I am sick of violent protests. I am sick of immediate protests. I am sick of people assuming the worst. I am sick of lies about shootings. I am ashamed these people are Americans.

I assume you're also sick of unarmed black men being shot by police? Get rid of that one and the rest of them will probably go away...

Charlotte police say he had a gun. The black community says he he had a book. I will believe the police until proven otherwise.

I heard most bostonians have black mens "arms" in their undie drawer and stuff. The cops took a lot of them though during the whole shelter in place thing.

I'm sick of the whole thing. If people would cooperate with the police they wouldn't be shot. Period.

there is a fine line between doing what you say, and allowing it to become a police state. We all must be aware of growing power regardless of the current ruling party, even one we like.

I always greet an officer politely when pulled over, but I have never been randomly spot checked either.

Until this year I went once a year. Had a thing this year so now I am on the 6 month program.

Hope I don't get spot checked every 6 months by a cop. I might not be as tolerant. Doubt anyone would either.

Just how old do you think I am...Ha!

Not sure where you are getting your news, but you may want to dig a little deeper.

More rioting last night, a man shot, one report says he died, hotel employees injured. Opel, police have said from the start the man had a gun, not a book. Why would you immediately not believe them?

i thought so

some of my big city exploits have led me to the realization that many immigrants are hard working. one opens a restaurant (often living above it to maximize their right offs) and other family members work there and run it but pretend like they dont so they can collect welfare, disability, etc. genius really.

in fairness warm blooded americans have known this trick for a long time, maybe even invented it .

i really do not blame people for taking advantage of a bad system. shows some ingenuity i suppose.

it just always boggles my mind that the immigrants who hate america and become terrorists, despite their "righteousness," never fail to cash the assistance checks they receive from the infidels.

I was kinda 'wow', too...maybe just one 'wow' and not two, like TW...but huh....

I live in a VERY immigrant heavy neighborhood. Of the 16 houses on my block, I doubt that more than one other family besides ours has been in this country more than 25 years...from all over the world - from Poland to Morroco to the Caribbean to Somalia to Nepal, to Mexico and others. Every single one is very hard working, friendly, respectful....These people, even the second generation 'kids', are working full time or two jobs and I'd be extremely surprised if any one of them could swallow their pride enough to accept something they felt they have not worked for and earned. Honestly, that has been my experience with the vast majority of immigrants that I've ever met.

I don't remember saying or even implying that i immediately did not believe the narrative coming from police in Charlotte...

Can you tell me more about what i immediately did?

Also, this immediate thing is gonna screw people up without some clarification... are we telling people about my immediate reaction to the actual shooting or just what i did immediately after i found out about the shooting? There was a lapse of about 2 hours between them i think and i don't want people accusing us of blurring the lines...

What i do believe, and what i said is that if unarmed black men stop getting shot by the police, i.e. Tulsa, then maybe when armed black men are shot by the police, i.e. Charlotte, no one will give a sh*t...

Just my pre-coffee, pre- cigar thought...

Since I put up a post about the Tulsa shooting looking bad, I think it was fair to think you were speaking of Charlotte since you were not specific.

The first mention of Charlotte on this thread was almost 4 hours after my post... "fair" would've been for you to assume I was accurately speaking of one of the many shootings of unarmed black men...
