People are protesting the Minnesota incident in my town in Michigan that is only 4% Black

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

We did support it until they started burning down entire cities. You left out that little detail.

Most of the people are peacefully protesting though. That is the majority.

"Just this month, the Bureau of Justice Statistics released its 2018 survey of criminal victimization. According to the study, there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations (excluding homicide) between blacks and whites last year, including white-on-black and black-on-white attacks. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90 percent, and whites committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10 percent. "

This needs to be spread because there is no excuse for this and the community is NOT being held accountable. Instead Police which can be of all races (maybe majority white) but not over 80% are being blamed.

There were people climbing on police cars and stomping on them last night. They were also hollering at them and being confrontational. You can even see that in the video I posted.

Fuck them. Those dumbasses should be shamed. Luckily the majority of them seemed rather peaceful so good on them.

Meh, the vast majority of white people just don't really give a meaningful fuck outside of one or two instagram posts. Hell, the vast majority of all races is the states are not out there protesting.

At least in an all white, middle class and up neighborhood there won't be much of any looting or destruction

 

[LangfordBarrow]

Its amazing to think what force does. If this was a non western country. Bullets would end all major protest. If police opened fire and broke skulls and impriosned. Very few would go out and riot or protest. They would be stuck to the internet

The price of freedom is destroyed cities

The internet would probably be cut off too.

Vast majority of people never protest for any cause / issue, it's always been that way.

 

[andnowweknow]

It's becoming more and more apparent that a lot of the rioting has very little to do with racial injustice, and a lot more to do with the societal shutdown. Poor people are looting shit because of poorness...and it ain't just black people looting.

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is an annual data collection conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). Each year, data are obtained from a nationally representative sample of about 240,000 interviews on criminal victimization, involving 160,000 unique persons in about 95, 000 households. Persons are interviewed on the frequency, characteristics, and consequences of criminal victimization in the United States. The NCVS collects information on nonfatal personal crimes (i.e., rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated and simple assault, and personal larceny) and household property crimes (i.e., burglary/trespassing, motor-vehicle theft, and other theft) both reported and not reported to police. In addition to providing annual level and change estimates on criminal victimization, the NCVS is the primary source of information on the nature of criminal victimization incidents.

Survey respondents provide information about themselves (e.g., age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, marital status, education level, and income) and whether they experienced a victimization. The NCVS collects information for each victimization incident about the offender (e.g., age, race and Hispanic origin, sex, and victim-offender relationship), characteristics of the crime (e.g., time and place of occurrence, use of weapons, nature of injury, and economic consequences), whether the crime was reported to police, reasons the crime was or was not reported, and victim experiences with the criminal justice system.

The NCVS is administered to persons age 12 or older from a nationally representative sample of households in the United States. The NCVS defines a household as a group of persons who all reside at a sampled address. Persons are considered household members when the sampled address is their usual place of residence at the time of the interview and when they have no usual place of residence elsewhere. Once selected, households remain in the sample for 3½ years, and eligible persons in these households are interviewed every 6 months, either in person or over the phone, for a total of seven interviews.

First interviews are typically conducted in person with subsequent interviews conducted either in person or by phone. New households rotate into the sample on an ongoing basis to replace outgoing households that have been in the sample for the 3½-year period. The sample includes persons living in group quarters (e.g., dormitories, rooming houses, and religious group dwellings) and excludes persons living on military bases and in institutional settings (e.g., correctional or hospital facilities) and persons who are homeless.

They did not want to use the actual statistics.

Victims

Victim types, collected for all reported NIBRS offenses, include individuals, businesses, institutions, or society as a whole. For 2018, the data regarding victims who were individuals revealed the following:

• Of the 4,720,900 individuals, 23.5 percent were between 21 and 30 years of age.
• A little more than half (51.1 percent) were female, 48.1 percent were male, and the gender of 0.8 percent of victims was unknown.
• Most victims (69.6 percent) were white, 21.6 percent were black or African-American, 1.9 percent were Asian, 0.7 percent were American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.4 percent were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. The race of 5.8 percent of victims was unknown.

Known Offenders

In 2018, law enforcement identified and reported information on 5,652,156 known offenders, meaning some aspect of the suspect—such as age, gender, or race—was known.

• Of these offenders, 40.2 percent were between 16 and 30 years of age.
• By gender, most offenders (61.5 percent) were male, 25.5 percent were female, and gender for 13.0 percent was unknown.
• By race, more than half (53.9 percent) of known offenders were white, 27.4 percent were black or African-American, and 2.2 percent were of other races. The race was unknown for 16.5 percent of reported known offenders.

The squeaky wheel is what gets the grease though, and this isn't good look as the people participating are getting associated with the left. Protesters burning down cities is going to leave a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouth. I think in the end this will result in more votes for Trump.

Why doesn’t the same work for the police though. Why aren’t they held to this standard.

A lot of tough talking. Most of who you’re referencing never had to worry at home, if they do what you’re talking about, they would cease living in America and only know a dark existence. Ask the law enforcement of the 60’s and 70’s.

I dont understand your point or what you are getting at. The sentence structure and message is obscured to me and off.

 

[brackis1]

Where are you going to find people that are not tired of police brutality? The country has been slowly turning into a police state since the 90s.

Here. It's a cop lover nazi paradise lol. New threads left and right with chaos porn and cheering anything against the protests.

The cops, etc you’re talking about ain’t built for what will happen if they tried to live out your fantasy.

Nothing wrong with people of different races standing together for the unjust killing of a black man. It's quite encouraging and necessary in inciting change. Most people of all races have been on board with prosecuting all the officers not just the one with his knee on George Floyd's neck who's been charged

That was until all the rioting and looting started. Now, the narrative changes and people start thinking twice about supporting a movement where people are being assaulted, are stealing, and burning businesses large and small. It's like kicking the shit out of the neighborhood bully and everyone is on your side cheering you on. Then afterwards, you start smacking the bully around, taking all his shit, and acting like a douchebag. Same folks will be cheering to see you get your ass whooped soon enough

That's the problem with these modern movements. No real leaders and no direction. That's why they don't know how to control these protests. They turned we want justice for a black man's murder to Fuck Trump and capitalism. Of course you are going to lose supporters with that type of dysfunction.

Wait a second.

You mean throwing flash grenades into a residential neighborhood and firing paint balls and rubber balls into random crowds are a bad idea?

How else are the police supposed to take control? The protesters are breaking the law. What they are doing is illegal. There is no other way than to fire tear gas into a crowd with elderly people in it.

By not creating the conditions in the first place that would make people riot. You don't need a paramilitary force if citizenry accept how law is enforced.

You don't understand. They are breaking the law. The police have no choice. Should they bake cookies too?

Come on.....

I don't know if my sarcasm at the goofs on this board is coming thru enough. One particular goof who is a mod who made this extremely dumb argument with me last night.

 

[Bargey]

White people be like "gotta protest for the black people."

Devastating facts there but then you’ll get these lying little racebaiting scumbags like Don Lemon and Charlamagne tg pretending that these basic statistics are somehow false and racist.
