But it is a racial thing.It's a bad state we are in. There seems to be no way to get out of it. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I feel like the more we make it about race, the worse it will get.
I don't think anyone is pretending. In fact, it is out of control because it is painted as race motivated "genocide".But it is a racial thing.
Last I checked, it isn't white men getting pulled over and killed by the cops.
We need stop pretending that racism isn't the main reason why this keeps happening.
And, it's not. That's my point. I'm not going to get into some deep argument about the police cases. Not after what happened in Dallas. Just sick.I don't think anyone is pretending. In fact, it is out of control because it is painted as race motivated "genocide".
It's no different than the Rodney King riots.You had to expect something like this was coming. People have a breaking point when they are being targeted unfairly. I'm not making excuses for terrorists who would snipe people, but I just figured this kind of thing was going to happen sooner or later when a man can't even reach for his wallet while being black.
There is no excuse for this. Stop trying to make one.It's no different than the Rodney King riots.
Is it right? No. Is it idiotic? Yes.
But like you said, there's only so much injustice a person or people are going to take before they blow.
The OJ Simpson doc on ESPN was great and it showed the long corrupt history the LAPD had with abusing black citizens. This was years and years of brutality and abuse. So even if Rodney King wasn't an upstanding citizen, there was no right to beat him to a pulp like they did and letting those cops off with no punishment was just too much for people to take.
That is what is happening now. Now you've got thugs and hoods running around targeting cops and it's an awful situation because innocent cops are losing their lives as a result. But this all stems from police brutality and abuse being allowed to continue for far too long.
Genocide it is not, but for people to still pretend that blacks are not being racially profiled and targeted by trigger-happy police is either complete ignorance or an outright refusal to acknowledge the issue.I don't think anyone is pretending. In fact, it is out of control because it is painted as race motivated "genocide".
Dude, nobody is making an excuse.There is no excuse for this. Stop trying to make one.
Yep.Feh, "people losing it" would be a guy or two in the mob getting worked up and firing a few rounds.
A coordinated sniper attack involving four gunmen at strategic positions creating an ambush sounds like terrorism to me.
It was a stupid thing to do but yet you have the NRA promoting the right to carry weapons like that around in public and people actualy doing it to promote there 2nd amendment rights.There was some moron walking around in camo, carrying a semi-automatic rifle at this thing last night. He got mad because his picture got out when the cops were looking for him. Well, you stupid shit, what did you expect when there were a bunch of cops getting shot and you're walking around with a rifle strapped around your neck?
