What Lives Matter?

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Even in 1968 Gallup shows that a majority of Americans believed the negro was still responsible for his own plight and that they should stop protesting, their point had been made. The numbers are worse for 64. He was viewed with more scorn than the BLM movement is today.

White America was certainly not welcoming or caring.

True that, though I ascribe it more to complacency then mis-like.

[Montmorency]

You're unhinged.

No. Setting aside the predictable defamation of the Democrats, he more-or-less captures some core tensions and public perceptions for the issue.

More concisely, "Black Lives Matter Too", but "So Do Non-Black Lives".

They're both stupid, purely-contrarian slogans, and the only coherent justification I've heard for them is 'bandwagon'. What a pointless thing to make a social argument under their franchises....

So, someone blew up a cop car yesterday.

Pipe bomb explodes on police vehicle in Maryland

A pipe bomb exploded on a police vehicle in suburban Maryland early Wednesday, the police said.

The vehicle was parked on the street outside an officer's house in Thurmont, Maryland, Police Chief Greg Eyler told CBS Washington, D.C., affiliate WUSA-TV.

At around 12:30 a.m., the officer heard an explosion, Eyler told WUSA-TV. He and his wife went outside, and they found the remains of a pipe bomb beside his vehicle.

Eyler said it looked like someone placed the pipe bomb on the hood of the vehicle against the windshield. The main damage to the vehicle was to the windshield, and the bomb also blew out at least one side window.

The explosion sent shrapnel into a nearby house, sources told CBS News homeland security correspondent Jeff Pegues.

No one was injured, Eyler said.

A source told CBS News the bomb was "legit."

The bomb fragments were being analyzed at a lab for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Pegues reports.

No one was under arrest and the motive was unclear.

Investigators were not ruling anything out because of recent incidents where police officers have been targeted, Pegues reports.

lol, maybe the brittish police should start randomly shooting negroes to satisfy black life muppets so they get the racism they crave. Black life muppets are lmuch like leftist bored rich kids, rebels without a cause. A cause! A cause! My ffswutreally for a cause

Just like in the USA most blacks get killed by blacks. Does that matter, not to black life muppets. Only cherrypicked admittingly questionable events

Having high trust for the police helps bringing down crime. That requires that the police is trustworthy. In particular if you live close to crime, as it means that you'll have a lot more interaction with the police than average. It makes a lot of difference if they arrest that buddy's buddy that you suspected could've been a drug dealer, compared to beating up that other buddy's buddy that you know is fairly decent.

Let me put it this way, when the state got the monopoly of violence, the murder rate dropped 98-99% percent. When a community can't trust the police, they have to establish their own defense against violence, like in the old days, that had 50-100 times the murder rate of (Western Europe) today.

[Greyblades]

So what the hell are they doing in london? Seriously.

[AE Bravo]

Why would it matter? They're a response to police brutality. Of course that matters but that's not why they're protesting. You're the one cherrypicking.

[Legs]

So what the hell are they doing in london? Seriously.

Well lets see.
Hard question that one .
Obviously you have given it a great deal of thought.
So how's about ...It's London, that means it's the Met.
Does that seem logical so far? Are you keeping up?
So you will be aware that the Met has a bit of a recurring problem, yes?
A problem that has been ongoing for decades, yes?
A problem which occasionally cannot be covered up sufficiently and so requires a government or a judicial inquiry, yes?
Now perhaps you can answer this question.....
Year after year , decade after decade what do these inquiries find?
Is it
A The Met is a wonderful organisation which does its job with a sprinkling of unicorns and rainbows.
B The Met is institutionally racist and cannot do its job effectively until it fixes it's deep rooted faults.

See above for the answer, but you do seem to come across as a dumb racist so I don't think answers will help you at all.
Apologies for the use of the word "dumb", it is superfluous to the word "racist".

[Greyblades]

Oh boy here we go.

[Fragony]

oh no we don't, too normal to bother with

[Legs]

Oh boy here we go.

A or B
Simple isn't it.
I take it you know the answer, so the next question is why did you write such nonsense when you knew full well why there are protests in London and that there are plenty of valid reasons for those protests?
After all it is in the news today that the problems which were a factor in the expensive riots 5 years ago are now worse instead of better.
Perhaps you think improving matters is not important and objecting to those matters is somehow unimportant.
Which would be a very strange view, and a totally unjustifiable view from any logical perspective.

[Strike For The South]

Tribesman? Is that you?

at least change then style man.

[Legs]

????????

[Fragony]

Got it right here, you can pick it up tomorow

[Fragony]

There we go again, this time Milwalky. Criminal is shot, is black so must be racism, so why not burn stuff. If black life matters do something with your life. Screw that victimtude, really. Almost all blacks who get killed are kil,ed by blacks, fact.

[Legs]

.Almost all blacks who get killed are kil,ed by blacks, fact.

Is it a fact or is it a fiction?

[Greyblades]

In america, fact.

[Fragony]

Is it a fact or is it a fiction?

It's a fact. Why it is a fact is a different discussion.

[Legs]

In america, fact.

So its also a fact that the same is true for whites killing whites

[Legs]

It's a fact. Why it is a fact is a different discussion.

It is a different discussion, but it's also the same discussion.
The question is why did you raise it in a topic about protests about police violence.
Is it an attempt to deflect away from the issue of institutional racism

More whites are shot by the police, also a fact. Most criminals are male by the way, there I said it. I'll just admit it I'm a feminist

[Greyblades]

Indeed, which is why it's combined with the other statistics, like how they commit 52% of murders while only having 13% of the population share.

[Fragony]

Mostly other blacks, but if a cop shoots a black suddenly black life matters, Picking cotton must have been really traumatising it still haunts them today

We have the douchebags here, we have this black-pete thing that upsets the upset. Doesn't matter to them that it's a perfectly innocent kid's party, they celebrate it in our former colonies as well. Most hilarious, or sad, was that my nephew was attacked by bored white rich kids. He can't whipe it of he's actually black, and played black pete.

Racist much?

[Legs]

Another attempt to dodge the issue.
An unrmed black man is far more likely to be shot by the police than an unarmed white man.

[Legs]

Indeed, which is why it's combined with the other statistics, like how they commit 52% of murders while only having 13% of the population share.

What you wrote is the claim an individual made, the link explores if that claim is factual.
What you need to do is read the verdict, or even better read the two linked studies. Or even just read as far as the bit where "52% of murders" is pointed out to be wrong.

[Greyblades]

If you had actually paid attention you would know that it was the Bureau of Justice statistsics who was that individual who says that 52% of murders between 1980 and 2008 were caused by black offenders.

If you werent lazy maybe you would actually back up your statements and not come off as a contrarian tit.
