Yes, this is true. Even the most ardent right-winger wouldn't associate themselves with that kind of mindset. It's crazy fringe stuff.

Well, I hate to say it, but you also have to look at who commits crime at a disproportional rate: black males within a certain age group. So yeah, black cops are probably wary of other blacks too.

I'll retract the statements. My apologies, but the ideology and many of the members are pretty radical. I was heated and could have watched the words better. I guess I should know about being labeled.

We need to address these issues and not just blame it on cops, let's start by addressing things at a social and community level, re train cops, address crime rate, and begin tackling things at there root. Retraining cops won't work alone, start by attacking crime rates in poorer neighborhoods, Foster good relations with cops, and denounce racism from both sides.

Statistically simply because whites far outnumber blacks in terms of population, check the percentages. FFS, do some critical thinking.

Whites get killed TWICE as often, yet are five times the population. You don't see the issue?

An outpouring of support? Lol. Okay.

Look what they did in Baltimore, Ferguson, Chicago etc. They burnt down stores and cop cars, looted, 2 cops were killed in NYC in retaliation for Freddie gray, I think you need to look up stuff more and avoid just listening to one sided news.
Omg, they burned a store down and flipped a cop car. Forget the fact that people aren't allowed to grieve before their neighborhoods were occupied by militarized police. Well over 1,000 people were killed by police last year, and if you see nothing wrong with that, something's clearly wrong with you.

What does that have to do with anything? Police brutality isn't exclusive to white police officers.
The problem is it seems he was reaching for a gun. It is possible to pull a gun even while you are pinned to the ground.

I never said that's wrong, clearly something should be done. But seriously? You don't see burning down people's livelihoods, destroying public property and disrupting life I in general as wrong????

I'm talking proportionally to the population, not % wise on it's own. Use some common sense. There's five times the white population the U.S. yet are only killed twice as often. That's 2.5 times less likely than a black victim. Simple math.
