    At least you are honest about your bigotry, insanity and paranoia. That's the best thing I can say about you.

    We live in a country where a mentally ill black man who steals a soda and a candy bar from a 7-11 gets put in jail for 2 months where he dies, and a country where Lindsay Lohen steals a neckless and gets community service, and a rich white old guy commits fraud and gets fired from his job with a multi-million dollar severance package.

    The shoe will never be on the other foot.

    No. Sounds like it was provided to the Sheriff office and not made available to the public.

    Looking again at the video, it looks like there was almost a 2 sec delay between the shirtless man putting his hands up and the officer turning slightly, aim and shoot, all occurring while the shirtless man was frozen still. Everything seems to be in slow motion with no jerky actions from any of the three. The other officer disappear from view right prior to the shooting.

    Why such a delay and did he see something, heard something, panic, went criminal?

    Well at least this would give protesters a legitimate reason to chant "hands up, don't shoot".....but this might not be deemed worthy of protests because the guy is white, doesn't advance the right narrative.

    You have a basic misunderstanding what the purpose of a protest is.

    The biggest irony with with the "COPS ARE INFALLIBLE" **** suckers is with their attempt to put law enforcement on a pedestal of god like status they are actually applying the same standards on officers that are applied to the general public.

    The people who scrutinize officers are the ones who actually place law enforcement in high regard. Yet, the cop **** suckers scream unfair criticism when we do place higher level of scrutiny on them.

    And everyone is guaranteed to use each tragedy and twist up the story to serve their own political agenda.

    Black women have the lowest response rate in online dating websites, and their response rate from white males is only undercut by their response rate from Asian males. White males seem to go for Middle Eastern, Pacific Islander, every other non-black category, and then black. So, funny, but not true.

    Way to correct those white racial preferences. Nice job.

    Black men aren't digging on the black women either, preferring all other categories, but with the number one preference being Pacific Islander. Overall, Middle Eastern females have the highest response rate to their messages. White women are the second least preferred overall, narrowly trailing Native Americans and Latinas.

    :)

    Very odd, since there are hardly any Pacific Islanders. Maybe those of Asian/Mixed ancestry? I highly doubt your sources btw.

    Well that's a really broad spectrum. Are you sure? You'd be surprised.

    The raw number of available people in each group would have little to no impact on this metric.
    I have no idea how accurate the numbers are, they come from an OKCupid study from 2009.
