Re my comments on another thread re 'blurred lines' re definitions of racism....

... Racism at its 'Finest'!!! :

Even if they had a history of fraudulent cheques being presented, why not simply call the employer who issued the cheque rather than the police (who did exactly that to resolve the situation.)

*****!!

Some US network should commission a weekly show highlighting absurd examples of inherent racism like they do with those videos of drunk/reckless/ driving documentaries along the lines of - ".... and look at these idiots....!!)

 

Whilst I agree there is a massive racism problem in the USA.. you can only assume it in this case? It does say at the bottom that there have been 10 other calls to police, that all resulted in arrests? It does not mention race at all?

 

Apart from a news site randomly pointing out the man's skin colour what is there to even suggest this was related to racism?

 

Even over here in the UK it's obvious you can see racial profiling is prevalent in America. Just look at their police

 

The facts don't back that statement up though

 

Just saying, if you want to see how bad it is, look no further than the countless hours of footage of how their coppers operate.

 

Which countless hours of footage is that?

 

They tend to shoot and kill plenty of black men, usually on their 'cell' phones which apparently look like a gun even when they are running away with their back turned. There are countless videos of said happenings and very over the top beatings.

This statement is just as true

 

Black people are disproportionately likely to get shot by the police in America.

 

I very much doubt the statistics would bear that out

 

Poor people are more likely to be shot by police because they have more encounters with the police. A disproportionate amount of black people are extremely poor.

Black people are statistically more likely to disobey commands from police officers (due to the above reasons).

Black people who comply with commands are proven not to be shot any more than white people.

White males are statistically the demographic killed by police far more than any other section of society.

 

Highly doubt anything you want. Feel free to put a few seconds effort in doing actual research and then come back to me with more than a guess or a doubt

 

You do some research pillock, there's hours and hours of footage showing exactly how blacks are treated in America

 

There's hours and hours of footage of people of all colours being treated like that by police in America. Why are you refusing to believe that?

 

So come back with facts to back it up

 

They might be in terms of simple numbers, but proportionately they aren't.

 

A white man was killed by police on Tuesday in pennyslvania
A white man was killed by police on Monday in california
A white man was killed by police on Sunday in Oklahoma
A white man was killed by police on Sunday in Ohio
A white man was kiilled by police on Saturday in New York

I'm sure you'll understand why I can't be bothered to Google news reports of people being shot by police more than a week ago. The facts prove that police in America are extremely trigger happy? They also prove that white males are the demographic killed most

 

As explained by the fact that people from poverty turn to crime more often and have more encounters with police something which I'm struggling to se why you are denying

 

I'm not denying that socio economic factors are relevant, but simply saying "White men are the demographic killed most" is facile
