...And what will it take to get the media to behave responsibly and stop inciting riots by playing up lies before there is any real evidence of wrongdoing by police? Ferguson was burned by people chanting lies, and Staten Island was also rocked by lies. We are glad that the National Guard is in Baltimore to stop more nonsense by con artists. We also wonder why they were NOT needed in Utah - why was the Taylor shooting by a police officer different? And why was it covered more extensively in the British news media than by the NY Times?
Here is a thought: how about staying in school, learning to read and do math and/or learning a skill??? Here is another thought: how about taking advantage of what the tax payers offer you....free school and infrastructure? How about not destroying where you live? Or are the 60's a distant memory? How about raising your children with some respect? How about realizing that when you are arrested for breaking the law, it is because you broke the law? Not everything is because you are black.
A person might wonder first if you don't know the difference between Salt Lake City and Baltimore. But the rest of your comment makes it clear that you do. As to the British media, that applies to a lot of stories and it goes against your argument. The Taylor shooting, most people would say, was dort of justified if you have very low standards for law enforcers. But even the lowest standards do not cover things like the Freddie Grey killing.
Your second paragraph is not clear. You say something like "How about recognizing when you are arrested for breaking the law it is because you broke the law". Do you understand that some people believe that killing a person in custody who is restrained is more of a crime than, for example, selling drugs? And do you understand that killing a person in custody often does not get treated as a criminal matter?
i find your passive words and aggressor in your user name funny.
lets be honest. whites and blacks have different mentalities and different opportunities and positions in the world. whites are comfortable. they have food. jobs. homes. investments. 401K. they are not feeling the pressure. they do not want to lose what they have worked for. so they accept the iron grip of our government. even if all the news coverage was about cops killing white people they still would not care enough to risk their comforts. that's why i said wait till the financial system collapses. when whites have lost everything they worked for due to corruption they will be burning and killing too. then it won't be about black or white. it's the people vs the government.
Although a lot of the attitudes are divided along racial lines, it is quite a bit more complicated, especially when you add in the economy.
Americans are taught, by their government, that violence works. So when they have a problem their response is going to be violence. Why? Because it works, according to the government.
The racial thing is a sort of sub drama.
