No one cares if a black cop shoots a white person Whoops. Sorry, wasn't clear. My fault. You indicate that to prevent a white cop from being in a position of shooting a black person and being accused of racism, there sould only be black cops in black areas. Since you indicate there are black areas, I have to assume there are white areas, which I guess would have at least some white cops since you didn't indicate only blacks would be employed as police officers. It would then follow that to prevent any white cop/black person confrontation, it would be necessary that blacks not be in white areas. If I were a cop I would not work in an area that is predominately black. Not in today’s world. And yes, there are areas that are predominately black. Actually, I wouldnt be a cop at all in today’s world because a few bad apples and now they are all assumed to be racist and bad. But if I had to be a cop, I would only do so in an area that was predominately white. My life and my safety matter to me and I would think both were in jeopardy if I were a cop in a black area. Everyone is a Monday morning quartback from the safety of their office chairs. A cop saves a black girl from being stabbed by another black girl lunging at her with a knife, and he is vilified. That would be a hard nope from me.

The reason nothing much happened is because nothing much happened, except for a few isolated incidents. The bulk of the protesters wandered around doing little. There would of been much more video otherwise. Read the charges list for all the arrested, not much of anything. Play your games with Bob Ross, DJAdvocate, billsonboard and whoever else, don’t play with me. I won’t bother wasting my time going back and forth with you or trying to help you see when you’re saying stupid shit. If you consider your posting style as playing devil’s advocate sometimes, then say that, and I might participate occasionally. But if you’re just saying shit, trying to argue just for the sake of arguing, you can just keep it moving when it comes to anything I post. Now, you have a good evening. Mmmmkay? You cannot get those minutes of your life back. Just don't.

Those are "isolated incidents". A black kid playing with a toy gun? Whole different story. Shoulda known better....got what's coming to him....didn't put it down in the 1.2 seconds between when the cop shouted at him and shot him....whatever. Same old actors, same old story. Right! There were 140 officers injured that day....I guess 140 "isolated incidents?" Yes. 140 "isolated incidents" in the same place at the same time. Jesus Hurley, get your shit together.

Officers were killed and injured!!!! But keep saying nothing happened if it makes you feel better.... I don't feel anyway at all about it. Some are wishing that there was more killing and death, not me. Going by the charges applied to each protestor, not much happened. How many cops were killed in the DC protest ? I said killed and INJURED. One officer was killed...140 were injured. Tell me how that is "isolated incidents?" And there are hundreds of pictures and videos online showing the opposite of what you are saying, but you just refuse to believe what your eyes are shown. That is why most people on here aren't even acknowledging your arguments.

Nothing much happened, except people died, cops beaten, antique woodwork was destroyed, and shit was literally smeared on the walls of the Capitol building. Nevermind the fact that a confederate flag was carried inside the Capitol.

Yeah, pretty much. I thought I'd laugh along with you at the silliness you are working at. I was acknowledging your humor. I assume you are laughing as you are typing your responses. I sometimes wonder if Diogenes the Cynic chuckled to himself as he thought about something and took it to a logical extreme. After all it IS sometimes mentally fun to go down that path... Are you saying it's silly and fun to question people being shot and killed when a taser would suffice, as one unarmed woman crawls through a broken window ? That doesn't seem right. If I told you I pushed someone in front of a taxi. Would you think I was a bad person? Or that I took food out of a hungry baby''s mouth. Or that I kicked a dog. Do those acts make me a bad person?

I'm amazed you all have been able to keep a conversation with this dude for 4 pages! He thinks killing unarmed black men at the park, in their car, etc. is perfectly reasonable because they should know better. But killing an unarmed white woman (who was past military and actually SHOULD know better) who is breaking and entering and threatening elected leaders gets a pass because of whatever stupid reason is a horrible crime! She is white, so she shouldn't be killed. But they are black, so they should be. This is the reasoning....but no racist person is actually going to come right out and admit it. Good thing we can read between the lines. I'm not really sure what diogenes believes or doesn't believe. He's playing at rhetorical logic and fallacies and such. Cause it's fun and entertaining. I'm not sure you can actually determine what his believes from his pedantic posts. (well, I read them in a pedantic voice). I hope he's not here trying to "teach us a lesson".

that sounds complicated. I pushed a coworker I didn't like in front of a taxi. Am I a bad person? I was thinking more like pushing an active shooter in front of a moving vehicle. Kicking a dog that was attacking someone, not bad either. Wow! active shooter!! You live a much more exciting life than I do. So, only knowing I pushed a coworker I didn't like in front of a taxi - am I a bad person? Do you need more info to make the call? Or is that enough? I really did push a coworker I didn't like in front of a taxi. Cross my heart and hope to die. I am not lying. How do you judge that act.

Nevermind the fact that a confederate flag was carried inside the Capitol. Woodwork damaged, feces smeared, Cops fighting. A confederate flag !!! Definitely need to kill them all after that. Pink might be rubbing off a bit.And what exactly, do you mean by that? What, exactly, are you saying about Pink? By all means, say what you mean and mean what you say. I have time today.

I’m not sure what we are playing but I joined in! I was playing Diogenes game... I pushed a coworker in front of a taxi. I added that I didn't like the coworker because that is also true. I want to know if you think I'm a good or bad person? How can you make a judgement call with out context? Diogenes seems to be arguing that shooting an unarmed woman at a "protest" is bad. And I'm pretty sure most people would agree with him without any context. He's arguing that if it's NOT ok to shot an unarmed woman based on his statement then ino matter what the circumstances or context it's not ok to shoot an unarmed woman at a "protest". He's arguing a duality I think. So, it would seem I'm a bad person for having pushed my stupid coworker in front of a taxi. (and I do it again in a heart beat. ) It seems odd that Diogenes would opt to argue for something "out of context" as it isn't really a logic thing. It is logical to do that if you want to bait people or are trying to be humorous. Baiting people is kind of meanspirited. I like to think the best of people - so I'm going with he's trying to be funny and make people laugh at his silliness. I think Diogenes is pretty smart - so he knows what he's doing. (and I have experience with older siblings (bless their hearts I love them! (that's code for they are assholes that I love for those who aren't in the know)) who do things like this.)

You've already said all I needed. "don’t care at all that whats-her-name died while participating in that shit. I wouldn’t care at all if every last one of them had been picked off one by one for continuing to advance after breaching the protections around the perimeter. To be clear, “picked off” means shot and/or killed."Lizard Queen was just supplying the insurrection activities that happened in the capital. Still having a problem with feces on the walls. I bet the armed forces will follow their commands to secure the country in their name, after that heinous act. Interesting you pick out just the least of the things I listed, leaving out deaths and injuries. I'm done talking in circles with you.

And here is the story of why and when I pushed a coworker I didn't like in front of a taxi: It was decades ago. Working in the City. On the "commute" home, walking from the office to the train I crossed paths with my coworker. Neither of us liked each other but we were civil to each other. Since there's no nice way to not "walk along" with someone you know on the way to the train station -- we exchanged pleasantries and small talk as we dodged and wove thru the rush hour throng of people heading to the train station. The sidewalk heading into the entrance to the train station building is a Cattle Chute. Commuters get funneled between the building's "raised plaza" and the busy street for nearly a full block before the river of people takes a turn into the train station entrance. There's very few people coming to the train station from the other direction - it's just a stream of people from one direction heading for the station. The side of the street along that full block is one long cab stand that always has a line of parked cabs waiting for fares. The street is busy with cars flying by - no one jay walks to avoid the Cattle Chute. From the opposite, less crowded sidewalk direction a bike messenger came hurtling into the pack of commuters heading into the train station. Not sure if he was high? angry? something else? No idea why he opted to ride his bike full tilt into a flowing crowd of people. We were almost to the turn when we heard the cries and yells and the crowd started parting - and there he was heading for me and my coworker - he was yelling "out of my way! and obscenities - I shoved my coworker into the space between two parked taxis and I spun around and went the other way and fell down. The bike messenger actually clipped my shoulder. As we were all recovering from this - some of the commuters helped me up, made sure I wasn't hurt and that I had all my stuff. My coworker was shaken up but ok too -she didn't fall down just kind of stumbled between the two parked cabs. There were two commuters who were bleeding (one guy had a bloody handkerchief? held to his head - and a woman got dragged and had bruises and scrapes) and an ambulance and the police came. There were a couple of commuters so shaken up (or who had fallen?) they just sat on the ground being comforted by other commuters. Apparently after the Mad Biker passed me and my coworker he hit a couple of other people and then someone(s) managed to grab the handlebars or something and he apparently went flying off the bike and was held down by some commuters. That was what I heard the next day. I saw the Mad Biker being sat on by several commuters (he was screaming obscenities). The cops came and arrested him and he too went in an ambulance. My coworker and I talked with the police (they took down all the info we had), we didn't need medical attention, and several hours later we got to go home. Other than being shaken up we were both fine. So, yes, I did push a coworker I didn't like in front of a Taxi. And I would do it again. I'm guessing Diogenes thinks I'm a bad person.

But if I had to be a cop, I would only do so in an area that was predominately white. My life and my safety matter to me and I would think both were in jeopardy if I were a cop in a black area. Everyone is a Monday morning quartback from the safety of their office chairs. A cop saves a black girl from being stabbed by another black girl lunging at her with a knife, and he is vilified. That would be a hard nope from me. A white police officer just doing his job in any area, is good. Anybody that’s willing to be a police officer with the intent to protect and serve all the citizens in his/her area, is aight with me. The ones that are just doing their jobs and being fair to whoever they come into contact with while they’re on duty, I appreciate them and hope no harm ever comes to them and theirs because of their job, on or off duty. But as far as the girl you mentioned, it’s not true that everyone is vilifying the officer that killed her. Not even all Black folks. Some Black people will admit that if it was their child she was trying to stab with that knife, they would want a police officer on the scene to stop her, even if that meant shooting her. And some of us understand that when you’re trying to immediately stop someone from doing whatever they’re doing or trying to do, if you’re going to shoot them with bullets from a gun, upper body mass is where it’s at. Bet you didn’t see that coming, did you? It’s still a tragedy, just because she was so young. But reading the backstory and what all really happened, it’s also a tragedy that the events leading up to that fatal moment even happened in the first place. I don’t think most Black people really care about the race or ethnicity of the police officers in their neighborhoods. Me, personally, I care about police officers knowing that they are expected to be law abiding citizens too, even while on the job with a badge they can try to hide ugly actions behind. We have a problem because some police officers think they can issue the death penalty instead of just doing their jobs. They do not have that kind of authority, as much as some would like to believe. I don’t think that’s too much to ask in these great United States of America. Maybe you would see some things a little differently if it was YOUR husband you had to worry about, or YOUR children. Maybe it would wound your soul a little to be a proud woman like me, that doesn’t take disrespect all that well, but have to teach your children to be docile in the presence of police officers, just in the hopes of them being alive to tell the story of what happened so we can deal with any disrespect or mistreatment later. As long as they’re physically unharmed, please God. Maybe you’d feel differently if you had a son that you knew was not only the low man on the totem pole as far as how this nation is set up, but he’s also the one who is least likely to be “successful” unless he does much more and goes far and beyond his peers, and lastly, even as a teenager, he’s a big ol’ scary threat to people who hate or fear him for no real reason and would just as soon see him dead. Ain't nobody got time to worry about that kind of shit unless there’s real reason to. Well, I don’t. But it’s real, so I do worry. If I ever had a reason to wish I was white (I never have and never would. Nothing against good white folk, I’m just good with all this melanin I bless the world with), it would be so that my most loved ones would be white too, and some things I wouldn’t have to worry about so much.

Interesting you pick out just the least of the things I listed, leaving out deaths and injuries. I'm done talking in circles with you. No circles, shoot those insurrectionists one and all. There would of been a whole lot less cops getting injured. See them in between those ropes, nothing a good .50 cal. Browning couldn't handle with ease. Get them right at the start of the invasion, before they can spread out in the building. An act of war should be handled as such. I think that the police showed great restraint during the violent invasion of the US Capital Building. There was no reason to turn the whole thing into a bloodbath. They clearly placed life at a higher priority than property. It was only at the point that the invaders attempted to violently get into a part of the building in which members of Congress were still exposed to risk did they fire. It is disappointing that all who invaded the building that day are not facing serious felony charges.

I understand that the video evidence was quite extensive. They invaded the US Capital Building in an attempt to halt the Congress from carrying out their Constitutional duty to certify the Electoral College vote. If that isn't worth the work to find a felony charge then nothing should ever be charged as a felony.

They invaded the US Capital Building in an attempt to halt the Congress from carrying out their Constitutional duty to certify the Electoral College vote. If that isn't worth the work to find a felony charge then nothing should ever be charged as a felony. I've been on a tour of the capital not that many years ago and that place is an bristling display case of security cameras. There isn't a cubic inch in the whole place that isn't covered except for the bathrooms, at least where the tour went. Prosecution and defense will have access to all of it. Good enough reason for me to understand why there has only been low level charges vs the partisan authoritative declaration in the media.

Feces smears, broken glass, organic shaman and all their BS destruction pale in comparison to what bills says. The intent to overthrow a Constitutional process of succession. A veritable coup d’etat attempt with TrumpCo. rooting it all on from a safe distance. D-23 can poo poo it all he wants but it was real. Fortunately the prey escaped the hunters or who knows what slaughter a blood lust may have yielded. Would Pence have really swung? Would Pelosi have taken a bullet to the back of the head? I think it fizzled out when no politicians could be located, but the intent was clear. This event could have been so much worse.
