I think those cops kill unarmed black people because they're scared to death of blacks. But if they're unarmed and old, what's there to be afraid of? |

It's the young black people that are the problem. Seriously and this is not a race thing (for me). Most every day my news reports shootings. It's almost always blacks shooting blacks. These damn idiots seem to live in a war....always shooting each other. When a cop shoots a black, it's so sad. We see the parents sitting in their living room crying and hold up some picture of their "nice" boy. That evil cop shot their nice son. Most times, their "nice boy" was an evil punk, always into trouble, and probably threatened the cop in some way. Naturally, mom will cry about her cute little innocent boy. Trump said we need "Law and Order." Again, I'll say this...it's not going to happen until we start eliminating all the proven troublemakers. 3 strikes and you're out. You've proven yourself to be a constant threat to society. No jail sentence and appeals anymore, no tough guy running a prison...just instant death right outside of the courtroom. No punishment (like life in prison is worse than death). Just eliminate the problem immediately. It's more humane than life in prison, eh? |

Most of the shootings and killings. Naturally the cops will be uneasy with dealing with a black person, especially at night. It's always a call to determine if that person is armed or not. |

Yes, and I there is a serious problem with racist attitudes on the part of those young black men. There was an incident last week where an unarmed black man was shot after his car stalled. I don't know what went on there but I have to wonder why the car was stalled straddling the centre line of the road and why the guy walked back to the car when the cops were telling him something else. The more recent one was unfortunate. Sure the guy was unarmed, but he had had his hands in his pocket, refused to take them out, and then yanked something out of his pocket and took a shooting stance. That was a crazy thing to do, and apparently the guy did have mental problems. That kid in Ferguson was not an innocent victim and the eyewitness account by a guy who turned out to be his accomplice in a robbery was a crock of shit. He said the cop grabbed his friend and tried to wrestle him into the car. I cannot believe a cop would try to detain someone by trying to pull him into the car. Besides, his account failed to mention that they were walking away from a robbery. It was a small time one, but he had bullied the store owner who tried to stop him from stealing a box of cigars. Shortly after that was a case of a big fat guy taken down with a choke hold while resisting arrest for selling bootleg cigarettes, for which he had been convicted something like 30 times previously. Only a very very small percentage of male black homicide victims are shot by cops. It is more like a fraction of a percentage. While the claim to be victims of the police most of the black community are victims of these thugs. > > These damn idiots seem to live in a war....always shooting each other. > When a cop shoots a black, it's so sad.

They are disenfranchised and they need someone to blame for their problems. Many of them are raised in poverty and there is not a stable family life. They don't buy into what they see as white values, like an education. Then they can't get a good job because they don't have a diploma, but it is all the white man's fault. > No punishment (like life in prison is worse than death). Just eliminate > the problem immediately. It's more humane than life in prison, eh? Really? Given the fact that blacks are disproportionately represented in prison, and that such a high percentage of black men have criminal records, that kind of thinking will only be seen as racist, especially in the black community. |

Racism and poverty. If someone is racist they are generally prejudiced against all people of colour. For some reason, natives and blacks tend to remain at the bottom of the social ladder and complain the most about racism. Meanwhile, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis and many other dark skinned people come to North America and buy into the system that leads to successful careers. There have been a lot of people who came over here with very little, got entry level jobs and worked their way to success. |

I'd rather see some aggressive low-life die than a policeman. But some cases were crazy.
