right way, because there are too many insensible people running around on both sides doing crazy shit. Us people that can reason have some responsibility to support each other and try and correct the ignorance in our respective communities.
No offense to anything I said before man , I'm just trying to make a point. It's not personal at all. there are so many of us making this mistake when we really don't mean to.

Wrong. Compare to other police force outside of USA, they wouldn't need to shoot a person that have a knife or be rough with the suspect. When it come down to it, they risk their lives to to save the suspect. USA police force... simple as fuvk. He got a knife, shoot him! Then get on tv and talk about they feared for their safety so they had to shoot. If you have to shoot a person that is holding a butter knife, you're in the wrong line of work period!
No I'm not making it a black/white issues anymore. Point blank. Our police force don't know how to handle situation properly. They on that "Computer is lagging, Unplug it to fix it" instead of opening up task manager to find out what's the problem and fix it.
