For every 1 black male shot by police, which most of them are unquestionably warranted, there are probably 1,000 black males shot by another black male for a completely senseless reason. It be one thing if urban black youth were shooting each other for food and shelter, but it is mostly gang related.
Black Lives Matter
Looks like he was getting George Zimmerman'd and came up popping caps at a bunch of Treyvon's getting busy....
Not in Japan. Their cities are incredibly safe. I've been there and you can walk around at 2 am without worrying about your safety
Also, black people are more violent. The crime statistics prove it.
Your wrong even in Japan the cities are more dangerous than the rural areas. The most dangerous place in Japan is Osaka which has a murder rate that is routinely two times the national average. In fact Osaka has twice the murder rate of London, guess which one has more black people?

So Osaka has 2 murders in a metro of 35M people? And no doubt those are domestic related. It's extremely safe compared to any city in the USA.
You would never ever see an unruly crowd like that in Japan with the subsequent shootings that went with it.
The U.S. as a whole doesn't have a violent culture. Are hillbillies out in the backwoods of Mississippi violent? What about families living in the suburbs?
No, it is a certain subset of the population that lives in the inner cities that is so violent.
This is exactly it. These people are the ones commiting the majority of our violence.
Throw in a few mentally unstable individuals that can't cope with rejection in their relationships or in the workplace.
Throw in even fewer people that are just sick, like a rabid dog. That for some reason like to take as many lives as possible.
And that is the break up of our violence in this country.
No the city of Osaka had 56 murders for 2,600,000 people (2012) giving it a murder rate of 2.1 per 100,000 people.
That higher than London's 89 for 8,600,000 people which is a rate of 1.1 per 100,000 (2012).
These areas may not have a high crime rate as cities, but there certainly is rampant drug use, addicts of all kinds, and drug dealers. Yes there is. Also, the War on Drugs does not target these areas as much as cities.
"Violent culture" also depends...gangs, vigilante justice, mobs, also count as "violent." The United States certainly does have a history of violence.
It's already well known, globally, that urban areas have more crime.
Yes, gangs, drugs and poverty are all reasons for the violence...but , here it is Tuesday and so far this week in Detroit a 17 year old was shot because he was winning a game, a 15 year old was shot because some car drove by the vehicle her mother was driving and opened fire on the car, a woman was shot because she broke up with her boyfriend., two brothers shot each other, no reason given, neither is talking, a guy was shot standing on his porch, victim of a drive by...they had the wrong house.
So, i guess i'm not seeing a whole lot of people being shot for money because they need it to survive or need drugs. Some of it could be gang related, but i wouldn't think a mom and her 15 year old would be part of that. Who knows, it just seems like we have people that know no other way to deal with conflict other then thru violence.
hire more cops and swat teams and go in and clean house. m b has the money before m b dosnt have the money.
