OBAMA'S LEGACY

[Blindgreed1]

No, I don't believe it!! Sometimes deadly force is required by police, regardless of race?

Yeah, I'm not mentally retarded, Gunnar. So, I'm aware of that fact.

I'm even aware of the fact that sometimes deadly force is required (or reasonably perceived to be required) even if one party is armed and the other is not.

And, sometimes deadly force is not required or reasonably perceived to be required and it gets used anyway.

So, you don't resent protests even when you disagree with the protestors and think the protests are unwarranted. Sorry, I misunderstood you previously then.

You posted: "The fact that you never hear about a protest because a black cop uses deadly force against a black person is proof that discrimination is alive and well in the good ole US of A." I don't doubt that discrimination is alive in the good ole US of A -- but that certainly is not proof of it, in my opinion.

I think it's discriminatory to protest when it's a white cop that shoots a black person. Nobody protests when a black cop shoots a black person or any other combination of races. white cop vs. black person = protest. Last time I checked the definition of discrimination is the practise of treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people. You can say it's not proof, but it sure does fit the definition rather nicely.
