Unemployed former football player finalist for Time Person of the Year. /r/politics calmly discusses this.

He's not doing it because he hates America.

I never said he hates America! Oh my God am I taking crazy pills?

He's doing it because cops keep killing unarmed black people.

Cops unjustly kill a handful of people of all Races every year. As my extremely downvoted posts say, When you have over 1 million people in any profession, there will be some bad apples. I don't care how many times you downvote this post, it's not a "black" thing anymore than it is a "white" thing. The numbers bear this out but nobody seems to give a shit about numbers anymore. Now blacks are slightly over-represented in police killings per capita, could that possibly have anything to do with blacks being responsible for a wildly disproportionate amount of violent crime in the United States including a rape robbery and murder?

I don't see how people like you can say what you do with a straight face when the numbers are so easily accessible and disprove your claim completely.

I just don't understand why numbers stopped being important to people.
