You improperly re-stated what he said. You went straight to the un-intellectual "I don't really have any facts on my side so here's this" of "Racist".

This is coming from a huge supporter of the Police as my dad moonlighted as an officer when I was a kid to help support us while getting his business up and going.packgrad said:MrStateFanGuy said:
I cannot imagine being so upset that black people don't want murdered by cops that you say you'll stop watching sports. What is wrong with some of you?
I cannot imagine being so ignorant to believe police murdering black people is a big problem in this country.
I will also say that I think systemic racism in policing is a problem, as well as in other areas of society. I am NOT a supporter of the BLM organization, but highly support the underlying message and efforts related to establishing equality across the board for everyone. I also don't have a problem with Wake choosing to do this. If State does similar, I really hope it's not BLM, but will support it either way.
Oh, I think the murder of innocent black people is terrible. I don't think black lives are indiscriminately being taken by police though. The whole narrative is horse*****
Cuz buddy, this is pretty damn racist.
"I think black people upset over the killing of black people by police officers are full of ****" is a position you are perfectly entitled to, but it's definitely, definitely racist.

"I don't think black lives are indiscriminately being taken by the police".
That's a big difference from "I think blacks upset over police killing black people are FOS"
Not what he said at all. He said he thinks that police aren't willy-nilly just killing blacks. And the numbers show that is EXACTLY the case. Police kill more whites than they do blacks.
Blacks kill more whites than whites kill blacks. Blacks kill more people than ANYONE. And they're only 13% of the population.
Police killings of blacks is such a small issue, that it really shouldn't even be an issue, compared to other types of killings.
If you look at a graph of all the blacks killed in any given year, the ones killed by police will be a TINY percentage. And then the ones that are controversial....TRULY controversial, meaning that "the police officer outright F-ed up"....those are an even smaller sliver of the total.
But every time the cell phone cameras come out, and something happens.....we never see the entire incident. We'll see a snippet. Enough to get everyone outraged. And THEN we'll eventually see the whole thing, and nearly every time we see it and say "Oh...no wonder it ended up where it did".
That is a fact. But before we finally see that complete video in all these very few cases, (relatively speaking) the protests and riots and reporting and outrage has already happened. And you can't dial it back at that point.
