What exactly are you asking. I'm real dumb and need it spelled out for me.
Just mentioned that police are rarely indicted, let alone convicted, even when there is overwhelming evidence they committed a crime and when average citizens would have absolutely been put on trial (and likely convicted)

Basically Hillary Clinton

Don't hate cops, they are just agents of the state and therefore have special privileges I find unjust and unseemly.

What we need is a good Zombie pandemic that wipes out 90% of the world population. We as the human population need to hit the reset button.

Wow. Do some of you even realize how racist you sound in these posts? Good thing UK recruits never visit message boards.
I'm starting to wonder why everyone on here has gone to an extreme. I don't want cops shot or blacks killed by crappy cops. These are not mutually exclusive ideas but I'm not seeing many here that realize that.

This is NOT what I expected one of the shooters to look like...

I am 55 and for the first time in my life, I am honestly afraid for America

We have a national election between a crook and a complete buffoon (for the record, I am a Republican and ashamed of my party for nominating Trump)

We have law enforcement officers being gunned down in cold blood, which can only lead to anarchy (see, e.g., Chicago and Baltimore)

Yet . . . the video from Minnesota where a man who was a cafeteria supervisor for a Montessori School was shot to death in broad daylight in front of his girl friend and four year old daughter while reaching for his registration. Who wouldn't be outraged by that? So how can you be surprised at the anger in black communities, especially when that kind of **** happens all the freaking time.

We have a political system completely purchased by large well funded special interests. And that includes Coal, Oil, the Defense Industry, NRA, et al

We have 47% of the country who basically pay no taxes. Gov. Bevin just spoke at a group I was in, and stated that the value of benefits to a Kentuckian who doesn't want to work is like $13.75 an hour. So unless you pay $15/hr or more, it is better to sit on your ***.

The level of political discourse has never been more angry and less civil

I am afraid


I'm 55 also. I could have written this post, as I feel the same way.

But I'm not THAT afraid, because we still have a few months left of our omnipotent POTUS....he can discern immediately what's in someone's mind and heart. How else would he know that when a white LEO shoots a black person, it is due to inherent racism..even if the officer himself doesn't realize it. I mean, that's pretty damn impressive. But he must be losing it a little , because he did say on this one(with dead cops and a perp who said he wanted to kill white cops and white people) that we have to wait for the facts , didn't he? . He must be tired.

Also, by the way, the idiot governor of Minnesota has blood on his hands today.

Which he would have inevitably lost due to the color of his skin; Ironic, isn't it?
"Racist" is a term that was only coined at the turn of the century by that Marxist ******** Leon Trotsky to immediately end any dissent to Russia's Communist uprising. It's an easy outlet for those with no argument to fall back onto. Now, I will admit that the post referencing monkeys may be a touch racist, but advocating for accountability amongst an ethnic group is far from racist.

What would a Russian years ago know about racial diversity? It's not like Russia today has a lot of black people there. So I don't see how what he thought is even relevant to what is going on in the US today.

Let me say thoughts and prayers to the families, friends, and colleagues who lost a loved one yesterday. I made that post previously because I travel all around the country and when I mention I am a UK fan, people will bring up things about our fans being racist like they just finished watching Glory Road. Reading some of the posts, how can I defend that? They feed right into that stereotype.

And before someone calls me liberal, they are idiots too.

Are you serious? Please tell me I'm missing the sarcasm? You think racism is only about blacks? Do you think black and white are the only two races?

Racism can involve any race. Russian was not an all white country either.

5 whites were shot by cops in the last week. You seem OK with that.

It's not irrelevant at all. So many times in today's society, any time anything uncomfortable is said to a triggered liberal, they immediately claim it as racism so they don't actually have to refute any of the facts of a situation (see: @BigBlueSean or Hochuli ). It's the same tactic that the radical left has used since the coinage of the term, from a radical Jewish Bolshevik in the early 1900's to today's white-guilt ***** brainwashed college graduate.

Of course there are other races. But not in Russia. If they are another ethnic group. You wouldn't know it walking down the street. Only other races I met were Asians and they weren't local.

I was only speaking to how less diverse Russia is and how it is relevant to racial diversity in the US. No other country in the world really deals with the wide spectrum of races. And the things going on here today.

I don't agree but thanks for the explanation.

"Here's all you need to know: since 2000, NYPD officers have shot and killed about 180 people. Only 3 of those officers was even indicted for anything and only 1 was convicted, for a non-jail time offense. And these statistics are fairly typical of the nation at large."

What's odd is that I think 3/180 being indicted is a lot as I'd think the cops overwhelmingly are doing their job of protecting others. I mean, what the h was wrong with the three?

Britain, Austrailia, Africa, parts of South America, even sections of Canada. Just because it isn't being reported by the always truthful news, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It's typically all over social media. Anyone with a Twitter account could figure out the route.

And it appears to have only been one shooter from the reports I'm seeing now. From his movements on the videos I've seen, he appears to have been well trained at some point during his life as well.

I mean, you really think people marching in a protest want someone to open up on said protest? Seems dangerous, especially considering civilians were hit as well.

It's okay to be upset, but use some common sense.
How many of the protesters were hit? You even say the shooter was well trained. Wouldn't he shoot exactly at those he wanted to? Seems to me he did. And since it's all over social media, just shows BLM was making the route available to the killer(s). Use some common sense.

Russia was only a part of the USSR.

Why do I keep reading nonsense stats about the number of police shootings relative to the number of convictions? You act like these cops are just randomly shooting people. Why in the hell do you think cops are called for help? Obviously some dumbass is doing something stupid or the cops would not have been called there. How is not obvious to you there will be justified shooting in those situations? Why would cops be convicted of anything?

Some of you have lost your damn minds.

like how 3 of the 6 accused (and failed to convict any thus far) of killing Freddie Gray was black?
Well then the left would have to find another reason why it was happening. Perhaps, they would find out crimes were occurring. I know it is a stretch to think they would actually blame criminals for their actions but, a guy can dream can't he?

so which is gonna be breaking news faster, more talked about, flooding the tv stations, etc... black people shooting cops or cops shooting black people?

o_O

What do you think?

Cop shoots a black guy, it's racial and the cop HAS to be a racist.

Black dude mows down cops and says "I wanted to kill WHITE cops", and we will have to wait and see what the motives are.

How how badly has Obama and the "equality" party failed at race relations in this country? Instead of fix the problem of treating people as equals I'm sure they'll find another way to throw more government and regulation and tell the livestock, which are the democrats, that they need to do what they say. How can they not see this that this party is all about control for their own gain.
