Chicago violence

So much for the benefits of an armed society, eh?

That so few of these criminals are brought to justice certainly re-enforces the idea that their vicitm's lives don't matter.

Where is the justice?

Apparently they only matter if it involves a white policeman after a crime.

Or a couple of inbred white trash in Georgia.
 
Defunding the police should solve this. No police and no one to keep record of crimes. Therefore the problem would be solved.

Why is it stupid? Exponentially more black lives are taken by other blacks than are taken by police. Why does such a comparatively small number get the majority of attention?

It's stupid to equate gang violence with police brutality. A simple-minded child knows the difference.

So it has nothing to do with blacks killed. Just blacks killed by cops.

Maybe you have a point. But then again maybe the reason there is so many police contacts in those areas of high violence where there is a predominately large number of Black people who involve themselves in crime has something to do with it too? You can only blame the people who are accepting and tolerating criminal behavior--- or excusing it for much of the problem.

If police brutality is as you believe automatically baked into the cake, then why so few incidents in neighborhoods where people follow the rules and aren't victimizing everyone around them? This isn't a race issue in places like Chicago, it is a CULTURE issue. When was the last time you saw a news report of a group of Jewish kids attacking and beating someone on the subway for their sneakers? Or how many time do you see news stories of 50 Asian kids rushing into a mall and stealing merchandise?

People don't want to have the attention of the police, then stop being involved in crime--or associating with criminals. George Floyd was murdered by a bad cop and there is no excuse for what the cop did to him. And yet why were the police called out to the scene by another citizen if not for suspicious criminal behavior (alleged)? Floyd same as Rayshard Brooks had criminal histories. BOTH were suspected of violating laws. Neither were profiled by the police, citizens called on them. Therefore at some level you need to consider WHY the police are making contacts with people. Doesn't absolve police of racially profiling when they do that. But like it or not there are a LOT of criminals among us. Apparently many just waiting to break bad and do violence and steal just as the so called "peaceful protests" have proven.

We already know the truth. Just trying to find out if the idiots on the left have the balls to admit it

Another stupid post. What is it about this topic?
Listen up. You don't have to earn the right to protest police brutality by also protesting every other social ill plaguing the country.
And that stupid "so you're saying that..." ploy was ridiculously juvenile the first time some dimwitted kid used it back in the dial-up internet days.

Police brutality. It's a protest against police brutality. Gang violence is a different topic.

So you are saying that black lives matter only when it fits with the liberal agenda. Got it, thanks.

Lost me at, "If police brutality is as you believe..."
I've never said anything like that.

Listen. This is the last time I'll say this.
You don't have to earn the right to protest police brutality by protesting every other social ill plaguing the country as well.
