was the officer wrong for using this word? I think everyone here would say yes.

was the black person wrong for using this word for for the officer? why is anyone black calling a white police officer the N word? what context would that be okay?

This isn't some passing fad. People have been bringing this up for literally the past 30 years.

Michael Brown?

hands up don't shoot didn't really happen.

In those early hours and early days, there was more unknown than known. But this month, the Justice Department released two must-read investigations connected to the killing of Brown that filled in blanks, corrected the record and brought sunlight to dark places by revealing ugly practices that institutionalized racism and hardship. They have also forced me to deal with two uncomfortable truths: Brown never surrendered with his hands up, and Wilson was justified in shooting Brown.

are you talking about the shooting of Dijon Kizzee?

I brought this up here, haven't seen a serious reply yet.

I made other analogies as well. “Stranger Danger” for instance. But you acted like you never heard of it.

There’s all types of examples of the media creating hysteria. Oh yeah, the tv just said the farmers almanac claims it’s going to be a bad winter. I better go out and get my eggs and milk...here’s one for you

I think you need to meet some people from Compton or East New York. They’d be fascinated to hear about how abuse of black people by police is a nonissue.

The fact that the NRA hasn't come out in full force when Breonna Taylor got shot by police on that no knock warrant when she should never have been put in that position in the first place tells me everything that I need to know about them and their motives. Protecting white gun rights...

so, you think it's their responsibility to come out 'in full force' for every questionable shooting then?
I'd bet I could find dozens of white people wrongly shot by police they didn't speak out on.

no it doesn't, it just says a national organization founded on standing up for the 2nd amendment didn't and doesn't insert themselves into situations where their involvement likely muddies waters further....

and what he said was, the fact they didn't 'tells him everything he needs to know'.....it doesn't, not in the way he meant

There’s no point in countering when your arguments come down to “but they did it, too!”

Van Gogh and Hitler were both fabulous painters. I hear the latter could paint an entire apartment in one day - two coats!

The city I grew up in was actually ranked the second most dangerous in the country at one point. I have plenty of friends from there so thanks

Perhaps you should live in one of those cities for an extended period or try being a cop there...
