there is not a huge, chronic problem of police shooting blacks--even justified or unjustified
Race and crime in the United States - Wikipedia
there is a huge problem of blacks committing murder
they murder over 3000 every YEAR--over 8 per DAY--most of the victims are BLACK
Agreed that there is a big problem with poverty and crime in the black community. There is an us vs them mentality that creates tension with law enforcement. But that tension is intensified by actions of law enforcement when they shoot unarmed black men at a higher rate than whites, or beat them in the streets, or are overly aggressive... you can’t deny there is a problem. You can point the finger or have an honest conversation about it and take some responsibility to do then best we can to clean up our law enforcement agencies and institute efforts to promote a better atmosphere
please prove there is a chronic, huge problem of police beating blacks--AND THEN prove it was because of their SKIN COLOR!!!
most of the police shootings have been proven justified....per the civilized court system
if you can prove they were shot because of their SKIN COLOR, I'm with you..I will protest with you
please show the many times unarmed blacks are shot by cops
I know of 1 that was UNQUESTIONABLY wrong
MBrown--justified
Oscar Grant--cop was sentenced to prison
who else?
AND THEN show me it wasn't a criminal resisting/attacking the police!!!
police have a right to self defense --YES OR NO ???
I won’t make that point because I’m not making that claim. And yes of course cops have a right to defend themselves
Until it's a black and they're supposed to stand down in order to not hurt their feelings.
Who says they are supposed to do that? That is a rediculous and baseless claim... as expected from you
"Rediculous"....?
What is ridiculous is why you and your ilk can't follow a simple red dotted line which indicates a misspelled word.
But that is to be expected when you ignore the realities of how organizations like "BLM" are asking for special treatment by cops while they chant...
Protesters in a Black Lives Matter march held outside the Minnesota State Fair over the weekend were captured on video yelling "pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon," a statement that some law enforcement members viewed as targeting police officers.

How many times must you be told that the problem is NOT the police but the gross disrespect shown by young black youths when in a confrontation with authorities?
Why is it so hard for people like you to understand that NOT ONE cop ever ever wants to go out and KILL a person, much less a black person.
But when you have groups especially black groups attacking the police for what is THE blacks deficiencies, i.e. not having a person in their family that provides
them with the authority image, then these black groups are grossly wrong as you are!
How many times must you see this video and read these suggestions on how to react to a cop?
