That’s comforting,
Crazy don’t goaway!
Cops: Shoot first and forget about asking questions later...
Dead is dead and all dead leave loved ones behind. But the bottom line is we’re being programmed to automatically think it’s a black perp when a cop is shot. If it’s a black that is shot by a cop we know it right up front because that’s the way it’s reported.
And we’re programmed to automatically think it’s blacks killing blacks in Chicago. Because it usually is.
“But the bottom line is we’re being programmed to automatically think it’s a black perp when a cop is shot.”
I don’t think intelligent people can be “programmed” however, there are people that prefer to construct a narrative in their head, and often time that narrative does not fit actual events.
The danger of that narrative or as you called it programming, is that police officers cannot hold that bias as at any moment they can be killed and it makes no difference if the shooter is black or white, a cop is dead.
IT’s the media’s fault. They make the reader assume the perp is black by typically not reporting race unless it’s a white perp.
There are also way too many who automatically assume the black is guilty. There are also way too many who automatically assume the cop is guilty. We must wait on the facts but facts are hard to come by anymore.
If Obama had a gun...
“the media’s fault. They make the reader assume the perp is black by typically not reporting race unless it’s a white perp.”
The reader is responsible for their own assumptions.
As for that narrative, I think when we first hear of a mass-shooting, most people make an assumption regarding the race of the perp.
Dallas, Charleston, Sandy Hook and Aurora were pretty easy to figure out before the perp’s identity was released. Today’s shooting in Michigan was a little more difficult to figure out.
BS, the members allow the leaders to donate money to democrats. All the time you hear police say we need giun control.
AMEN.
Enough with all these false phobias.
The real and dangerous one that afflicts the PC crowd is Virtuephobia; isn’t it time to start hearing more about that phobia?
That’s my association with the city name. I miss Heathkits.
Of course he was black. If he were white, the story would be headline news all over the country.
For Soros Clinton better win or Putins assassins will always know exactly where he and his family is. Yeah he’s motivated
And RadioShack® kits; too!
Technology has RACED past us old coots. Where there used to be actual components you could touch and solder; now the electronic things cannot be repaired cheaper than buying a new widget or gizmo.
Any pics and name of the killer, yet?
The President cannot CONSTITUTIONALLY institute/initiate Martial Law. It is illegal according to the founding documents.
Since when has the Constitution meant anything to him besides toilet paper?
It only means something to him when it benefits him.
Let him try to institute martial law. You’ll see the second revolution pretty darn quick.
Would not be the first time a male LEO as disarmed, as well.
As conservatives I was under the impression that our emphasis was on the individual and not their affiliation. I think we do ourselves a disservice when we practice what the left does and pigeon hole people based on their physical characteristics.
