.... wow, just wow. I feel sorry for most of you people here. So disconnected from reality.
No, they aren't. BLM routinely defends violent thugs and actively tries to destroy the rights of citizens to defend themselves from a violent attack. I'd rank them above the politicians that feed off of their bullshit (e.g. Obama and Hillary), but they're still useless people whose thought processes go no deeper than "Man X was shot, man X was black, therefore it was a bad thing".
Can you honestly say a white man would be shot in his car with his 4 year old while reaching for his wallet, or shot while restrained, by the same cops?
Maybe it's your thought process going no deeper than thinking that is their thought process. It's the manner in which the black men were killed that screams racism. Can you honestly say a white man would be shot in his car with his 4 year old while reaching for his wallet, or shot while restrained, by the same cops? Racism exists. There is a need for their movement whether you agree with every facet of what they do or not. I acknowledge the movement is needed, and disagree with some of their methods. Just like I acknowledge police are needed, and disagree with some of their methods.
This statement right here disgusts me. Dont be so fucking ignorant. They only kill black people. right? Cops never shoot anyone whos skin color isnt black/brown? No? If a cop pulls up to some trashy white trailer park neighborhood, or a latino, Armenian or hispanic neighborhood ... do you think it would have been any different? No, i can guarantee you that it would not. And i can tell you that from experience. There are neighborhoods all over southern cali that dont have a single black person but you better believe that if you make the wrong move, the cops are going to fucking unload on you. For example, if a cop goes up to the Avenues(not a black neighborhood) in LA, and there's a car with 5-6 foos hanging out, and the cop rolls up to them and one reaches in his pocket or tries to punch a fuckin cop, what do you think is going to happen? There is only one correct answer here. And it shouldnt be surprising to anyone ... If it is than it just showcases that said person should not be commenting on things they evidently never experienced, even seen or . Anyway... I'm a minority, lived amongst minorities my whole life ... most of the cops in my cites police department are black, so are most of the judges and most of our mayors have also been black. Most of the people pushing this war on blacks bullshit are either a)riled up african americans or b) (which most of the people here would fall under)sitting on top a hill in some fuckign suburb and have never even come close the experiences such things. And usually the reason that a) is riled up is because of politicians and activists that fall under b).
Cops end up killing people when they feel threatened,.... most of them are twats that were probably bullied or something growing up so im pretty sure that its not hard for such people to feel threatened at the drop of a hat. So if cop walks into a poor neighborhood(which im guessing most of you guys think are only black neighborhoods? Right? Ignorance at its finest), you better believe that he is going to be on his toes. Like i said, some of you guys are clearly separated form whats going on in the actual ghettos/hoods. It's easy to scream "racism" when you've never come close to experiencing it or being around it.
that being said, both of the cops that shot Sterling need to be put to death imo. We never got to see what happened in the Philandro video initially, i didnt see if he tried to reach for his gun or not. He definitely shouldnt have been standing their pointing the gun at him when he was fucking dying. But one thing i did notice was how calm and casual his fuckin cunt of a wife was when he was slouched over and going out. ugh.
It just disgust me that every time a cop shooting happens the left and their brainwashed lackeys jump on the race card. White people get shot by cops, we dont hear shit http://www.dailywire.com/news/7274/cops-shoot-white-guy-fresno-nobody-pays-attention-hank-berrien ... black guy gets shot by the cops, gets blasted all over the media.
that is all.
That particular case is very unfortunate and I fully support murder charges against the cop if it went down the way it was described (and I'm inclined to believe it did, based on his lack of a criminal record and possession of a CCW). Unarmed white people get shot by cops too though. See:

EDIT: TNB beat me with the story above
The fucking worst response. We need to be working on healing here not opening new wounds.. Eventually there has to be peace, one way or another. Why not now?
Yes it happens. However it happens disproportionately to black people.
Proof pls.
I don't understand what those percentages are even supposed to represent. 13% of all black people had been stopped by the police on a given year, compared to 10% of all white people? That sounds negligible at best, especially when you consider that at least for certain crimes, blacks commit them at a rate roughly 10 times higher. It can't be 13% of people stopped by police are black compared to 10% of white people and 10% of Hispanics, because then where is the other 67% going (inb4 "female Asian drivers")?
Anything about physical force used by cops during an arrest can be dismissed knowing the disproportionate amount of violence committed by blacks against cops compared to other ethnicities. The number of blacks killed by cops is very proportional to the percentage at which blacks kill cops. I don't deny that there are scared cops out there that fuck up badly (the dude in the car again, the guy running down a stairwell shot by an Asian cop in NY, etc), and that race isn't a partial influence, but the way BLM would make you think, the cops are just the new KKK and it's virtually impossible for a white guy to be shot.
