Perhaps if they treated alleged criminal Jacob Blake as he walked away from cops without a gun the same as they treated actual killer Kyle Rittenhouse while he walked towards them with a gun, we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation. I mean maybe it ends up the same, I guess, but probably not.
It’s just interesting that the usual suspects are out, again, justifying the shooting of a Black man any way they can. Unfortunately for then, we’re also seeing a White killer who got the complete opposite treatment, and none of them have a problem with it, so it becomes pretty clear what this is actually all about for some people. They’re just a bit afraid to say it.

I want to revisit this because it’s illustrates how easy it is to create your own narrative on posters that “because certain posters didn’t say anything to condone the white kid” this obviously means they are a racist and that somehow gives licence to call this name with little to no proof.
This is outrageous and it’s why the thread has gone dead in the last day or so when arguments are reduced to name calling, it does almost nothing to stimulate the actual conversation.
My bone of contention is that I have next to no compassion for those that choose to resist arrest because I think the police have an incredibly difficult job.
I disagree it’s as cut and dry as it’s made out to be in this forum.
I could see 100 videos of whites and I could see 100 videos of blacks resisting arrest and I have the same compassion level for both.
But creating narratives and hurling hurtful names unchecked is really disappointing.
Being called a racist is a big deal and it better have more proof than “you didn’t say much about that guy so..”
