Listening to fill-in host for Rush yesterday, the host named several instances where a black cop killed a white over the past years. Very difficult to find those stories online. Anyone know about these and have links or names? Thanks.
FR is a small backwater. It has a small, and loyal membership.
The days where it could influence ANY opinion are long gone. The arguments are thin, the positions are old, and the people are not really “open” to any discussion that disagrees with their established dogma.
All one needs to do is review the predominant views here on things like COVID, the freakin Civil War, and race relations to see that, for the most part, this place is irrelevant.
Lots of good articles are posted. That’s about it.
No “paid” social media person would waste his/her time here.
The most important task in problem solving is to distinguish real problems from imaginary problems.
The problem alleged by the initiation of this thread is not a real problem.
The real problem is that certain elitist groups manipulate the general population of our country with distortions and fabricated threats.
Racial division is one of their most common tactics.
Probably a better tactic would be to point out how many whites were killed by cops period.
Perhaps Vermont but aren’t those who fail to learn from history condemned to repeat their idiocies again and again?
It is good and right to remember that citizens of all colors are sometimes abused and killed by authorities. Not just black people.
Honest question: Do you feel as though you have enough information and a thought process to discern the truth in these situations?
If so, why don’t you think everyone else cannot think through that process?
Get the list.
Review what happened in those situations.
Is your guess that these folks “got away” with their crimes? (I honestly don’t know.). If they were arrested and tried...I am not sure what point you are trying to make.
I believe the counterpoint to you and Rush, is that whites expect the system to work. There have been repeated cases where the system hasn’t worked so well for the black victims in our communities.
That is the difference.
Whites killed by black cops or whites killed by blacks period is a non-issue.. much like the regular flu. Nobody cares.
I just copied a statistic of interest from another site:
2019 - 235 blacks killed by police (some were black officers)
2019 - 7487 blacks killed by black civilians
“this place is irrelevant.”
The comment sounds like a product of deep state manipulation. Their target is American patriots. It’s not true.
The “predominant view” on coronavirus has changed in our country.
Remember in February and March, when you and I argued about it? I was saying coronavirus was a political weapon, and you were arguing against me.
There is a point. Not to ramp up white anger toward black cops, but to point out that there are evil, corrupt and stupid cops of every race and nationality, and their mistakes or violence can target any race.
But the news media choosing to hype up some stories and ignore others can feed the narrative of “institutional white on black racism by cops”. Once again news media serve as the propaganda arm of the groups that want to destabilize our country.
The stories you don’t cover or the details you leave out are as important as the ones you do cover.
YW, but I’m with those who think the issue is the militarization of our police today. They’re trained to serve the state, not the people.
I go with the words on the page.
Words illustrate thoughts, and as such can be assessed for truth value.
I think some get away with it and some don’t.
Since I believe the death penalty is the only just punishment for murder I guess in a sense everyone is getting away with it right now. While some states still execute they don’t seem to execute authorities who murder.
My point is that African Americans don’t hold the patent on being abused. People from all races are abused. Thus we must not divide along melanin content lines.
>>Never is too strong. It happened in Minneapolis, of all places. Cop was convicted of 3rd degree murder and manslaughter, same as Chauvin is charged with. He’s serving a 12.5 year sentence.<<
Sarcasm is sorta lost sometimes here, I suppose...
We are not likely to find any instances of it.
Google deliberately changes
“blacks killed whites”
to
“whites killed blacks”.
When the primary emphasis is race, the effect will always be a distortion of good thinking.
If you think of Americans as being in different “choirs,” then you’ve already fallen for the manipulation of the anti-Americans.
2019 - 7487 blacks killed by black civilians...
--------
The ONLY black lives that matter are those killed by police officers. Beyond that and it's 'let the slaughters continue...'
The reason I come this website is I have great faith in the ability of other Freepers to teach me with their knowledge and insight, so that I will be able to think better than I did before.
The press is very careful to keep democrat lies, half lies and BS front and center so it’ll be hard to find this information.
