We won’t be seeing the type of rioting we did for say George Floyd because the cops were all black.

You're probably right, but we should not underestimate the left's propensity for projection. The reaction to this is just getting started.

Tha KS for the links- that academic research on police shootings is very inciteful. One quote from it:

Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, there is no government agency more dedicated to the proposition that black lives matter than the police. The data-driven, proactive policing revolution that began in the mid-1990s has saved tens of thousands of black lives that would have otherwise been lost to urban gun violence had crime remained at its early 1990s rate. Unfortunately, those crime gains are now at risk, thanks to the false narrative that police officers are infected with homicidal bias.

Ths stats prove that statement to be true. There is no “systemic racism” in the police force nationwide. Especially given the fact that 10,000,000 arrests are done each year, and only a tiny fraction result in unarmed black men being killed unjustifiably. Cops are far more conscious of avoiding racial bias tha. Are citizens, yet it is citizens that condemn cops for racial bias at the drop of a hat.

Accordi g to a blurb by tucker carlson, In 2019, only 2 unarmed black men were killed by cops unjustifiably, and those 2 cops were tried and convicted, as they should have been. 54 cops lost their lives that year nbeing shot by perps.

The African American community tends to be policed more heavily, because that is where people are disproportionately hurt by violent street crime.

Yet they still use the race card to cover up the black leaders
failure’s to protect them.
The last black cops on blacks they still say it’s a white racism issue and the media are fueling the fire.

The Anti-Antifa folks needs to circulate pictures of all known Antifa members.

Before every riot they can put pictures up of the leaders who organize these riots.

Once we see who is promoting the violence, it’s up to the middle class to either sue them to death, or ... put up with it.

The American Thinker article talks about riots in Memphis. I checked the news and there’s no mention of violence. There were protests and what not but I can’t find anything about arson or assault.

I know there was property destruction but it wasn’t in Memphis.

Am I missing some big story?

“Four of the five had bonded out by Friday morning”

Yeah the people bitching about them being arrested so quickly don’t wanna talk about that little detail.
