Hey, concerned citizens! Police in this country are out of control! Let's stop deflecting the issue.
Oh the issue is not being deflected. It's blown up all over social media and has become a political issue. Of course some so called "conservatives" would like for people to be silent on the matter, but that isn't happening.

Do you think there is a problem with police brutality? Do not flip that around. Cause I already know the next rhetorical question that your going to type. The main problem is that there are people who will and will never admit there was ever a problem in the first place.

Let's take this situation out of it. It has happened, but let's just say for the sake of argument that this shooting never happened.

Will you admit there has been a problem with Police Brutality? If the answer is no. Then we as a people will never solve this problem. If your answer is, "well black people should stop doing xyz", then ok well why do white people commit suicide at greater percentages than any other race except Native Americans? Is it because white people hate themselves? Why do White people value their own lives less than other races? Why do white people have such low self esteem? That is basically the equivalent of what some people are doing here. I personally hate that analogy, but asking questions that never get to a real answer just deflects from the real issue at hand.

If I asked that terrible question about white people I just posed, I could just keep digging in and digging in. Yet, I would at least try to listen to you why white people commit more suicides than any other race besides native Americans in the USA. I wouldn't just keep saying, "because they lack self esteem" and "They Hate themselves" that gets us nowhere. There is obviously an underlying issue going on.

Ahhhhhhh....Good ol' USA. Were we have already made our conclusions and we never listen.

If you can't get why your arguments are not helpful and my analogy is not helpful. Then we are F****** as a country.
We are not ****ed as a country, regardless of what someone else says. You don't have to try to please every single person to bring about change. A lot of people did not like women getting the right vote at the time, but it happened. A lot of people didn't like the civil rights acts when they happened, but big deal.

Currently, you have a segment of the population that prides itself in being extra dumb and only following Fox News. But you cannot let that hold you back.

What does that have to do with him getting beaten to a pulp by multiple cops at the same time?

Rodney King was some bowwl-ish. I was at the 7/11 he was at, a few hours before he died. Po-po were retracing his events for the day

Or the fad of idiots protesting in the name of said thugs ?
The fad of posting videos online and then jumping to conclusions and running out in the street to "protest" without knowing the facts.
