I am not a racist and i am with him.

[Abbazorkzog]

They aren't. It's lies like yours that are tearing up America, making teh racial tension ratchet up, getting people killed.

But "LOL!!! I was witty on teh INTERWEBS!!! **** DA POPO!!!!" HAHAH LOL!!!"
/smh

Did you even read Peter King's post?

 

[Peter King]

Black people tend to get pulled over more often because there is more crime in their communities.
There for there are more police present to enforce the law.

Police are not social policy legislators, they exist to enforce the law.

Except that police officers are also human beings, why other are so many black people, even from nice crime limited areas also often pulled over. Like it or not, bias exists, even with police and some officers are a bit more biased than others.

And if it where truly just a matter of more crime in an area, the white people in that area would be pulled over just as often, but people who have studied this subject still say that driving while black is a thing.

 

[Peter King]

Should police officers give special treatment to black drivers by never pulling them over for traffic violations anymore? After all, when an officer does pull over a black motorist for traffic violations, he's usually accused of 'racial profiling'.

No, not after all when a police officer pulls over a black motorist, it is racial profiling. Racial profiling is a reality, you may not like it you may want to ignore the reality of it's existence but nowhere did I say that black people needed special treatment, they deserve equal treatment and evidence suggests that is not the case.

Need evidence of this and not anecdotes.

Umm you do realize that a lot/most/many of these areas are strictly racially defined?

I am with him. Is anyone else with him?

If You Don’t Want Cops To Shoot You, Don’t Resist Arrest

I particularly like the links to the articles concerning dismantling the welfare and social service systems. Funny how this guy lines up exactly with conservative talking points. Its almost like he is a shill... He makes sure to link to conservative think tank studies and reports. Ones that use a gold standard to ascertain which things are bad. Without establishing this Gold Standard. Which would be a Democratically Socialist Country, the opposite of what people like this guy want. They want something that looks more like Russia. Before you say prove it, do a google search yourself of some of Russia's social and economic policy. It is a tea partiers wet dream.

And hey I support dismantling the welfare system. First on the block is medicare and social security, Then comes corporate welfare (Farm Subsidies). I would love to get rid of those three. Then all these entitled old people complaining about entitled poor people can go back to being poor. Then we can see how they like entitlements. But they need that to live, they can work, what because they are old we should support them? But they earned that, bull crap, most beneficiaries on medicare receive a great deal more than they pay in. That is why everyone is worried about its solvency. But we need those... Oh so welfare and entitlements are beneficial? But only when they benefit you and yours. Right?


So lets end all entitlements and welfare. All of it. And see what happens.

And when old people are crying about dying due to lack of housing, income, and medical benefits. We will tell them to pull them up by their boot straps. And when they complain that no one will hire an old person because of ageism, we will tell them ageism doesn't exist anymore they just need to work harder. But old people can't compete in today's job market, well neither can poor people...And when old People start robbing people, and selling drugs we can start putting them in prisons and treating them like a dangerous element of society. We can start a war against our own population to counter the huge demand for now illegal drugs. We won't address the systematic issues or the reason for such a high demand, we will instead waste a lot of money on the problem and blame our opponents for wanting to help them to much.

*note to stupid people the previous example is satire, not a call to systematically destroy old people. It is meant to illustrate a point by comparing old people to poor people.

I am not in agreement with dismantling social programs for elderly or those in true need at all!

The point of the article that reached me was how BLM seems to have forgotten civil rights or looking at all perspectives when a thug reaches for a gun and has lethal forced used against him.

They are anti police and elevating thugs to martyrs while ignoring black lives lost or demonizing law enforcement that risks their life to protect them.

I didn't think anything would cause me to vote for Trump, but Ginsburg having to open her stupid yap made me change my mind.

he has my vote.

the liberals in this country are out of control

 

[Mason66]

Yes, but I am a known misogynist, racist, homophobe, lookist, hate filled older WHITE MAN, so dont expect me to carry much weight.

As long as you are not Jewish. :mrgreen:

I can say that because I am Jewish.

 

[Peter King]

No, he wants the police to stop acting like the ****ing military.

I would want to stop acting like the US is downtown Falluja where every car the pull over is potentially an armed insurgent who does not understand English.

This is the US people, pulling over an unarmed individual should not regularly lead to questionable deaths.

Agreed. The police are supposed to protect the people from domestic threats. The military are supposed to protect the state from foreign threats. When the police and military merge the people have essentially become enemies of the state.

In areas with large numbers of black residents, where black crime outnumbers all others, who are police supposed to pull over?
There's a myth that all races commit crime at the same rates, and blacks are unfairly chosen as scapegoats. It's just not true.

Everyone wants police officers to solve serious crime issues, yet some people also want police officers to not acknowledge what they see and learn from doing their job.

 

[Hawkeye10]

There is some truth to it, but the main thing is that blacks now are trained to be sure that everything bad that happens to them happened because they have the "wrong" skin color, when the truth is that by far the majority problem here is that our Government sucks now....in this case the attention is on the justice system suckage, and OMG, does it ever REEK!

Who was unarmed that got shot?

 

[Peter King]

Who was unarmed that got shot?

Excuse me? Who has been unarmed and shot? Are you trying to be facetious or sarcastic? Been under a rock the past decade or so?

How about Walter Scott?

Or Dylan Noble?

And there are plenty more people who died from police bullets while unarmed.
