- And you're absolutely correct! It would be much better if racist cops could control their hate-filled emotions and not continue their overtly aggressive abuse of members of certain minority groups.

Professional LE officers are supposed to behave in a cerebral fashion. The ability to act appropriately in response to environmental stimuli is highly regarded. The many hours invested into each officer is supposed to prepare each officer to respond almost instinctively to potential threats. Officers are also supposed to be trained how to differentiate a threat from a nonthreatening situation.

For centuries, African-Americans have had to suffer the loss of mostly male members of their families, due to racism in one form or another. When the loss is executed by law enforcement, it signals a sustained and relentless systemic problem. A problem that cuts deep into the fibrous core of the African-American soul...

For centuries African-Americans have been killing each other. It's not racism that been doing it. They do it to each other.

For centuries, racist and overtly aggressive scumbags have unfairly targeted members of minority communities. That especially goes for the African-American community. These wayward rogue c cops give law enforcement a bad name and erode civilian confidence of LE in general. We need to do a much better job vetting police and LE officers in general. Once we've done that, I can assure you, race riots initiated by blacks will be a thing of the past.

Watch the Rodney King beating on youtube, then ask yourself, "How in the world could those cops ever be acquitted?"...

It wasn't the beating that caused the riots, iy was the lack of judicial balance and absence of justice that caused the riots.

That decision to acquit brought out the very worse in just about everyone in the black community.

They were all justifiably outraged and furious!
They had better lawyers unfortunately, like OJ did.
Rodney King was a POS, but he deserved better treatment, but he did resist arrest too, while high on some heavy stuff, which most people know can make people very difficult to handle.

So this is your response to overtly aggressive policing! Really? Seriously?

BTW

Europeans have been warring against one another for centuries, as well. It's not racism, they too, do it to themselves, but that's completely irrelevant to the point here...

Actually, whites generally kill whites and blacks generally kill blacks in this country, statistically speaking...

Just watch the Beating of Rodney King, youtube video. If you're conscious, the abuse is blatantly obvious....

I did not beat him, nor I have any control of the police. They shoot whites also and walk clean, like the case in the motel in AZ
Black males responsible for about 50% of the violent crimes while being 12% of the population. They are dangerous and I can understand why the police is tough on them. Stop behave like wild animals and the police attitude toward them will improve.

Why do people need guns?

According to a New York Democrat Representative -
We need guns to go after the President of the United States.

Congressman suggests Second Amendment as means of opposing Trump |New York Post

A Democratic congressman from Long Island implied that Americans should grab weapons and oppose President Trump by force, if the commander-in-chief doesn’t follow the Constitution.

Rep. Tom Suozzi made the remark to constituents at a town hall last week, saying that folks opposed to Trump might resort to the “Second Amendment.”

“It’s really a matter of putting public pressure on the president,” Suozzi said in a newly released video of the March 12 talk in Huntington. “This is where the Second Amendment comes in, quite frankly, because you know, what if the president was to ignore the courts? What would you do? What would we do?”


Oddly enough - Rep Suozzi was asked "what is the 2nd Amendment????"
The left-leaning Democrat says, “The Second Amendment is the right to bear arms.”

“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms,” the quote said.

Suozzi’s comment seems to conflict with his recent push for gun control following the Parkland, Florida, school shooting.


It's like we have gone into the Twilight Zone -- Leftist Democrat promoting the 2nd Amendment to suggest that their supporters "take up Arms" against the President of the United States

~~~~~meanwhile, back inside the Beltway~~~~~~~

Suozzi is Marching with the Kiddies to take away those Evil Guns.
You couldn't make this stuff up if you spent a month working on it.

Standard conservative word mongering. If we were armed to the teeth all of our problems would be solved.
