Dallas erupts in gunfire at BLM protest

[khanable]

I recall during drivers education we were instructed to keep both hands on the wheel and state your movements clearly before doing them, e.g., "My license is in my wallet in my back pocket, I'm going to reach into my back pocket to retrieve it". Do so once the officer acknowledges it. Is this just not taught anymore or are people just dumb?

Dunno where anyone gets off thinking they can be like "oh hey I have a gun lol" and then start making sudden movements.

You're about 9 months past the point where all the required info was available to make this decision,

i've been pulled over with a literal pile of sporterized firearms sitting in my pickup on the way back from the range. other than wasting 30 minutes of my life while the officer ran checks on the serial numbers of all the firearms, i was nothing worse off for it. regardless, i don't want to die because some fucking stupid cop is crazy and/or having a bad day and reacts poorly to a completely legal behavior.

I live in the Dallas area - honestly never expect this to happen here. I am very much a "F the police" kind of guy, but i would never wish this type of harm on anyone. The sickest part is the BLM twitter trolls encouraging this to happen again in other cities. As sad as it is that these officers (some 20 year old kids) died needlessly, maybe the police will wake up and realize we do not live in soviet Russia, they are not soldiers, and they are not afforded gestapo-like privileges when dealing with the public.

I personally think the main problem right now is how everyone is upset that you have certain people that are reacting differently to the police shootings than to the shooting of black people with cops.

I personally don't have alot of remorse for a criminal resisting arrest, on probation, with a rap sheet 3 pages long getting shot when he clearly is attacking officers.....

I didn't see the point of shooting the guy in the passenger seat of his car.....but i didn't see the full story. Just the video started after the fact.

However, I do know these cops last night were not doing anything but their jobs and were being picked off one by one. That is a tragedy in my opinion.

It's good to have all the facts when quoting statistics, sheepboy.

Did you know that you're far more likely to be shot and killed by police if you're white than if you're black?

In 2016, there are been 566 people killed by police. Of those, 136 were black. Last year, 306 of the 1,146 people killed by police were black. Once again, the largest race group affected were whites.

I had to stop here because you are just so INHERENTLY stupid.

136/566 = 24% So in 2016 24% of people killed by the police were black... yet the Black population is as 12.2-12.4% of the US.


If white deaths made up the same raiton as black deaths based on their population (63% of the USA). There would need to have been 713 white people killed in 2016 alone.

So no.. its FAR more likely to be killed by the police as a black person than a white person.

BASIC FUCKING MATH.

Also I think the percent of police killing was around 50% for whites.. which actually demonstrate that whites are less likely than their population dictates to be killed by cops.
