When people straw men each other's opinions, nothing gets accomplished. No one stated that cops are looking out to kill. The argument is far more nuanced than that and you know it. It has more to do with inherent pre-conceived biases and training that pretty much allows for zero trust towards certain communities and the go too assumption is that 'those people' with the slightest movement of the arms is going to reach out for a weapon and kill you. It even affects me. I remember being pulled over for going ten over and even I was nervous with every movement I made with the officer. I made sure not suddenly move my hands around. I made sure that my hands were rested on the steering wheel. I was like a robot. DO you really think that type of relationship with law enforcement is a healthy one in a non-draconian society? I mean, that seems like what an interaction would be like between a Gestapo and a Jew. Is that REALLY how law enforcement ought to operate?
Sad it had to come to this, very sorry for the families of the police officers who died. However, sad to say, this was bound to happen. Too many of the police got off on killing black (innocent) people. Nothing was done and justice was not served. Continue to let things stay the same and this will happen again.
It's not the content of the quote, it's who is being quoted. That's a racist cop killer being quoted. If someone were to use a Dylan Roof quote that wasn't outright racist would you assume that the person using that quote and looking up to him as a role model would be a racist? Of course you would. You can tell a LOT about people based on who they look up to.
Sounds like you are justifying a terrorist act by parroting the type of dangerous propaganda that the shooter believed.....not a good look kid.
No, it started when Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman and ended up dead. They just got a lot more national coverage after Micheal Brown attacked a cop and ended up dead.
And they were still chanting that crap yesterday..... that and **** the Police.... peaceful protest my ass.
Stop your racial pity party. You're totally duped by the racist agitators like Shaun King and others who are paid to share half-truths and rile you up. Lose the ignorance.
actually it's spot on. Obama hasn't done jack schit to help the situation, and in fact all he's done is incite hostility towards our brave police forces around the country.
So damn tired of this... tell me what sounds more hostile? Or.. And... Too much division in this country, and after all these tragic events, what do a lot of people do? They create more division by needlessly pointing fingers instead of trying to understand differing viewpoints and having rational, honest discussions about how we got here and what we seriously need to do to mend the situation.
Based on a lot of what you have wrote you can be labeled that way aswell so whom have you been looking up to.

Not really, there's some truth to it just the same as there is truth to claims that Trump fans those same flames. When you try to convince a segment of the population that others are against you then violence will often be the result. Obama's comments after tragedies often have made things worse because he gives credibility to those who think that cops or white people are out to get black people. That said, Obama has never been a president to bring people together, he's always had a divisive "us vs them" tone when it comes to almost any issue.
Not accurately I couldn't. Now I can't guarantee that some drooling r****ds wouldn't convince themselves that I was racist, but I've always maintained that race is irrelevant to me and I've never suggested otherwise.
