No. It seems to me that the protestors of late are protesting about racist white cops, who are killing black people in the streets... not unconstitutional government intrusion.
Yes. Racist policy is part of it. POLICY. Profiling and programs like stop and frisk are provably statistically racist.
There are too many people killed by police in America. Blacks feel oppressed. I'm sorry a lack of empathy won't allow you to entertain that idea.
Remove race completely. There are too may Americans killed by police. I'm not sure how more unconstitutional you can get than killing unarmed citizens. Again POLICY to blame.
You're getting lost in us and them again. It's to the point of pathological so, I'll give up on common ground.
There are many people who are just anti-cop. As a poster on Bad Cop No Donut, you know that.
Yep. Has nothing to do with our conversation. POLICY is what I'm talking to you about. POLICY. However, I do appreciate the opposition research. It's so often underutilized.
These need to be solved by legislation.
That's my point. POLICY.
We do.
You have to be kidding me. You just said this:
No. It seems to me that the protestors of late are protesting about racist white cops, who are killing black people in the streets... not unconstitutional government intrusion.
I cannot protest in honor of Mike Brown. Mike Brown was not gunned down by some racist cop.
What does "we do" mean and how?
It would be considered an uprising and it would be put down. Also, I'm not marching alongside someone with a "Corporations are evil" sign or a "We are all illegal immigrants" sign.
So we would be considered a threat if we used our 1st Amendment right. Thank you for conceding the point that we are considered a threat.
Us and them pathology again. You pretty much hate any American that doesn't agree with you and would never consider standing up for their rights? You don't think that's a little sad and petty? Also, historically a losing strategy for the citizens.
First they came for...
You think that gun-toting conservatives should be out there shooting at Mike Brown looters?
That's ridiculous and I'm not even bothering.
No. We're not going to bring our guns to protests that have to deal with things that we disagree with.
No. You won't fight against policy you disagree with fellow Americans because of ideological differences.
You are okay with American's rights being abused to the point of beatings and death if they're not your kind of Americans.
Your bigotry runs deeper than your patriotism. Neat.
