I took the time to do my own research on the numbers. Have you?

Even if you just look at total police killings (1,004), blacks account for 1/4 of them (234) despite accounting for 50+% of homicides themselves.

No matter how you want to look at it, blacks aren’t being disproportionately killed by cops, but let’s continue to pretend otherwise.

An NFL executive on the phone with me Sunday: “Let’s put it this way: The second I saw him in that video, I knew Roger had to act quickly. Everyone, including all the owners, knows he’s the guy.” https://t.co/O8hYReWSx5

Why must they be mutually exclusive? Is it not possible another case of police brutality directed at blacks highlighted in bright red magic marker the issue of inequality? Is it not then possible the protests as a result of that episode inspired more brazen acts by law enforcement that BRC is pointing out?

And do you think you're being clever by trying to obscure the issue by using this very bland misdirection?

That is such ****ing bullshit. When having a discussion about numbers you need to know what the **** you are talking about so yes, they are two completely separate issues. Quit trying to muddy the water when it comes to your agrument.

I will ask again, are we talking about police brutality against blacks or not?

Yep. Mahomes is the next golden child of the NFL. As he should be. The NFL needs him. It should have been an easy call for the NFL. The ground has shifted.

So this is gonna be real fun when the kneeling over the flag battle resumes.

When less than 10% of the population is committing more than 50% of the murders, you’re going to get more attention from police, but people like Twisted and Meck don’t want to talk about that.

You're gotdamn right "he's the guy"! 🏆

The more you are given. The more is required of you. Patrick has to do, what he has to do
[Reply]

it's 6% of the population actually accounting for 44% of ALL VIOLENT CRIME ARRESTS......

But hey Black Lives Matter only when the police are involved. Whats that you say Police officers are 18x more likely to be killed by a black man then the other way around. Crazy..............


They Irony is that we must treat all POLICE the same, yet we are NOT ALLOWED to turn around and do the same to the African American community.

Mahomes is going to take a knee. Count on it. There are going to be hundreds of tweets before the first game. He's still going to take a knee. Maybe the whole team.

No, I fully understand the basis for racial profiling. I'm not even sure I disagree with it. Should TSA officers at the airport spend the same amount of time on an 85-year-old white woman as a 25-year-old Arabic man? No, they shouldn't because they have limited resources.

But what if those black crime statistics you cite are a result of generations of racism? And fewer opportunities? And a sense of hopelessness?
[Reply]

Then we would see other racial groups with the same problem. We don't, so its not.

I don't care if they do, I think its disrespectful. But again I don't care enough to change my perception of someone just because they do something I THINK (Personal Opinion) is disrespectful.
