All I can do is laugh. Some of the people here are really funny. All that effort, all that bullshit, all to defend your racism. Your unsupported opinions are not facts, and most of you are intelligent people capable of recognizing the difference. Hell, you rely on expertise and measurable facts...

Hope you hear from them soon.

Another agree to disagree! This is one of the only places where folks like you and I can have reasonable conversations. We agree, we disagree, but at the end of the day, you're just a few hours from me and if you needed me I'd be in the truck headed your way.

History has repeatedly shown that trying to quell civil unrest with strong arm tactics fails. I can't think of a single example of it being successful, can you? A sonic weapon that makes people literally lose their sh!t? If that's the only harm suffered I'd be good with it....

My brother, and I mean that sincerely, this is one of those areas where we will have to agree to disagree. I see a clear difference in being told to stand down in order to defuse tensions and not doing their job, but you don't see it that way. We have fundamental disagreement on what the police...

Ummmmm government vehicles and buildings aren't business.....you realize that, right?

Obviously, if they have guns or other weapons by definition they're not peaceful protests. I've never expressed support for that, but I have stated my understanding of the frustration that leads to it. As I've said before, police officer doesn't rank in the top ten dangerous professions, and I...

So you're okay with an armed group operating outside the law? As long as you agree with their premise? And that doesn't answer the last three of my questions... What you are essentially saying is that you think taking of life in defense of property is acceptable, but destruction of property in...

I absolutely don't think it's okay to burn down businesses, that's an assumption you arrived at on your own. I've said repeatedly on this site that I don't agree with that. More to the point, it wasn't his business he was "protecting", he was nowhere near home. If it had been a case of a...

Why was he there to begin with? Why was he armed? Why was he running away? Why was he ignored by police? Why was he able to leave the area after shooting 3 people, killing 2?

Unfortunately, studies show (and anecdotal evidence is common) that black police officers internalize the attitudes inherent to their profession just like white officers, and part of that is racism. Treating black people differently is an entrenched part of police culture in this country. That's...

Looks like Houston may have avoided a direct hit...

Nope, I didn't bring up his past history, it may not have been you, but the argument was made earlier in this thread. The narrative that he was there to stop a fight is easily documented, multiple witnesses corroborate it. Evidence shows that black men are more likely to have bad outcomes from...

I'm just gonna leave this here for those of you who still think skin color doesn't matter in this country, especially when it comes to police contact. He literally walked past the police, still armed, after killing two people. https://chicago.cbslocal.com/?p=1044876

I'm concerned that this is going to be the catalyst to something far worse than what we've already seen. The fact that he killed two people and wasn't himself shot is a clear example of the disparity in treatment that is being protested. If any of you who are reading this truly don't...
