Truth

If someone had taught him to throw hands and ground fight a kid wouldn't be dead. Can't say I'm sad about any of it except that this kid will have a felony conviction on his record for the rest of his life. Hopefully he gets a sweet deal from the DA.

Dream Theater. Because one song is plenty.

So do most cops. Now that body cameras have been implemented in many departments, I'm still waiting for all these videos of unjustified shoots of black folks I was promised

Have some whiskey

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

Calculate how much marijuana they're buying instead?

Well you start with the salaries of public servants like teachers and cops and break it down hourly. I'm not really sure how medical care works for illegal immigrants but I'm sure you could find some way to break it down. You can start getting numbers pretty quickly just from some googling. Won't be the most complete picture, but the fact that education and law enforcement are big parts of those numbers explains why state and local governments bear a lot more of the cost than the feds do.

Here's the thing: I don't bother citing statistics and facts and such when I encounter a BLM type. You can't reason someone out of an emotional position, so why bother? You can't "strip out" their emotions and replace them with facts. You can only replace their misplaced anger with well-placed shame. And here's the thing: this has only increased with time, not decreased. Information is more readily available, but I think you underestimate people's willingness to believe disinformation (also more readily available) simply because it makes them feel good. Mockery is the only tool against them. This applies generally to SJWs, as SJWs always lie. They have no use for facts, only rhetoric. This, among other things, is a big reason why Trump took the country by storm last November. He fought rhetoric with rhetoric, while Republicans generally have tried to engage in good-faith debate. Republicans played a game that they couldn't win because leftists weren't even playing the same game. Trump played their game, and he played it better.

Again, the disparities in the commission of violent crimes in white vs. black populations is well documented; that you can't separate that from a population number is your problem. If we go off of the commission of violent crimes, then blacks are actually underrepresented in fatal police encounters. As to sample size and statistical relevance, I think it's hard to say what would be an effective sample when police have millions and millions of encounters with civilians every year. As far as the factors that play into whether or not a cop pulls a trigger, again I'm not sure we'll ever have a good way to measure that because deadly force encounters happen very quickly and involve human minds that have been flooded with adrenaline and what have you. It's remarkably easy to not get shot by a cop. Millions of people manage to not get shot in their encounters with police every year. Close to half a million manage to not get shot while being arrested for a violent felony. The number of "bad" shoots is remarkably small, and those cops are dealt with accordingly (not with "paid leave" like Kaep and BLM like to say). Edited to add: if I recall correctly there were 30 shoots of "unarmed" whites in 2015, but again the use of the word "unarmed" can be extremely misleading to the point of useless. That was more the point I was trying to make by "qualifying" its use.

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.

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.

>Pulls a gun at campaign rally >Still has **** record on 2nd Amendment. Btw he's not a senator.

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?!?!?!"

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?

That'd be a fun viral marketing campaign. Maybe Abrams can do something like it for the next Cloverfield installment.

I really think this kind of shitposting is underrated.

Then they come down in the middle of it and realize how stupid they look

Have fun, gents. I'll see you at the next one. I'm leaving from NYC in about half an hour.

I mean I get the math ones and still don't think they're funny. But I also have no sense of humor.

And it's not susceptible to pesky laws of physics like gravity!

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."
