Quite so many?? More whites have been killed just the past 5 years yet you don’t see us (I’m half-white/Latino) demanding they be defunded or disbanded, that’s lunacy!

Because defunding goes towards salaries, equipment/protection and workforce. If you’re going to force someone to work longer hours at a lower salary doing an already dangerous job (you want to work the beat in Chicago, detroit, Baltimore, etc. at night?) why would you bother?

This was the problem in Ferguson, they asked local POCs to sign up and join and heard a resounding chrous of “Nope”. People love to trash the police until finally asked to stand up and self-police their neighborhoods.

Honest question, if the person in question was also drunk could it still be construed as such if they themselves weren’t aware of your condition or theirs either? Granted rape can mean multiple things, so even if they were drunk per se, “performance issues” wouldn’t necessarily keep one from being accused, i.e. used…

There’s no “history” being made here, not a thing will change. You thing pouring even MORE funds into poor black communities will magically solve your issues?? What will that do for school truancy which is highest in the black community? What will that do to absolve your low marital rates and highest single parent…

So they posted a picture about “looting”...when there was no actual looting? Ever been to a baseball game, and all of the trash left behind? They have actual EMPLOYEES that get paid to pick this stuff up, looting a store that even if insured, has shown to devastate that area for years to come. You loot a Target, you…

You DO realize that the clerk that called 911 was on record stating he appeared drunk and not himself, right?

True, esp. because of the back issues and possibly tired of unwanted attention it brings.

...manboobs? Defined pecs?

Baden has committed MANY errors, including on the Michael Brown case.

I’m not sure where you’re going with this, you’re trying to gain sympathy for someone who did a decade stint for weapons charges, MURDERED someone that same day (!) and even posted online the day before he planned suicide by cop! Worse he was jumped by four black males yet all you care about is pointing out the white…

Your first sentence rings hollow if only because Obama dealt with MULTIPLE riots during the course of his presidency and I don’t recall him really putting anything in place to rectify the issues. The one thing that clearly stood out to me was when police officers agreed to stand down in Ferguson because they felt they…

But if I’m not mistaken isn’t it more important that the charge get a more likely conviction? I mean, it was understood that 3rd degree would be far easier to prove, and now that it’s 2nd degree the hill is much higher for “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

People have always interpreted BLM under a racial microscope, most felt that it was a response, almost as if it was the ending of a point: “I know that your life matters but so do Black Lives Matter!”

Meh, you guys love to rag on my Asian brethren for identifying as white or acting white when it suits the agenda, now they got your back and it’s all cool?
