So you don't live in the states and think because you hear news in the liberal media that you know what is occurring here? I'm a cop in a large city, I'm on the front lines and can respond to this based on actual experience. What life experience can you base your information on?
Look up the gangs in our country. Rarely are they white kids involved in turf wars over drugs. It's primarily black and Hispanic kids. Therefor it goes to reason, cops would end up in more deadly physical force situations with minorities while working in gang territories in these inner cities.
Where there are drugs, there are guns. Both guns and drugs =gangs. Gangs= much higher percentage on minorities. ITS VERY SIMPLE.
You keep bringing up the same couple of incidents to make the point of SO MANY black people being shot by cops.
Probably should look at those FBI stats that you said didn't exist.
Car accidents are the main cause of death for police officers. About 75% of on duty deaths for cops are motor vehicle related. Most accidents involve more than one vehicle. That is what my prior statement about accidents causing more deaths than firearms is based on.
You continue to make assumptions on my behalf, I'm not talking about every account of a death in the USA, I'm talking about, I'm getting sick of repeating myself, the pathetic gunning down of unarmed people recently and I also mentioned the atrocities in New Orleans, I'm well aware of your gun crime, and the whole gun debate is another hot topic I'm not going to get into again here for reasons i've already expressed on this site. Your "FBI stats" are incomplete and disorganized, as acknowledged buy their spokesperson, I'm a little more thorough than that. Watching live video's isn't part of your "liberal media", its watching events in real time, under real circumstances, I'm not taking anyones word, nor are these the only instances, I'm be stuffed if I will post everything here, I used those examples as a point , I am as sceptical of the media, both "liberal" as you put it and the rednecks at Fox, our very own politically motivated grub Rupert Murdoch and his bottom of the barrel Fox news rubbish. I am not going to get into a debate on the US crime stats, demographic or its relates cause and effect. Questioning what my "life experiences"are, are none of your business, but i will tell you, I am quite intelligent and switched on, I am not young, I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and have seen probably most of the things you've dealt with, My commentary comes from a very broad base and I wouldn't comment if I hadn't witnessed both sides of this story, regardless of whether here in Australia or in the USA, we have mostly the same issues, just not the rampant gun problem, it shows in our crime stats, this is NOT the first time i've had this conversation and i'm not anti police, I'm anti the #$%*s that abuse the power given to them by the state and that is something i've witnessed first hand, more than once... I well and truly understand what you are saying, it seems you aren't listening to my points at all, some cops are #$%*s, nothing, not you or anything else will change that, I don't envy the job but thats no excuse for some to use the system as they see fit and thats what we were discussing here, well I was ...
