The illiberal left can't even pull the racism card as much as they would like because half the time it is a minority police officer. A black police officer from the ghetto knows first hand what their fellow young black men are capable of and the last thing they want to do is become another statistic of black on black violent crime.

I am not going to defend individual police actions in this case, or any other. There are thousands upon thousands of police encounters with young black men engaged in suspicious, oftentimes criminal, activity every day. When this happens, there is going to be cops killing black men, and the other way around too. It is inevitable.

The bottom line is that there is a very good reason that young black men are being profiled by police, because they are highly disproportionately dangerous criminals engaged in criminal activity at any moment, and if they want to change the narrative it first needs to start with them as a group cleaning up their behavior.

Now I know there is probably some socio-economic downstream stuff that might need to happen first before young men stop engaging in criminal behavior so much, such as education, dads raising their kids, more opportunity, etc. And I don't pretend to have the answers for any of this. But I do know as long as being a young black men dressed a certain way, driving a certain type of car, smoking weed, etc. makes you statistically tremendously more likely to be an armed criminal, police are going to keep "prolifing" and targeting black men. It is just how it is, and you cant fix an effect without fixing the cause first.

Do you honestly believe any of that?

i mean that's some ignorant tl;dr shit here.


you're full of shit actually. there's systemic racism in POLICE DEPARTMENTS across america. Maybe if we stopped hiring fucking racists to be in control of law enforcement, then maybe stupid fucking things like the Castille shooting won't happen.

And don't give me the fucking "do what they say" shit. he was doing what the cop said.


a man was killed lawfully carrying a fire arm, and not ONE single word from the NRA. not one single word of outrage from all the 2A nut jubs.
