years from now when america as an empire collapses we will look back in embarrassment that humans could have ever thought you could build a country based on freedom and prosperity on the building blocks of genocide, slavery and lies.

 

From its brutal conception the seeds of hostility, anger and contemptment were embedded and so we see it flourish today.

 

 

Great Britain should take note concerning its participation in the western empire, monarchy/colonialism.

yeah but the country is

Race - White:Black

Pop   - 197m:38m

Killed - 243:135

 

So the rate of black people being killed by police is much higher than whites.

 

yeah so is the rate of crime by blacks

 

 

possibly 

but unarmed civilians that are killed by police are twice as likely to be black as they are white

318 Million people in a country riddled with Guns, over 7000 homicides already this year and you man are shocked that police have killed 400...... Going on like those 400 odd were all innocent victims casually strolling around doing nothing.

so do you think gun policy is the main contributor to militarized police in america?

Guardian analysis finds 102 people killed by police so far this year were unarmed, and that agencies are killing people at twice the rate calculated by US government

I'm reading through the Unarmed ones now Dub. Seems to be a few who died from being Tazered, there was a girl who's car had broke down and ended up being struck by a police cruiser ( Guessing that was accidental ). There's a dude who died whilst in hospital for unknown reasons. There is a dude who was stopped for drink driving and then dragged the officer along with his car as he tried to drive away and the officer opened fire. Another guy who was restrained went into cardiac arrest in an ambulance after being arrested. One dude died of an Asthma Attack/Unknown after being taken from jail to a hospital.

 

They need to be read really before passing judgement on them.
