USA riots

[MattMooradian]

Just to remind everyone: most places in America have not seen one iota of violence or looting. My neighborhood has been peaceful. My black neighbors are still smiling and greeting me in a friendly manner and my black clients are still very pleasant.
Most of us do not recall the riots from the 1960s. I can tell you, the scenes were much worse back then. In the 60s, police pummeled hoards of protesters and loaded paddy-wagons beyond capacity. Police brutality was hardly mentioned back then. It was bloody and the protests were eventually quelled. America is very likely to be fine after this (it would help if that cop got the death penalty; and, some charges for the other three).
Most of the rioting is in the big cities and in blue/Liberal states (my state is conservative; people like me will be bailing out the irresponsible people in blue states - they'll raise our taxes to help these looted cities).
There are more people trying to stir things up among the crowds, compared to the 60s; that is different. Using cell phones to coordinate looting endeavors is new because of the computer age. Antifa is using modern methods to circumvent police efforts. The real question is: will this rioting turn the American people against the deceptive practices on the Left? Is the Leftist news media being revealed for who they really are? Or, will more Americans continue to follow their leaders like sheep to the slaughter.

BTW: In America, twice as many white people are killed by police, compared to black people killed by police. Our news media will not report these statistics (because it has become racist to report such things).

Sad history here in Tulsa....though.....the worst race riot in the history of the United States happened here in Tulsa
From the Archives: The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921

The Tulsa race massacre happened 99 years ago today - CNN


We just had a memorial to that event this past weekend...remembering the devastation of that time....Tulsa has come a long ways from that time.

I had no idea that had happened! What a horror!

As a white should I screen racism because more whites have been shot?

thanks for the info

Those numbers shouldn't surprise anyone since there's a lot more white people. The chart has the ratio at 1.57 (using the 2019 numbers).

By the 2010 census, 72.4% of the population is white and 12.6% black. That means there are 5.74 times as many whites as blacks. Divide the two ratios and you find that the average black person is 3.6 times likely to be killed by the police than a white one.

I'd predict if you live in a town with no blacks, no blacks will be likely to be killed by the police.

Yes this is correct....and it was reported by one news station that many of the rioters were bussed in from out of town and out of state.....there is even a video of a car pulling up and handing them bricks to throw.

That is true. This happens whenever ANTIFA or BLM show up to riot anywhere in America. Buses pulled up at one scene a year or so ago and let people out to join BLM in rioting.
Under this President, God bless him, I think they've got a surprise coming. Soros provides the money, his little devils hand it out and recruit fools whom they've told, don't worry, if you're arrested it'll be just a fine. And we'll pay that too!
But no! That's not happening. These anarchists, (ANTIFA) and racists (BLM) are categorized as terrorists now. They're being arrested, some are facing the terrorist statutes in the state where they acted up, and prison time. Years of prison time.
Biden doesn't discourage it. Pelosi has said it is their right to protest. I fear she thinks protesting is conflated with murder, assault on police, violence against whites, vandalism and destruction of property. Occupied or not.

We have the greatest country in the world,” he said. Who is he kidding? The events of Tiananmen Square springs to mind! The bishops have quite rightly condemned his actions as he uses a church building and a bible for “partisan political purposes” and the bishop of that particular church said she was “outraged” that Trump had visited her church without advance notice. She said “I am going to do everything in my power to disassociate our church from what the president did tonight.”

There's a lot more white people. If there were ten whites and two blacks on the street and the police killed two whites and one black, the odds of getting shot would be 20% for the whites but 50% for the blacks.

Some clergy got some of the tear gas. It's ridiculous to use tear gas on peaceful protestors just so the President can go hold up a Bible in front of a church. A Republican Senator thought it was wrong and was courageous enough to say so.

GOP criticism muted on Trump's handling of protests

A Republican senator spoke out Tuesday against President Donald Trump's use of the Bible "as a political prop" as the president warned protesters he would deploy the U.S. military to end violent protests against police brutality.

Police used tear gas to clear peaceful demonstrators from a park Monday night near the White House so Trump could walk to a nearby church and pose with a Bible.

"There is no right to riot, no right to destroy others' property, and no right to throw rocks at police. But there is a fundamental — a Constitutional — right to protest, and I'm against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op that treats the Word of God as a political prop,'' Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse said Tuesday.

Too bad Senator Sasse isn't running for President. I think I would like to vote for him.

However, these numbers don't tell the full story.

What is the ratio between whites and blacks of who commits crimes?

Not News.
Texas already has laws for individuals to use Deadly Force to protect their Person and Property.

It is news. If you click the link you'll see it is a news report that pertains to Florida, not Texas. In Texas the law is known as the Castle Doctrine. In Florida , Stand Your Ground.

Seems there is an issue (I don't know it is necessarily race, but at least one of brutality).

I am so glad there is enough to see of the You Tube title to know its content. I can't unsee the brutality that would follow after I hit play. God be with that poor woman. And God forgive the officer his acts. Amen.

In Oklahoma it is known as Make My Day Law....after the Clint Eastwood movie Dirt Harry...

Perhaps you could quote me making that statement.

And search pages back to find your words wherein you were saying that? Are you implying you didn't say Mr.Floyd resisted arrest because you didn't say precisely, Mr. Floyd resisted arrest?
You said Mr.Floyd resisted arrest when you spoke of his refusing to sit upright in the police car, saying the police could have perhaps tied him, but you didn't know Minnesota law, etc...

Yep, I said that, from a video I observed.

I look forward to you posting that video here.

Guess that About wraps up the investigation....and after that they drove him to the police station, Right?

Wrong. Mr.Floyd was placed on a stretcher, put into a responding ambulance, and transported to hospital. Later he was placed on a gurney and transported to the morgue.

First I've heard the right to defend self and property named that. Thank you for sharing that. I wonder what Clint Eastwood thought when that made news.

There are states that have, Duty-To-Retreat, laws in place still. I always wondered how that would work were no witnesses about? Link
I find it odd that a victim has a duty to retreat under the law from someone intent on breaking the law against murdering them. How did that little detail escape those states legislature I wonder.

I would say blacks are more apt to commit crimes; and there are several reasons for that. One is lack of opportunity; another is lack of education; another is the culture of feeling like everyone's against you; and another is that crime is often seen as easier than working especially in areas where good jobs are hard to find.

Blacks are more likely to be incarcerated too. If you take 100 black defendants and 100 white ones, more blacks will get jail time. How the parole system is also racist in some places. I think things have improved where I lived; but about ten years ago, if you were a white drug dealer (and a white drug dealer told me this), you got more supervision by your parole officer. You had to keep your job, couldn't live in a high crime area, etc. If you were black, the supervision was sketchy and there was a financial incentive for the justice system to be lax. Blacks would be sent back into drug-ridden areas, then watched by the police so they could arrest them again. There was money in it since the federal government pays local authorities for every drug conviction they get.
