Democrats are dangerous

[lakerboy]

I will remember the whole evening easily. Why would I care if you pay my wife a compliment? Any person enjoys flattery and I’m not a dictator who am I to not allow that? Insecurity breeds jealousy which I don’t have either.

Nice answer. Trust me if I said that in a black man home I might not get to the car.

[goduke]

Dems doing this all wrong!

They are promoting hate not compassions.

These activities are only pissing people off.

Are they promoting anything or acknowledging what is going on? Last time I checked people were protesting not politicians. Humans aren’t robots, years of injustice caused this not politicians. There’s no ground for this behavior without the injustices, how is that hard to see?
As for these activities pissing people off.....what would you rather have people protesting do? Let’s be real honest here, how would you or someone else hear them that would fit your mold of what is an acceptable activity?

Promoting

1) Defund the police
2) Riots
3) looting
4) Arson
5) Hate

Get out of your house and actually go see what they’re doing and look at the signs and hear the words coming out of their mouth.

I did

[goduke]

Yup, I know I'm getting tired of driving around town and seeing black spray paint on boarded up buildings saying BLM every where I look. It's ugly!!! I'm tired of that and the constant protesting crap on the streets day after day..

The message has been sent give it a rest already!!! At this point it is just pissing off alot of people and business owners!!!!

Has the message been sent though? Because I haven’t seen one comment from you during the entire time that showed any compassion. So I don’t think it’s been heard

[goduke]

My language? Dude, they are literally burning cities to the ground.

They look and sound like monkeys while they're doing it.

I can hate anyone I please. Its my right as an American. It's my "privilege".

It’s my hope that one day you will need someone in life to help you for something of grave importance and they won’t come. But stay rigid and see how that works out, why care for a fellow human being when you can just care about yourself? Unreal

I won't, I have money and property. I work for a living.

I not go out and riot when I need something, and I'll definitely never need something from any of those people.

They need my tax dollars

[goduke]

The protesters were not peaceful.

Hence defending unlawful assemblies is not compassionate.

Calling cops pigs and antagonizing them is not peaceful. Hence passion for what?

We all said Floyd should had not died that way!

Courts doing what they are created to do.

Can’t feel sorry for criminals and protestors spewing hate.

Can cops promote hate though? Can they instill justice in an unfairly way and not deserve consequences or people to lash out? Courts don’t do much if deals are made between prosecutors and defense attorneys. Without this protest do you think that cop gets the charge he deserves and do you think it would have stuck all the way through? Highly doubt it, look at his other 16 counts of misconduct that didn’t even cost him his job.
It’s anger mike, people are angry and they don’t feel like they have been heard. How does one get heard? You want them to be quiet and what write letters because it’s easier for you not to see?
Look at what the underlying problem is to understand what is going on and then ask yourself ok if I was in that position what would I do to get things to change? How would I be heard? If you think there’s another way let me know

I did

Been out of the house.
1. Defund the police because they don’t believe in what it’s doing. It’s clearly not helping them or the communities they are a part of.
2. Riots or protest, either way tell me a better way to be heard
3. Looting has been done by all races, it’s bad people taking advantage of others. It’s like when rich people take advantage of our economy faltering. That’s quieter though so it’s ok right?
4. Arson I Think is just the anger boiling, that part isn’t great and I don’t have a solid reason for
5. Hate breeds hate. If a race is going to face so many injustices how do you expect them not to develop hate? Most of SBR spewed hate towards black people even before this situation. I think this is both ways

They overcharged him now. He is probably going to get off now because of the protests.

They burned their own neighborhoods down and probably got the cop off.

Let’s see. What if you get sick and it’s a black doctor that needs to save your life? What if you got into a car accident and no one was around and the first car was a black person which determined whether you stayed alive or died? You’re money and property would not go very far.
You don’t go out and riot because you have had opportunities different from others but based on your response to my post I can tell your view can’t see around paper money and paper documents

[stealthyburrito]

If your white and vote Dem get ready to get on your knees and paint yourself black

Other cops have gotten off with slaps on the wrist before these riots. How do you think people should have handled it? If he gets off you can expect 10x the stuff you see going on right now

More white people have been physically abused by bad cops than black ppl.

Do you see them protesting?

Bottom line is they should be protesting because of crooked cops, but have somehow, yet again, twisted something into race.

Also, if things do get worse, don't assume civilians won't start taking things into their own hands.

And there are many more of them than protestors.

And who are the police and local govt going to stand behind in the end?

The ones attacking them, or the ones fighting with them?

Something the protestors/rioters/looters had better start thinking about or it will get very ugly for them.

Can you post your source for your first sentence and also break it out by population size so that we can make sure that ratio is correct. Also let me know how many of those white people than were able to receive settlements/public apologies/dismissals of said bad cop compared to other races.

The protesting is more than just one bad cop, it’s the boiling point of a race that feels like they aren’t equal. What do you want them to do? How if you were them would you handle this so that you could be heard?

[BrickJames]

Keith Ellison basically botched the whole thing.

By the time the trial is said and done no one will even care or remember

Stop making excuses for stupidity.

How long you going to accept this lawlessness?

There are right ways to do things and then there are wrong ways.

You are basically saying that they don't have the mental or emotional capacity to handle it in a grown up civilized way.

[jjgold]

nobody is created equal

NOBODY

NBA is racist because very few white players although whites are not good enough to play
Same in business blacks are not smart enough to get good jobs so whites get them
Same with coaching whites smarter

NFL Blacks better as players so they get the jobs

It is called life

If those cops get off with no justice do you honestly think the protestors will care how many against how many? Are you not understanding the minority concept. They are fighting for something bigger than them and I bet many are willing to risk their life for it. Have you ever believed in anything that strongly? Have you ever had to fight to be heard that strongly? No of course not.
Again though I doubt he gets a slap on the wrist it was a hypothetical I was presenting to the other posters. I think these protests are finally a way to be heard.
Also don’t loop in looting with protests, it’s two totally different bodies at work here

Well tell me the right ways are? So tell me how would you if you were a black person handle this and be heard?

[goduke]

You are basically saying that they don't have the mental or emotional capacity to handle it in a grown up civilized way.

Tell me what that way is? And also take into account riots have not happen after the 100th, 200th of this same type of situation and nothing was accomplished

Comparing playing a sport to just being able to live life could be the dumbest thing you’ve ever said and there’s a laundry list of dumb items you have said

Dude, you are a rich kid who's parents sent him to a liberal shithole school (Duke) where you got pumped full of all this liberal ideology like a hot girl gets pumped full of jizz on prom night.

Have you had to work for a living? Have you ever been ready to die for your rightfully earned possessions and assets? Of course not.

[pimike]

Well tell me the right ways are? So tell me how would you if you were a black person handle this and be heard?

The officer is and was arrested.

Request Congress makes some changes.

Not defunding the police.

Teach people to stop resisting arrest.

More importantly hold the news accountable for pushing the false narrative that started this whole problem.

Blacks are not being target as the media is trying to say.

I have no room for bad cops. They deserve fired and or put in jail based upon actions.

Seriously why no protest when a black guy kills a white guy ? Police or citizen? Wrong is wrong.

I hear you and agree in some areas but it’s going to far now.

[goduke]

I just want to hear from people who can show me a reasonable way that they would have handled injustices instead of protesting? A lot of people are easy to condone what’s going on but you know what is harder? Offering an alternate solution that would work.
This site is so over the top about hating on people but not offering solutions or figuring out a way they can help make this situation better and unite people.

[2daBank]

Sometimes you gotta fight wrong with wrong. God damn you for making me defend that shit since I don’t really agree with the rioting.

stop committing crimes although they cannot

why would being good at business be any different than being good at sports?

People have different skill sets.

The free market pays people accordingly.

Never went to duke. Just like the basketball team. The fact that you base your rhetoric on my screen name is just so small.
You want to die for your assets but do you consider being equal and not suffering injustice to be an asset? If so how can you not see what people are fighting for? How can you be so hypocritical?

[goduke]

Good at business requires a proper education. Proper educations aren’t granted equally. Inner cities are neglected. Everyone can pick up a basketball from a young age and learn how to dribble. Did you ever think that maybe that’s why they are able to flourish at some sports? Because they had an equal ground to start from

[goduke]

Generalization. It would be like JJ you steal money from your uncle because you’re a deadbeat. I don’t know why you steal money from your uncle or why you can’t get beyond mowing lawns but it’s the same type of generalization

[lakerboy]

Goduke a lone soldier fighting the good fight in his mind at least. I do say he has some good points. He reminds me of an old Democrat. The ones before the party went whacky left.

Request congress to make changes? Come on man? Just get on the phone with McConnell and ask him to put some laws in place? You’re letter won’t even get read. You know that petitions signed with over a certain amount of signatures don’t even have to be addressed now by the office of the President?

Ok instead of defunding the police what is a better way?

Teach people to stop resisting arrest??? You’re better than this. How much resisting did he do before he died? What about the girl at the boyfriends house that got shot because they barged in to serve a warrant. Was she resisting?

How do you hold the news accountable? Multi billion dollar corporations and you want to hold them accountable? How would you go about doing that with protests?

Blacks are targeted, but you can find a million statistics out there showing that so it’s not even worth debating about

No protests happen if a black guy kills a white guy because the justice systems works that way. That guy gets arrested and charged with the proper crime. Maybe not OJ because he was rich but every other situation
