Some fair points. Don't think a white kid would be left laying there for hours.

I just watch an elderly Man say he will never forget the sight of that body being left on the ground for hours and will certainly never forgive.

If it's as it's reported, I don't really see how it can be justified.

It should be refined as yours is....

[1751_Texan]

NO ONE will EVER-EVER address what Williams and I have said...If a white person does it, it is an American problem. If a black person does it...its a black thang.

I'm sorry Cigar you hang with some dirty ass racists on this forum. I can't stand the stench any longer.

Well it seems that he has a lot of questions that we need to have answered he really asks for the truth of the situation.

But he builds It with a bunch of half truths and deception. So lets look at what we have that are facts and see if we can start at the right place, just as the actor suggested.

#1 Mr. Brown was not killed for stealing Cigars, was he, We are not even 100% sure that the officer new of the robbery at the time of the shooting. He was killed because he attacked a police officer, what we do not know is if he was assaulted first, that is what we are trying to find out.

#2 The School Shootings, While any lost of life is terrible the mass loss of young children is especially tragic, NEARLY ALL OF THE SHOOTERS IN THESE SITUATIONS ARE IN THE SCHOOLS OR CRIME SCEEN FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS. They are portrayed by the media as monsters, usually they try and connect them with conservative movements, until it is proven that they come from liberal families. After this the media tends to try and blame the families, especially if the family participates in shooting or hunting sports.

#3 When a person of color is made out to be an angle by the press only to be proven a thug when the facts come out, this does not help the case. Unfortunately poverty is abundant in the inner cities. These communities tend to be populated by more people of color than the countryside. This poverty and despair lead to crime that can be proven, These areas tend to have more confrontation with the police.

The real question should be, is the person being confronted by police committing a crime? If they are, then the police are not harassing, but doing their jobs. Yes White kids do drugs, usually in the basement of their parents home, while they are at work, If you choose to do them on a corner with your friends, then the police can see you, and you support that habit with theft, you are going to get in trouble

#3 there is an element of the black community that glorifies confrontation with the police, Rap music honors it, and this element views crime as a legitimate business? It is not. These poor communities are told that there is no hope for advancement and that they should be happy with their government assistance. They suffer poor schools and are denied the choice that would give their children a better education. Yet because of this poor education they are convinced to keep voting for the people that persecute them.

#4 If you want to change the narrative, stop playing the part look at the 2 black men in the video, one is unshaven and wearing a hoodie an the other has chosen a hair style that is going to bring up stereotypes A group of white kids walking down the street wearing shorts polo shirts and sandals are going to draw a lot less attention that a group of black kids hanging out on a corner wearing hoodies with the hoods up, in the middle of the summer? IS THIS FAIR? NO! but it is fact, the police know that the kids in the hoodies are far more likely to be committing a crime. So stop plying the part!

As you know both of my VP's are black one I swear is purple! tease him about it all the time when he calls himself a black man. They will both tell you that most of the time they have to go looking for racism. And when they get out of their nice trucks and not decked out SUV's in the city wearing a nice shirt and slacks, they are NEVER harassed by the police, but they feel that if they played the part of a gangster they would be.

So lets look at the facts and not the myths that tend to surround these situations

Yes you have taking an actor that based his argument on half truths and created racism, which is what you wanted to do in the first place.

But you did not base your argument on the truth did you?

If it's as it's reported, I don't really see how it can be justified.

First lets be clear, if this was a white person shot by the police, there would never have been the news coverage. I know that just this week we had an accident victim that was dead on the scene for nearly 8 hours because they thought it might be a suicide? he was White. Never made the national news. most of the shooters in the school shootings are on site for more than 4 hours. the crime scene was in the middle of the street and if the collection of evidence took that long, then it took that long, If they were just letting the body sit? then I have issues too.

Arguing a negative that never happened os a poor argument
