Are Republicans in favor of police murdering black people?

[Integrityrespec]

Seems that whenever a black man is killed or the subject of police brutality, conservatives look for his arrest record to justify it.

Just as democrats ignore any factors involved, criminal history, history of violent crime, warrants issued for arrest, resisting arrest and fighting with officers, attempting to take their weapon, or actually using a weapon against police. Boy, how can we think these things contribute to the outcome?

 

[Integrityrespec]

I don’t think so why?

Because until the Blake investigation is complete, people are just making statements that cause problems and don't help a thing. Let the system do its' job.

 

[Integrityrespec]

One thing we know, it sure does not bother the TRumpists.

Not true, but it does appear that black men shooting black men or young men is ok with the democrats.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

The less criminals there are the more peaceful the rest of our lives will be. Funny though how the left and BLM don't give a **** about black lives as most murders of blacks are committed by blacks. And yet you want to change the truth and make people believe that blacks are being killed by the police, not other blacks.

Typical reply often used by racists....holds no water, there is white on white crime just as much as black on black. None of that excuses the fact that cops are killing black Americans for no valid reason and mostly getting off scott free for their murders.

That formulation is false for multiple reasons.

In the first place, being concerned over the shooting of unarmed black men hardly precludes being concerned over violence within the African-American community. Giuliani and others suggest a dichotomy where none exists.

In the second place, they ignore the obvious: When black people commit crimes against black people, they face prosecution, but when police officers (or certain neighborhood watchmen) commit crimes against black people, they face getting off with little if any punishment.

In the third place, what exactly is “black on black” crime?

Do black people kill one another? Sure they do. Ninety percent of black murder victims are killed by black assailants.


But guess what? White people kill one another, too. Eighty-three percent of white victims are killed by white assailants. See, the vast majority of violent crime is committed within — not between — racial groups. Crime is a matter of proximity and opportunity. People victimize their own rather than drive across town to victimize somebody else.

So another term for “black on black” crime is, crime.

But there is crime and there is crime.

Redlining, loan discrimination and predatory mortgages have stripped generations of wealth from the African-American community. What is that if not robbery?

The Republican Party practices policies of voter suppression. That’s the assault and battery of African-American political rights.

obviously it has nothing to do with a shooting by it can offer insight when speculating

LOL, that is a very "interesting" deduction.... lol

I don’t see anything wrong with analyzing, though yea keep an open mind to other facts, which is the big problem and why we hsve rioting more than we would otherwise, people are not willing to wait, and rationally consider context that we might not know.
Anarchists are loving this rush to judgement and protest, it’s great cover.

 

[Integrityrespec]

Running from the police and resisting arrest don't carry the death sentence.

So is your answer, just let them go? When we don't take action against crimes in the criminal code we just cause more to do the same. The idea is that suspects conform to the police commands, when they do not they become a danger and a threat. The democrats seem to think this behavior is perfectly ok.

LOL, you used an opinion piece as fact, pitiful.

I could easily post FBI statistics showing how wrong you are, but you folks with TDS refuse to believe facts, so a waste of my time.

Nobody is hollering about police arresting white men, nor are people burning down towns and looting stores over white men being shot. Your belief that cops are killing black Americans for no reason carries little weight since a crime is in progress when they resist arrest, fight with officers, or use a weapon against a cop.

 

[Bullseye]

I haven't seen them post much saying they are in favor of it. But I also haven't seem them post pretty much at all about the largest mass movement in US history wanting to reduce it. I haven't seen a bit of praise for the 99% of peaceful protesters. No compliments for their acting as good citizens, exercising their right to protest for better government. Either silence or smears falsely claiming they're the same at the 1% committing violence, often using the protests as cover. Almost no discussion of their cause, of the wrongs they are protesting; only looking for anything they can to criticize and attack. So if all they have to say about the protests of wrong police violence are attacks, they're fighting to defend wrong police violence.

First off, around ten unarmed black people were killed by the cops last year; not good, but not an existential crisis either. Second, when I see protesters take some form of actual to separate themselves from the rioters I well praise and support them profusely.

White aren’t profiled in the same manner as POC. White people face zero racism in our justice system.

It’s local LE’s job to protect protestors from rioters same as anyone else.

They still have to disavow the violence.

 

[Nickyjo]

No, although there always is a criminal record.

Non-criminals Don’t fight the Police.

Don’t fight the COPs , you won’t get tased or shot. It really is that simple.
Name a black man shot by Police, that is not fighting or running from Police.

Hopelessly naive comment. I was accosted by three cops with guns drawn who didn’t ID themselves. I nearly ran for it, towards uniformed cops for protection. Observe the real world.

It seems the two main sides in this thread are: 1- cops representing the majority of officers attitudes are deliberately shooting unarmed black people; 2- anyone who objects to this is a violent Marxist terrorist. Do I have that right? Are those the corners we want to retreat to.

 

[Aunt Antifa]

They still have to disavow the violence.

No they don’t. They don’t have to do a single thing other than protest.

1A doesn’t mean they must say certain words to be eligible for police protection of the exercising of that right.

It’s the socialist /communist/democrats that want to defund police departments, so no, COPs owe NOTHING to the democrats.

I enjoy watching the democrat cities burn, their voters getting what they asked for.

Their feelings aren’t important. I have called any number of cops pig to their faces. If I call 911, bitch better have my money.

 

[Aberro]

You would never call 911, if you did, you would be a huge hypocrite, or do you acknowledge that up front?

Also, I look forward to when you call 911, and get a busy signal.

FYI, calling a cop a pig in nothing to be proud of, just proving your low IQ.

 

[Bullseye]

No they don’t. They don’t have to do a single thing other than protest.

No, but 1A and associated laws do not protect enticements to violence.

 

[Aunt Antifa]

No, but 1A and associated laws do not protect enticements to violence.

And? Who said anything about allowing protestors to commit violence? My point is that people protesting are entitled to the same protections that any other citizen in the area is entitled to.

That wouldn’t make me a hypocrite at all. That’s like suggesting your employer has no right to criticize your work and still expect you to perform the functions of your job.

 

[Aberro]

Try calling your employer a pig to their face, see what happens. Insults do not equal criticism.

 

[Aunt Antifa]

Also: Even if it did make me a hypocrite, so what? My personal hypocrisy should play no role in the performance of a public servant.
