Why doesn’t Black on Black crime cause the same anger as what happened in Minneapolis?

Speaking out against the 1000s killed by black on black crime isn't putting black people down.

It really is ignoring the fact that whites kill more whites every year than blacks kill blacks.

What about white on white crime? Why doesn't Fox concentrate on that? Where's Trump when a white person kills a white person?

especially considering whites kill more whites than blacks kill blacks.

BLM tells the democrat party what will be. Everyone is bowing to BLM. A black retired ex policeman was murdered by the rioters, any coverage from race media?

no coverage because black votes matter, not lives

Why?

It is far, far, far more destructive.

Criminal action happens, where there is freedom there is crime. The State executing people without due process is a completely different thing. Perchance we don't see the anger of black on black crime that exists within the community because it's not reported as much, but that change is still desired. But that has a lot more to do with far larger socio-economic reasons than the State Authority abusing its power of force against The People and killing unarmed people in custody.

We have about 15K firearm homicides a year. On some level that's distrubing and we work in ways in which we can limit it. In the limit, however, that there is freedom to keep and bear arms, that level will never be zero. And we may accept that as a consequence of the freedom. If, however, the State started shooting people for non-compliance, that's a different situation. We may accept 15K, work to lower it, but live with it as non-zero. But the State exercising its power and force against the People unjustly would outrage us. It should outrage us. So perhaps here, the State exercising its force beyond the boundaries placed on it produces greater anger because this is our system that's supposed to work for us, and not kneel on our necks for almost 10 minutes til we're dead.

They will be too busy working on the only problem they see, racism and discrimination. They will be focused upon racial sensitivity training. They don't have a problem with the 75% of people who die from police use of force who are not black

Which is why it's idiotic for white people to turn a blind eye toward police misconduct in general because they think it doesn't happen to them.

In reality policing simply needs reformation to protect those in it's custody and the current problem of police misconduct toward black folks will also be addressed.

When DA's stop going easy on cops who assault and kill people in their power, when officers decide to stop covering up for abuse and misconduct and when police are trained to de-escalate situations you will have a lot fewer people who die because the police showed up.

Many racist who post on this forum think all black people are bad because of FOX news media.

I suspect the # of actual racist who think all people are bad is less now than it was before FOX news existed. Im not seeing the connection.

Less now due to integration. But that does not negate the fact the it still exists and media like FOX news contributes to that

Not agreeing that George Floyd was killed because he is black is not turning a blind eye. Its a grasp upon reality. And the police, local and state authorities could go to herculean efforts and reduce all incidents of the police misuse of force by 90% and they will still be enraged that black are 25% of the victims of those incidences while only representing 13% of the population.

I don't think the current effort to contain police violence has been anywhere near par, let alone herculean. When so called "good" cops stop protecting bad ones, then I think the problem and the optics get better.

I said "could go". Hypothetically. Not have gone. They haven't done ****. They are too busy with racial sensitivity training instead of addressing the real problem of police brutality and overuse of force they are trying to correct for racist police officers.

Why does FOX news only focus on black on black crime when a white man kills an unarmed black man. What is it that I am not being told

Just, what the heck are you talking about? Fox News is NOT only focusing on black on black crime....they just have the guts to tell the truth and not ignore it to keep their listeners ignorant as the other News organizations. Fox News has been talking about the death of George Floyd over and over....jeesh, another false leftie narrative. Please, get a grip on reality....no never mind, why waste my time.

I don't think correcting racist police officers is a problem.
