The Difference...

Plagiarism is copying another person's ideas, words or writing and pretending that they are one's own work.------ Never once have I claimed or pretended that any of Kevin's bullshit lies as being my own work. Correcting these lies is called "telling the truth", a principal that Kevin has never acquired.

How can 1 determine "motivation", when no other evidence is available. 

How come nobody is protesting the black police are killed, but start riots over 1 death?

 

Black on black crime is a problem. How can it be ignored?  But the politicians & media ignore it.

Its easy Tom...its a concept called "context".   They teach kids in school about it right about the time they seperate them into the kids who learn to  read from the ones who go on to  take shop class.   

 

When there's another convertsation in a long line of incidents surounding a white cop killing an unarmed black (like on this board) some people (like you) immediately and desperately try to change that conversation to all the black people who shot each other in Chicago.   

 

The White cops killing unarmed black guys is a really uncomfortable topic for you, isn't it Tom?

You haven't been able to acknowledge it on its own terms for your entire posting history here.

 

 I'm not basing that n this thread.   I'm basing that on every thread of this nature for the last 10 years whenever an incident like this occurs.  ALthough, I give you credit - this is a new record for you.   It took you more than 2 weeks to run to Black-on-black violence.  I'm not sure if thats progress or you just being lazy.   

 

But thanks for stopping by!

With PJ it is always some White poeple as being the source of whatever happens to Blacks or other races. Apparently crimes committed within the same ethnic group need not apply. Enjoyed the stop...


Pj - while we are at it, 19 unarmed whites were killed by the police in 2019 & 10 unarmed blacks. This is from the Wash Post data base of police shootings. 

If you could only solve one problem, which would you solve, the thousands of blacks killed by blacks or the handful of police shootings?

I dont have to solve one problem -  nor do I have to desperately change the topic when discussing one of these problems.    People like you do.   And let me tell you, I'm thrilled to not be in the group of "people like you".

 

 

And from your own source you were too afraid to post for the same reason you always are afraid to post.  It shows a very different narrative than the BS you desperately want it to.

 

From Tom's own source:   Unarmed Black people are more than 4 times as likely to be killed by cops as white people.    Or as Tom's math would say....same probability.    

 

And thanks for stopping by !

My source was the Wash Post police shooting database. 

Pretty graph but no source. 

By the way, nice dodge on my question. 

The question is simple, which is a bigger problem - thousands of blacks killed by other blacks or the occasional killing by a rogue cop?

I just looked up stats on black on black murder.............FBI data.

 

In 2016, there were 2870 blacks killed, and the killer in 2570 of these murders was a black person .  Ten are killed annually by police, and this is the topic of the year for Liberals.

 

You guys need to work on your time management skills.

Hey, stupido, since there are about six as many Whites as Blacks in America, shouldn't the number of unarmed Whites killed by the police be SIX times as many as unarmed Blacks killed, if policing was color-blind and racially unbiased?

The latter. Such "occasional" killings are in direct opposition to the supposed role of police as protectors of the public and enforcers of the law.

 

We give them guns and are very, very lenient when they use force for that reason--because we trust them to do what's right. When they fail at that, that tears a big hole in society.

 

"Blacks killed by other blacks" is a problem, sure, but we're never going to stop murders, White or Black. Therefore, talking about that is specious and irrelevant right now.

 

Unless you want to meaningfully discuss the income and other social disparities suffered by Black communitities that cause high crime rates.
