The real narrative pushed by the MSM, the DNC and popular culture is, all cops are bad cops, all blacks, including those who are criminals who resist arrest, are victims. It is in the interest of the democrats and their far left allies to maintain this narrative, because it is the only chance they have of defeating Trump in November. You can deny all you want, but that is the established narrative.
And before you start on FOX, I don't watch any television news and have not for years.
I wouldn't know that because I don't watch TV either. I can't take your word for that. If you want to link up someone saying that I'll look. It's OK tho because I'm going to run a search myself and see if your being truthful.
The elephant in the room is the reputation they have brought upon themselves. That’s why we’ve gotten to where we are with the police.
None of these people shot (with possibly the exception of Breonna Taylor who was caught up with questionable people) were upstanding citizens. It doesn’t make their deaths acceptable, don’t get me wrong. But they were not upstanding citizens to begin with.
I do think police are often acting excessively AND I think there is a reason police have gotten to this point.
Here's an example of a person more innocent than Breanna Taylor who was brutally beaten by cops just for taking a walk in an upper class White neighborhood: a docile grandfather visiting his son in Alabama from India mistaken for Black: neighbors called the cops and they beat up to the point of paralysis: even worse than Jacob Blake. He'll never walk again. Yet, we Indians didn't even protest: let alone riot.

If it doesn't make their deaths acceptable then why bring it up? Isn't that the point to the slutty/nutty defense is to dehumanize the victim without having the stones to come out and say it?

They don't have too. If police are held accountable for actions like this it will affect all these situations and not just for black people. I would like to see BLM protest every incident instead of just the ones against black people. I'm not in charge of anything tho and rightly so.

There’s a difference between blaming someone and teaching personal responsibility. You can believe I am teaching my daughter things like don’t walk alone in dangerous places especially after dark, don’t get drunk to the point you pass out, stay in groups. These are things mothers have passed down to daughters for generations. That doesn’t mean it would be her *fault* if God forbid something happened, but some common sense might help prevent if from happening in the first place.
How about teaching some common sense? Don’t resist arrest. Quit shooting at cops. Quit joining gangs and dealing drugs and looting and destroying things.
The narrative is that bad cops are not held accountable for their actions. The perception is that this affects POC more often than not but it would still apply to white people if they fell victim to a bad cop. Criminals, if caught, are. Therefore there would be no outrage over this incident because no one is defending the murder and vilifying the victims.
Agree or disagree but it's in no one's best interests to fabricate someone else's point of view.
I've shared this before but this is a good example. I could only find the 51-second video but this went on for a long time. The man is intoxicated and the police officer shouts these commands at him for many minutes until he finally shoots the guy. That police officer is now enjoying a lifetime pension.
Well that incident was an example of horrible policing that was criminal.
That said, just imagine if the victim had been black. All the race merchants would claim it was open season on blacks, and demand XYZ as if it never happens to whites.
Bad cops will abuse whites just as quickly as minorities, but typically they come in contact with more minorities (depending on the city/county).
Heck look at the Mr Floyd case where all for cops (two white, two minority) treated him with respect and even some empathy, despite Mr Floyd being difficult from the first few seconds. The cops finally lost their cool, and went from professional policing to brutality.
Still their goal was not to injure or kill a black person, rather it was trying to do their job, and eventually teach him a lesson for resisting.
Other than these fools who want to be killed by cops, you wonder what on earth they are thinking.
In some cases like these two video examples, it started out over a simple traffic ticket, then escalated to gunfire because of some racial chips on their shoulders;

Unfortunately from what I can tell, there has no been response to change “thug” culture, only calls to defund the police and blame white people. Maybe decrease criminal behavior? Does anyone even consider that?
This is precisely the sort of murderous rage that BLM is inspiring. It really started getting bad back in 2016 when Micah Xavier Johnson went hunting cops in Dallas, successfully murdering five police and two civilians. That inspired a spree of cop killings all over the country. The blind rage against the police and white people hasn't really let up since then.
The main stream news media is doing everything they can to make it all worse. CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo -- they all have blood on their hands, and they wanna blame Donald Trump, police and white people in general.
