    Yeah, true about tonight Bobby, good and obvious point. This just disgusts me. I'm sick to my stomach after yesterdays Bull**** and tonight's Bull****. Can't even go to sleep.

    he needs to stop talking immediately and lawyer up. if in fact his version is the truth, a good lawyer will solve all of his concerns.

    Cops do that to everyone - they are trying to trip you up and get you to say something that shows them you might have been involved. It's called fishing. I don't think the police treated him wrongly - but calling him a suspect was wrong.


    Out of 1000's of protests and interviews - that's all there is to say there are a hate/terrorist type organization?

    What about their website and in many interviews where they have continually said that they are against violence towards anyone including the police?

    Yep, there we're police officers (both black & white) taking pictures and smiling with the demonstrators. It was very peaceful and very much supported by the DPD.

    I love the men in blue and what they do for our country, but that infuriates me. From a personal experience, or seeing my mom being fished, it's a sad sad thing that they do that. And they will go even further if they are not getting the answers they want to hear. And no I am not black, but a minority...yes.

    It's certainly stressful, but it's not illegal. I don't know what you mean by going further - do you mean physical intimidation? I think that does cross the line.

    What they are doing is intentionally creating a high amount of stress to see how you respond. The same thing is done when you enter through immigration - they will ask you a rapid series of questions and see how you answer. It's intended to make you feel uncomfortable.

    It's not about treating innocent people badly - at that stage they don't know if you are involved or not. It's that someone who is a criminal will deal with that situation and answer questions very differently - because they don't know what the cops know or don't know. So it puts them in a tough position since they don't know what to say. But an innocent person doesn't have that problem. They can tell the truth - because they are innocent.

    But a criminal who say robbed 2 people, if the cops start accusing him of murdering those people or stealing a lot more than he actually did, he may admit to the crime he actually did to avoid the larger accusation. It puts them in a tough position.

    I'm not sure I agree with him here. Sometimes you get treated badly by authorities no matter your attitude or presentation. 2 personal events have taught me this with the police.

    1. My friends and I were playing basketball at a local park and we were 12-13 years old. After we are done, one of the older guys playing gets upset because his cigarettes were gone. It turns out his brother took them but before knowing this he was riled enough that he starts the threatening me and my friends to the point he get so enraged he yells I'M ABOUT TO KICK SOME F**KING N1**ER A$$!! Then he goes swinging at one of my friends and before you know it, 5 of his friends/family are swinging on the rest of us. These guys ranged from probably 18 - 50 years old. They beat the **** out of us and take off in a vehicle. We call the police using a phone at a YMCA that was near and one comes and he seems disinterested. He asks us what happens and he then pretends to write the report...on the palm of his hand. We could clearly see he was not writing anything down. He then promptly left and we felt like nothing was going to be done against those individuals.

    2. A group of white teens were cruising a local strip (when that was still allowed) and they pull up to our car when we were headed to BK. They start yelling racial slurs at us, spit on our car, and one even got out and hit the car with a thin wooden stick. We yelled back but went on our way without being physical and called the police. A few minutes later we get pulled over and one by one more and more cop cars show up until a total of 7 were there (6 city and 1 sheriff). They all get out, guns pointed telling us to show our hands and then making us exit and walk backward toward them one by one for a pat down. They then ask each of us if we have any weapons on us or in the car. The same truck that started the whole issue parks across the street and is watching and we try to tell them that is who they need to go get but those pleas are ignored. We're each cuffed and put into separate vehicles and they search the car. The only thing they find is a box cutter (friend worked at Frito-Lay and used it for that job) and nothing else. After releasing is they told us they received a report of one of us pointing a gun at somebody else. They let us go but one of them follows us. He pulls us over again and runs our licenses one more time, for whatever reason. We're let go again but still being tailed and then pulled over a third time and he said something about making sure we were who we said we were. Finally we were let go without being tailed.

    I have had a few other instances as well but those stick out the most.

    Now I'll say, I don't hate all cops. It's a profession where the bad typically outweighs the good in public and/or personal opinion. Those instances did make me realize that some of them will dismiss me and others simply because of who we are. That doesn't mean they are all bad and I have had some very pleasant interactions with them.

    People seem to be crucifying BLM for these officers deaths but I haven't seen any indication that the shooters are part of or support that movement yet, it just happened at a BLM event. I don't support most BLM for my own reasons but let's wait until the facts come up before passing judgement on this movement for these heinous crimes. It could very well be BLM supprter or an ISIS supporter of a white supremacy supporter. We don't know yet so let's wait to see what we can find out.

    I think a lot of this was echo from all the buildings. But definitely a lot of gunfire, and much of it was rapid fire.

    Lee Harvey Oswalt/JFK assassination was the last sniper incident that happened in Dallas? R.I.P to the victims.

    When people say it's not Blacklivesmatter but AllLivesMatter - they clearly don't get the point of saying blacklivesmatter.

    Unarmed black men are 3 times as likely to get killed by a cop as they should be.

    And you don't get the point of how out of control BLM has become. It's a cesspool of hate and ignorance at this point. It needs leadership that will have the balls to objectively look at incidents independent of each other and to speak out against false flag incidents like the Michael Brown incident. There's no way at this point to determine if there was police wrongdoing in the latest incidents.

    i'm not good at this kind of math: what's the acceptable rate of killing then?
