A Man has his neck snapped — and your reaction is to post a racist cartoon?

[Conscience of a Conservative]

Don't you understand? He deserved to have his neck snapped, and deserved to have medical treatment withheld. He was a thug. He shouldn't have run away from the cops. The cops had to snap his neck, so they could get home safely to their families that night. Or something.

I looked back to re-view the cartoon. I didn't even see the little stick figures before, racist. Who are the racists? The one(s) who post that cartoon or believe that or the blacks who destroy their own nest??
I am highly incensed about the young man who got his neck snapped and six cops are taking a paid vacation because of their egregiously criminal actions. BUT that doesn't make the cartoon less than true.

This is what he should have posted instead:

People in this country may ask: "Is there an epidemic of racial violence in this country?"

The answer to this question may be found in Bill Whittle's excellent video: VIDEO: Bill Whittle: Ferguson and the Real Race War

In summary, here are the raw statistics for general violent crime Black-on-White and White-on-Black crime from the National Crime Victimization Survey (the branch of the DOJ responsible for collecting these statistics) here are the raw results for 2010:

Here is the RAW disparity between Black-on-White and White-on-Black general violent crime:

But this raw data is misleading, due to disparity in the sizes of the population. Here are the numbers that show the population totals for black and white populations in 2010:

If you normalize the statistics to take into account the relative sizes of the populations, Here are the numbers that reflect the real magnitude of Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime:

Furthermore, if you narrow the statistics shown above on violent assault (GENERAL VIOLENT ASSAULT) to a specific type of violent assault (IN THE CASE BELOW, VIOLENT AGGRAVATED ASSAULT) , the statistics that Black-on-White versus White-on-Black VIOLENT ASSAULT crime take on an entirely different magnitude:

When one looks at these statistics, one can only reach the same conclusion that Bill Whittle did in his video:
"Oh, there's an epidemic of racial violence in America, all right."

Bill Whittle further accurately states:
"Critics will say that I am using these statistics to justify the murder of Michael Brown. But I said at the beginning – if Michael Brown were shot in cold blood then the police officer needs to pay the price for murder. This has nothing to do with Michael Brown. This has EVERYTHING to do with the narrative that the President, the Attorney General, and all of these race hustlers are trying to create using Michael Brown.

There is, in fact, a racial war of violence and hatred in America. Open racism is simply not tolerated in white America today, but black racism is the toxic glue that holds the progressive coalition together. Tolerance of – in fact, as we see from the events in Ferguson, open encouragement of black rage at a narrative that not only does not exist but reverses the daily outrages that do exist, is what defines modern progressivism. It is the politics of envy, anger, entitlement, lawlessness, violence and bald-faced lies.

And of all the promises broken by this man, surely none is more heartbreaking than the one promise that got him elected in the first place: the promise of a post-racial future. He and his racist progressive cohorts can never surrender the weapon that has gotten them everything, not the least of which is personal political power and trillions of dollars of redistributed wealth. And this latest outrage in Furguson is yet another example – as if another was needed among the economic wreckage, creeping totalitarianism, and foreign-policy disasters -- that he and his leftist cohorts would rather rule over ruins than disappear into the dustbin of a healthy and healed nation."

Facts aren’t “racist.”

A Man has his neck snapped — and your reaction is to post a racist cartoon?

If, as it seems to appear so far, the victim's death was a serious travesty, then justice is required.

While I agree with your comment, I must admit an observation occurs to me. I don't believe my observation is racist, yet I imagine it would be considered so.

One is given to wonder why white people aren't rioting and retaliating against blacks when a white person is crippled or murdered by a black knockout attack, which is 100% racially inspired, everyone knows it to be so and it probably happens more frequently than white police killing a black man.

It appears that there have been a number of prior incidents where people get put in the back of a police van, handcuffed but not seat belted in, and subjected to a "rough ride". Several were paralyzed or sustained neck injuries as a result.

Baltimore police appear to like administering extra-judicial punishments. They need to get fired. Not put on "administrative leave", but FIRED and prosecuted.

“A Man has his neck snapped....”

I would like to see the autopsy report on this. I’ve watched several videos of this. Initial reports said that three neck vertebrae had been broken. If that is true, then either the cops did something much worse than just holding him down, or the guy had some kind of serious osteoporosis.
