Black Lives Matter is an honorable movement and is in no way racist

There is a violent arm in american society. Is American society dead as legitimacy goes?

There is a violent arm in human kind. Is human kind dead as legitimacy goes?

Virtually everything YOU see. Do you see more than those that you want to see? How many have you actually seen or witness or been told? 10? 20? 50? 100? 1000? How many members of BLM are there?

 

You're overlooking the operant condition of having "taken over." If I have to go digging around past the violent representations of BLM to hopefully find something worthwhile, then it was an ineffective organization I guess.

 

Oh I read it, what you said was 100% inaccurate and frankly, really stupid, but I read it.

When you say

You are implying that once the cop makes up his mind as to if he's going to give her a ticket or a warning, Bland could just drive off because she's "free to go", that couldn't be further from the truth.

Also you've yet to acknowledge that the SCOTUS ruled that an officer ALWAYS has cause to ask someone to step out of their vehicle during a stop as a lawful order.

I know you want to stand up for Bland and you want to twist things in a way to make her a sympathetic character, but it's just not possible. She was nothing more than a mentally unstable person who broke the law and ended up in jail because no one cared about her enough to pay her $500 bail.

That's really what this all comes down to.

White trucks matter!

 

Lol I like the comment some guy wrote

Jerome Bostick 1 minute ago
That's so sad to find out that he made the story up since so many fine americans 'want to believe' this story to be true! He should be arrested for making up the story, but he shouldn't have to pay those people back any money. 'A fool and his his money shall soon depart'...That's the price they should pay for being such fools!

I need to start using that

 

I can't remember ever making a comment about Carson's opinions on homosexuality. My comment was merely responding in kind to your post.

The system which incarcerates blacks at dramatically higher rates, for sentences longer than those imposed on whites who commit the same crimes, and which sees blacks and other minorities pulled over and/or searched by police at much higher rates than whites in the same situations.

 

It really shouldn't be that surprising, blacks commit a disproportionally high percent of crimes and are more likely to be poor. Poor people are less likely to get away with crime and are more likely to get longer sentences than those who are not poor due to a generally lower quality of representation.

None of that is an indication of a "bias" system, it's really just obvious if you think about it.

 

Isn't it more of a crime rate and lawyering issue than one of police racism and/or corruption? No doubt some of it all exists at one time/place or another.

 

You might want to use the correct version, which is "A fool and his money are soon parted."

 

i loled.

 

First end the War on Drugs then lets revisit racism and the police state.

 

Blacks get longer sentences even when controlling for socioeconomic status, level of education, and a myriad of other potentially confounding variables.

As far as your first contention, blacks are more likely to be arrested, there is far less evidence that they actually commit crimes at higher rates. In fact, in an unrelated study that I did (I was studying whether CHL laws reduce crime), I found that in seven of the nine crime types reported by FBI crime statistics, states with higher African-American populations had lower crime rates.

 

"taken over"? Based on what? A few video here and there?

Is your source Fox? If so, you really should watch the video from the "How FAUX works" thread from Dubious. It touch on BLM war on cop.

 

During the stop they can ask that. But once it is finished they can ask but the driver does not have to step out unless there is reasonable cause. This is the 4th amendment.

 

They will never ever accept that.

 

Who controls sentencing? A judge or a jury of their peers....

 

Fox News? How convenient for you but sorry, no. I don't gather news; it just comes at me-- and a lot of that news is from right here on CF.

 

Yes, and in the Bland case the officer made the lawful order DURING the stop....I really don't understand why you are failing to comprehend that obvious, easily verifiable fact.

A stop isn't over until AFTER a ticket or warning has been ISSUED, not decided upon, not written up, ISSUED. The officer never got a chance to issue the warning because of crazy pills acting hostile and ridiculous.....in fact, after watching the way she acted, it's no wonder why no one cared enough about her to spot her $500 bucks to save her life.

 

The NCVS disagrees with you, at least insofar as violent crime is concerned. I suppose the respondents are just racists who are lying about the race of their attackers to paint black people in a bad light though, right? The NCVS is by no means perfect, but what data we have suggests that black people (especially males) commit violent crimes at far higher rates than other races. Asians and white non-Hispanics commit violent crimes at substantially lower rates. Hispanics commit violent crimes at rates somewhere between black and white people.

I would be interested in seeing a study regarding sentencing that controls for all factors besides race though, as I have never even heard of one's existence.

A judge, except in the case of the death penalty.

 

I ask because your view is a close reflection of the story fox has been propogating about blm. And if all you taking in is news, you are only seeing what news report, which generally focus on controversial things and rarely on normal peaceful demonstration or good deeds.
