yeah you're right, black kids born in the ghetto have as much chance to succeed as anyone else and to insinuate otherwise is racist, yep you're 100% right we should prolly ditch affirmative action too while we're at it bc it's reverse racism right?

But in all honesty would we miss any of those states if they just up and left the union? I say we start punishing entire states.

No to the robot (that actually just happened I think) but maybe the bullet. It would have to be really big though. And the gun it came out of should be big too. Or really small. That contrast would be funny.

Other countries have armed police and have far fewer problems with said armed police. I think the state of police in America today are the result of decades of various social factors and the worsening wealth disparities do little to help alleviate both the factors underlying police violence and the problem itself. Basically, the US has a lot of baggage surrounding race, class, regionalism, and other poo poo that they need to address. It's all pretty lovely but no matter who wins in 2016 - probably Clinton- things don't seem like their going to get better.

It's poo poo like this which makes other countries worry about the militarisation of our own police forces, though. At least the actions of ours are somewhat related because our police are state/federal level organisations. Here you've got a situation where the actions of a police force which operates at local government level can set off a domino effect across the whole country.

I'm seriously having trouble wrapping my head around how a local chain of command decides that a military response like this is appropriate in a civilian policing situation, and I dread to think what the fallout is going to be. It has never ended well in the past and I can't see it being different this time.

But yes, those who say that we can't understand because we don't live in the US - and in the cities with deep racial divides in particular - are right. We can't. We can still be horrified, though, and we can use the US experience as a lesson in where we don't want to end up.

it's not because they are black, retard, it's because they live in crushing poverty with very little hope of advancement unless it is dealing drugs or rapping or playing sports for the white man's entertainment

put any other race in that same situation and they'll have high crime rates.

thus the solution is not just police them more brutally, but fix the US economy and even the playing field for the disenfranchised. but you're a racist and you don't really want that, you want an easy dogwhistle.

it actually has a lot to do with race and saying "it's about class not race" or that promoting class equality will fix our country's racial problems ignores a huge part of the issue

quote:

BRISTOL, TENN.—Authorities in Tennessee say a man who opened fire on a highway in Tennessee targeted police officers and others because he was troubled by incidents involving black people and law enforcement officers.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says in a news release that initial conversations with the suspect, identified as Lakeem Keon Scott revealed he was troubled by incidents across the U.S. The TBI says the suspect is black; the shooting victims are all white.

Investigators say Scott killed one person and wounded three others, including a police officer. Scott had two guns early Thursday morning when he shot at a motel in Bristol, Tennessee, and then shot indiscriminately at several passing cars. When he was confronted by police, he fired at the three officers who responded.

The suspect was shot by the officers and is being treated at a hospital. He has not yet been charged.

no poo poo there's a lot of systemic racism in the system, but that's not what other poster was saying homie.

and economic empowerment would still fix a lot of that racial poo poo - yeah white people would still hate black people but the point was never to get the oppressor to like you. the point is to make it so the oppressor has no real power over you, thus the economics.
