Have your attitudes or opinions changed as a result of the recent killings?
When you add all the racial killings to the Jihadist killings, and all the crimes committed by all the so-called refugees, and the unnecessary deaths and suicides of veterans, then it is all the more imperative that Mr. Obama should step down RIGHT NOW.

While I happen to agree ( and believe I agree with your reasoning) is there any particular reason you say so.

What is the difficulty here? Is truth racist?

No just very inconvenient.

If they face the truth they might realize that everything they've ever thought/believed is a lie or the least very silly/embarrassing. They just might figure out they aren't who the think they are, want to be or portray themselves to be.

And unless I miss my guess mirrors are very scarce in their houses...

would you say a police officer was racial profiling if he told dispatch:
"The two occupants just look like people that were involved in a robbery,” the officer continues. “The driver looks like one of our suspects because of the wide-set nose.”
tulc(of course there wont be a trial or a defense offered for this particular case because that "suspect" was shot and killed shortly that transmission) :sigh:

No more than if he had said a thin nose. Are we so pc now that mentioning physical characteristics are verboten?

So that would be a "Nope , stopping a guy because he has a wide nose wouldn't be racial profiling."? :scratch:

Blacks with money are more likely to be harassed by the police than whites with money. Yep.
Conviction, I don't know. You tell me.

My old army buddy is black, at the time, he just finished his 4th deployment. 7 years of service. He got pulled over trying to visit some friends because he happened to be black and also drive a nice car.. which he bought with that deployment money.

Exactly. It is a double standard and it is unjust. We need to acknowledge this and change societal behaviors.

Well, we can start by letting people know that if they feel they were wrongly stopped they can challeage it in court NOT violenly on the street.

You may not know, but were they LOOKING for that particular type of car?

Cops pull people over out of boredom sometimes. When I was a teen we got pulled over all the time for no reason. The cops just wanted something to do, check out our girls, see if we were drinking, and mildly harass us. They knew us and our cars. They cruised the beer bars (18 for that then) checking out the known cars. They also "bushwacked" us (sneaking up and shining flashlights on us) when we were parked and making out. We were all white, no blacks at all in our part of town.

Police do what they do......police. They stop people.....because they can.

and when they do you can file a complainent with the department and/or if arrested for no reason get it thrown out of court.

It happens in court all the time...over and over and over again. Have you gone through the court system for challenging a ticket? Do you have a couple days to take off everytime it happens? How many times would you go through the hassle before you used social media and other avenues to complain?
Finally, very few protests are violent. Inconvenient for people and bothersome? Yes. Violent? Seldom.
