Could the plebs (both BLM and &quot;anti-BLM&quot;) have bought into the media&#x27;s derailing divisive narrative any harder?<p>The incorrect percentages of being being killed by police <i>is not a public health issue</i>! The mechanism isn&#x27;t some vague force of nature that we can only hope to mitigate, but has specific human actors for every single occurrence.<p>Every <i>person</i> killed by the police is a <i>criminal justice issue</i>. Any person who straps on a gun, goes looking for trouble, and then kills somebody (not in clear self defense) is guilty of at least second degree murder. So why aren&#x27;t these cops being prosecuted and thrown in prison like every other murderer? Our criminal justice system has become corrupt and doesn&#x27;t bother to hold itself to the laws it purports to uphold!<p>When people see that laws are only selectively applied to help the powerful versus the weak, they lose belief in the very concept of law. Minorities have only lost faith in the justice system <i>quicker</i> - they can&#x27;t be comforted by a just-world social delusion that if things were &quot;truly bad&quot;, change would automatically happen through democratic means.<p>Any plausible solution needs to start with holding cops accountable for their externalities, rather than continuing to pretend that it&#x27;s right for the unlucky to pay them. This involves both civil and criminal penalties for cops who act outside <i>the law</i> (department policy is only relevant for determining who pays the damages). Scrapping the entire drug criminalization thing would also go a long way towards realigning the police and the public.

Typical left-leaning article. In the totality of law enforcement shootings, the vast majority of people have been white, 26% have been black, the rest a mix.<p>Black Lives Matter is a false narrative.<p>Blacks make up 13% of the US population, but have a disproportionate percentage of young men involved in crimes. Young black men have no family life. As of 2016, 79% of all black children are born to unwed mothers. Those children grow up with no father present in the household.<p>No father equals MASSIVE instability. The ideal is a man and woman raising children together. Blacks lack this.<p>In almost every one of these shootings, after the dust settles, it&#x27;s learned that the person shot had a record, had a warrant, was wanted for other crimes, was carrying an illegal or stolen knife or gun. The recent Charlotte incident showed the man was carrying a gun that was both stolen and illegal for him to possess as he was already a felon.<p>I&#x27;ve no problem with peaceful protests, but when your civil rights are no longer being civil, you lose your civil rights. If you start looting or damaging property, you get shot and deservedly so.<p>It&#x27;s come to light in Charlotte that quite a few of the black people being arrested have out-of-state driver&#x27;s licenses. This shows a growing trend. That the violence and looting are not organic. The local are being agitated by outside influences.<p>This is all being done by people with money, like a certain rich Hungarian in bed with certain high-level Democrats in this country. None of this is accidental. Professional agitators were found to be active in Ferguson, Charlotte, Baltimore, NYC, you name it.<p>Were I in charge and you were looting, I&#x27;d turn a tractor-trailer load of German Shepherds on you. Time to take off the gloves. Notice that in Russia, this never happens. Like him or hate him, but Vladimir Putin keeps a tight reign on civil discourse and political activities by the populace. People can peacefully protest, but when they start to act violently, they need to be quelled very quickly.
