    Oh I agree it's a problem, just not the problem you think it is. It says more about those tin foil hat wearing people than it does anything else.

    You're delusional if you think even D&D would come up excuses to defend cops shooting a 9 yr old girl doing homework in her room. Once again, you clearly care more about painting an image of some posters than you do about any of these incidents.

    People like you who try to excuse and justify riots are truly the insane ones.

    Yes Bobby, I'm sure you know the experiences of these people.

    Yes, just like during the entire civil rights era those people were delusional too. Lets just ignore them.

    After the Tamir Rice incident, yes I'm sure some would. Your so defensive about it, I didn't even say you would though.

    I didn't justify anything. Nice try though.

    I said that people riot and protest against the state. Especially when they feel it is not working for them or against them.

    Hey Glendice, what's the point of all those pictures? Could you articulate why you felt the need to post them?

    Comparing the morons in the BLM "movement" to the civil rights movement is pretty disrespectful.

    One is a legitimate cause, the other is a punchline.

    Jay, this is nothing but a race baiting troll thread. It's GlenDice's specialty. Don't waste your time.

    Civil Rights were obviously a bigger issue. The point is this though. EVEN THEN a large part of the country thought Blacks were just complaining and being delusional and all that jazz. EVEN THEN.

    The point is this. You can't speak for people. Let them speak for themselves. You don't walk a step in their shoes, listen to their complaints. Don't just wave them away as invalid. You call them tin foil yet the government concluded that Ferguson had issues. So I guess the government itself believes in this tin foil conspiracy

    Yes true, sometimes I fall for the bait far too often.

    They're not speaking, they're rioting.

    Of course you do, you just replied to a race baiter on the other side of the fence.

    Law enforcement needing reform and unruly rioters who riot for no good reason are not mutually exclusive.

    Seriously, if anyone's argument against the need for LE reform is "Look! there are bad black people" have no legitimate argument.

    Obviously there is a lot of reactionary elements to the whole cop shoots a black person. There's so little trust in the police force right now.

    The comparison to a criminal killing a black person is weak though. What are people suppose to protest for - "hey any potential criminal - stop killing people!"

    People need to understand that there is a problem on BOTH sides and what we need is to find ways to deescalate the tension so that people can feel safe and cops can do their jobs.

    The problem is that the protesters are way too often taking the side of criminals, that was the case in the Micheal Brown case, that was the case in the Freddy Gray case, that was the case in the Eric Garner case, that is the case in this Mansur Ball-Bey case.

    The protesters are out showing support for the very people that victimize their communities and it's just pants on head r****ded.

    No the problem is that there are too many instances where the police are racist and/or acting excessively which creates massive distrust of any police officer good or bad.

    That's the problem. The protestors are a manifestation of that problem, not the cause. Stop blaming protestors.

    That's a relatively small problem when compared to rampant criminality in their communities....but it seems like that's not considered that big a deal.

    Also, it's kind of hard to take them seriously when they don't ever seem to be out protesting legitimate examples of racist cops or excessive force.

    Perceived problems seem to be getting all of the attention while legitimate problems are ignored.

    People protesting the wrong thing doesn't mean racist cops or cops who use excessive force should get off the hook for acting in a criminal manner.

    Yes there is a lot of crime. But to prevent and solve crimes you need a local community and the police force to cooperate. That can't happen when the police have too many criminals in their own ranks.

    I agree that racist cops or cops that use excessive force shouldn't get off the hook for acting in a criminal manner, but that is excessively rare and is a MUCH smaller problem than the rampant criminality in some communities.....but all we see is b****ing about cops, and the cops they b**** about most have been innocent.

    pretty much this.

    I said this many times before and I'll say it again, people love to play victim and feel that they are being mistreated by authority. They will go as far as fabricate stories (many stories out there of people doing it) and pretend to be black just to make up a story of a hate crime happening to them.
