Four cops drawing their weapons on someone not doing anything suspicious is unnecessary and dangerous. It increases the chance that someone gets shot. Cops don’t get to just assume the worst thing about every person they come across, or else we would all be dead. They didn’t feel threatened enough to draw their…

Exactly! They obviously didn’t feel the need to approach him with their weapons drawn (I never said that they did). The fact that he did not respond to their initial commands was no reason to draw their weapons, as (1) he was wearing headphones, so the most obvious reason for his actions was he COULDN’T hear them, not…

Bernie Sanders is a typical political sellout who doesn’t care about the people for not giving his full throated endorsement to Bernie Sanders, the only candidate in this race dedicated to the people rather than cheap political maneuvering.

Well, hey, you can always find the bastion of intelligence when someone says “your a retard.” The combination of a lame, offensive insult with a simple grammatical error is hilarious.

Fine. Whatever. I’m done arguing with you. I don’t know whether online arguments give some modicum of pleasure to what sounds like a profoundly shitty life, but, again, I hope you are able to find happiness outside of this forum. It must suck to be at the place you’re apparently at.

Yeah, another way you can stop being racist is not to accuse minorities of saying shit they never said, and of not turning legitimate criticism into some hysterical accusation.It is clear from looking at your comment history that you have many deeper issues than your conversations with Latinx friends about Speedy…

Thought you weren’t reading my replies?

Most predictable person on Kinja. What, you don’t want to tell me about your disability or impending suicide?

Is there anything you could have said to convince me that using your Latinx friends as tokens to advance your argument about Speedy Gonzalez wasn’t racist? No, not really, because that’s racist. Is there anything you could have done to convince me that you, Flying Squid, aren’t racist? Yes, you cou knowledge the…

“I won’t vote for anybody but Bernie. I am voting for Trump.”

No, my imagining you as a racist is not the justification for what I said. If that was what I wanted, I would have said “You are a racist Flying Squid” and left it at that. I didn’t initially say that. I criticized a specific comment you made.

No, idiot, I didn’t say they shouldn’t approach him. What I am saying is that, even though he somewhat matched the rather vague description of the suspect, his actions should have indicated to anyone with common sense that he was highly unlikely to be the bank robber, and also that he was not intentionally ignoring…

I don’t “want” you to be a racist, and I hadn’t initially accused you of being a racist. I want you to stop doing lame white boy shit. I specifically criticized specific actions of yours. What I want you and other white people to understand is that trotting out your minority friends opinions as some sort of definitive…

I’m not asking you for anything. I’m explaining to you my criticism and how I came to it, and also explaining your own fallacies. If you don’t want to open your eyes and see, that’s on you. And I know you’re a white guy, I don’t need you to tell me.

Because at the time I posted it, I hadn’t made my mind up about anything except the fact that I disagreed with your using your “Latinx friends” to make your point about Speedy Gonzalez. Nothing in my first post contained any judgment about you as a person beyond a specific disagreement about your post. But you sure as…

I hadn’t made up my mind about you. My original post was not about you as a person. It was about an action you had taken. I was criticizing that action. But, like many white people, you can’t take the slightest bit of criticism without turning into a pathetic, defensive mess. You could have chosen to explain why there…

When I said I hadn’t called you racist, that was true. I am calling you racist now because you seem so clearly to want that to be what I said, and I’m not interested in your attempts at derailing this discussion by having it turn into an argument about whether or not my first post was calling you racist. So, you’re a…

Exactly. Casually strolling through the park with headphones on is not the typical behavior of a recent bank robber. And common sense should have told them that the reason the guy WITH THE HEADPHONES ON wasn’t responding to them is because he couldn’t hear them, so no need to draw their weapons. Of course, a recent…

No, I get it. The only minority opinions with any value to racist pieces of garbage like you are ones that reinforce your Correct White Person Opinion.

There are better ways to teach consent than explaining away a cartoon that frames a lack of consent as a humorous goof. It is not like Looney Tunes is some super important cultural artifiact that absolutely must be experienced.
