Okay. I can agree that we do go on tangents. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 05/12/2014 10:23:21 PM

I ain't skeered of no snowballs! Hmph!

As for tangents, yes, we all go on them and if I think that's what we're discussing I'm cool with it. I thought it was a rebuttal to my point. I am more than happy to discuss systemic issues which harm minority and other socio-economically disadvantaged groups. Drug laws, profiling, militarization of the police, barriers to employment, etc.

Right now I just heard on the news a group of protesters chanting "Black Lives Matter!" And they do, but so do the whites who are killed. But listening to the news, you'd never know whites were also killed by police. I actually was shocked it was that many more whites than blacks because of the reigning zeitgeist on this issue right now. But when the SJW's get going, facts no longer matter, whether it is this issue or "rape culture" or "the war women".

New York cop pushes black man's face into pavement and chokes him to death for selling cigerettes Sports_Gambler - 04/12/2014 12:03:54 AM 1252 Views
What does his color have to do with anything? Cannoli - 04/12/2014 07:37:08 AM 775 Views
A short answer for your long post beetnemesis - 04/12/2014 04:43:12 PM 623 Views
123 blacks shot to death by cops in 2012; 326 whites. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 12:40:56 AM 661 Views
These numbers make me angry. Urza - 05/12/2014 05:39:26 AM 616 Views
I hate these stats, so misleading. Only 13% of the US population is black! Nebhead - 05/12/2014 02:02:18 PM 710 Views

It doesn't matter why. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 03:19:54 PM 823 Views
it does to me. nossy - 05/12/2014 03:52:01 PM 621 Views
Dangerous territories when you talk socioeconomics The Shrike - 05/12/2014 04:08:57 PM 584 Views
Danger is my middle name. *NM* nossy - 05/12/2014 04:47:23 PM 333 Views
But that's a completely separate issue than the one that the post is talking about. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 05:12:44 PM 756 Views
Heh, yes. Because none of us ever adds layers to these posts. Ever. nossy - 05/12/2014 07:34:04 PM 646 Views
That is SUCH A BAD SENTENCE. nossy - 05/12/2014 08:07:18 PM 637 Views

So what you have implied here then is that The Shrike - 05/12/2014 04:05:10 PM 640 Views
That's a fair assumption to make *shrug* *NM* Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:35:59 PM 368 Views
And now you're the one doing exactly what you implied Cannoli was doing. LiterateDog - 05/12/2014 05:17:25 PM 561 Views
Implicit in your posts seems to be the assumption that crime rates and arrest rates are equal Ghavrel - 06/12/2014 09:26:13 AM 714 Views
If you want to keep getting deeper in the weeds..... Anonymous2000 - 06/12/2014 07:28:49 PM 530 Views
I'm not disputing that; I'm saying there's an issue with the overall rates of arrest. *NM* Ghavrel - 06/12/2014 08:29:49 PM 288 Views
the problem with your example is it the execption not the rule random thoughts - 08/12/2014 02:40:14 PM 584 Views
I don't have any proof of that either way. I agree that broken window policing plays a role. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/12/2014 12:25:14 AM 234 Views
They question is it it worth the cost? random thoughts - 09/12/2014 04:40:02 PM 446 Views
...I'm doing no such thing. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:27:13 PM 639 Views
L-Dog is right, you are wrong, look at the proportion of crimes committed..... Anonymous2000 - 05/12/2014 06:30:29 PM 622 Views
Erm, no. Nebhead - 07/12/2014 05:34:38 PM 758 Views
Unbelievable. I have no words... *NM* ironclad - 04/12/2014 10:15:32 AM 484 Views
he was not choked to death and he was not choked for selling cigerettes random thoughts - 04/12/2014 02:28:44 PM 589 Views
I mean, "Killed him without intent" is pretty much the definition of manslaughter, isn't it? *NM* beetnemesis - 04/12/2014 04:44:18 PM 351 Views
sorry but it isn't random thoughts - 04/12/2014 05:54:27 PM 560 Views
did you actually watch the video of his death? moondog - 04/12/2014 06:30:26 PM 620 Views
OK watched it all the way. Which one of my conclusions were suppossed to change? random thoughts - 04/12/2014 07:39:07 PM 494 Views
sorry, i mistook you for a human capable of compassion. my mistake moondog - 04/12/2014 07:47:35 PM 527 Views
Don't worry I don't mistaake you for someone capable of rational thought random thoughts - 04/12/2014 10:56:44 PM 522 Views
The guy is dead due to preexisting medical conditions and for resisting arrest. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 05:11:41 PM 512 Views
watch the video below - the choke hold applied is barred from use by NYPD rules moondog - 04/12/2014 07:43:15 PM 650 Views
The multi-racial grand jury concluded it wasn't a choke hold. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:47:31 PM 270 Views
with secret testimony how do you know for sure? they only chose not to indict moondog - 04/12/2014 07:52:04 PM 528 Views
The grand jury had all the facts, much, much, much more than you could imagine. Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 08:00:51 PM 545 Views
the grand jury had all the facts the DA felt they needed to not indict and much much more moondog - 04/12/2014 08:10:26 PM 465 Views
according to you all they needed was the video and if they didn't see that there is a problem *NM* random thoughts - 04/12/2014 10:58:34 PM 318 Views
I find this video much more damning random thoughts - 05/12/2014 05:01:11 AM 710 Views
That's pretty much what a police lieutenant in my hometown said. Cannoli - 05/12/2014 05:42:51 AM 681 Views
where did you get the heart attack from? wikipedia shows it as a homicide, as it should moondog - 04/12/2014 06:32:44 PM 544 Views
Homicide doesn't equal crime, look up the medical/legal definition of the word. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 04/12/2014 07:49:06 PM 262 Views
if only it were possible to get to the facts in a court case to prove one way or the other *NM* moondog - 04/12/2014 07:53:18 PM 314 Views
Even wiki says he died of a heart attack on his way to the hospital random thoughts - 04/12/2014 08:06:00 PM 536 Views
