Oh. Then why did you quote peeps?

Yeah, this

I think we can all agree that if Skitch had kept that dollhouse, none of this would've happened.

The officer who shot Philando is the son of a man who works at my school. The father is one of the nicest people on the planet. He's like the living embodiment of the kind Mexican patriarch. He calls me Mr. even though he's 20 years my senior. I never had his son (the officer) in class, but he was a super nice kid, too. Didn't think this situation could be anymore heartbreaking than it was.

Yup. If you raise entire generations by telling them that they are the victims of unseen oppression, that hatred towards them is in their country's DNA, stereotype them as thugs, ghettoize their culture, and then place in them into the echo chamber of reactionary hate that is social media, this is the only result. And it is literally the worst thing they could have done if the goal is stop police from treating young black men differently because now every cop out there has an excuse. It will be sad to watch the progressive commentators try to perform the pretzel-like logic twisting that morally equates the tragedies that befell those two men earlier in the week with snipers firing on police who were protecting a protest.

This is like the ultimate Broken Iris post. It's got everything: light concern-trolling, "social media echo chamber", logic pretzels, and subtly nasty undertones. It's like a N&D sampler platter

Im just going to go back to bed. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Lol

Our Strat had a senior moment

Im too riled up about being blamed for all of this mess.

Someone I know is trying to convince me this is a conspiracy to further militarize police forces and disable BLM/blacks. This is all just so dumb.

I take umbrage with your suggestion that it's the fault of black people.

In this instance, it's the fault of a black power group. But that was an attack on progressive social engineering, not black people. They are the group being twisted by this combination of systemic oppression and political manipulation. And it's awful naive to think that constant trashing of cops and insinuation that they are waging a war on black people isn't going to have lasting psychological effects on already vulnerable populations and not lead to dangerous rationalizations for committing retaliatory violence.

What I said was that police shootings of black people not involved in a active crime are rare.

What a crock of shit.

How so? You don't think this will magnify police profiling of BLM protesters and young black man in general? That cops won't be far more aggressive with their treatment of black suspects as a result? That the next time a cop feels remotely threatened by a young black man he won't think of revenge? That bigoted jurists won't latch on to this as a justification for automatically siding with cops?

I would hate to disappoint you.

Every strat post.

Well I guess the killer police robot argument got a little stronger, so good for our future overlords I guess.

Hey Burt.

a host from cnn or some station who is african american was saying he now has to answer no sir yes sir when talking to a cop and that he shouldnt have to

he is right, he shouldnt have to but what happened to showing respect?

a cop pulls me over i say yes sir no sir

i see someone elderly struggling to reach something on a shelf i have stopped and said let me help you sir/ma'am

talking to people who are older than and i dont know their name i address them as sir or ma'am

not because i am scared for my life but because i show respect to those who deserve it
