    God forbid one may be black and go against the mob majority, especially when you say a bunch of stuff that makes total sense:


    Indigenous academic Anthony Dillon cops barrage of abuse for opposing Black Lives Matter rallies in Australia

    "“I’m not saying that it’s good for Aboriginal people to be in custody,” Dr Dillon said.

    “Up around 30 per cent of jail populations being Indigenous is a tragic thing. I think we all agree on that. But the real injustice in my view is the unresolved disadvantage in communities – the things that gets them in trouble in the first place.”

    Preventable disease, infant mortality, lower life expectancy, domestic violence, child abuse, unemployment and poor school attendance are all issues that deserve urgent focus and community anger, Dr Dillon said.

    “Instead, people are marching in the streets and don’t really know why."

    I think we're all in agreement that violence is not the answer. Sadly enough sometimes it's the only thing that can bring attention to the issue.

    It's my hope the officer did not die in vain and some good comes out of it. What more can you say when confronted with what appears to be
    a senseless death.

    .....not blame the entire race the shooter belongs to

    The marches have been multi-cultural, and multi-racial which I support wholeheartedly, but if you're suggesting that I should suddenly forget 400 years of continuous
    violence, murder, and oppression towards blacks here in america, you're sadly mistaken.

    I agree we should treat everyone as individuals, and that's how I treat people, but I can't ignore the past, present, and sadly the future, unless changes are made and soon.

    Huh? Is that gorilla "logic" coming through. Surely you don't think something so farfetched has any even slight resemblance to anything I said. That's why you are a foreign troll. It's impossible to have a meaningful dialogue with somebody who deliberately distorts beyond recognition what other posters are saying. Let me spell it out, for what--the third or fourth time?: Senators and representatives from Southern states were mostly conservative and resisted civil rights for blacks then. Senators and representatives from southern states are mostly conservative and tend to resist protecting civil rights for blacks now. Then the Senators and Representatives were Democrats (the "Solid" South); now they are Republican (the "Red States). How did this happen? Why did it happen? Because the national Democrats embraced civil rights and the Southern politicians didn't like that and switched parties. Did I spell it out sufficiently to get it through your simian skull? If you doubt that, read some history books and show me one that disagrees.

    No man, it was your premise, your logic, your attempt to rewrite history in the first place.

    "The final vote in the House of Representatives was 290–130 with 138–34 (80%) in the House Republican Conference and 152–96 (61%) in the House Democratic Caucus with 11 members voting present or abstaining,[5] while in the Senate the final vote was 73–27 with 27–6 (82%) in the Senate Republican Conference and 46–21 (69%) in the Senate Democratic Caucus.[6]"

    Well I can't say I served but I have heard some stories from my brown friend. The N word is common in the barracks. Things are n word rigged, that person is acting like a N word, don't be a N word etc.

    And they seemed to have some issue with HIM of all people being their commandeering officer.

    So yeah in some cases I think they are. But as we see now not everyone.

    It represents the same issue WHEREVER it flies. And don't say you don't know what that issue is.

    It is way over due for total reform of the police and justice system. If you make the laws or enforce the law you should get double the punishment for breaking those laws.
