Texas cop Murdered by Black Thug

[Benuty]

Because of poverty, the breakdown of the family, and a culture that often seems to accept criminal activity?

Not to mention... poverty causes all kinds of societal ills including vice.

Especially when the government sanctions it through immoral measures such as the War on Drugs.

A war started by a die hard racist afraid of "Niggers taking our white women".

I mean...condolences? Cops have a dangerous job that often brings them into the line of fire. It's tragic, but cops should know what they're signing up for.

Somehow, for some odd reason or another, I don't think this thread would exist if the title went like "Texas cop Murdered by White Thug". It's weird, I know. Just a crackpot theory of mine.

OP, can you please explain, for the curious like myself, why you feel the peculiarities of the involved individuals' skin colouration is relevant to the core issue that a murder was committed?

Why is this #blacklivesmatter not racist, and #alllivesmatter racist?

Okay, imagine you're eating dinner with your family, and everyone has a plateful of food except you. You say "I want my fair share." To which your father replies "well, I think everyone should have their fair share." It's not like you diasgree, but his response doesn't actually solve your problem. Moreover, his response is based on an obvious and seemingly deliberate misinterpretation of yours. The meaning of the latter, which should be obvious to anyone approaching in good faith, is "I should have my fair share too." The way your father responded to it was as though you had said "I should have my fair share to the exclusion of everyone else getting theirs," even though you're not a lunatic who hates his family and would say something like that. To recap: not only do you not have food, everyone at the table thinks that you're the one being unreasonable.

So, it's not so much conscious, malicious racism as it is pretending that a legitimate racial grievance doesn't exist, and anyone who claims it does is the real racist for not also addressing a dozen problems completely unrelated to theirs. Which, y'know, is still actually racism. Just not super noticeable racism.

Its one thing if a LEO is killed during a shoot out, but the deputy was gunned down for no reason.

I live pretty close to the gas station where he was killed and before they had a POI I was considering making this thread.

Why does it reject reality, are we really that ingrained that we are superior to others, that we cannot not be racist?

We are making strides in that area, but largely, yes, I think so. Or rather, we CAN 'not be' racist, but simply not talking about these issues certainly won't cause them to disappear on their own.

My point is nobody cares about it. We blow up over everything that could remotely be an issue, but shit elsewhere in the world doesn't matter.

Well, regardless of whether YOU care about and regardless of whether SOME people don't care about it is irrelevant to the fact that it is an issue that some of us DO care about.

Well Im actually hearing this story in the other room right now...

I mean, being a cop does make you a target when lunatics go rampaging.

Again, tragic, but the police life is not one that can be described as "safe".

This reminds me of something that happened in a red sox game...
For one game they auctioned off seats for the families of fallen officers in the line of duty to have some extra money. Everyone was in an uproar about how racist it was

[Ifreann]

Well Im actually hearing this story in the other room right now...

Surely not. Everyone knows that all crimes against white people go ignore because of reverse racism, so you can't possibly be hearing about this crime.

I am as surprised as you are

These times? How is being a cop in "these times" any different than being a cop at any other time?

What do you mean? Police deaths have actually remained relatively low these past few years, for the most part.

Meanwhile, over 1,000 people have been killed by police since Michael Brown.

I bet this nutcake is going to claim he's avenging black people against law enforcement, like that asshole who shot two cops in their car after Eric Garner was strangled to death.

"While most of those people were white." Why did we not hear of them on here?

Because the rate of violent crime is really low now. And...um...something...

Because you didn't bring them up?

Seriously, you're allowed to make threads too.

I just did, do I have to make a thread for every person killed in the US... *groans* its gonna be a long night

[North America Inc]

Why is that a few deaths somehow equate to the whole system being infiltrated by Racism?

Nah. I'd settle for threads showing that white Americans are being killed by the police at a rate that matches Black American per capita.

Off you go.....

[Terminus Alpha]

"While most of those people were white." Why did we not hear of them on here?

Because this is an overall statistic of the year since Michael Brown was shot.

Also, if you didn't know already, white people are the majority - there are pretty much always going to more in raw numbers. What is horrifying is that while police have killed 2.07 white people per million, they've killed 6.78 black people per million. That is a massive discrepancy, and something that pure statistics can't account for.

It's not just a few.

[Fartsniffage]

Because you struggle with basic maths and you don't understand things like "deaths per capita"? It's okay though. The rest of the world understands that the US isn't very good at teaching it's students mathematics. You just need so remedial courses to get up to the same standard as the rest of us.
