America is on the verge of anarchy. Every time police kill a Black man, the community finds itself on the edge and the nation wonders if an inferno is about to erupt. This reality dovetailed with a meme I saw a few days ago: “The Biggest Change Since Rodney King is the Video Quality.” While video quality has improved, one thing that hasn’t changed is negative outcomes from resisting arrest. Some of the names Americans know that demonstrate this include George Floyd, Daunte Wright, Rayshard Brooks, and Michael Brown. If the media were being honest, they would characterize these encounters as what they were: Black men killed while resisting arrest.
In every one of these cases and many others, the men who ended up dead resisted arrest, sometimes violently. According to the Police Violence Report, U.S. police killed 268 Black men in 2019 (the last normal year before COVID). Of that number, 212 or 79% were armed (allegedly) while 182 or 68% were attacking the police (allegedly). Of the 32% who were not actively attacking the police, most were carrying on other actions such as resisting arrest, holding weapons they wouldn’t drop, or attacking other people. For comparison, during that same year, the numbers for white males was 415 killed with 306 or 68% armed and 281 or 68% attacking the police. An interesting note about that comparison is the percentage of Black males killed who were “unarmed” (21%) is significantly lower than that for white males (32%).
It’s difficult to get a complete picture of what’s going on in America simply by looking at numbers. Luckily, we also have videos, including several showing George Floyd’s death.

More law enforcement officers will die, because they will take that split second to think before pulling the trigger. Life and death hang on literal milliseconds.

“resisting arrest”
Apparently the rioting mobs feel that violent criminals should be able to resist arrest and get away with it if the criminal is black. And if the black criminal does not want to be placed under arrest and is not allowed to flee, then the angry mob has the right to riot, burn, and create every sort of mayhem, with looting opportunities aplenty.
One might logically conclude that such people are not civilized.
Face it. America no longer has a reasonable consensus of shared values to unite it. Does any reasonable, decent person wish to seek out, socialize, break bread with people who are drug users, hedonistic, lawless and prone to violence? Nor do they wish to associate with people who cloak themselves in phoney virtues but at their core are rotten.
if you give a mob a cookie, they will bust your windows for a glass of milk.
If you give a mob the milk, they will burn your business for some ice cream.
hmmm. if you give the mob the ice cream, they will bash your head in for some nikes.
its all about unleashing the mob upon all the rest of us

More LEO’s will resign or retire early.
We have raised an army of ferals who hate whites. They continue their bad behavior with impunity.
I cannot blame a single officer who leaves his job early.
Whenever I start to post about abortion and black children I have to remember that because of serial-aborters (murderers) even if abortion had been illegal all this time that doesn’t mean there would be twice as many black children as there are now — wicked evil harridans can murder more babies than they can give birth to because they don’t have to wait 9 months or subsequently take care of a child.
The most dangerous place for a black child to be is in the womb.
Children are a blessing from the Lord.
Whose “blessing” is abortion?
The violence, depredations and hardship many in America do and will face is because of judgment over abortion when protection is removed from us ... shall a bloody nation not receive back blood from the Lord?
such people are not civilized
————and i will stipulate that your statement is not racist, because it is fact.
My opinion is that long after these stories are gone from public discussion these two will still be spending eternity in one of two places. The real tragedy is that no one seems to care about that when talking about them.
I will go further given that the whole thrust of Woke is the Cultural Marxist goal of tearing down civilization.
The Woke rioters an looters are not just uncivilized, they are anti-civilized.
They exist in a delusion of magical thinking where once they’ve torn down what is that somehow a just and brave new world will suddenly appear.
I don’t know if you’ve ever come across, or even just recently seen, Sayet’s “How Liberals Think” but I recommend it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaE98w1KZ-c
Two solutions: (1) Only black officers should deal with black perps, and (2) white officers should not engage with a black under ANY circumstance. If there is a crime and the perp is black, call a black officer. Too bad if the perp gets away or does more damage while waiting for the black officer to get there.
In fact, just to be particularly snarky, how about this: only black people can become cops at any level any more in this country.
I agree.
More black thugs will die also. Because they know that cops are afraid to enforce the law and so they will continue to push the boundaries.
As they do so, more crimes occur and more cops will shoot blacks.
The Chauvin verdict yesterday? Means more blacks will feel bold enough to resist. And more will be shot.
And you’re hitting on the cyclical “snake eating its tail” into which we’re devolving.
