Interesting...

In the last 6 months 14 officers have been indicted out of roughly a million. Wonder how many blacks have been killed by other blacks in that same time frame ? In Detroit alone there were 163... one city. That doesn't matter though , it's always someone else's fault.

The difference is one when the cops do it, it's not a crime. Never a crime. You better believe that those 163 killings will be seen as crimes, and the offenders will go to prison for what they did. The same can't be said for when cops shoot someone for holding a skateboard.

The overwhelming majority of cops are nothing but glorified tax collectors in the form of fines and tickets, as was demonstrated when they went on strike in New York.

Majority of cops are good people, majority of thugs are bad.

If the thugs don't like being chased by cops perhaps they should stop breaking the law.

So you you come in contact with the police, for a traffic stop for example, you are automatically a thug? I would say that the majority of people police come in contact with a descent folks and not thugs.

You missed the part that stated 14 cops have been indicted.

If Obama had done all that for black people, white people would have a right to be upset with him.

But basically, this man simply has the wrong concept long before he gets to the last four words.

So you don't see a difference in taxpayer funded killings and mistreatment of a specific skin color, regardless of class, by government employees and street violence in specifically low income areas?

Dig deep in your heart and ask why you feel the need to negate this problem of big government run amok by distracting to a different matter. Why can't you respect this struggle black people have with the people charged with protecting them?

Talk about making it somebody else's fault. Your argument is the definition of it. Let's make these bad cops accountable. Change the culture as needed in police forces, and check that problem off the list.
