  1. And that's already been done, for anyone paying attention. But the people pushing the BLM narrative have no intention of understanding what is actually going on. You fail to realize that you've swallowed their narrative whole by even acknowledging that there might be a problem with homicidal maniac racist cops. The violent crime disparities between whites and blacks are well documented. In 2015 there were 987 fatal police shootings in the USA. Blacks made up 26% of those shootings. Of those, 36 "unarmed" black males were shot, though "unarmed" includes those who went for the officer's gun, were beating a cop with his own equipment, the results of accidental discharge during a struggle, and a bystander. If BLM and co. actually had a legitimate gripe with cops, you would know about the white guy in Tuscaloosa, Alabama who came at a cop with a !@#$ing spoon and was tazed and then shot. But that doesn't suit the narrative. So guys like Michael Brown (who clearly attempted to take an officer's weapon - an immediate deadly force response was needed) become household names because it's convenient for the narrative.
  2. I wouldn't say "blacks themselves" you !@#$ing racist. I would say that the culture that's been crafted in heavily black, poor neighborhoods has contributed a lot to this, and it's not just black males. When I worked in child welfare, a lot of the black males I encountered wanted to see their children and contribute positively to their lives. But the women that bore their children would do everything in their power to keep the children away from the fathers. Not to mention the number of women I met who have four children with four different surnames. It's trendy to blame black men but I'm not convinced they're even most of the problem, much less the entire problem.
  3. >Pulls a gun at campaign rally >Still has **** record on 2nd Amendment. Btw he's not a senator.
  4. There's no way to simulate, much less quantify, what you're describing. Every deadly force encounter is different and every police force is different. But nuances like this are impossible to communicate when people who don't know jack **** about policing say **** like "why didn't they shoot the knife out of his hands?!?!?!"
  5. Again: why do we expect whites and blacks to have similar per capita outcomes for interactions with police when they don't have similar per capita numbers of interactions with police, don't have similar violent crime rates, and live in dissimilar neighborhoods when it comes to police presence?
  6. That'd be a fun viral marketing campaign. Maybe Abrams can do something like it for the next Cloverfield installment.
  7. I really think this kind of shitposting is underrated.
  8. Then they come down in the middle of it and realize how stupid they look
  9. Have fun, gents. I'll see you at the next one. I'm leaving from NYC in about half an hour.
  10. I mean I get the math ones and still don't think they're funny. But I also have no sense of humor.
  11. And it's not susceptible to pesky laws of physics like gravity!
  12. She's certainly strong willed, from what I understand to a point beyond where you can call it "strong willed" and more to the point of "controlling."
  13. TRIGGERED! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
  14. DONCHA THINK
  15. I don't appreciate irony.
  16. And how many people have you met that actually do that? And how did you verify this?
  17. And "independent thought" is what, exactly? Something reasonably close to the things you believe? Because when people say "free thought" or "independent thought" that's exactly what they mean: "thoughts that are like my thoughts." Because using the phrases themselves as markers of status reveal insufferable pretension and the actual motivation: "I want everyone to think like me, because I'm better."
  18. It's those damn kids and their rap musics! You're talking about an industry where guys called Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, etc. are major players.
  19. Who are you again? I was thinking about it but schedule is looking tight for that weekend into Monday. Being the newish guy at work sucks.
  20. He's a millionaire producer bruh, not exactly one of us schlubs.
  21. This one is shaping up to be a real barnburner.
  22. I think somebody's rang my doorbell twice since I last moved (over a year ago). One was a bum at 3:00am in the middle of a snowstorm looking for shelter and the other was a cop doing a background investigation on one of my neighbors.
  23. Whether ESPN likes it or not her "verified" twitter account with a link to her work on ESPN's website in her bio is going to reflect on them. I don't like it and I'm sure they don't either.
