Wait, so he was shot *because* he was resisting someone who just chased him down and was threatening him with a rifle? This is a special kind of stupid.

He was out for a jog, he was shot because he was black.

His "jog," as it apparently was before, was temporarily delayed by the necessity of illegally trespassing on private property which had mysteriously (not so mysterious as shown by surveillance cameras in the property) had various tools periodically stolen.

If the men who responded to the illegal trespass had wanted to shoot the "jogger" because he was black, they didn't have to wait until he assaulted one of them and tried to take his gun. He could have been blown away with several shots as he approached or as he was followed, or as he was passed.

Or was it just more exciting, more of an adventure in the "kill the black man game," to wait until he could possibly disarm you and kill you first?


Multiple cops on the scene can't stop a father with three kids so it's a death sentence? You don't put 7 rounds into someone to slow them down.

He was shot because he was black, and this is why they protest.
Yeah that's it . . . intentionally let him escape your grasp so you can shoot him in the back while playing the "kill the black man game."

So when the cops kill white people, who they kill more than black people, are they killing them because they are white?

The facts are very simple. If you’re an African American male, you are 2.5 times more likely to be shot by police, killed by police, than someone who is white,” Scott said during a press availability in Charleston.

Police search black motorists 3x more than white motorists.

But (!), searches of black motorists don't yield more contraband.

Apparently those odds are acceptable to you as a white boy, put you in blackface and drop you off in Grosse Pointe on a dark and rainy night you will likely change your tune

How many more times is it likely that African American males will be involved in violent crimes than the number of times White American males are

Police search black motorists 3x more than white motorists.

For possible reason, see the above stat.

But (!), searches of black motorists don't yield more contraband.

How many times have blacks been killed by police in Grosse Point? I don't know of any, and our friend google didn't find any either. But it may have happened.

It is more dangerous for anybody, of any color, to be in the streets of Detroit on a dark or rainy night, or any other time, than on the streets of Grosse Pointe.

But that is a different subject than the supposed problem of the police killing blacks because they are black.

Prosecutors' Plea Deal Required Drug Suspect To Name Breonna Taylor

https://www.npr.org/2020/09/02/90862...d-crime-syndic

A man charged with running a drug syndicate was offered a plea deal in July if he would name Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old Black woman killed by police in her Louisville, Ky. apartment, as a member of his alleged criminal gang, according to the man's attorney.



will we take this with the same Seriousness that some have suggested a that rittenhouse was a lifeguard who cleaned graffiti. it wasn't his gun and basically a good boy and a Patriot to push his self defense argument


yet in kentucky once again the Victim Breonna Taylor is trying to be portrayed as an evil drug dealer to justify the police over her shooting ??

She was black and you know “How many more times is it likely that African American males will be involved“
Everybody knows that and those women........
