This is why we riot

Protests around the United States are boiling over after Minneapolis man George Floyd was killed by police. Floyd, accused of forging a $20 check, had his neck compressed by an officer’s knee while in handcuffs for roughly nine minutes before later dying. Other recent instances of racism against African Americans in the country have led to massive protests against police brutality and systemic, institutional racism that many feel have gone unchecked for decades.

In 2019 data of all police killings in the country compiled by Mapping Police Violence, black Americans were nearly three times more likely to die from police than white Americans. Other statistics showed that black Americans were nearly one-and-a-half times more likely to be unarmed before their death.

Most states’ police forces killed black people at a higher rate per capita rate than white people, with Illinois, New York and Washington D.C. carrying some of the largest discrepancies by state. D.C., with a black population of nearly 50 percent, had 88 percent of all police killings be against black Americans – a discrepancy of over 38 percentage points. Rhode Island had the largest discrepancy of 44 points, albeit with a much smaller sample size of four police killings in 2019 – two of them being African American.

While much of the western states have smaller discrepancies overall than eastern ones, large cities like Reno, Oklahoma City and Anaheim all had higher police killing rates of black people than the total U.S. murder rate. Others above the U.S. murder rate were St. Louis, Madison, Wis., Scottsdale, Ariz. and two others.

Overall, in 2019, 24 percent of all police killings were of black Americans when just 13 percent of the U.S. population is black – an 11-point discrepancy. Mapping Police Violence also showed that 99 percent of all officers involved in all police killings had no criminal charges pressed against them.

I've already addressed the "proportionality" argument. Thanks for playing. I don't plan on engaging you in any worthwhile conversation, as you've already outed yourself to be a troll, not caring about any honest dialogue.
 
The real reason that blacks riot is because of the frustration of knowing that they just can't make it in America even with almost the entire infrastructure bending over backwards with affirmative action plan after affirmative action plan.

All other racial groups would consider it a blessing if blacks advanced.

The scapegoat will be institutionalized "racism".

Every other group that is here in America is doing better.

Latinos are doing well and starting to really be respected because of their positive work ethics.

It you think it is the color of your skin look at Indians from India. They are crushing the boards.

From the black perspective "racism" is never well defined. "Racism" is an invisible force that "Whites" use to continually keep blacks enslaved? Not sure who is responsible for perpetuating this myth.

At the root is the concept of assimilate vs multi culturalism. I could say more here but it would all fall on deaf ears.

The third deficiency in the black failure to advance is their leadership is only interesting in prolonging the strive for their own benefit.

Blacks riot because they do not know what else to do.
 
Trying to claim that my attitude towards NFL player protests brought looting, arson, and rioting upon ourselves is absurd.

Except that it's not. People who don't feel respected and heard decided to amp up the protests. Maybe a little understanding and respect prior would give you a better chance to avoid these more violent and damaging events.

Welcome to what happens when a lunatic runs a large country. He had people shot at with rubber bullets and tear gas so he could grandstand at a church. Just when you thought the US couldn't get more ridiculous it does.

I post to address whatever issue is presented, not simply to debate you. I'm fine with you not talking to me anymore.

Not sure you understand the concept of defending one's home, and Castle Laws in Florida. You can be on the street and throwing a firebomb at my house and I can put a bullet in your head from my porch and I'm defending my house.
I've lived in the Gun-Shine state for 3 decades now and am well aware of that law.

But I listened to what Dirty Harriet had to say. Did you? If you come into their house.
 
The truth. You can't handle the truth. If you want to know about real racism Remember Rwanda


Rwanda genocide: 100 days of slaughter

In just 100 days in 1994, about 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists. They were targeting members of the minority Tutsi community, as well as their political opponents, irrespective of their ethnic origin.
LOL ahhh you do know Hutu and Tutsi are both .... black groups of people? Right, you're not that clueless?

Like Shiite and Sunni? And RedNecks and SkinHeads? Hahahaha
