An RNC Speaker Said Cops Would Be 'Smart' to Racially Profile Her Own Son

This thread is a cesspool.

Any thread that highlights rightwing racism is bound to attract rightwing racists. Bringing them out into the open is a good thing because they just can't help themselves. They were raised by racists to be racists and it's good to expose them.
 
He was not the person involved in the disturbance but was called to come help and went back to his car to check on his kids. The cops had no reason to detain him much less gun him down at close range from behind.
And he couldn't stop and tell the cops that? Was he the only black man in the world who hasn't been told the cops look for reasons to shoot black man, and goes ahead and givens them one?

Only in KKK world is an unarmed man walking away from a cop considered a capital crime which also deserves summary conviction and execution.
 
How can you be a threat when you're running away?

From your history you're obviously a person of reasonable intelligence. So you know perfectly well why a violent criminal reaching into his car is a threat to police.

Supreme Court was clear. You can't shoot suspects just because they are fleeing. It's a violation of their constitutional rights.

The police can if the suspect inflicted or threatened serious injury against others. Not that the Supreme Court's decree was either wise or relevant to this case.

People like you just don't like the constitution. You believe in a police state where government officers execute citizens on the streets. I guess that's why you support our fascist strongman president.

I don't believe in things that don't exist. I'd prefer a sane government where police defending themselves from a vile criminal scumbag didn't result in a national crisis. But that ship sailed long ago.

Your side will lose.

Of course. The left as it exists today just is the result of political natural selection. It's the ideology most rigorously adapted to gaining power, so it will almost certainly win all political conflicts of any importance.

Not saying they were justified - that decision has to be based on more than a minute of vid. Fact still is IF he had stopped, identified himself and talked to the cops, as most of us would . he wouldn't have got shot.

None of that justifies the cops going immediately to shooting (or kneeing on the necks of) black men. When the default penalty of an unarmed man turning his back on a cop has become summary execution there's something terribly wrong and the fact that you are defending that execution can only be explained by one thing. You hold the life of a black man cheap.

Of course.

Good thing that's NOT the situation despite you lefties impassioned whining.
 
Let's tell it as it is: Everyone (including holier-than-thou liberals) racially profile everyday.

If you see five young men coming down the sidewalk toward you, and each young gentleman is of a different ethnicity, you will -- subconsciously, at the very least -- calculate which one might possibly pose the greatest threat to you -- based on arrest records and news reports and possibly personal experiences.

Whenever I hear that a liquor store clerk has been robbed AND murdered, for example, I immediately suspect the perp comes from one of two certain groups. And I am ALWAYS right.
