Headline: Black Man Shot And Killed By Police After They Found Him Asleep In A Car At A Wendy's

Reality: Black Man Shot And Killed By Police After Drunk Driving, Resisting Arrest, and Grabbing a Cop's Taser

I'm sure they've got body cam footage of him grabbing for the taser right? It's funny how cop's always claim someone is grabbing for a taser, or a gun, but there's nevee any footage of it. I've seen a ton of people arrested. I've seen people struggle. Never have I seen anyone reach for anything on a cops belt. They use this as an excuse to justify the unjustifiable. Maybe they should start wearing those cams, and turning them on. They are as much for the cops protection as they are for the public. Why are so many officers against them?

He didn’t just reach for the taser — he took the taser, ran, cop chased, he went to shoot cop with taser, and he was shot by that cop oranother cop. 

All on multiple videos. 

Cop was fired. 

Wendy’s was burnt to the ground. 

Had to look this story up as I tend to ignore the news. Looks to be a pretty justified use of deadly force. No argument from me.

It’s borderline illegal to speak your mind if you disagree with BLM or the left. 

Sad that professors have to write anonymous letters instead of having open debate on college campuses. 

Freedom of thought and expression was once thought to be sacrosanct in the college classroom. Now it is just another victim of Political Correctness. If you do not agree with the current vogue of thought, stfu

Who do you think will suffer the most from not having open and honest debates on this issue?

“The vision of the left, full of envy and resentment, takes its worst toll on those at the bottom — whether black or white — who find in that paranoid vision an excuse for counterproductive and ultimately self-destructive attitudes and behavior.” — Thomas Sowell 

If, BLM really matter why are they not protesting and vandalizing at Planned Parenthood locations ? 

Planned Parenthood kills an estimated 247 black Americans every day..and not a chirp from the BLM rioters...since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973, abortion has killed an estimated 20 million black babies..and till not a word,,, how sorrowful

The Sleeping Giant is

“When I was growing up, we were taught the stories of people whose inventions and scientific discoveries had expanded the lives of millions of other people. Today, students are being taught to admire those who complain, denounce and demand.” — Thomas Sowell 

You ever hear Hillary Clinton shout with joy for Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood? Yep, she was a great American feminist according to Hillary. Top of the class, cream of crop. What Hillary knows, but won't expound on, and hopes minority women won't discover, is that Sanger was not concerned about women's rights, she was concerned about minority race population control. If she were still alive all the abortion clinics would be in minority neighborhoods, not next door to college campuses.

In 1965, 76.4 percent of black children were born to married women. 

Today, 67 percent of black children are born to single mothers. 

Single white mothers are 3x more likely to live in poverty than black families with both parents in the home.

So what is the real privilege in this country?

That would be being a rich single /married white mother ..

What are your parameters for "both parents in the home"? Married? This would be a hard statement to offer any real statistical data on being that many alternative couples don't marry per se but remain coupled and raise their children together.

Almost a complete statistical inverse.... Facts like these detox are kryptonite to the left.. 

I'd love to see a congressman have the balls to start a discussion on solutions that can actually result in positive outcomes for black communities..... Like school choice.  The left has pushed against this for years.  How about giving everybody the choice to go to the school of their choosing.  It's all about FAMILY & EDUCATION.  Give people the tools to be successful, and they are likely to end up on the right side of the law AND earn a decent salary (i.e. close the wage gap) !  

I’ll tell you one thing. Google is swamped with propaganda when it comes to 

1. Welfare by race (which leads to #2) 

2. Broken homes by race (which leads to #3) 

3. School choice/Charter schools/Teachers unions/inner city schools  

I’m not sure if that’s because the topics are viewed as insensitive or if they’re hiding results for more evil reasons. 

But this is the discussion where there are real answers and the subjects are barely talked about. 

Spending per student at inner city schools in cities like Chicago, NYC, Boston, LA, etc is MASSIVE. The way teachers unions (Democrats) have manipulated the system is a disgrace. 

Democrats will say we need MORE money for welfare. And we need MORE money for inner city schools. And never address the corruption and failures of the current systems. 

Absolutely disgraceful. 

And today’s climate has made it borderline illegal/political suicide (especially in blue states) to talk the way I’m talking. And that’s a travesty because that means the problems will never get fixed. 

If you want to see how disproportionately black people are in prison — google makes that very easy. 

If you want to see how disproportionately black people are treated by cops — google makes it very easy. 

If you want examples of racism — sad stories about young black people being killed by some white person over the last 100 years — stories everywhere. 

But if you try to figure out welfare by race or single parent households by race or any of the real issues — damn near impossible. You have to go on a treasure hunt and spend some serious time combing through propaganda looking for the real statistics. 

Google ‘welfare by race’ — you’ll be convinced that it’s a white people problem. 

Couldn't have said it any better, Detox ! 

BarneysDad, I asxed you this before and you probably missed it.. Is the picture you have by your handle... a pic of Barney ?
