That very well could be the dumbest analogy I have ever seen.
This is the real point. Justified or not, police shouldn't be killing this many people. The system is broken clearly. It's not just a matter of cops shooting unarmed people for no reason, there is way more of a problem then just that. I'm not trying to put this all on the officer side of things. There is a hostility set up that doesn't seem to exist in other countries.
Said another way, there is no data to support the conclusion. Did it ever occur to anyone that the youth of this country has become some of the most violent since the birth of this nation. Let's consider that in the presumed escalation of numbers.
Violent crimes are way way down over the past several decades. So you're way off here.
That is a complete and utterly laughable lie. Violent crime has gone down every year since 1993. We're at lower per capita numbers than when you were a kid.
First of all I was addressing youth specifically. Secondly I do not recall in my earlier life and subsequently hearing of young people killing school mates in mass murder escapades like there has been in the past 20 or so years. And finally the statistics may show a reduction on a per capita basis but the crimes are more violent.
This is correct. There are much more mass murder/terrorist type events now versus back in the day. When I was a kid there were no such thing. You would hear about them happening in other countries and they were blown off as terrorism that could never reach our country. That terrorism is in our country now, and it's domestic, and there is absolutely no denying it.
The guy that shot up that theatre in NC was killed by a cop. Just saying.
Yeah. But usually they off themselves or give up. Even if every one of the mass shooters this year was taken down by a cop, it would maybe make up 1% of annual shootings by cops.
I'm not trying to say that mass shootings make up for a lot of cop killings. More supporting the idea that this generation is more violent than any before it. And it's true.
overall it's false. Even with an increase in mass shootings, violent crimes are way down across the board. Less violence means less violent criminals which means it's a less violent generation.
Again, not talking about the entire population. Just the youth. You can't use crime statistics unless you break it down by age.
Violent crimes were always driven by youth. You think it was 50 year olds committing all the gang related murders back in the 80s and 90s?
Old people just show them how. No way a Dylan Roof shoots up a church without old ass white supremacists "inspiring" him to.
