I can understand people disagreeing with that sentiment but what's racist about it?
In the US we're proud of having due process as part of our laws. IE it's not up to thick coppers to try, convict, and execute. Thank fuck.

I did not say that (why the feck am I even arguing with a "Florida Man"). The police were called because someone was purportedly trying to pass a fake $20 note. Not clear if it was George Floyd and certainly not warrants someone being choked to death over the course of 8 minutes.Florida Man wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 8:38 amYes, I expect he was just innocently taking a pleasant afternoon stroll when the cops randomly took him down for absolutely no reason at all apart from his race.

What exactly is the "long line" of black people being killed by cops?
FBI and Washington Post statistics show that since 01/01/2019 there have been 28 fatal police shootings of unarmed whites and 12 fatal police shootings of unarmed blacks.
it's just that when cops kill an unarmed white person, CNN doesn't show it. They wait until there's a killing of an unarmed black and then they spend a week whipping up mobs by claiming the black guy was killed by police due to his skin color.

Do you have any statistics for blacks being choked to death by cops? And what's this about CNN? Do you realize that most people don't confine themselves to US network news?sdforbath wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 10:20 amWhat exactly is the "long line" of black people being killed by cops?

Apparently looters and arsonists have been busy in Cambodia town in Long Beach, CA. Looting a pharmacy or something. That's what my wife told me, and then she followed up with: "Just like that, nobody likes black people." Disregarding the fact that the looters are just as likely to be white rabble rousers, I'm not going to get involved in US identity politics. I just don't give a shit anymore. If you think looting and burning down people's business and properties is going to win you any friends you are a fucking idiot.BrianofCambodia wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 7:40 amI wonder what Cambodians would say if a black guy tweeted that Cambodians who are murdered by the police in the US 'deserve it'.
Here's a few for you look up after a quick google search. I believe these are all from 2019/2020. Some are horrendous, like no knocks and getting the wrong address.sdforbath wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 10:20 amWhat exactly is the "long line" of black people being killed by cops?

Ahmaud Arbery was killed by white men who aren't cops. Why don't you list all the white people killed by blacks in the USA? It would be a really long list.

It's not easy to say, as official stats on police deaths are hard to come by it seems.
" Like the Washington Post, and Killed By Police, Fatal Encounters’ data comes primarily from media reports. But unlike the previously mentioned sites, Fatal Encounters also counts citizens who were stabbed, tasered, or beaten to death, or otherwise died during a police encounter. Fatal Encounters also includes suicides and people who were killed by suspects during police encounters, but we removed these numbers from our tally.
After comparing the Fatal Encounters dataset to the Post’s we determined that the Post failed to identify 117 deaths that fit Fatal Force’s criteria. The Post’s list also had 13 duplicate entries; three deaths that occurred prior to 2019; two people who died, but weren’t killed by a cop and one person who did not die at all.
Fatal Encounters’ dataset also had mistakes. The errors include three duplicate entries; two people who were not killed, and one death that they completely missed. But FE also listed 117 shootings that fit the Washington Post criteria but were not included in the Washington Post dataset. The total number of people who died during encounters with police, according to Fatal Encounters, totaled 1,777. When we removed suicides, the number fell to 1,531—forty-four fewer deaths than 2018.
And we went a step further.
We also subtracted victims who drowned; people who “fell from a height;” and those who died in car chases while fleeing from cops, and a few who died from non-police-related medical emergencies. We added some officer-involved deaths that did not fit the Washington Post’s criteria, including:
10 shootings by off-duty cops
21 vehicular deaths
6 people who died from asphyxiation or being restrained
6 people who died from beatings or bludgeonings
5 medical emergencies while in police custody
31 taserings
1 man (John Watson III) who was shot by police in 2019 but died in 2020.
After we sorted through the data, here are some other startling facts about 2019’s officer-involved killings:
A black person was three-and-a-half times more likely to be killed by cop than a white person.
A Hispanic person was one-and-a-half times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a white person
An unarmed black person was three times more likely to be killed by police than a white person with no weapon
An unarmed black person fleeing the scene was six times more likely than a white person to be killed by a police officer

How many of you have heard of Tony Timpa? It's zero of you, right? Exactly zero. Why is that? Was this death on video not shocking and sensational enough? Or is there another reason why there was far less press coverage?
