Blue Lives Don't Exist

[Duty]

I use sarcasm because it shows the flip side -

You say I assume the best of the cops - but that is the same thinking that got us "Not voting for Hillary is a vote for Trump".

I do NOT assume the best of cops. Cops are just as capable of fuckery as any other group of people.

I simply state that we do not have enough information in this case to make an informed judgement -as is usually the case for this sort of thing.

Oh, horseshit. Every single time this sort of thing comes up on the forum, you presumptively assume the cops are in the right, while excoriating people who assume the cops are in the wrong. It’s like everyone’s crystal ball is cracked but yours.

I think that the US police do a bloody difficult job for not much money, not to mention being on the receiving end of bare hatred from BLM et al in this age. All three of the high profile police shootings on which BLM is primarily built resisted arrest in the extreme or flat out ignored officers' instructions at gunpoint (this latest incident). 

Again I will also post the UBER pertinent stat that: abt 40% of police killings are of black people and abt 40% of the prison population are black people. THEREFORE it is both fair, logical and civil to give our angelic protectors and guardians of the rule of law the benefit of any remaining doubt which might exist and judge that, overwhelmingly, when it comes to police shootings, the US police are functionally colour-blind and NOT monstrous pathologically homicidal racists.

Fuck BLM back to the divisive shithole of ignorance where it came from.
