Blake Shooting

[Copper]

Out of the millions of innocent black men shot by police every year, why can't we find just one with a nice story and clear video?

Seriously, How on earth could someone think we’ll get less of this if we re-elect him?

I agree. For better or worse, this chaos will be drastically reduced if Biden wins.

We don't negotiate with terrorists.

I’m not saying we should, or do. I’m just saying I think that will be the outcome. Reduced mob chaos.

I think it would be made more clear by saying "if Biden wins, the media will reduce its deliberate attempts to incite violence".

[89th]

Also true. Absolutely.

Whites have their own now. It’s an affirmative action thing.

That makes sense. At first I was thinking it must be for Women’s National Baking Association, but that makes no sense. No man is going to give his wife permission to join an association outside of the PTA.

Harsh, but fair:

No kidding.

On a related note, instead of folks like Lebron James boycotting for 2 days which does nothing other than fan the flames of a mostly false racist/police narrative, can you imagine how much actual positive change could happen if he instead shared the message that folks should respect cops and not resist arrest? It's really the only way these (cherry-picked because the victim is black) videos will stop.
