Megan-Rapinoe - media ho

If you took the time to look at what was provided, you could see that the race most likely to kill whites is whites, and the ethnicity most likely to kill hispanics is hispanics. Maybe it is because in our traditionally-divided society the most people within shooting range of a person tend to be of the same race or ethnicity.

This fact is probably more germane to the discussion about the national anthem protests -- "although black men represent 6 percent of the U.S. population, they made up nearly 40 percent of those who were killed [by police] while unarmed".

It is good that you recognize your own errors. It is not so good that you try to blame it on others.

Once again, following the "liberal playbook"... Shift the subject into an entirely different direction rather than address the issue at hand.

Oh BTW, nice job stereotyping me based upon little information than a post of the facts.

I have not watched the video but I did look at her picture and she looks like she should be teaching kindergarten somewhere. All the lives ruined by a mistake,what a shame all the way around. I am assuming she didn't plan on killing anyone when she went to work that day.

Of course not and why she was charged with manslaughter vs 1st degree murder.

Um, Kap protesting the National Anthem is the subject matter. He is protesting white cops killing unarmed black men. Not who are killing black men, so E's post is spot on.

Liberal playbook? You must be new here. I'm the oldest conservative on the forum.

And how exactly did I stereotype you?

@NoGoal - I know it was just an oversight on your part, but let's not forget the unarmed Black women. #SandraBland

She wasn't shot, she was just roughed up for driving while smoking (and not showing proper respect to a white police officer). Meanwhile, the cop who arrested her has been fired and charged with perjury, and the county has agreed to a large cash payment after being sued. The coroner ruled her death by hanging a suicide, and one of the pieces of evidence presented by the authorities was a video recorded by a jail security camera - with 90 minutes missing from the middle.

Bland is still dead.

To a certain degree, maybe. Did you ask yourself why E did not mention that black people kill more black people than anyone else?
I did.
Its because he is patronizing a specific group of people to gain some kind of acceptance? I dont know, maybe Im wrong, but he does this alot, and its weird.
I dont give a crap what anyone thinks, Im gonna call BS when I see it.
He's right about how murders are committed within specific races bye and large, but his 6% claim is deceptive.
I could post pie charts, and go down the list of why he's wrong, but it doesnt really matter.
Nobody here will listen to anything but their own BS.

Im sorry I even got into this horse shit thread.

Well at least the female Tulsa police officer was charge with manslaughter today.

This shooting was bad, as far as I can tell.
She should face charges.

Its very rare today that a cop kills someone without cause.
I say this having not enjoyed a good relationship with cops in the past, but the numbers do not lie.
When you look at arrests and interactions and divide it with cops shooting people its about as low a number as I could expect.
 
If "Kap" really cared about all those people with their fists in the air, lighting fires, attacking people, and chanting racist slogans, he'd stand up, and tell them to go home, and take care of their families.
He'd stand up and say he was wrong about dividing people, and disrespecting the country we were all born and raised in.
Imagine the impact that would have.

Thats what a leader would do.
Maybe thats why hes on the bench.

Why would he protest something that hardly ever happens?
Does it happen?, yes. Do cops shoot people armed, and unarmed without sufficient cause? Yes,. on rare occasion.
Do you have any idea how many people they could or would shoot if there actually was a "war on black people" by the cops?
The whole BLM movement is complete bullshit.
 
It's only a little over 4mins for the actual video. The words are powerful. Hopefully it makes anyone wishing to kneel during the National Anthem thinks twice. Do we have a right to protest? Absolutely. The country is so screwed up right now. There are bad apples in every bunch. Creating more chaos and uprising is counter-productive. EVERYONE should be held accountable for their actions. If you are breaking the law and are shot by police because you refuse to drop your weapon then that's the path you choose. If it's not a "clean shoot" then by all means the officer(s) should be held accountable.
But as someone with family in FD/PD and prior/current military..if you think making a statement by protesting the National Anthem is the way to do it you are WRONG!! So many have come and gone before you and given everything to allow you to have the rights you have in this country. If you thinks it's that bad you can try living in some other country and see the limits of your rights there. I personally think Kap is an idiot (as is any other professional athlete) who is willing to take the american dollar..but not willing to stand for the NA. I'm bothered even more by Rapinoe in the fact that she represents the USWNT. Whatever demographic you represent..if you aren't happy with the way things are you can either be part of the problem or part of the solution. My .02
 
She can't be charged with 1st degree murder. Unless they can prove she started her shift with the intent to go out and kill someone.
1st degree is pre-meditated. She gets charged with manslaughter.

And yes, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides recorded in the data between 1980 and 2008.

You think the two are related?

Interesting read here: http://www.newsweek.com/racial-makeup-police-departments-331130


What I find interesting is the media considers this the hot topic and it isn't even close to what will really kill you, no matter what your race, sex, or age is. I know many don't consider Abortion a death, so you can skip the top one if you feel that way.

Shouldn't we be seeing front page news on medical errors(my sister died because of this) or Tobacco, or Drunk driving, Poisoning, or any number of ways people die that easily outnumber the 986 people that police shot in 986(https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...c7a404-b3c5-11e5-a76a-0b5145e8679a_story.html).

Think a nurse is ever charged with first degree manslaughter for her mistake? 130 times as likely to happen as a police shooting. Any charges for corporate america regarding cigarettes? 180 times as likely to happen. Think about that. Also remember you are almost as likely to be killed by your spouse as you are to be shot by a cop. See what happens when soccer rules your life.
