kshaughnAlso, there were 214 civilian on civilian homicides in Baltimore in 2014, the vast majority of those were due to black on black violence. The people of Baltimore should really be more worried about killing each other and fixing that problem than the needle-in-a-hay-stack chance that they are killed by police after getting arrested.
KravtZBlack people are a general population compared to other races do the worst by far. Worst education levels, income levels, employment levels, etc the list goes on.
They like to blame everyone besides their own communities. Im so sick of hearing about there bullshit arguments on the news and how the justify rioting, acting like thugs, etc.
Freddy Gray had 20 serious arrests. He was a drug dealer and user. He was arrested mostly for narcotics arrests. He ISNT a good person as his community puts him out to be. He was a thug who somehow got killed (still not sure how the facts arent released)..that being said, It gives those disgusting savages NO RIGHT to burn down and destroy their own town. If anything, it forces business owners out and doesn't bring in new ones.
DingoSean#allblackpeople?
Black people have plenty of contempt for their own communities... All of them want it better, of course... The thing is, when you're born into that way of life, that's sometimes all you fucking know... Just like you. You obviously have no idea how it is to live in those places, and simply hold an opinion based on what the media's told you instead.
Spagett+You don't either.
DingoSean...That's exactly what I'm saying. None of us do. We all are on a skiing website... chances are, barring a foster care situation or something, none of us know what that kind of poverty is like... so how the fuck is it okay for any one of us on here to point the finger at Black communities and assume how it is
Spagett+I mean you assumed too about how terrible it is. If I were to guess it probably isn't as bad as you said but not as good or easy to change as that other kid said.
YoungDaphWho cares what the ratio of peaceful to violent protests is, doesn't change the fact that property is being destroyed and people are being hurt and guess who's tax dollars are gonna go towards fixing some of that shit and paying for the medical care of some of those people.

UglyboyI'm curious. Do you ever post racist comments to your facebook profile? Or do you just hide behind anonymity because you're scared someone is going to bash you?
DingoSeanIt's one thing for armed gang members to be killing each other. It's another for cops - those who are supposed to be above that kind of shit, to be killing people who aren't even armed.
People in those communities sometimes trust gang members more than cops. That's a problem, and it's systemic. Plenty of blame to go around in that circumstance.

kshaughnLet me just reiterate. 0.003% (and some of those are whites and justified). Just because the people in those communities are dumb and out there killing everyone doesn't mean that there is an actual problem. I'm pretty sure statistics show there is a higher likelihood of a person being killed by a vending machine than being killed by a cop during an arrest, so are you going to never buy another candy bar? Stop trying to make outliers a trend- nothing in this world is going to be perfect 100% of the time, but I'll gladly accept 99.997% in anything.
.frenchyWell, I don't use facebook but I post shit like that on my twitter, follow me if you want! :) :) :)
I'd say the same thing if he were white trash, so shut the fuck up kid.
DingoSeanVending machines falling on you are an accident.
A cop shooting you 8 times in the back as you run away unarmed? That's a systemic problem that needs to be paid attention to...
Your statistics don't tell the whole story... It's like those dingbats who try to justify being able to own an arsenal of guns because car accidents are more likely to kill you than guns, when there's no justifiable comparison between the two.
kshaughnAnd just because one cop did something shitty (and is going to be punished for that incident) doesn't mean the entire system is broken. Stop looking at single cases that support your stance and look at the bigger picture that clearly shows that these are unfortunate outliers.
kshaughnAs a math nerd, lets look at the numbers to really get an understanding of how cops are just a bunch of racist killers. I was having trouble finding data on just Baltimore, so I found it for all of the US from 2003-2009, but it should give us a good enough idea. Obviously this data isn't perfect (US vs Baltimore, how well this info is being reported), but by and large it will give us a solid picture. Source - Bureau of Justice Statistics
From 03-09 the FBI estimates that there were 98,000,000 arrests made in the US
During this time period there were 4,813 arrest-related deaths (not perfect, but gives us an idea)
That number includes deaths such as drug/alcohol related, suicides, and other types, but we can focus on the 2,931 (61%) that were ruled as homicides. Note that homicides will include 'justified' deaths, such as those that occur in a shootout
Only 31% of all arrest-related deaths were blacks (42% white) but we will look at all homicides because I don't have the arrest statistics by race (I know, not perfect data, but close enough)
So with the numbers we have, we get the following results:
0.00299% of all arrests lead to an arrest-related homicide. Remember this figure includes all races and what I consider to be 'justified' homicides where the person was shooting at the police. Therefore, that number is even smaller for the number of blacks that were killed 'for no reason'.
So just think about this- people are rioting and protesting and calling the police racist for something that happens in roughly 0.003% of arrests. So 99.997% arrests have no homicides at all, but we are going to call racism and demand reform for something that rarely happens. People are freaking out about something that almost never happens. If something works 99.997% of the time or even anything close to that number, cases where it doesn't work is an outlier, not a trend. I know these numbers are not perfect, but they are not going to be that far off given the number of arrests that occur each year, so put that into perspective before you start demanding change because of a few outliers.
UglyboyI just had a solid look through your Twitter. I saw one racist comment. One. And a little bit of Ted Cruz support which made me laugh. You are proper the biggest shit talker. If you're going to be racist, don't be racist behind an online persona where no one knows who you are or doesn't know anything about you. Be racist where there are actual repercussions for your actions. But you won't do that will you?
PS, why the fuck are you a habs fan? You live in Connecticut, get off the band wagon mate.

FBGMmy best friend's boyfriend was arrested at one of the riots for throwing a water bottle at a cop (everyone was throwing them) and he was arrested and charged with 2nd degree assault, possession of a weapon, and intent to injure. held for 48 hours.

.frenchygood, kid seems edgy as fuck.
"yeah dude watch me throw shit at cops, even though most are actually nice guys!!"
BloviatorEvery single day, 365 days a year there are about 30,000 commercial flights in the US. If we take your 'success' rate of arrests at 99.997% success and applied it to comm aviation ops, we would only have 90 airlines crash PER DAY!
BloviatorSurely commercial aviation is at least a 1000 times more reliable than an arrest. Well, ok then, I'll spot you a 1000 times improvement. A 'success' rate is now moves the bar three places to the right of decimal, or 99.999997. Would be a failure rate of 0.000003 where a plane crashes(failure). Now were down to only 1 plane crash EVERY 10 DAYS.
FBGMyou're an idiot

cornholiofox news is great. sending a white guy named leland out into the streets to interview people
.frenchyI'd say the same thing if he were white trash, so shut the fuck up kid.
YoungDaphI always like to say I'm not racist, I'm classist. Don't like white trash, black trash, Mexican trash etc.
louie.miragsAs the majority of us are middle to upper class white people in North America, we hit the genetic lottery...
cornholio30,000 * 0.00003 = 0.9 crashes/day, not 90
so if you agree 1000 times improvement is a proper comparison
0.9 / 1000 = 0.0009 crashes/day
or 0.33 crashes per year, which i'm betting is below the current average
therefore his success rate should be acceptable
.frenchyDid you like this tweet bbyboi??

UglyboyYou're a proper joke. What are you trying to prove with linking a racist comment? Being openly racist isn't something you should be proud of. But I guess being racist on a website that is 99% white members is just so radical for you and Living in Granby which is 97% white is just so easy. Go live in Compton and try to spur your racial shit.
Enjoy living the rest of your life being an uneducated, small town hick.
.frenchyWhat am I trying to prove? Uhhh I was just proving you wrong dumbfuck...
Uneducated? That's why I graduated HS and i'm currently taking college classes, right? Your boner for me is gettin ridiculous now :^)
UglyboyYou're not proving me wrong. I think you're a racist fuckwit who has never had any real form of discrimination and believes in God. You're an absolute joke mate.
And I'm curious as to what you're studying?

i'm not racist so just stop attempting to say I am. Just because I hate thugs of all races, doesn't make me racist
UglyboyNo but your racist posts on this website have proved you are. Your racist tweets have proved you are racist.

LOL okayyyy dude....
You're such a hypocrite saying that I hide behind being anon, yet everyone on here knows me and I post pictures of myself on a weekly basis? You're just some random fuckboy that everyone thinks is annoying as shit
Fred_Bearno your friend is an idiot for throwing shit at the cops
