Yeah dude, I'm on the website now. I'm five shootings in...so you're either stupid or a liar.


How many black men have been killed by cops from traffic stops this year? Obviously we're not counting the ones that recently happened since you're not counting the recent LE shootings.


Keep going.

So far this year not including what has happened in the last day or 2 there has been only 2 cops shot and killed during a traffic stop out of the 1 million LE in the states and territories.

Unfortunately for police, this has been a long time coming and there will be people taking out their frustrations on them. (hopefully not us too). Just hope that all calms down quickly.
Please look at correct stats...

There is a policeman dying just about every day in the US as a direct result of a badge...

Officers being killed due to hostile gunfire is up 31 percent this year

21 to date due to shooting

53 total

9 to other assaults

The rest due to mva


To another poster....

The war on drugs..laughable... so dirtbags can be lowlifes and be stoned and or make blood money off the ills of others... we don't jail drug offenders anymore..haven't you heard?... it's a sickness not a crime...of course that narrative sounds good but doesn't work in reality without substantial infrastructure and investment

No, you did not. You just got called out on it.

I'm not seeing where the officer "stupidly" stepped out in front of a vehicle during a traffic stop, either.

Keep reading.
My point is that all you hear from the cops is how dangerous traffic stops are and how many cops are killed. This is the reasoning behind their quickness in shooting people during trafic stops. The reality if far from that. It is quite rare. In general, a cop is more likely to crash his car and die or someone hitting him on the freeway than being shot by someone.

Im all for police safety. But not in exchange for my own.

A perfect example is the traffic cops being hit on the freeway. Still, all the time I see them standing out in traffic. The state solution to this is to pass a law making people change lanes when they pass cops instead of directing the traffic stop to a clear area or completely off the freeway. This has caused lots of accidents and deaths of motorists.

My point is that all you hear from the black people is how dangerous law enforcement are and how many blacks are killed. This is the reasoning behind their quickness to loot, protest, and in turn murder more cops. The reality if far from that. It is quite rare. In general, a black person is more likely to crash his car and die or someone hitting him on the freeway than being shot by a cop.


Yep, sounds about right.

It's not the solution, that is if it's related to current events.
People are getting fed up....... They are slowly waking and realising how bad things are!!
