Some numbers would be nice. Of course the numbers don't support your contention so you won't produce them. Blacks are way more dangerous to police than police are to blacks. That's what the facts show. But why let the facts get in the way of denial of responsibility.

I was referring to the Baltimore riots, it isn't their thing. Try to stay on topic, there is a good middle aged mom.

Civilians, regardless of race, are way more dangerous to Police than vice- versa.

Yes there are some white protestors, there were also pictures posted on the web of white men looting a store.

Many more pages and once again, not a word about addressing police brutality which means the only question is, where do the next riots start?

In April 2015, there were 96 people killed by police. Of those, 29 were white, 25 were black, 11 were Latino, 1 was Indigenous, and 30 did not have a race or ethnicity listed. Also, 95 of them were male and 1 was female.

I'll go through the list for previous months when I have time.

FBI numbers shows that blacks are 300% plus more likely to kill police than whites. Let's not have false equivalency.

Yes, it has been "in the news" and once the facts have come out in most cases, the situation appears different from what's "in the news." As for this case, I didn't see an intentional killing, wreckless perhaps, but I'll let the facts come out.

As for your claim of common practice, please see the number of black arrests, not to mention black contacts with police, and then figure out the percentage of those that resulted in "murder." Even if you leave in the self defense shootings, the statistics will clearly show that it's far from "common practice."

Oh don't be ridiculous. I've never even looked sideways at a cop, nor them at me.

You excuse one group's bad behavior because another group misbehaves - and one group are the arbitrators of law enforcement! They aren't supposed to act like the criminals. (I suppose I have to make the obvious disclaimer - no not all cops are violent, but there are enough incidents in Baltimore to make it a crisis of confidence). None of this is my opinion.

yeah, that really upsets them to be point of self inflicted bruises....I know the games FinsterRufus....
So, tell it to someone else...who believes you, I don't and won't.
It's not me telling the story. There's plenty of evidence, and many damages have been paid out. By courts of law. I don't need to tell stories.

and I bet you've had problems with the police before...
Careful dear. You're perilously close to a libelous personal attack. I'm a 50 year old white woman. Never had so much as a ticket. Never had a bad interaction, or ANY interaction with the cops, except to wave and nod at wawa. So not only are you comically out of line here, you are just plain dead wrong.

I'm outraged at the black kid selling drugs on some street corner, with his only dream to own a BMW...outraged that some kids dreams are to become star rappers or football players...outraged, that in this day an age, after Martin Luther King, gave up his precious LIFE for you, and this is how you repay him...talk about freedom?
I'm not sure he gave up his life for a 4 year old Australian kid. I am not condoning street behavior, or violence. Or gang banging dealers. Or wife beaters. Kindly point out where I support any of that.

Yes, ever hear of Officer Robert Wilson? Tragic. The community, including mine, came out for him in droves, and were also outraged. Please show me how that makes it okay to break the bones people in custody the way the Baltimore officers have for the last four years.

I possess plenty of common sense. I've enough to know that there ARE two sides to this story, and unless you admit it, this will keep happening, over and over.

Hate to burst YOUR bubble but it's not the students who are paying the big $$ ... it's their parents.

And I hate to burst your bubble again, but it's the liberal universities where socialist and communist ideals thrive.
