ozmunkeh posted:Naah, outside of a few shows NPR is pretty bad. Their news output is particularly awful. By what metric? NPR is no perfect media institution but I can't think of a national news organization doing daily news I would call clearly superior. Sure there are specific institutions that do better work (e.g. pro publica) but I honestly can't think of any that do the daily beat.

WoodrowSkillson posted:It's true though, its just that we are so insanely racist that these poorly trained, out of control cops are executing black men even more than anyone else. Not denying that. Racism is the reason that the victims are disproportionately black (well, some credit goes to the connection between race and poverty, but that in itself is because of racism) But it shouldn't be happening at all. I don't think there's a way to get rid of racism through policy, so maybe we can try to switch to de-escalation based policing instead of officer-safety-first?

Don't remember seeing it posted here but I saw on a lobby TV on the way back from the bathroom that they confirmed the shooter was deployed to Afghanistan. Sorry if that's a repeat - I've been skimming

There are also several pictures of him in his military uniform. The media has chosen to post pictures of him in a dashiki for some reason. We'll never know why.

Armyman25 posted:The US Army, by act of Congress, the Posse Comitatus Act, is not allowed to act as law enforcement within the United States of America. This sounds good until you realize that it was passed to stop the Union Army from enforcing reconstruction in the south. Once Federal troops were removed Jim Crow really went into full swing. This is interesting, thanks. Even though we really should have done more for Reconstruction, I ultimately feel the Posse Comitatus Act was the right choice.

Should the protesters who got shot have known and accepted the risk than to be in a BLM protest is to risk getting shot by anti-cop attackers?

The dude NRP dragged out to talk about it kept saying that you, the accused, need to make sure the officer feels "in control." This is the loving problem. We need to reverse course on thinking that police are the ones we need to make sure feel comfortable and in control.

That's...a fair point, but I'm mad about bad statistics so I'm going to keep banging the drum for my cause of choice. http://www.npr.org/2015/09/17/441196546/is-there-a-war-on-police-the-statistics-say-no quote:When we're talking about 780,000 state and local police officers who are interacting with people on 67 million occasions every year," quote:In 2014, the year of the Ferguson protests and increased media attention on police misconduct, 51 officers were killed nationwide. The fun thing to me is the ratio - a police interaction in 2014 had a fatality rate of slightly under 1 in a million. Yet the narrative is "they put their lives on the line every day". Truck drivers are 3 times as likely to be killed on the job as a uniformed officer.
