I have no idea what “do something” means at this point. The police are operating exactly the way they were always meant to. Our lives are not valued. Sometimes it’s just...tiring.

The only solution is for the police not to carry guns.

I love how dude right beside him gives him that “wait a minute, wait a damn minute...WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING” look. This is my new favorite thing of 2016.

Jesus, glad you’re alive but so sorry you had to experience that. Nightmare.

Send it into their tips or drop box!

My friend and I on launch night (we are both white) took walks to go catch Pokémon and we went through a church parking lot and into the back of a convenience store and I thought “we look weird as white men, imagine if we were black”

It’s amazing that this medium uniquely allows us to inhabit characters and experience alternate realities, while a huge portion of its most vocal supporters refuse the see beyond the end of their own noses. And get offended at the mere suggestion that they ought to.

And there are 5x more white people in the country. So the statistic you just cited means black people are almost 3x more likely to be shot by the police.

I love articles like these, reminding me just how bigoted kotaku readers are

You are seriously underestimating what black people feel afraid of.

This is gonna be one of those comment sections, so I just want to say I appreciate you sharing with your experience and hope things get better.

Agreed. He’s not saying Pokemon Go is bad or wrong, he’s just pointing out that loitering and wandering around with your phone like a creeper is more dangerous for a black person than a white person.

I was gonna write “inb4 all the ignorant and racist bullshit” but there’s already a “fuck off” comment, so I guess I’m too late.

I get that jinni is your friend, but her comments on the death of Castile implied that the shooting of the officers was more important. It was demanding and derailing in a major way. She implied an article wasn’t forthcoming, or not fast enough, and it had literally just happened. She was angry that she “had” to find…

Quite frankly, the internet has been nothing but a blessing for hate groups and for bigots. Yes, overall the internet has had a democratizing effect and I do think it has led to people in general becoming more liberal. But it has also led to people being reinforced in their crazy ideas in a way that was literally…

Better said than me. It was midnight. I had a long day. But thank you for understanding where I was coming from!

I’m not baiting her. She complained there wasn’t a post to discuss this bc JE was busy with her job and now the post she so desperately needed to discuss is here.

It’s just happening more and more here. An article is posted but it wasn’t the article that should’ve been posted bc this other thing is more important so I’m going to shit all over the comments about what I want to talk about instead of waiting for the actual article to be posted. The kicker was the Jesse Williams…

Jinni. Here you go, hon. Discuss away. 😒

The reality is, sisterfriend, that Africans were brought to the “New World” to be brutalized. Police are given the right to continue that tradition. I'm not sure why black/African peoples in the Americas continue to hope that liberal democracy will save them. Liberal democracy was enriched by the toils of their…
