2 black men murdered, protests in Dallas, 11 shot, 4 dead, > 2 shooters, suspect in custody, POI safe in custody, bomb threat [update]

You'll matter to me

I heard one of those pigs scream "get on the ground BOY" before they rushed him, then shot him on the ground, theres no question in my mind those cops were race soldiers in uniform. Also, a special "Fuck YOU" to any suspect White supremacist who tries to justify the killing with the typical deflections & and evasions of "he had a record" & "should have complied"

We see through you. And we see your redneck White militias, armed for war, having armed standoffs, stepping to Sheriffs and Federal fucking agents, not getting slaughtered like rabid animals.

America was always full of shit and continues to be when it comes Black people having equal rights and protections under the law. I hope the wider international community, especially Westerners, continue seeing every single embarrassing image that comes from these human rights violations.

Just disgusting

Another rant: why do suspect White supremacists always deflect to "what about Black on Black crime" when discussing police brutality? We know WHY they do it, but the deeper insinuation here, that Black folk are collectively responsible for the actions of some dusty Negros acting stupid and self destructive in Chicago or Detroit or wherever is utter horseshit. Like all White supremacists, they think theyre slick and cant have the script flipped on their ass, so they pretend like we cant play the same game and hold THEM collectively responsible for White supremacist crimes of the last 100 years. (which make Black on Black crime stats look like varsity team numbers)
And speaking of Black crime stats: none of them can be trusted, because theyre tinged with results of racially biased law enforcement practises. Not only are innocent Blacks getting swept up and charged with made up crimes in "gang" or "drug land" sweeps, White juries are convicting Black defendants at a rate 15% higher than the Whites on trial for the same crime and White juries flat out refuse to convict White race soldiers on the police force whenever they murder a Black man.

Just saw the more explicit video, jesus...

These motherfucking cops. They make it hard being black. That's something that white people just don't understand.

and another...

Philando Castile, 32, died Wednesday night after being shot several times by a police officer in a suburb outside St. Paul, Minn., police confirmed. The immediate aftermath of the shooting was streamed live on Facebook by Castile’s girlfriend Lavish Reynolds.

According to Reynolds, the two were pulled over for having a broken tail light. In the video, she says that the unidentified officer asked Castile for his license and registration, but that when he went to reach for it the officer shot him four times in the arm. Reynolds says Castile informed the officer that he was in possession of a legally owned firearm.

The officer can be heard screaming at Reynolds: “I told him not to reach for it. I told him to get his hand out.” Reynolds replies by saying, “You told him to get his I.D., sir. His driver’s license.”

It's gotten to the point where a black man can't trust he will live during any encounter with the law...

good read

Yeah the image of the 4 year old girl trying to console the mom who just watched her BF get shot and bleed out, that shit broke me fam. ...I can't even....

What the fuck is going on? These videos are crazy. Something's got to give.

I'm legitmately scared going for my vacation over there in 2 weeks. Going to rent a car in Boston and doing a road trip to Washington. I'm German but I'm of Arabic descent. So I kinda look... I don't know maybe mexican to some. If I get pulled over I'll probably shake like I'm up to something making me an ideal target for a hero cop.

Well if I get cleared to enter the States after getting my butt searched.

Shit is crazy. Since Ferguson I expected shit to get worse with cops getting targets of violence instead it got worse for anyone with even a slight tan.

This is so horrible. Surely there's still a big leap from being a racist dick to killing someone in cold blood, to me the thought of taking someone's life would haunt me for the rest of mine. Pulling the trigger should surely be your last resort.

The police in America have too much power, and it seems like there's a culture of fear and hatred amongst them.

This is from the outside looking in. It doesn't make sense to me, and it happens far too often.

They really killing us with no regard.

That kid consoling her mother almost broke me. :(

The fuck.

My wife literally prays every day that I don't get pulled over

I can get a pretty bad temper with people in authority who don't know what the fuck they're doing.

Black people are being hunted. That's all there is to it. I've yet to hear our two presidential candidates say anything about this.

Just a loss for words. I really would get out of this country if I could.

thats the goal more or less

White America should consider itself lucky Black folks are mainly interested in equality and equal protections under the law and dont (as of yet) have a mind for get-evens, clap-backs or revenge seeking.
In future, I can see a version of the Black Panthers making a comeback, with armed civilians keeping cops out of Black communities or getting up in that ass if cops do roll through and try to fuck with people

The Black Panthers certainly were in favor of armed self-defense (and they were right to be so), but they were much more than "people seeking revenge"... They were revolutionaries who even ran clinics out of the belief that their ambition was also to improve communities in immediate future...

Right wing radio was trying to empathize with both of these officers this morning on the way into work this morning.

You're naive if you think the current rhetoric is not aiming for a race war. Weeks ago, I watched AntiFa/BAMN and a White Nationalist group show up with sticks and knives to fight and shed blood on the Capitol Park lawn in their little race war.

By Fenderputty Go To PostI like to listen to the enemy sometimes.

I do as well sometimes. I don't like creating a bubble for myself. Have to peep on what others are saying even if it offends me.

Y'all better than me. I can read the inevitable quotes some where down the line. Not gonna line their pockets books tho.

watched the first 10 seconds of the vid and turned it off

surprised there isn't some masked vigilante out there taking heads at this point tbh

As someone that has had guns drawn on him by police this frightens me. It is really unfortunate and this cop will get off. This man was shot despite using his second amendment rights,

Philando Castile was another shooting the other day where the victim's girlfriend live streamed on Facebook. That was fucking insane too. An Asian cop panics and shoots (hmmm...sound familiar?) an occupant in the car and starts cursing at himself like a moron for unloading close to 5 bullets into his side. What the fuck!?

If you're that shook, tell your suspects to put their hands on the fucking dash or hold them out of the car before you approach the vehicle. Fucking cowards. These police offers are absolute dipshits. Standards for these twats need to be raised to weed out the dumb fucks. In both cases, the shooters (in Baton Rouge only one officer fired right?) should be tried for manslaughter and serve 15-25 minimum.

race war is the funniest term to me

i mean, yeah, you will see media run with it because the ratings are so good but the people that think/believe a line will be drawn in the sand and sides taken are a special kind of removed and stupid

there can't be a race war in america. people are chilling far, far above the necessary complacency line

Yay. Can't wait to lose this race war because guns are illegal in every place where brown people exist.

Yeah.

Also... this is really getting stupid.

I donated what I could to gofundme page set up for Diamond Reynolds, she kept it thorough as fuck dealing with a hysterical, trigger happy cop. Not sure I would have had the fluidity of mind to immediately start live streaming if my SO was bleeding out in front of my eyes with a daughter in the backseat. Any Black celebs who been talking that talk better step up and help make sure our girl and her daughter are financially comfortable and secure, I swear to god.

FUCK This shit, what can we do, I don't even feel like talking anymore.

I want to DO something

My friend always kept his wallet literally on the dash because of cops, especially Oakland PD.

Also race war? Good luck with that considering how integrated families actually are now.

even then

you know how any kind of 'conflict' is coming? when people start leaving their jobs to fuck shit up.

this is america, most people gonna tweet, some people gonna throw their money at it in some form, a few will be activists for a while - and then everyone is gonna go right back to what they were doing

and there's less and less reason for people to be 'surprised' and in the same lane that their parents or grandparents were in. word of mouth in the 60s was a hell of a lot weaker than what we have now to pass information. people know this stuff is going on and are arguably more aware than they ever were - with even more tools at their disposal to confront these and other issues.

people are more than content with this shit in america. this is america.

i don't know why people even front like they're surprised

By Kidjr Go To PostFUCK This shit, what can we do, I don't even feel like talking anymore.

This is how I feel

I have a legit anger problem that I've managed to suppress over the years, but every now and then that shit pops back up. I felt it coming on today at work. Its infuriating. Legit feels like the I only thing to do is clap back and clearly that's not the best of ideas and black people would definitely like be wiped off the map.

So I dunno

Looking at my son just eats at me ...knowing hes going to have to deal with this horseshit man.

yal acting like yal can't leave

Does Canada like black folk or nah

By Smokey Go To PostDoes Canada like black folk or nah

im dead ass man

when you really start looking into relocating, it will shock the hell out of you

and of courrrrrrrrrrrrrse there will always be the people to say "racism is everywhere" "you just gonna leave your people behind?" "what about the fight your parents and grandparents fought?"

racism is everywhere, but american racism is what pisses you off now. there's other kinds out there, no place is perfect of course, but how many places are you making sure to have your tags up to date because you're scared of being pulled over because you could fucking die? lol

your parents and grandparents never had the option but worked hard to make sure that opportunities would be there for their kids - leaving is an opportunity. the world is smaller than its ever been, more accessible than its ever been.

this shit ain't changing man. if a bunch of children can get killed and no significant changes to the nations approach to gun violence occur, then when a church gets blown up or swat levels a whole apartment complex (because its gonna inevitably happen) is something gonna give then? hell naw lol. if anything the brush strokes will just got bolder and thicker

Dy's right to an extent.. I've had people express opportunities were available in America. But i honestly have little desire to go move / work there.

AU has it's issues. But maaaaaan Aint that bad.

The BPP is needed now more than ever... to police the communities. Not to hunt cops or get revenge of some sort... Until the government steps up and makes changes across the board black lives are at too great a risk right now.

It's funny hearing the stances flip-flop...
Louisiana is an open carry state... but none of those Right to Bear Arms nutters are speaking up for either case...

I find it sad that the gorilla got more love...

I love the whole "few bad apples" crowd when you got dozens of cops raping a sex trafficked minor, covering up a murder and the Oakland PD rotating through Police Chief after Police Chief. At some point the cops became the mob (or always were that way and shit is finally getting to light), although murdering black people has always been on the agenda, with the added bonus of shielding themselves.

If you guys think racism is bad here...you haven't seen the rest of the world: places like Poland and Russia. And most Asian countries. And many Latin American countries. And especially Middle Eastern countries. Many of these places will openly look at you with a berating look and most will even say something to your face in public (Russia gives no fucks about what we perceive to be racist imagery. Blackface? Hilarious. Monkey face? HAH! I'm not joking either. Russia, Poland, Ukraine are fucked up). Shockingly enough, Israel is actually pretty good in that regard, but that's also because they have a lot of Ethiopian immigrants, and the state itself is very receptive of minorities and the LGBT (including parades and recognizing marriages).

I think American Black folk are especially hurt by racism in the US because of this country's history, and how relatively recently it all 'ended'. I mean, for fuck's sake, it was in legislature. In other countries it was/is just basically fuckery on a personal level, as opposed to executive level. US promises equality, others don't necessarily do that. You expect something from the USA and when you feel like you're not getting it, that's where the anger comes from. Broken and/or false promises hurt a lot.

Regarding Canada, while it may be a solid choice to move to, it's also extremely freaking cold and the winters suck balls. I'd move there, but I hate the cold and I'm not a fan of their economy and economic policies.

Man..................................... of COURSE you ain't gonna go to Russia as a black man lmao

They can't even keep their own young men alive, of course they ain't trying to see Black Americans. And yes of COURSE Central America and a solid portion of South America is completely fucked by the most violent shit you could comprehend. And then there's those middle eastern countries like uh... and the other one and that one over there. fuck israel
I get what you're saying, but the world is a bigger than just those places man. A lot of those other places are better than Chicago, Richmond and Detroit.

American Blacks are slaves to America's history because America's history is all that they're taught. This shit is all that they ever experience.
