Is war between cops and citizens brewing?

But don't get facts in the way while you're rioting again, trashing your city, causing more violence, because the evil white man is after you.

As far as a " Secret Genocide " against blacks, the facts support that racial profiling and selective enforcement exists. I think if you were black in the U.S, you would have a right to be concerned about your safety and well being. I can certainly understand why black people would feel they are under siege. Again, the President of the U.S has acknowledged there is a problem.

As far as poor black people, you are misinformed. I knew of many black people I went to college with or were professors and administrators. Many of them today are highly regarded professionals in their own right. Some of the officers in question were also black that committed these crimes which indicates this is a much larger issue than white on black.

Racism may well be behind all of these issues or at the least, play a role.

But statistics don't really support the "black victim role", do they?
Also, many black people act as if "the white people" are on the hunt for them - might want to tell them what you just told me.
And that's totally sick, let's hope the guy gets what he deserves? What's the issue?

Possibly. Just living there doesn't necessarily make one an expert on the matter. I could be on Mars and still read articles that point out some inconsistencies here and that generalizing the cops as "evil racist killers" is a no-brainer,
especially when more white people die to police actions than black people and that the very most black people die at the hand of black people.
And what about this:

 

The problem isn't racism.
Yes there are some racist cops, of course there are.
But if you think that every racist cop is automatically a cold blooded lunatic killer - like many black communities claim, you're a tad naive, don't you think?
And mind you I'm talking the general issue here - not a particular case.

Looks like Paul Watson made a video about the whole thing.
