I need a decoder ring to determine which shootings spark outrage. When does Rev Al touch down in Chicago?
JHMD: Black civilians murdering black civilians is equivalent to white cops murdering black civilians. Black people are hypocrits for getting more upset over the former.
You should keep a look out for violent acts and murders committed by public servants. People who are entrusted, even paid, to protect the public are naturally more scrutinized than ordinary citizens.
MDMH: Cops (often white) are entrusted by the community to protect black civilians, so their crimes are more egregious and noteworthy.
Unless the President droning American citizens without due process. Yes we can, or something.
JHMD: Obama -the black president, uses drones for military purposes and kills foreign citzens in military operations. This is equivalent to white cops killing black american civilians. Black people are hypocrits for getting more upset about one than the other.
I'm not sure which cliche to use for that rebuttal: "moving the goal post", "dodging the question", " beating a strawman"? Either way, it was a fucking stupid response, and you should be ashamed for making it. Tell me when you actually want to start discussing the topic at hand - the large statistical variation in how minorities, particularly african americans, are subject to greater violent and deadly police force than whites.
MDMH: Obama is unrelated to this discussion as foreign military operations are inequivalent and incomparable to local police actions. You changed the topic without addressing my rebuttal.
Oh, you better believe I'm looking out for just such an opportunity. I need to a t.v. and some new shoes. I plan on getting my fair of social justice through a broken out store front window at the expense of someone who did absolutely nothing wrong but try to work and run a business.
JHMD: The Ferguson demonstrations are not morally justified, they are just an excuse for black people to loot.
Do you think that trolling me is going to hide your inability to debate the topic? The fact that some advantageous idiots looted doesn't de-legitimize the social outcry over police brutality against black people. Are you such a lazy racist that you let the fox news twitter feed fight your battles for you?
MDMH: The moral justification for the demonstrations is obvious and historically founded. Any disingenuous attempt to mischaracterize and undermine the demonstration by focusing on a few criminals amongst thousands of non violent protestors is fairly racist. You changed the topic, again, without addressing my rebuttal.
Who is "debating" the merits of police brutality? Put the straw man down, climb down off that cross of yours and read a little more carefully.
JHMD: I claim that your original argument was simply about the merits of police brutality, even though I know it was about black hypocrisy re: outrage over black on black crime vs police on black crime.
I appreciate your efforts in trying to change the argument mid-thread, but it's pretty easy to just travel back in time 4 or 5 pages and just quote whatever stupid shit you posted.
