Are Cons Coming to Terms With Racism in American Policing?

You just can't keep from putting words in my mouth. Where did I say racism is over? And don't give me 'oh but you imply it Darth, crap.

And yes, you sloughed off 'pigs in a blanket' in a manner you never would a solitary Confederate flag at a Tea Party rally, so you can save the debate board posturing for someone who will buy it.

I just love the "don't put words in my mouth," while you're putting words in my mouth.

I have viewed the video from all angles, and don't see how anyone can believe what happened was murder. The videos do not tell us that. I have never been racist, and have taught my kids not to be racist. But if one lives close to communities with a large concentration of minorities, it is enough to shy away from accepting the militant violent actions of so many. My life is important, as much so as any other minority and the Black Lives Count message has been tainted by their getting angry at "All Lives Matter." That is where I get of the bus; I am assumed to be racist before I even become known to them.

"The fact is that over 6,000 blacks die of homicide each year. That is more than white and Hispanic homicide victims combined, even though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population. And the reason they are dying of homicide at a rate six times higher than whites and Hispanics combined is because they commit homicide at eight times the rate higher than whites and Hispanics combined. And that type of crime disparity means that when the police are trying to save lives, they are in minority neighborhoods confronting people engaged in drive‑by shootings, killing children.

True! Blacks kill more blacks than any other group. http://www.dailywire.com/news/7264/5-statistics-you-need-know-about-cops-killing-aaron-bandler Some may argue that these statistics are evidence of racist treatment toward blacks, since whites consist of 62 percent of the population and blacks make up 13 percent of the population. But as MacDonald writes in The Wall Street Journal, 2009 statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties.

RUSH: Heather, you've just alluded to something that's highly politically incorrect. You've just given numbers, hard evidence, on what is called black-on-black crime. You're not supposed to mention that during incidents like this because the only thing you're supposed to talk about, Heather, is how vicious racist white cops are hunting down innocent black men in neighborhoods. That's the narrative. That's what inner-city youths are being taught. That's what they're being told.

MAC DONALD: Rush, here's another very politically incorrect fact, and I don't want to racialize policing, people should not. But if we're going to talk about race and policing, let's talk about cop killings. Over the last decade, black males made up 40 percent of all cop killers, even though they're six percent of the population. It turns out, Rush, that a police officer is 18-and-a-half times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is likely to be killed by a police officer.

A big part of why this issue never advances is because it's always about what cops [or white people] are doing wrong; and rarely, if ever, what the black community can do about it.

If police officers behave differently in black communities maybe it has to do with the fact the officer is 18 times more likely to be a victim of violence than the black person is.

Maybe white cops should try and know what it is to be black, but that street runs both ways.[/QUOTE]

Oh, good, maybe the authorities will call you in as an expert witness.

Its possible. As a psychologist I have studied what some people call police brutality, and the statistics prove that most of those claims are bogus. For sure there are such claims which are true, but the statistical analysis of Police proves that only .5% do bad things and 99.5% are good police. The claims that many police are corrupt or engaged in misconduct are nothing but phony exaggerations from people who approach the subject with a gonadal approach.

...and 99.5% of cops will protect and cover up the misdeeds of their brothers in blue, who go astray.

From what I saw, physical resistance of arrest after police were called about him having and waving a gun. What would you do if you were in a fight and your opponent tried to go for a gun? Let him kill you?
