hello america!!! just because we may have different viewpoints, do not paint me in as an idiot---facts back up facts...
there are many ways to define 'protests' & 'racism' &, while i agree that some cops are extremely brutal, it's not just a 'black/white' issue---i also agree that no life should be taken by anybody unjustly---with that said, in a world driven by technology, everything is instantly put on public media & we make our judgements based on that &, unfortunately, we also allow ourselves to be led by the national media & our 'so-called leaders'---yes, there are many more white cops than black ones, however, cops have killed more whites than blacks by (almost) a two to one ratio based on the 2015 stats---cops killed a total of 990 people & of that number, 258 of those killings were black (the vast majority of them were deemed justified) &, that holds true for this year---the majority of cops do an honorable job but, all we see are the ugly ones &, regardless of how may you feel, the bottom line is, they are just as human as the rest of us &, if we can forget ourselves in a moment & do something stupid, why is it that we expect them not to do the same (even though they are supposed to be trained not to)??? seemingly, everybody wants to talk about the abuse by cops on black lives &, if that's all we had to worry about as a people, i would be in the streets throwing bottles & rocks with you, however, our bigger problem is within our own communities that goes uncovered by the media & it's called 'black-on-black' crime---unfortunately, i have a better chance of getting shot or abused by another black person than a cop, PERIOD!!! we get all caught up in the 'headlines' & very seldom do a thorough research of them because we have the proof of what goes on in our chicagos of our country & the sad part is, nobody says crap about them---for this year alone, 366 people have been killed in chicago & the cops were involved in only 11 of them---killing 4 while wounding 7---277 blacks lost their lives & nobody (NOT EVEN YOU) even mention them &, 'black lives matter' (along with our 'so-called leaders') are nowhere to be found...nation-wide for 2016, the police have killed 524 people & the vast majority of them were 'justified' & of them, 129 were black---it's easy to pull the 'race card' out but, it's hard to put it back---case in point; in a black & latino community where they outnumber whites & others 80% to 20%, the cops give more tickets to the 80% group & we scream 'racism' without even thinking about the true numbers---in that setting, we should get more tickets...also, if a white politician disagrees with obamas policies, he's branded a 'racist'---if you honestly want to look at today's american racism, look at who's funding those protests & who's inciting blacks to violence...
when you look at today's black communities you'll find that they are over-run with gangs, drugs, guns, poor education, lack of jobs, crime & poverty &, unfortunately, that's an unforgivable constant throughout our country---try a 'ride-along' with the human police that have to service those communities & have to deal with the abuse that they receive on a daily basis & then, you'll realize that we're fortunate that many more of them didn't 'snap' sooner...
