Any other example in the 4 years since. Yes, i think the guy was resisting arrest, and yes I agree with the union, dont think that does qualify as a chokehold
What's wrong with using real numbers? We have them, so statistics aren't necessary. In whole numbers most of the poor in the US are white people. And most of the people shot by cops in the US are white men. Those are cold hard facts. Dressing them up with statistics doesn't accomplish much. Particularly when the data is then cherry-picked to fit a narrative, something the media seems to LOVE doing. As far as outrage, we don't see that much from white Americans. Partly because most of them have no sympathy for crooks who get shot fighting with the cops. And that's nothing new. I personally avoid cops in every way possible. Every encounter I have with them ends up costing me money, time and hours of frustration. I had to listen to one arrogant oinker who berated me for not locking my car when it was parked in front of my house. When I pointed out that my GPS was stolen without any broken windows while my neighbor's cell phone was stolen after the thief broke a window to get at it. The look on his face was obvious, his power trip was short circuited. If it had been a roadside encounter I'd have expected to hear him say something like "you trying to get smart with me boy". But then, I do live in Georgia.
What is the one thing that is creating such a breakdown in all the areas you mentioned and more? We are all different. No bodies the same, that would be unnatural. I think that the world has never been in such a dire circumstances, and that creates fear, now you either fight or run. We can't run from the demiss of civilization, but we can fight. We want to fight. So picking anything that is different is Ok with me, but doing it without anger is virtually impossible. We go around stinging people because of the nasty mood we're in. It's a grieving process. The first is denial (that our world is falling apart), then anger. We are losing a lot more than a husbands death, we're talking about the whole human race. Wait till the "Extinction Rebellion" has it's world wide demonstrations all over the world, in April. Global Warming is going to effect a large part of the population in 2019. Watch us start not being prejudice the more people really come face to face with a danger that transcends that childish prejudice each of us have because of our conditioning.
You'll be called a racist for posting this. You live in GA. You're white and you're not allowed to make observations like this. No matter how true they might sound.
I’ve noticed that as well their entire existence is centered around race. Whenever anything happens in the news they immediately begin to critique the events, starting with the color or ethnicity of the people involved. For instance If a white girl is arrested with a black man she’s immediately labeled a mud shark, snow-bunny, night-rider, or is considered less than human because she’s black owned. If it’s a white collar crime the criminal must be a Jew or have physical characteristics of a Jew.
Did you seriously say "statistics aren't necessary"? Statistics are how facts are calculated. The random numbers you mention are not conclusive facts because they don't take in to account the statistics. I've heard of laziness before, but this is a whole new level. Yeah cops suck. I avoid them too. The largest outrage in the section of the country I live in surrounding police murder was when a cop tazed a mentally ill white person to death.
Wouldn't facts be facts and statistics be opinions? If a statistic isn't 100% then it's not a fact, and statistics only exist because said topic isn't 100%.
I'm not speaking of random numbers, I'm speaking of whole numbers. And since we have actual whole numbers, we don't need statistical analysis to project what the numbers MIGHT be. In this case, statistics aren't necessary.
The cop choked Eric Garner to death by wrapping his arm around is neck and squeezing. Eric was able to muster out "I can't breath" 11 times before succumbing to his murderer. Feel free to call that whatever you want. No. That's half a fact. 72% of americans are white. Add those two equations together and then you have a fact. Hence why you have the creation of per capita.
There are arseholes out there who will do anything to resist arrest. Even if that's the case they are in the wrong. People who resist arrest don't let the police do their job and that can cause injuries all because they have hindered police by not doing what the cops have asked
You are misrepresenting statistics. About 13% of the American population is black. Much more are white. White people get more of anything. Look at the 13% and within that look at how common arrests and wrongful death are. Proportionally this 13% is more likely to be killed by police. Some will say like I do that this is racism. Others that they commit all the crime which in its own way racist to assume. I mean how many mass shooters are black? Our own FBI ( a police force) is much more concerned with white Trump voters than any black gang. Let's say white people are 70% of America with black we have 83% so 17% Asian or other to have 100%. Just rough ball parks. Of course 70% of a population is killed more often since they are a majority.
What if the arrest is not valid? Who decides that? Who polices the police? The Second Amendment of America means people resist when they decide they should. How people interpret that is up to them. It's just amusing to me to hear all the white racists say things like you have said while they clean a gun at the militia meeting and not see the irony. Not to say you are racist. I just see a double standard since many Americans own a gun with plans to kill goverment officials (like cops) when they decide the time is right. When white people resist it's noble. When other races do it makes them criminals. These white people in general hate the govement and think it's out to get them. Only when the goverment kills a black man do they have the attitude of submission.
If you choose to resist arrest you are in trouble with the law. Anyone who does this gets into trouble. Doesn't matter what nationality they are. The courts decide it.
