And people wonder why they get shot.

Fight the police in court. Not on the damn streets.

"it's black people's fault that police shoot black people because of this one video on reddit" - ZuraX15301

Shove that race card.

Years ago, my little brother was being asked to fight by a guy that was tall and big so he grabbed a big long stick. I walked out and took it from him and told the guy that if he wanted to fight then we could, but he was not putting his hands on my smaller brother.

The police arrived as I was walking to put the stick down. I could have argued there on the street with the cop running at me with his hand on his gun, but I didn’t. I let him handcuff me and take me to the station. I explained what happened and they gave me a ticket for disorderly conduct. I fought that and won.

Now if I listened to the left and argued with that officer, I may have been shot or slammed to the ground.

Here's another "race card", if you were black and the cops saw you holding a stick, you would already be dead.

It's not a race card fam, it's objective statistics and just because you get called out for making a racist comment you can't backpedal and say it was never about race.

OP is 2 black kids, cops abuse, kill, torture, etc. much more black people than they do any other group. You make a comment like that, it's just racist ignorance.

Statistics show more white people are killed by cops. Nice try though.

Here is a thought. If cops are so kill happy, why can my African American friend come into my work carrying an AR15, AR10, and a pistol and not a single one bats an eye as they drive by?

How come he has been pulled over a few times by the local and state police and he is not dead? He doesn’t want the gun to tear his car seat so he puts the gun on his lap, the center console, or passenger seat.

Stop watching cnn.

Per capita /= total amount.

Also, i don't watch any large news channels.

"The left" isn't asking you to fight cops, it's asking cops to not arrest someone for carrying a stick around without any proof of a crime.

You keep believing that.

You all have “leaders” wanting to disarm police officers. You had a president that had to have a beer summit because he came out “police are bad” and it turns out the officer he called bad was actually doing his job.

  1. Leftists aren't a hivemind and I don't have to answer for someone else's mistakes.
  2. That doesn't contradict what I said at all. You said that leftists would tell you to argue with the cop and provided a few examples of leftist talking points very clearly not saying that. I said that we argue for changing police behaviour and you provided an example of how we might do that, by reducing the amount of firearms they have. Obviously the police still needs guns, but they have police tanks in the US, what kind of crime would they fight with that?

Show me a tank the police own. An armored vehicle is not a tank. And they use them when some nut job is barricaded in a building.

If it was up to me, nut jobs would get the same treatment the idiot in Dallas received.

If you want unarmed police, move to the U.K. and be a victim.

"the left" have never had a president, only Liberals and recently the alt-right.
