Good point, and I just read some of it. I guess what I meant by “genius” was that your not just a person that says “LOL, Raynbow Dash loox so funy :-D” or stuff like that; that they actually form political views, and since I just read it, somewhat valid ones.
Sometimes one shouldn’t confuse “genius” with “opinion”.
People have opinions, some strongly. But does not directly imply they’re geniuses, no matter the size of the text wall.
Oh damn it.
You missed the good part, unless people want to continue arguing.
We covered this already. “They do it too” wasn’t an acceptable excuse when you were five years old, and it’s not an acceptable excuse now.
Also, as I mentioned, that issue with crime isn’t going away unless black people feel like they can trust police, and right now, that trust is hard to come by.

Black-on-white murders per black capita are ~14 times higher than white-on-black murders per white capita. Black-on-black murders per black capita are ~60 times higher than white-on-black murders per white capita. But check the numbers in a calculator, because I suck at math. Right now I don’t really see the kind of effect that you can account for by using the term “institutional racism” or “bias”.
This being said, I don’t support the killing of unarmed black people by policemen who neglect proper arrest procedure and due process and often fail to understand the law themselves. There is no excuse for shooting a man who was already subdued on the ground.
the real joke is tua accusing others of ad hominem
The fun thing about having a Duck badge is that it’s a marvelously effective bait for prompting people into losing arguments on their own turn, by the cheap Own Goal of resorting to empty ad hominem
So basically, when you’re debating on Derpibooru, the argumentum ad hominem becomes ‘argumentum ad anatem’, am I right? bad joke, sorry :)
But we’re not talking about criminals getting shot, or at least not armed criminals. We’re talking about unarmed people.
I swear, it’s like people think this hasn’t been done here before, at great length and to the delight of one and all. Here, let me condense the reasons why the thing you’re rather pointedly not saying out loud is still 100% wrong.
“Although black men make up only 6 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 40 percent of the unarmed men shot to death by police this year”
Do you really want see the per capita numbers for crimes committed? Because that sure doesn’t help you.
just so much chaff to you, right?
I can write my own dialogue without your help, thanks, but since you want to want to make this about White people, let’s see what the numbers are like; from ProPublica:
And all the examples of white people shot without provocation are just so much chaff to you, right?
Shootings like this only ever happen to blacks amirite? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/07/14/trigger-happy-or-well-trained-police-in-fresno-calif-release-video-of-dylan-noble-shooting/
The problem with the police isn’t racism, it’s that they like to shoot people regardless of the shade of their skin. Why are you trying to make it about race when it’s about unaccountable, out of control LEOs who are above the law?
when police are dispatched on the scene, they are given a full status report on the suspect’s arrest history and any warrants they currently have out for their arrests
I’m not talking about LEOs in general being dispatched for a BOLO on a specific individual, I’m talking about the many and various highly publicized incidents that fit the description of “Black guy gets shot for no readily apparent reason by a cop who wasn’t responding to any description more detailed than ‘Black male’ or ‘driving a van’ “. A list of priors as long as the arm of The Law is 100% irrelevant to an incident if the responders don’t even know about it until after the fact. That’s the entire reason why dirt basic training in every department in the country is to wait until the plates are run before approaching a vehicle at a traffic stop, because it changes the way you deal with a simple moving violation if the perpetrator has a lengthy felony record; the problem with most of these high profile cases is that a profile is the only foreknowledge of the subject/suspect that the soon-to-be-(in)famous cop had, and when the victim does end up having a record, that only comes out later because dogwhistle racists dug it up to use it as an excuse. It just plain does not matter what kind of crimes a suspect may or may not have committed in the past, what determines the legal justification of any official response is what they are or aren’t doing during that response. Even scumbags still have a right to due process; we gave the goddamn Nazi high command a fair trial, and defendants literally do not get any more obviously guilty than that.
Never engage with a duck

Twitter is a terrible conversation medium with its character cap and in so far as championing causes only lets one to go as far as sloganeering or memetics. It doesn’t allow actual thoughtful argument or debate, though that’s if Facebook is really a better medium in that regard.
But to also draw conclusions based on the popular expressed oppinion on a certain demographic from Twitter is a poor strategy. In part because those actively and loudly talking about a subject may be those with the most extreme, violent, or personal views on the matter. To use Twitter as evidence in that regard should really come with some severe study of the people tweeting to compile basically a census with a comparison of whose saying what compared to others versus those not saying anything but who may be in support; which is in itself difficult without sending everyone on Twitter a questionnaire and asking them to fill out their opinions as well as basic demographic information.
For that matter, and on that level there’s the Pew Research Center which provides a much more comprehensive library of opinion polls and demographics on issues such as these.
But for fuck’s sakes: posting a collection of screenshots of carefully selected individuals as evidence that black Americans want to kill cops is poor form and in my old history of debating a matter I would have not only been shut down; I would have been murdered for that sort of tact. I’d have to back it up materially with something like Pew and post and explain why it’s related to le zoomed text meme’ing.
There’s more I could have said, but I’m not going to press the point since you’ve expressed your desire to end this twice.
I also had a slight issue posting my last response - it went through, but I had to prove that I wasn’t a robot, which has never happened to me here. I assume it’s the volume of text, although it could also be the multiple links I used in that post.
There are two points I can’t resist making:
I guess that’s that then, but I’m subscribed to this comment thread, so if you feel like picking this up again, I’m down for it.
Sorry Vitruvious, was enjoyable debating with you, thanks for that
lmao the Snopes article you linked summed up with “J-just because they’re doing Crips things d-doesn’t mean he was a crip!”. No actual evidence or proof of fakery.
You’re gonna have to do better than that, yo.
I already said the officer involved in Tamir’s shooting was in the wrong, I merely explained the thought process and to them, the justification for being on edge (suspect who was not said to be 12 years old threatening people with a weapon [no one told them it was fake]). In face of evidence though, whether me and you like it or not, as preventable as his death was, the two officers involved were not indicted (as everything could be attributed to “human error, mistakes and miscommunications” and not “le pigs are out to get us”), proving once again that knee-jerk lynch mob justice isn’t alive in well in the US yet and evidence still prevails as the main way to win a case. Much to people’s dismay, I’m sure.
But for are your bleeding heart virtue signaling, you fail to address that even WaPo admits that an overwhelming 95% of police shootings are justified. WaPo of all sites. That extremely small 5% are unclear or unjustified. Again, hardly the epidemic you people love saying it is, with only 8% of those 5% leading to proof of misconduct and negligence punishable by law.
Due process goes out the window when an officer’s life is threatened. That’s the risk you run when you resist arrest. At that point, it’s either them or the thug trying to kill them (how very leftist of you to throw out hard facts as “childish arguments”). Like I said, when shootings are CLEARLY unjustified, like the therapist who was calming his autistic patient when he got shot or the sleeping child who was killed in a no-knock raid, I’m right there with you on taking those guy’s badges and getting justice, so I don’t know why you keep waving that flag.
A majority, eh? Cite your source. One that isn’t HuffPo and WaPo, because I’ve been on ride-alongs, when police are dispatched on the scene, they are given a full status report on the suspect’s arrest history and any warrants they currently have out for their arrests.
