I guess that tells you a lot about people 'learning' their 'facts' from internet memes and twitter feedsExcept this set of statistics is hardly open to much interpretation. This was a simple question of how many black people were killed by police in the US this year. @JL2020 claimed, with no proof whatsoever, that it was only 8. The site linked to above gives a fully-sourced figure of 111 killed by shooting alone.
so thats approx 1 in 7.5 unarmed whites killed and about 1 in 4.5 unarmed blacks give or take.This is a graph of armed / unarmed deaths from 2013 to 2019.

I heard Morgan Freeman talking recently, he was saying that he disagrees with the BLM movement and disagrees that blacks are oppressed. Basically he thinks that if you work hard like he did then you can achieve anything.
I have a problem with that attitude and find it hard to agree with the 'American dream' they seem to talk so much about over there.
If you are born into the projects with no father figure, a mother who is addicted to drugs and no education what chance have you got really? There's probably 1 in a thousand who go on to play in the NFL/ NBA. Not every kid can become a Hollywood actor or politician. This idea that people are struggling in life because they don't work hard enough is moronic and something I don't like about the 'American dream'.
To be a great country surely you should be looking after the most vulnerable in society which they don't do in America, look at the levels of homelessness in some of the big cities its a disgrace. We aren't much better though in Britain.
JL, if all the violence its purely down to the protestors, why is it that as soon as the federal troops were withdrawn, calm returned to the streets of Portland?
Portland protests continue Friday but clashes are absent
Calm returns to Portland as federal troops withdraw
total arrests is dubious statistic to use. There is no indication if that person was charged and found guilty.
Just out
Look mate I’ve said what I’ve had to say and posted multiple videos of protestor violence where there isn’t a cop in sight. There were clashes in Portland between the protestors on Friday night I think, one of the protestors ended up stabbed.
agreed, he has a prejudice, seemingly of 'looney lefties', which is of course just an alliteration that is meant to undermine the concept of empathy. The BLM movement is of course a left supported movement, and in fact it is fair to see a right opposed movement. There has been 400 years of peaceful efforts to stop racism in the US, it hasn't worked. But still 99% of the protesters are peaceful. The reality is that our friend here, doesn't have empathy for the victims of racism, and doesn't feel think they should have motivation to revolt.You're making the same conclusion that many have made with regard to football fans.
Countless videos out there so you're a hooligan.
**** sake it was from fbi statistics I clearly got it wrong and it was 8 ‘unarmed’ black deaths.I guess that tells you a lot about people 'learning' their 'facts' from internet memes and twitter feeds
There was one week where virtually every big city in America had violent protests with looting and destruction, I’ve provided enough evidence and it’s only the tip of the ice berg. We’re going round in circles now, I’ve explained my opinion of things and I’m leaving it at that.You're making the same conclusion that many have made with regard to football fans.

well that wasn't what you said, and I'm still not sure that your figure is correct**** sake it was from fbi statistics I clearly got it wrong and it was 8 ‘unarmed’ black deaths.
We are, as I pointed out earlier you have made your beliefs known, they're somewhere between ridiculous, bat ****, repugnant and ignorant, but that's for you to own not me.There was one week where virtually every big city in America had violent protests with looting and destruction, I’ve provided enough evidence and it’s only the tip of the ice berg.

Did BLM write that vandalism, no. The BLM movement cannot be responsible for every action of every person that follows their cause. Now if you have evidence of the organisers and owners of BLM saying somethings racist, show me. Otherwise your post is just nonsense.BLM is the most racist movement - Yes it is
Totally rejected by both my eyes, and the second independent autopsy. If he died from a cardiac arrest that wasn't caused by the police then why did they get arrested? We both know the answer to this, but only I will dare articulate, they were racist filth and they killed him, in cold blood. Continuing to apply pressure to him even after he was unconcious. Don't you dare try and excuse these peopleGeorge Floyd died through cardiac arrest through drug taking - SECONDLY it isn’t ME saying he died of cardiac arrest it’s his autopsy report.
Fentanyl is over the counter and as common as co-codamol is here, it's irrelevantyou can also see the toxicology reports showing the fentanyl in his system.
So if that wasn't your intended meaning, why even bring it up? Even though it's a conspiracy theory. It's clear what you were alludingGeorge Floyd and chauvin worked together in a counterfeit money business - Ok so did I say that or did I say “They both worked at the same club for almost 20 years that was possibly involved in counterfeit money”? Please do NOT twist my words to try and benefit my own arguments, I haven’t done it to you.
Look back, you posted a link and introduced it with "here’s a trans protestor getting arrested for defacing property, claiming assault and brutality.". What has her sex or gender got to do with anything, it's irrelevant to the protest? The allusion is that being transgender is some kind of problem to you.The gender and sex are relevant to a protestor - seriously where the **** do I even mention this?
"A Black Lives Matter Philadelphia representative ", but not a member of BLM leadership then, because they don't advocate no police, they don't advocate police having tanks, and instead of buying tanks put the money into social systems. I'm sure you could read that if you wanted ti.The aim of BLM is to get rid of all police - “ One of the things that we are demanding over five years is the complete abolition. We don’t want to see any police in our community,”

Because it's not fit for purpose and they want to dismantle and recreate a new police force, it's broken. They are not saying zero police though.Why have Minneapolis council members voted to abolish their police force?
Abolishing police
No, it highlights an individual issue, that is real. I'm sure they want all police to behave with everyone, but their area of focus is on the racism they are and have received their entire lives.BLM are framing it that only blacks are killed by police - They are, obviously THERES no ‘proof’ of this as in the end it comes from opinion. But the fact that they constantly talk about cops being ‘white supremacists morning and racist to me implies they don’t even consider cops kill whites.
Ah I can't do this anymore, racists gonna be racist, even ones that don't think they are. You asked me to back up the claim that the KKK and police have killed thousands of people over 400 years.....if you don't believe that, then that's fine, you've outed yourselfI’m not arguing any longer with your ridiculous nit picking verging on troll like arguments. You cant be reasoned with, you’re still complaining that I had the nerve to ask you to back up ONE claim you made which you still haven’t done. Hopefully the manage to get one state to have their social and community workers instead of police and you can go and live there with them in your utopia. F***ing ridiculous.
doesn't even recognise that they are either, that's the astounding part. I'm blocking people that don't believe that racism exists in america, despite never having lived there and there being reams of evidence. It's pointless discussing with themFull on racist this JL thing. One that Farage created. Reminds me of Boro1970 or that Gene Vincent who also posted on the old board.
