until very recently, the police gave all their political help to democrats, who gleefully accepted. My whole
life, until very recently, the police and democrats were hand in hand. so are you saying your party, for decades, willingly signed themselves with racists? sure sounds like that’s what you’re saying.

Socioeconomics, nor race, dictate that blacks will commit a disproportionate share of violent crime. Not because they’re black, but because they’re more likely to be poor, more likely to have grown up without a dad.

Common sense suggests most police interactions will be, and should be, where most violent crime takes place.

therefore, police will have a disproportionate share of interactions with blacks. That’s not racist. It’s inevitable because of socioeconomics.

pete, you get in trouble, you call 911, the cops come running to you. they don’t care what color you are, they don’t care that you’re a deranged liberal parrot who hates police because CNN tells him to. They don’t care that they are putting themselves in danger. They drop what they’re doing, and they run to you.

that doesn’t mean they’re perfect, doesn’t mean we don’t look for good reforms and doesn’t mean we don’t weed out the bad apples. But maybe it means you could put politics aside for a nanosecond and admit the obvious truth about them. But you can’t. Partisan politics derives your every breath.

You’re losing it, you don’t know me and you obviously don’t know cops.

The weeding has never been done well.

You’re a shining example of white privilege.

oh we’ve all got you figured out, believe me. took all of a day. and the data on cops is very clear.

There are somewhere around 750,000 cops in the country. tens if not hundreds of millions of interactions with people every year. some are in the most stressful imaginable situations. and out of tens or hundreds of millions of interactions a year, maybe a few dozen unarmed civilians are killed, and those aren’t all unjustified. One unjustified death is too many, but the irrefutable data is crystal clear, there’s no epidemic. not even close.

I’m all in favor of improving the process of weeding out the psychos. No one objects to that. What is disgusting, is demonizing all of them to the point where it gets some of them killed. That’s what your side is doing. for political gain. congratulations.

“white privilege.”. right. pete, the most economically successful demographic in the us isn’t whites. it’s asians. If white privilege is such a big factor, how do asians do it?

answer - it’s not about skin color. it’s about the quality of the parents you were born to. the data also makes that clear. black kids born to two loving committed parents who work hard and make good decisions,,do just fine. White kids born to single teenage moms, struggle.

it ain’t about skin color. But that’s what your side leads with, because it’s all you have. The truth doesn’t help get democrats elected.

we don’t need to all be white to succeed. We need to behave more like the asians - extremely tight knit families that work amazingly hard and see education as a gift from god and they take better advantage of it.

“good parent” privilege is a thousand times more valuable than white privileged.
