Just let the blacks destroy their towns and let them devolve into Detroit Jrs not providing any funding if they want to live lawlessly.

Problem is... they destroy their own cities, then move on to less-destroyed ground and destroy that as well.

I guess we all know that there are blacks out there purposefully trying to incite altercations with white cops.

Those cops best be careful.

There should be a law that cops can only shoot white people who are shooting at them. That would solve the problem.

Yeah I know. They need to have all black police forces in communities with 33 % or more blacks. Then they’ll have to find something else to get mad about or sue their own.

What we need then is a balance. Make sure that it is bad enough that it sucks for them, but not so bad that they move somewhere else.

Because — racism. (or something)

Ballistic evidence recovered from the scene indicates that the teen fired three rounds at the officer before his weapon jammed, Col Dotson said, adding that the gun was also recovered.

The officer, who was not injured, fired 17 shots, Col Dotson said.

In this case, the feral yute pulled a gun on the cop. I suppose the cop was supposed to let the poor aspiring rapper just shoot him.

The FBI and other sources homicide by law enforcement figures below include the majority of all police departments.

The point of this reply is to point out that whites are the most likely to die while being arrested.

The Obama-Holder U.S. Dept. Just Us and the race-grievance industry will of course exploit all shootings to the max vis-a-vis race more than any concern for the poor victim.

The ARD data show that whites are more likely to die while being arrested and IMO there is no doubt that some of those deaths were the intention of the police.

But the main point is I bet that policemen don't care about race compared to protecting themselves from being killed or maimed.

And what about Ms Carey the unarmed, young black woman chased, surrounded and gunned down by federal agents in D.C.? Where's the Obama-Holder U.S. Dept. Just Us and the race-grievance industry caring about her and her baby?

Arrest-Related Deaths, 2003-2009 - Statistical Tables

To me this shows that it is not a racial thing. It happens to all races. These figures however do not show those thought "murdered" by police. I have not yet located data for recent years. Why can't I find data for recent years? I do not know.. maybe the Dept of Just Us and Race-Grievance Industry don't want it known that whites are the most likely to die being arrested.

If the cop was black or the other shooter had been black, no one would care.

But if a white guy kills a black person, watch all hell break loose - even if if the shooting is justifiable.

Honest question: If blacks continue to attack police officers, why should I give a damn if they are killed in the process?

Seems to me blacks are advocates of straight up evil. Their voting record shows it, their daily behavior shows it, their “protesting” (rioting) shows it, the jails show it. Apparently they love lawlessness.

A redneck cop mistook a po’ black kid’s hoagie for a gun.

Greetings WOC:

Thanks for data in support of assertion: "whites are the most likely to die while being arrested."

Given the race-grievance industry's #1 allegation, "racial profiling," this data overwhelmingly refutes their base assertion.

Cheers,
OLA
