10 police officers shot by snipers at BLM protest in Dallas

[SciNeT]

It seems to me, that some of the people in here, who were such strong advocates of brexit - seem to want to blame race and skin colour for the problems being experienced in the US,

idk, maybe I'm seeing things.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes. And pertinent to the discussion at hand. People are assuming the apparent propensity for black people to commit crime is due to reason x or reason y. Has anyone actually checked if it's for reason z?

Yes. Science has definitively proven that the Earth's core is iron. Not pertinent to the discussion at hand and all its done is make you look a bit silly.

I see, well, we'd better get rid of them then, eh? Wouldn't want them crowding up the streets for us nice white folk.

Also, you should check your facts before calling people silly, we do not know the core is made of iron, not even close.

Hitler, was just doing his job.
If they want to run around legally shooting people as their career choice, they have to expect some backlash sooner or later.

I must be misunderstanding this, surely you are not really suggesting that Hitler was employed to murder millions of people.

And as you were actually running around with those cops legally shooting those people in cold blood, why don't you tell us all exactly what happened?

Exactly this, as we know all police officers are racist itchy trigger fingered power trippers. Just like how all ferry captains are incompetent buffoons who crash into icebergs.

Don't include me in your we, especially while you're talking about of your behind.

I thought it explained a lot though

I can link to some very solidly attested peer reviewed papers if you like?

And where have i said to get rid of anyone? I asked a question. One which I'll say again, unlike the crap you're spotting, is pertinent.

I know you're allowed to do it, but I didn't realise people actually waltz around the supermarket doing their weekly shops with their semi-automatics slung over their shoulders.



The freedom they need.

[Mynight]

That's just stupid.

I cant see any logical reason to carry guns like that.

Is it just incase someone bumps in your trolley? (which I can somewhat understand )

 

[Rroff]

Surprised they aren't toting body armour as well :S

Am I the only wonder who shuddered at the shotgun pointing upwards? :S

Blacks are six times more likely to murder someone than a white person. That is a shocking statistic. How can anyone argue this is not a race issue?

Many will try to argue this is a legacy of slavery or some nonsense like that. That is simply not true. Black crime rates exploded after the civil rights movement. The further blacks have got from slavery, the more violent they have become.

You can pretty much map the rise in violence to growth of the drug trade in the US. But its not just the drugs alone, because here's the funny thing: most people involved in drugs in the US earn less that minimum wage. Many of the kids in the drugs gangs have to work other jobs to stay afloat.

The real root of this problem is black urban culture and its glorification of drugs and violence. Until you start to tear down the myth that gang life and drugs are a way forward for black Americans, you might start to see improvements.

Obviously there's more to it than that: there needs to be jobs and education for them. But first, they need to destroy the glamour of being in a gang.

Jesus I just saw the Fox news clip, this guy is military with a lot of FIBUA experience, wouldn't be surprised if he's special forces.

I wouldn't be surprised either if all the guys involved know each other, probably planned this out last night.

I think this was a message. Scary stuff.

Never actually seen that when I was out there - the odd person with a glock or the likes on their hip was about all.

Don't think I'd bother with an assault rifle either in that context except maybe the g36c, more likely an mp5 variant.


EDIT: Ooops forgot the barrel regulations - that'll be why they are carrying those.

 

[scorza]

Wondering why no-one has made a big deal about the media not referring to this as a 'terrorist attack'?

So what do you make of the statistics then? They're all just hocus-pocus are they?

Let me save you the trouble, we do not know what the Earth's core is made of. We believe we have a pretty good idea and since our satellites haven't all crashed it's probably not bad but if the composition was known, I wouldn't have a friend doing a PhD in trying to work it out right now.
Now, for the point I was making which seems to have sailed straight over your head - we can typically dismiss a lot of things like "do we really know the earth is not made of cheese" because they are obviously silly. In the same way, there should not have to be research to disprove that people with a certain colour of skin are more violent than others. If you want to say there is a causation here, the burden of proof is on you, saying that because it's not been disproven is logically the same as if I were to say we don't really know that the Earth's core isn't made of something silly like cheese.
