What is the controversy surrounding #takeaknee

[Brian37]

I did.  My silence was an answer.

I was talking to Brian.

The poverty argument as applied to this case boils down to:

1. Poverty causes crime.

2. Therefore, I'm protesting police shooting criminals

There's no logical connection from the first to the second.

Oh, so police are also the judge and jury then? Awesome, then lets just skip courts and allow the police to murder anyone they are afraid of. Please tell me that is not your argument?

And didn't you just in a prior post point out that whites get shot by police too? I agree. And if you had fucking read you dipshit, I pointed out a story where a white woman was killed because she brandished a pocket knife. 

You even admitted yourself in this thread that it is lopsided when we talk about injury to blacks and whites when it comes to police encounters. 

I find it sick that you think police should always default to shoot first. There is no fucking point to courts if that is your fucking attitude. I think you need to pull your fucking head out of your delusional Dirty Harry fantasy.

If the black guy just looks threatening, that seems enough for most white people to warrant shooting and killing what they perceive as a dark menace.

^^^^^ That sums up Alpha right there.
