Hook, swing.
Has anyone made a succinct reply to why this (https://www.facebook.com/yourmajesty1/videos/850301368371014/?fref=nf) video making the rounds on facebook is profoundly racist garbage? I mean, it literally opens with "liberals are the real racists" and is your pretty standard line of white libertarian drivel, but someone in my circle of friends who usually isn't a complete loving moron shared it and I think she might listen to reasoned argument why liking it is pretty loving bad (and racist). I have a justice department report (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cpp08.pdf) pointing out no, actually, the police are pretty racist as well as a decent Journalist Resource article (http://journalistsresource.org/studies/government/criminal-justice/police-reasonable-force-brutality-race-research-review-statistics) that aggregates a lot of facts. I also looked through the stuff in the OP specifically with regards to the disproportionate killing and use of force against black men, but I feel like I need a more targeted approach.
