If Black lives actually mattered, then BLM and liberals/democrats would be talking about this and trying to find solutions, but they won't. They'll be silent as usual.
the national cancer institute has failed to talk about this issue as well. failure on their part.

Yes, I'm sure the crims will follow the curfew and be home promptly at 5:45 to set the table for dinner. Definitely won't be like telling them they can't have guns or anything

What?

It takes a village?

Imagine that ....

Yes, but it's what we've come to expect on this forum. Every thread premise must be taken with a grain of salt.

If the group members routinely drive 100 MPH on the freeways while putting on makeup and checking their fantasy football lineups on their phones on their way to every meeting of the group fighting children's swimming accidents, frequently causing grisly crashes, then...yes, they do also need to talk about auto accidents at their group meetings.

if they're concerned about kids' lives? sure, why not?

why does blm focus intently on a miniscule number (comparatively speaking) of lives lost to police officers and blatantly ignore the thousands that are lost in black-on-black crime if their motto is 'black lives matter'?

answer: because they only care about politically useful black lives.


you know it. i know it. we all know it.

just admit it.

It would dilute their group focus? Remember how the NRA told doctors to 'stay in their lane' about gun deaths?

The question is if yahoos can use the situation of other dangers as a talking point to make desultory remarks.

In that situation, a wood shampoo would amount to what is often referred to as a teaching moment. I'm sure the first knock on the head would instruct proper interaction protocols with local law enforcement. Any subsequent head blows would serve to reinforce the intended lesson. Leaving the student with a life lesson they won't soon forget.

Actually, that kind of stuff just changes an enforcement situation into a violent incident. It makes those involved retreat to separate corners and come out swinging. The police are trained to de-escalate emotionally-laden situations. You parrot outdated thinking and hackneyed methods.

Don't discount the possibility of a law enforcement officer being on the receiving end of a beating once he or she foments some type of physical interaction.

For your information: Police usually don' try repeated striking of a person in the head. The victim keeps swinging. Blows to the outside of the knees are much more effective in bringing a combatant to the ground. You seem to be uninformed about this particular area.
