Kicking off in America

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Except the facts don’t support this claim. Tucker Carlson broke the numbers down using the actual figures. And it seems out of the 10 blacks killed whilst they were unarmed 2 saw the police officers facing charges and he didn’t even dwell too long on the greater number of unarmed whites who were killed by the police.

Oh and these Protest BLM posts should be merged with the COVID-19 posts as they are both being pushed by the media.... think not? Then why are the very same medical experts not condemning the protests? When only a few weeks ago if we didn’t stay home we were all gonna die.
I had some sympathy for those in the health profession till I started to see them not only approve the protests but actively encourage them.

Why did the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd in police custody arouse a national wave of revulsion? There are two vectors to this wave: The humiliation of American blacks and the horror of white liberals.

To be precise, American police (white or black) killed exactly nine unarmed black Americans in 2019. Whether these shootings were justified is a different issue. That is about one one-thousandth of the 7,407 blacks murdered in 2018 (last year for which data are available), about 90% of whom were killed by other black Americans.

“The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015.

Read that article. Good data in there.

Notice the language here:
...and blacks are far more likely to be crime victims than whites.
Crime being largely intra-racial, this also means that blacks are far more likely to be perpetrators of crime. (Many paragraphs downs, the article says much the same.)
Black marriage rates are much lower than white or Hispanic marriage rates. Marriage rates are declining for all parts of the US population, but much faster for blacks.
This may be a more interesting point here. Many social institutions are on the decline and blacks exhibit these tendencies in greater numbers than other groups.

Medical folk who get on the TV tend to be to the left - and hence will support anyone and anything that makes it difficult for Trump or Boris Johnson

an occupy movement has developed in Seattle where the police department have abandoned their precinct in the area which is now controlled by armed protesters manning several barricades around a 6 block perimeter.

after two days the many protesters are now organizing how best to handle community issues, like what to do with garbage and how to take care of each other both physically and mentally for the ongoing fight; and today formed think-tanks to further that agenda. rumors are the police want their station back, which would likely lead to violence. this is a MAJOR story in America that is unfolding. especially since many people are considering the protesters “ANTIFA” which has been recently deemed a terrorist organization by the president.

here’s the independent media covering it on the ground if you’re interested.
