    Gee just think what we could accomplish if some of this faux keyboard outrage was channeled when ooh 20 or 30 school children are mowed down huddled underneath their desks, or churchgoers in their pews or shoppers at the local WalMart.

  5. Officers chased the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Sheldon C. Francis, into a wooded area, where they exchanged gunfire, cops said.

    He was found dead from a gunshot wound around 4 p.m. in the Brennen Estates neighborhood, which borders the cemetery, authorities said.


    Criminal caught and case closed...justice was served so how does this prove anything when we are talking about cases a plenty where justice was not served or only after video got out.

    Do we have to point out every heinous crime where the criminal was punished? In those cases the system works and the public does not need to get involved. The point is there are a statistically significant amount of killings by police where the police simply get off or nothing is done to change it.

    Where in the system are white people regularly getting killed by Black criminals and the criminals are let go or barely punished once caught?

  7. The question is what crimes warrant being killed by police because that is the main difference that is being highlighted. How many white people pulled over for a traffic stop get killed versus Black people. That is where the proportionality difference is striking.

    No one is looking to object to a person black or white, who is armed and dangerous getting killed by police in a shoot out. If you argument is more Black people die proportionately because more Black commit crimes proportionately then let's dig deepr.

    We can list numerous Black people being stopped for a misdemeanor or less and ending up dead. That makes no sense as police are not judge and jury and do not have the right to execute whoever they want.

    However when the justice system does not prosecute the offenders then they get to keep on doing it.

    I think if you do a research study of white and black people killed after traffic stops or arrested for misdemeanors and who ends up dead, there is where you will see the proportionately that shows what is being complained about.

    Everything is designed to create divisions within the US. Both liberal MSM and conservative News reporting merely stirs their respective bases. Nothing today is reported for factual content, it’s all opinion and agenda based with the sole purpose to create hatred and divisiveness against the other side.

    There are major players stoking both sides trying to create a tragic physical confrontation between police and protesters and or protesters and residents which only cements the underlying mistrust.

    People have lost the ability to understand they are being played
