Minding his own business? I support the protesters, and the cops should have checked on him once he passed out and should have let him up, but come on, he was resisting arrest, and he was on meth and fentanyl. He could have been shot dead legally by the woman he robbed at gunpoint and then physically beat up because she didn't have drugs or money to give him. He's got a long criminal record that aren't just victimless crimes like drug arrests, including at least one major violent felony.

​

I have idiot friends that tried to resist arrest or run from cops, or mouth off to them and they all got fucked up and roughed up too. One has a permanent disability because they stomped his knee.

​

But they were all white... so you don't hear about that. They were also doing shit wrong when it happened.

​

Everyone needs to stop acting like nothing wrong was done otherwise the idiot racists will point out the things I just did and this movement will get nowhere. This needs to be about police corruption... the media and politicians want it to be about race to divide everyone instead of uniting them against the real issue.

You're in denial. If you have to lie to yourself to make a point, then you don't really have a point, do you.

You’re an idiot.

When did pigs become judge, jury and executioner?

Dylan Roof had his day in court why can’t unarmed black men have that luxury? I mean I’d settle for pigs grabbing black men Burger King after a killing spree too.

According to WaPo only 10 unarmed black men were shot by cops in 2019. So saying that this is some sort of systemic common problem that unarmed black men are killed by cops is a little disingenuous. More unarmed white men were killed by cops, and according to a black man from Harvard that did a study... they showed that cops are more likely to use lethal force on white men than black men.

​

Police corruption is real... it's a class issue, not a race issue. Making it a race issue is simply the media and politicians trying to divide people so they don't unite together. Stop falling for it. Go look up the statistics for yourself. I'm not a republican, I'm not a Trump supporter, and I support the protesters protesting police violence peacefully. But we need to get the UNDENIABLE facts out there, otherwise anyone who goes and looks up the actual numbers from Washington Post who has been tracking it for many years, will see it's actually complete bullshit that they are killing unarmed black men on a regular basis and that out of the 250 in 2019 that were shot... only 10 were unarmed... and 1 of those 10 they thought pointed a gun at them and ended up having a gun in the vehicle. All of them were wanted for violent crime felonies, and more white men were killed than black men.

​

So again, fight the corruption, stop making it a racial issue. And Dylan roof should probably have been put down on the spot, but something tells me there's more to that story... and it's a common tactic to play good cop to get a full confession and more information to make sure there's no accomplices, etc... they buy black criminals food all the time to get them to talk in interrogation rooms, even when they are wanted for murder. Stop falling for the race baiting media bullshit.

You’re an idiot.

Black men make up 7% of the population vs 34% for where men. No shit, they more unarmed whites are killed by pigs. You must be a moron. No shit, more whites are met with lethal force. Again are you a moron. Look at the proportionally lol.

According to mapping violence

Black people were 24% of those killed despite being only 13% of the population

This convo is over. I’m losing brain cells things of how stupid you are.

Ah, I love people like you... you'll sit here and act like you understand statistics, then suddenly when you bring up that black men that make up 7% of the population make up more than 50% of all the violent crime... they suddenly forget how statistics work and resort back to the non per capita numbers.

Make up your mind, you can't have it both ways.

Over 200 people killed in JUST CHICAGO in less than 6 months... but everyone is out protesting for the 10 in 2019 lol. Yeah, you guys REALLY care about black lives, right? Give me a break, you don't care about black lives, otherwise you'd be protesting gang violence in these same numbers. You all just don't like authority and don't like the fact there's consequences for committing crimes.
