It'll be a weird narrative if they're POC but their manifesto is all about Aliens and the Rapture and tinfoil hat poo poo and never mentions actual racial justice. Oh the news narrative will obviously settle on "BLM kills cops" whatever their motive is if they're POC, but I'd be morbidly curious to see the churns it would take to get there in that scenario.

So that's a vote for a Nation of Islam splinter group then.

I thought he turned himself in, instead of being brought in? Probably for that same reason, though.

Timeline seems to be shooting starts, this guy finds a cop and turns his gun in, goes home, hears that he's being sought for questioning, and then turns himself into police. He did everything exactly how he should.

You sure are keen for a race war for someone who claims to prioritise mitigating black people's fears of being shot for being black.

You say that as if there hasn't been a race war on black lives for 400 years. You just don't like it when the rabbit has the gun.

This is awful and it all feels so hopeless. Yesterday in my exasperatation I couldn't help but fantasize about some vigilante justice being done against the cops who keep murdering black people and now here we are with dead cops and it feels awful. I feel complicit in the racism that lets these kinds of shootings keep happening and guilty and stupid for wishing that something like tonight would happen and frustrated and powerless to do anything meaningful. Worst of all, I can't help but realize that my "worst of all" can't even begin to compare to what black people must internalize and deal with every day. I wish I knew how to channel all of this into something useful.

You aren't a bad person for having those thoughts.

In fact it's the opposite. Having those thoughts, not acting on them, and rejecting them are signs that you are a good and normal person.

Go to a BLM rally. Try to convince your town/city to adopt body cams for police officers.

Soooo I was a network administrator for the NPS in college when 9-11 happened. Homeland security did some bullshit trying to see how easy to penetrate various federal networks were.

I say "bullshit" because one of their social engineering ploys was to set up a pushcart in my atrium with a sign saying you could have a freshly baked cookie for a login and password.

I'm not kidding. They seriously did this. I was not permitted to eject them or interfere.

50% of my ~200 users got a cookie.

10% of the credentials they gave worked.

So about 5% of my users gave away their honest to god login for a cookie.

I can only explain this by saying they saw other people doing it so it must be ok and weren't smart enough to realize everyone else was lying.

Their punishment was to attend a remedial security course that I had to teach. I in my early twenties going over simplistic obvious information to them in their 40's and 50's. It was very awkward. Nobody went to jail or lost their jobs.

I'm actually not sure 5% is a bad mark for the 2001/2002 time period

What you're agitating for isn't a race war. It would be a race slaughter. How can you possibly not get that? You cannot overwhelm the local & state authorities with violence: they will not stop killing you just because you choose to legitimize their ridiculous fear of you.

He is black. It's the smart thing to do.

There was another piece of throwaway video where they showed people running away. A black man was running away from the scene through a police line. A black man running saw the police and made sure to put his hands up as he ran through.

Lol you think less than 500k cops nationwide will slaughter 42 million people? Nope. If you thought Brexit was bad, something like that would destroy the US. Literally too many things that society relies on to function is on the back of underpaid black people.

And if white people cant see the difference between going after racist cops and going after white people, that kinda speaks to the fact that the police are agents first and foremost agents of white supremacy, and that finally striking back against them IS the moral thing to do.

No, I say that as if I had relatives killed in the conflict you're apparently eager to emulate.

Scaling the victims of the troubles to America's population would leave a total of around 600000 dead were the conflict to be replicated on your shores. Assuming that the number black people killed in the violence is proportional to the black population overall (which is rather optimistic I feel), that's 65000 dead black people. If there is absolutely no reduction at all in the rate of unarmed black men being shot by cops in the USA, it would take 650 years for the black lives saved by your campaign to outweigh the black victims of your "solution".

So yeah, when you say "look at what the IRA accomplished", you sound more like an angry young man than someone with any particular concern for anyone's life.

No, it's more the logical conclusion of the police murdering black people with impunity and never facing any repercussions over it. I don't know how much of a poo poo eating mongoloid you have to be to blame one reaction to oppression on another reaction to that same oppression instead of the initial cause but then again having the most reprehensible opinions on every subject is kind of your gimmick, isnt it?
