Just quoting stats to make a case is silly, although most are justified many are not and they are not being held accountable. How many cops were convicted of murder in the last several years?

Awesome that you can bring up the cases in dispute. You know why? Because they are so god dam rare that everyone knows the cases individually. The SC shooting the cop was arrested for murder. The Cleveland shooting certainly there are disputable facts in that case. The kid in Chicago was armed with a knife, refused orders and wasn't some innocent citizen. However even in that case the cop was arrested. Maybe we can take away the constitutional rights of cops in society. So if you demand that they get locked up they don't have the ability to go through the legal system! No judges. No juries!

So you're denying entire departments covering up crimes? How do you think police culture became toxic for whistleblowers?

Yep, the whole Black Lives Matter crap is based on a lie....blacks kill than whites and yet more whites are killed by police than are blacks....BLM is backwards BS meant to motivate politically and is a lie at its heart.

When white people are unjustly shot by police officers and subsequently the police officers face no repercussions there will (and have been) be protests. This is about a lack of justice.

It's a fake site.


Not saying it hasn't happen but they can't breakdown what states these "white people" were killed in.

If white people feel the shootings are unjustified, then they have the same right as black people who speak up and protest when they think the shooting is unjustified and/or excessive use of force or being targeted for being black.
No one stopped white people from speaking up when white people are shot and killed by the police and they think it to be unjustified and/or excessive use of force or being targeted for being poor and white.

That point has nothing to do with being Liberal or Conservative.... It's about Justice and the Police System.

Cute story if it were true. Too bad it's an attempt at deceit. But when blacks are shot, no matter how justified, how violent or how much of a threat they were to the public-the racist hate groups still come out to support the violent criminal and attack those that put their lives on the line to protect the public. If the focus were on the incredibly rare instances when an actual innocent person were shot-yes, there would be some justification. But so many of the "poster children" of the racist hate groups have been particularly violent criminals shot while attacking police officers.

Are we supposed to presume that "retired cop" has no bias?
