Dude, Will Smith was out of line, I've already said so!
But, you personally exploited the incident and turned the incident into a racist generalization and "Do BLACK people have restraint" argument to deliberately stir up the pot and incite hatred!

So you give a shit about the motivation behind the attack?

Sadly there is more than a grain of truth in that, ask yourself why blacks riot and loot so often.

OK! That deserves an answer!
But, it also deserves another question first- "Why do so many Black People get shot and killed by policemen during police stops, arrests, and Police Home Invasions"?
The deadly shootings of unarmed Black men and women by police officers in the U.S. have increasingly garnered worldwide attention over the last few years. The 2014 killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., sparked a week of protests that catapulted the Black Lives Matter movement into the national spotlight. Since then, tens of thousands of people across the country have taken to the streets to protest police brutality of Blacks by mostly white officers.
Since 2015, police officers have fatally shot at least 135 unarmed Black men and women nationwide, an NPR investigation has found. NPR reviewed police, court and other records to examine the details of the cases. At least 75% of the officers were white. The latest one happened this month in Killeen, Texas, when Patrick Warren Sr., 52, was fatally shot by an officer responding to a mental health call.
For at least 15 of the officers, such as McMahon, the shootings were not their first — or their last, NPR found. They have been involved in two — sometimes three or more — shootings, often deadly and without consequences.
Those who study deadly force by police say it's unusual for officers to be involved in any shootings.
"Many officers will go their entire career without shooting — sometimes without pulling their gun out at all," said Peter Scharf, a criminologist and professor in the School of Public Health at Louisiana State University and co-author of The Badge and the Bullet: Police Use of Deadly Force. "It's rare."
Not every law enforcement agency releases detailed information about police shootings. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department, for example, refused to release specifics such as officer names or their race, citing open investigations.
Still, NPR reviewed thousands of pages of job applications, personnel records, use-of-force reports, citizen complaints, court records, lawsuits, news releases, witness statements and local and state police investigative reports to examine the backgrounds of the officers and analyze details of each shooting. We also interviewed use of force experts, criminologists, police, lawyers, prosecutors and relatives of victims.
Among NPR's other findings:
At least six officers had troubled pasts before being hired onto police departments, including drug use and domestic violence. One officer had been fired from another law enforcement agency, and at least two others were forced out.
Several officers were convicted of crimes while on the force, such as battery, and resisting and obstructing, but kept their jobs. In one instance, officials in a tiny Louisiana parish repeatedly fired and rehired a deputy who got into trouble with the law: three times over 30 years, records show.
More than two dozen officers have racked up citizen complaints or use-of-force incidents. A Fort Lauderdale, Fla., police officer had 82 reviews over use-of-force incidents but was never found in violation; a Vineland, N.J., officer had more than three dozen use-of-force incidents over a five-year period.
Several officers have violated their department policies and been cited for ethics violations, including a Hollywood, Fla., officer accused of trying to steer business to his company, and an Arizona state trooper accused of misuse of state property.
Nineteen of the officers involved in deadly shootings were rookies, with less than a year on the force. One was on the job for four hours, another for four days. More than a quarter of the killings occurred during traffic stops, and 24 of the dead — 18% — suffered from mental illness. The youngest person shot was a 15-year-old Balch Springs, Texas, high school freshman who played on the football team. The oldest was a 62-year-old man killed in his Los Angeles County home. Nearly 60% of the shootings occurred in the South, with more than a quarter in Texas, Georgia and Louisiana, NPR found.
The killings have led to at least 30 judgments and settlements totaling more than $142 million, records show. Dozens of lawsuits and claims are pending.
An examination of individual cases reveals the myriad ways that law enforcement agencies fail to hold officers accountable and allow them to be in a position to shoot again. In many instances, the criminal justice system refuses to prosecute, often resulting in departments putting officers back on the street instead of desk jobs where they have little contact with the public. Other times, police unions protect officers from accountability. And sometimes, departments are so desperate to recruit officers that they ignore warning signs such as an officer's troubled past and hire them anyway.
For many examples- https://www.npr.org/2021/01/25/9561...narmed-black-people-reveal-troubling-patterns
It's not race, it's about income level*. Ask yourself who is rioting and why? I doubt very many of them are middle-class college graduates.
*the income level is said to be racial but I have mixed opinions on that view.

NPR has seemingly changed their minds, I wonder if you can do likewise?

You should have checked the dates of those NPR Peer-Review studies!
The one I posted is from January 2021, and your peer-review by the same Peer-Group is dated 2019!
So the Peer-review I posted superseded the one you posted and is the newest updated opinions of the Peer-Group!
Sorry, but you should have checked the dates!
SO the question becomes- CAN YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND BASED ON THE NEWEST REVIEW?

I noticed that, thanks all the same, different authors. The one you posted is the usual left wing whitewash, mine is a rare moment of honesty from NPR. You can bullshit all you want but there's no doubt that the Left pointblank refuses to accept reality. You won't accept, of course, that 13% of the population causes a majority of the murders in the US.

If the Will Smith slapping of Chris Rock was actually a shoot and not a work.
and I'm still not sure that it was,
I thought it was more than adequately proved.
I can't understand why so many people have a problem with it.
Maybe it's another symptom of "woke" lunacy.
Truth be told, I really don't understand why these "stand up" assholes don't get cuffed routinely.
From the beginning of time, running off your mouth was a likely way to get yourself walloped.

Yet Hunter Biden is your business.
That concerns National Security, so yes, that's everybody's business.

Dude, Smith proved himself a thin-skinned dude that couldn't control himself. I'm disappointed. Chris Rock is still a man.
Idk if you ever watched any Dean Martin roasts but a lot of worse stuff was said then and nobody lost their cool and did anything like that.

Don't disagree with that, Will Smith was a total arsehole and should have been expelled from the building. His wife is an odious witch, what he sees in her I cannot fathom.

Guano is always alluding to his 'education'. Yet the poor sap cannot even differentiate between singular and plural.

She mothered all of his children? Why is everybody hating on her?
She instigated it? Well, she just cost her man a lot with that bad decision.
I feel just like my cousin I talked to today about that: That ain't none of my business and it don't make my world go 'round ary a bit.
It has nothing to do with us.
We're just some crackers, cooking, taking care of our family, doing chores, business, and living real life, not fake Hollywood life.
It don't mean a thing in our world.
Now them gas and diesel and food prices do..
Will Smith can slap 30 motherfuckers and it doesn't change ary a thing 'round heanh.

A revered role model, especially for blacks, commits a violent act on stage which is seen all around the world and you say it's nothing to do with us.

Two out of three, Trey Smith, 29, is Will Smith's Son. He is the child of Will Smith and Sheree Zampino.
