I've read the comments and I can see the willful ignorance in here. BLM doesn't say "only" BLM it says what it says BLM. Police Brutality has been rampant in the black and brown community's for generations and its only been brought to light because of the cameras. Thank God for the camera. Because you people would be still believing law enforcement over a person who is being wrongly convicted. You tired of the BLM movement we tired of the wilfully ignorance of those who choose to put there head in the sand on Police Brutality and justice inequality.

More whites get wrongfully convicted than blacks. Stats bra
-
White people also make up 2/3rds of the population. You're ignoring the context of the percentages of population bra
-
Its by captia. Duh

Blm is a Marxist movement. They openly admit it. Read their mission statement on their website.

Funny thing that’s not true and most black deaths are a result of black on black violence

You are comparing crime to crime committed by people sworn to uphold the law. Bringing demographics into this arguement in that way makes your point sound very childish and uneducated. You cant say because black people kill each other cops can also kill them. Nor can we say all police are racist murders. What can be said is that NO person that took an oathe to uphold the law is a over the law. What else we can say is that no individuals action can truly represent a movement. Meaning, just because people riot this is not a true reflection of the movement. Same as we cant say because that one pig suffocated a black man while his other pig buddies watched, all police are murders. See my point? On both sides of the arguement there is truth. The fact is is that we have a system in place that is supposed to decide a criminals fate, that is not the job of the police. No person outside of a court of law has any right deciding someone's guilt and punishment. This includes the racist as$holes that think it's justifiable and tight to drive cars into peaceful protesters. Funny how easily "patriots" forget "We the people...." Also funny thing about the word patriot....pat. "riot"

More whites get killed by cops. Whites who are unarmed
-
And that is just as wrong. You are missing the point. Police ARE NOT supposed to kill ANYONE. The point of the movement is to combat police brutality. Feel free to continue your quest to make justice look one sided.
-
But you are clearly wrong based on every single crime stat in America. Police kill more white people (despite white people committing way less crime).

Edited by Noiztm: 7/9/2020 9:16:00 PMWherever you get your stats from, look up the difference in crime stats. You may find a lot more petty crimes on one side but then the other has a list of crimes no one thinks about. Let's take the white people in the housing incident from a decade ago. Those people, even though it may have been 5 people, affected the whole world's economy. Yet somehow it's the people stealing from Walmart that are the real problem. Point is numbers dont represent "crime" completely or legitimately. This is why in the court system crime is categorized in many ways. Crime is not crime is not crime. Not all criminal acts should be treated equal.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/ 204 whites killed bt police in 2020 105 blacks killed. And all the othe years going back to 2018 the number of whites killed is almost double or more than. Here's your "facts"
-
black people make up 13% of the U.S. population. white people make up 60% of the U.S. population. Your use of statistics is flawed.
-
You need to learn what per captia means.
-
The only per capita mentioned in the source provided was this: [quote] Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 31 fatal shootings per million of the population as of June 2020.[/quote] The chart itself? Not per capita. Next time you try to pull some 'gotcha' on someone, check the source for yourself. Your use of statistics is flawed.

Again, it doesnt justify people who swore to uphold the law killing anyone. The point is not black and white, the real point of all this is police DO NOT have the right to kill anyone. Black, white, yellow......that is why we have a judicial branch of our government. Your justification based on who gets killed more is ignorant at best. You can argue race all day, you will continue to miss the real point. Point bein' police abuse their power....
-
So then please explain why this "movement" ( read "domestic terrorists") is called BLACK lives matter?? Why not Stop Police Brutality or something.
-
Would it really matter what the name is? The reality is we live in a time were people justify it and think it is ok for authority to abuse power. The first anti police brutality rally I attended was in 1996 and it was not labeled. There were a couple things it had in common with the BLM rallies. 1) police brutality is wrong 2 people didnt like it then either. People have a fear in challenging authority on issues they either feel helpless about or they dont understand. So no matter what we call it. There will still be a group of people that challenge it. Which is fine, it is America. Challenges are good, it is what bring on change.

When do you believe it's justified for a police officer to kill someone?
-
That is not something that can be answered in a quick response. Their job is not to be a judge but rather uphold laws and to protect the public. Because a person (black or white) has a criminal record is not just cause. Because someone got physical is not just cause. I could not kill you because you punched me, that is not how it works even for law enforcement. Being "scared for my life" is a bull$hit reason and we all know it. If I was afraid for my life in every confrontation I had i would have killed dozens by now.... So to the point of your question, very few incidents would warrant killing. Especially when the perpetrator has been detained for 8+ minutes begging to be allowed to breath.

Well said

Amen!

This is the community Bungie wants. They want us fighting with each other because it deflects away from how god-awful they've been handling the game since independence. No, really, they want it thus way. Read the CoC and you can find thousands of blatant violations that the ninjas have done jack shit about.
