The guy's sort of annoying, but he makes an interesting point. I think people would have a lot more respect for the police in general if they ever spoke out about this sort of thing. Instead when I see a cop I already half-make the assumption that he approves of it.
Also this has been the best / most civilized Mert-fueled gun debate that I remember on TTH so kutgw.
There needs to be a mentality shift around the perception of guns in the United States but I really don't know what could possibly trigger that. They're no longer a threat (defensively or otherwise) when ownership is so high. Imagine some guy going to plan a small robbery. He'll be packing because, well, why wouldn't you? Meanwhile you'll have police going into a domestic disturbance strapped because both, one or neither those involved could be carrying.
9/11 'but with guns' can't really transpire. And that's probably the one thing it would take. Unless you maybe get the NRA to treat guns as more specialist equipment licensed to the chosen, qualified few. That'll never happen though as the NRA makes too much out of it.
America. Land of the fucked.
Why are you all so binary about this? Stop thinking about this as either / or and accept it can be both / and.
Data on a graph can explain both Mert's and Eric Garner's truth if instead of looking at the overall pattern you focus on what makes up the data that clusters around a specific point.
When people tell you the truth of their life as they observe it (which is all BLM
Is asking of you), there is a shock when it does not match yours because your own is so immediate. It comes in through your eyes; theirs needs to be explained to you.
Your choice is do you judge or do you ask why do I experience mine differently? It is not identity politics wank, all those characteristics just help define different data clusters / vectors / whatever. We are not the center of the universe, just points on a graph. It is pretty arrogant to constantly assert that only you can define how someone else sees the truth of their life.
Otherwise, Sincere is right. You get two competing truths and the dominant one denies other people even the right to experience their own lives in a fashion other than how you dictate it. Which is the fundamental wound at the heart of America (and everywhere else).
Yeah but what if their 'experience' is empirically wrong, and a psychological defense mechanism as a reaction to their own failures as a community. It's like me saying 'I'm a cat' and expecting public policy to be oriented around my feelings rather than fact.
Parting thought: Even if AA are treated more harshly by the police, maybe it's just a racial tax they have to pay in return for living in a more secure society, in the same way Whites pay a racial tax in the form of affirmative action to live in a more equitable society.

After that abortion of a post, I found this from the Dallas Police Chief.
But yeah, more guns = more safety“You can carry a rifle legally and when you have gunfire going on, you usually go with the person that’s got a gun,” he said. “And so our police grabbed some of those individuals, took them to police headquarters and worked it out and figured out that they were not the shooters. But that is one of the real issues with the gun rights issues that we face – that in the middle of a firefight, it’s hard to pick out the good guys and the bad guys.”
Just grab the blackest ones. Wait, don't grab them, that might be dangerous. Just shoot the blackest ones.
What a lovely place, isn't it?As of Sunday, 1,502 people have been shot and killed by on-duty police officers since Jan. 1, 2015.
Lovely.
Eh the shooter was described as using a rifle. So people who fit that description became suspects; pretty straight forward.
I knew this whole thing was a ruse by feminazis. Their empowerment has meant the end for the male population.
So what you're saying is large amounts of guns made it harder for the police to do their job and potentially delayed them in finding the real suspect?
Yeah in the same way as if everyone wore red colored shirts.
Harvard Study by Liberal Black Economist: Blacks shot at less than White by Police
"When it comes to the most lethal form of force — police shootings — the study finds no racial bias.
“It is the most surprising result of my career,” said Roland G. Fryer Jr., the author of the study and a professor of economics at Harvard. The study examined more than a thousand shootings in 10 major police departments, in Texas, Florida and California."

I've never once portrayed myself as sophisticated nor do I tell you you're shit for the benefit of others.
I just truly think you're a dull pull-string doll of a human being whose never once came up with his own thoughts or ideas.
Being a parrot for Fox is no better than being a parrot for MSNBC, no matter how you want to dress it up.
I understand your sentiment but that's not it. He doesn't have "his views". He has catchphrases and hot takes.
There is nothing to gain from discourse that has no hope for middle ground. It's like arguing with a Liverpool supporter that Man United are "bigger" than them. Or with Harold that immigration may have benefit. It'll go nowhere no matter what.
When you encounter these robots, it's best to try and turn them off entirely instead of giving them a platform to bore everyone with.
He trusts 'The Liberal Media' when it agrees with him
Breh they found no racial bias in fucking Texas, tour is over boyo.

He would, of course, not have an AK47 to rob the waffle house in the first place if he hadn't been able to buy one with the weekly shopping.

Three police officers have been shot dead in Baton Rouge, apparently.
Ah fuck.
CNN states at least three officers were killed, seven total who were shot.

Thank God Black Lives Matter have made it to Britain. Yes, they have to focus on deaths in police custody (not really a race issue) and 'inequalities' (if not the same, then it is surely counter-productive for left-wingers to break these things down ethnically) rather than police shootings that don't happen here, but I'm sure they've got some valuable insights to share with us all. lol also at Owen Jones trying to get in on the ground floor for when Momentum start editing him out of old photos. Twat.
Their protest today was about that guy whose shooting kicked off the London Riots five years ago. What the fuck's going on?
Some twats will use any reason to be outraged.
Public opinion overwhelmingly on your side? Make them late for their holidays just to really drive it home.
Them riots made for some Classic TTH (lol at SG). Classic TTH, and then the courts slamming people for all sorts for the rest of the month. What a fitting end to the Establishment Summer of 2011.
If only they had the same passion about being gainfully employed.
SG posting Marcotti tweets about the riots is one of my biggest lols in the history of these boards. It was amazing.
All these twats have done is made me hope that the next time some racist arsehole is picking a black person to murder, they pick one of those wankers lying across the M4.
It's fucking madness. I saw a tweet from this #BLM cunt the other day. Basically she went to a BLM rally and there was this older white lady with dreadlocks there.
She got someone to take a picture of her basically dressing the lady down because of her hair.
Mind you, I think white people wearing dreadlocks is inherently corny, but what kind've world do these people live in where posting
"Saw a 'POC ally' today at the BLM rally but I was just not having it with these dreads #CulturalAppropriation"
As a caption of a picture you had someone else take of you while arguing with some old lady who was there to SUPPORT YOUR FUCKING CAUSE.
"Nah take a picture of me talking shit to this elderly woman. I'm 19 years old and know everything about the world." My God.
Personally, I'm a firm believer that #NoLivesMatter and we are all insignificant specks on the Universe's windshield. Not that any of you asked. But GOD that shit grinds my fucking gears.
Black Lives Matter UK closed an airport down today because 'climate change is a racist crisis', and even the commenters are lolling at them (also, everyone involved in the protest was white).
Unauthorised entry to the 'secure' area of the airport like the apron or the runway really should see you tasered immediately and / or forcibly removed before you're summarily imprisoned.
Every time this thread gets bumped I get sad cause I think someone else in my country has been shot
Wind it down, lads. It's getting a bit Fathers 4 Justice.
I didn't think anyone could be more obnoxious than the more out-there elements of Black Lives Matter in the US, like Ta-Nehisi Coates claiming someone was racist when they proposed a black actor other than Idris Elba to play Bond because that black actor wasn't actually in the running so he was a safe 'white' choice, but our branch has outdone them in about two months.
There's a growing trend of people undermining their own cause by trying to portray it as a symptom of something bigger, or as something bigger than it is. The earliest example that immediately comes to mind in this context is Serena Williams telling anyone who'd listen that she was a victim of racism when someone said she looked a bit masculine with her twenty inch bisceps, but it's probably been quietly going on for years.
This place hasn't been that busy for years.Every time this thread gets bumped I get sad cause I think someone else in my country has been shot
Looks like they finally caught someone alive.
And yes, when the article said, "20 year-old Turk" I did wonder if it was Mert.
Well on that basis, all those of Turkish heritage should be expelled I think. The Donald would probably agree with me.
They aren't sending their best, they're sending killers and cuckers.
When that was first flashing up the other day the early reports described him as Mexican. Yeah right, mate. Mexicans haven't got time for this.
'I think he was a Muslim.'
'Well, you know... Could it have been a Trump supporter with a tan?'
'No.'
'I'll put "Hispanic", "possible Trump supporter", right?'
Two active shooters at Ohio State University. Fuck sake.
EDIT: So I'm watching a live feed on Youtube and the guy doing the voice over just said, "this is currently trending number two on Twitter."
Is this what it's come to? Fuck me what a fucking shambles of a country.
Why is it always schools in America being shot at? Is there a reason?
