Re: Police shot in Dallas
If you've got nothing useful to say, then maybe you should keep out of it. You can yawn & call it trolling as much as you like. But what you can't do is make any coherent meaningful argument in support of black lives matter and their asinine posturing beyond the standard one dimensional banalities & evasions that their 'movement' is based on.
It doesn't matter whether 'you support them' - their tactics, rhetoric & attitude led inevitably to what happened in Dallas. It has also contributed to police largely withdrawing from Baltimore post Freddie Gray, leading to the deadliest year there on record & the deaths of scores more people. But Black Lives Matter eh.
And after you, blm & the rest of the social justice warriors have lost interest & moved on to playing pokemon or whatever else is the next latest fad, lone cops will still be risking their lives every day going up against potentially armed scumbags for $35,000 a year.

Re: Police shot in Dallas
In terms of what blm are asking for, it's not exactly a secret - (greater police accountability, reduction in violence, improved professionalism etc ?)- on the surface it is probably entirely reasonable. But in practice will it make much significant difference ? I doubt it. Most of the police shootings are ambiguous events involving split second decisions in lethally dangerous situations. Maybe the solution is for the police to just withdraw from black communities altogether
Even if you eradicated all police shootings it wouldn't even begin to scratch the surface of the violence that blacks are both victims and cause of & meanwhile 74 % of black children would still be growing up in fatherless poverty. Deny it all you like but those are the facts & they largely undermine blm
But it's so much easier and satisfying to point the finger & blame 'the system', the police, whitey eh
If you don't have any meaningful response to this post, then don't bother replying, because it is getting tedious
Your failure to comprehend that means pretty much all your posts are irrelevant on this subject.

"According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most homicides were intraracial, with 84% of white victims killed by whites, and 93% of black victims killed by blacks..."
Keep in mind that blacks are only 12% of the population but account for 50% of the homicides.

Re: Police shot in Dallas
You're totally ignoring the fact blm's cause is about police not treating everyone equally, rather than actual numbers killed by whomever.

Anyway, life is short, so best of luck with your on-line campaign for equality, waged on the pages of a British expat website - I wish you nothing but success

And the lefty social justice warriors go all quiet. What a surprise
I would just add - in the interests of accuracy - that while blacks make up 12% of the population - adult black males (the specific group we're talking about) is an even smaller percentage - maybe 5% of the total general population
But they commit 50% of all murders
Black lives matter eh
