    So all the white people killed by cops, which greatly out number anyone else, all deserved it while the minorities are being wrongfully killed? Sounds a bit off
    Who says that besides you?

    For cops to kill whites, the threshold is probably reasonably high, so a white being killed by cops probably deserves it.

    For cops to kill blacks, the threshold is unreasonably low, so we see vids of cops killing blacks just because they can, for no real reason, and getting away with it.

    I been pretty clear in the past about my stance on police brutality, i wasn't in that past quote. By no means did I mean that being white and killed by the police means that they deserve it. The examples that i gave in that post were one's that actually happened to blacks at the hands of police.

    I meant to use those examples to counter DPGs logic that since Caucasians are killed by police in higher, raw, totals then blacks should focus more on stopping black on black crime. My point is that the raw totals may be higher for Caucasians that doesn't mean they are treated worse by the police than minorities are. That's not to say they aren't.
    Well your last quote is mutually exclusive with that take.

    Black folks are ins utionally marginalized. The DoJ report into Ferguson shows how its done all across the nation. The good ole boys elitism is still alive and well particularly in the south.

    DPG is a binary simpleton who is trying to put it into all or nothing terms. Don't allow him to force that simpleminded nonsense.

    They all will be acquitted to brutalize and murder again, and again, and they know it.

    Baltimore's murder rate is now more akin to what was normal in the Middle Ages than today:

    This also goes for other holes, such as cago, Detroit, DC, and Oakland, where racist liberals have made it impossible for the cops to do their jobs. The War on Cops truly is an embarrassment to our entire country.

    In the last decade Chicago PD paid out half a billion dollars to citizens it abused.

    They're doing it wrong.

    which is to kill colored people with impunity and zero public scrutiny, right? and any criticism of this is disloyalty to police?

    more deep background:

    Baltimore officials today approved a $9 million settlement — the largest in city history — to James “J.J.” Owens, who spent two decades in prison for a murder he didn’t commit.


    Owens’ case, and that of another man prosecuted for the same crime, was the subject of an investigation by ProPublica and The Atlantic last September that examined how defendants are pressured into controversial plea deals despite proof of their innocence.


    Owens’ payout adds to Baltimore’s growing tab for decades of misconduct by its police force. In November, a jury awarded another wrongfully convicted Baltimore man, Sabein Burgess, $15 million. Like Owens, Burgess had sued, alleging civil rights violations by detectives.


    Because Baltimore is self-insured, city taxpayers are ultimately on the hook for these payouts, which total $24 million in the last six months alone.


    Now the city is girding itself for more costly lawsuits in the aftermath of a massive police corruption scandal that led to the conviction of eight officers earlier this year.

    But in 2006, semen found in the victim was tested, and the DNA didn’t match Owens or Thompson. Other key forensic evidence proved to be unrelated to the men or wrongly analyzed. Instead of letting the men go free, the Baltimore state’s attorney’s office doubled down. After Owens was granted a new trial, the prosecutors refused to concede his innocence and instead tried to force him into a troubling deal known as an Alford plea. If he took it, Owens would be quickly released from prison and allowed to maintain his innocence on the record, but he’d still be a convicted murderer. And, significantly for cities with checkered histories, the deal would have prevented him from suing. For their part, prosecutors would keep a win on the books and avoid admitting a mistake.


    Owens refused, and prosecutors left him languishing in prison for 16 months before admitting there wasn’t enough evidence to re-try him. On the day his new trial was set to begin in October 2008, the prosecutor dropped the charges, and Owens walked out fully exonerated. Thompson, however, took the Alford plea and was left with no recourse to sue for his own wrongful incarceration.
