    Hard to find a range in Houston? not sure if serious

    You keep saying AR-15. That is what plebs can buy. The police are getting select fire M-16s and then losing them. Hundreds have been suspended from the 1033 program because they lost machine guns. If these are toys the police have proven they aren't responsible enough to have them and unlike the fictional guy in med center they didn't pay for them.

    They've even been "losing" humvees... "Hey, I accidentally misplaced a humvee."

    It's possible they're selling that equipment.

    Again, you don't get that it is MORE than just this one case.

    You seem to think that it's just one thing that happened and people said "That's it." the riot was "Enough is enough."

    I would like to see the videos you guys have of innocent white people being shot by police that never made it to national news. I wish you and Nook would provide these videos. That would be surprising to see.

    I don't know but it makes you wonder. Maybe family members and survivalist would be my guess.

    I know you're not. But many may have felt his actions were deserving of that beat down he got (plus beat downs are common when you run from the cops and don't get away). I don't even think that story was big and that many people were upset about it.

    I said beating people and doing other unlawful stuff. I don't think I said shootings...

    The problem is people are arguing that the OP story is not big news because the "victim" is white, something that simply isn't true. It's not big news because there are no witnesses or video of him being shot. So in order to refute that you would have to find video of a white kid being shot by cops that was not national news.

    I get your point... I just think it should be big news even without the video... Especially considering the fact cops have been getting caught lying.

    If someone was intentionally trying to run over a cop and the cop was in danger _ wouldn't it make sense for bullet holes to be in the front windshield... Because if the cop was able to shoot through a side window than the cop may not have been in the way of the car.

    It happens, it just doesn't happen because of racism. It's just a red herring to distract from the issue. The white on white racism movement is dead on arrival.

    I think people get little too hung up in the blacklivesmatter name, instead of trying to understand what they are really about.

    A cop lied and said Patricia Cook tried to run over him a few years back.

    The cop was convicted and received 3 years... Smh.

    But maybe this cop is telling the truth...

    We'll see, if it turns out he's not, that's what they have trials for.

    Cook was a older church going white woman who had a witness... So we'll see how this trial goes with this kid.
