    You're saying if these protestors were black they'd be shot? Have you not heard about the 3 months of nightly violent riots in major cities, that include burning police precincts with police still in them? No one was shot in those either.

    Not that I’m defending Jose, but those were mostly privileged white idiots doing those things (from the videos I’ve seen).

    Unfortunately today I discovered that I am, in fact, racist because I believe that Blake bears some responsibility for the outcome. The video I’ve seen shows him clearly disobeying orders from the police, going so far as to reach into his vehicle out of sight of the police.

    Did Blake deserve to be shot in the back 7 times? Absolutely not. Does he have some responsibility for this outcome? Definitely in my opinion. According to Chuck D that makes me part of the problem, thus racist. Not sure I agree though.

    (Sorry if this post should have been in the BLM thread.)

    WP is being a 17 year old kid who brought an ar-15 to a protest, killed 2 people, wounded a 3rd, walked past 5 police cars with the gun and not getting stopped, and getting to go home and sleep in your own bed.

    Could’ve had a knife in there. Threatened to kill a law enforcement officer just doing his job. Threw his license on the ground. I hope they charged him with littering. Should have “just complied” but guess he doesn’t have to. I wonder why that is?

    The contrast really is striking, isn’t it? 

    But let’s take a moment to recognize that this officer did what those other ones SHOULD have done - remained calm, didn’t escalate it, repeated his request for the ID without shouting it or giving contradictory commands, and waited for the eventual compliance that, yes, generally comes. And everyone walked away without bullet holes in them.

    I’m saying that if a black mob was to try to push their way into a federal building they’d be met with violence period! And if a black 17 yr old was to walk up to cops holding an AR15 he would of been met with violence period , damn dude I’m shocked at how naive you come off on this issue again im not talking about the looters! I don’t condone burning shit down I condone protesting civilly.

    My comment was from several days ago, before the Rittenhouse shooting, so that isn’t relevant to what I was saying.

    You implied if these white protestors were black, the police would have shot them.

    Have you really not seen the footage of protestors throwing Molotov cocktails and bricks and pipe bombs at police? Have you not seen them break into police buildings and set them on fire, with at least one occasion police still inside?  Did you not see them push cops down trying to get to Rand Paul’ the other night yelling to kill him? All those groups included black protestors. I don’t recall a single one being shot by police during the protest. This has been going on for 3 months. How many black protestors have been shot by police during a protest? I believe zero.
    But you think this other group would have been mowed down if they were black? Even though they are less violent than countless other examples that have been allowed to continue on looting, rioting and other forms of violence?
    I don’t care if you weren’t talking about looters. You are saying this group would have been killed, but ignore the fact looters and rioters have done far worse without consequence for 3 months. 
    The truth is if this group was black the outcome would have been the same.
    That doesn’t mean there aren’t cases of individual police treating black people differently. But the black mobs have definitely been given plenty of slack.

    There have been plenty of these protests lately where black people were armed with AR-15s and were not “mowed down” as people here are suggesting they would be.  I think rhetoric like that promotes more discourse.  It seems like this crap is only happening in “progressive” cities...wonder why that is?  There have been marches and protests here in my podunk TX city and everyone has been civil, police even walking with the BLM crew...I wonder why they cannot be civil and refrain from starting fires in the large cities.  It almost seems like hate and intolerance have a direct correlation to liberal large urban areas...ironic.

    Because of people like Umbrella Man, identified as a member of the Aryan Cowboys, responsible for the first smashed and torched business in Minneapolis. And despite the authorities knowing his identity, he hasn’t been arrested yet. I wonder why?

    Yea I don’t.Maybe it’s Hollywood privilege? Or the fact that it was a conservative woman that was called a nappy ass hoe? Just another example of do as I say not as I do. It’s ok to make fun of these people, but not these. It’s ok for you to be locked down, but not me. Yea..... I don’t get it.
