Dallas Protest, Shots Fired

[HoughMade]

In fairness, is there any profession where members routinely call out others of their profession for shady practices, acts of incompetance, abuse of power, etc?

Do you lawyers call out ambulance chasers and personal injury lawyers for jacking up medical bills or insurance rates or what have you due to their often time frivolous cases?

Whenever there's not motion in limine in place to prevent me....and sometimes even then.

Do doctors routinely rat each other out when they know somebody made a mistake or acted recklessly?

Routinely? I don't know about that, but if their practices are in direct competition....Katy bar the door!

They'll testify against other doctors in mal-practice cases? File complaints with whomever the file formal complaints about one another? I've had a doctor or two make a snide comment or something kinda unflattering about another but according to a lawyer friend of mine, getting them to go on the record is like pulling teeth.

No, doctors don't rat each other out. (Sooo glad I proofread that, I missed the "r" and hit "e")

BLM is successful with their rhetoric. It has dominated this thread about a terrorist murdering police officers.


Is this how the term "race baiting" was originated?

 

[AA&E]

No. The media does it enough already.

If there were a case where a shooting was obviously racially motivated, like the idiot in SC(obviously wasn't an officer), maybe. For these cases where the media makes race an issue, no.

In reference to your first point, I do not see LEOs being able to win here. They will always want to wait until the facts are actually out for each incident. The media does not wait, they try the case immediately and often come to incorrect conclusions. By the time the facts are actually out, the media tends to lose interest.

You make a valid argument regarding the media manipulation of the events. How many times are minorities killed by officers that are themselves minorities? We will probably never know, because these events aren't publicized in the same manner by the media.

What does this mean? Do you have an ethical requirement that prohibits you from speaking out at certain times?

I think there was an effort to connect the terrorist/racist to BLM as if they worked hand in hand. That's where it started.

I was going to claim the events in Dallas weren't terrorism, and then I second thought myself. It honestly does perfectly reflect the definition of terrorism. So does that make the Black Panthers a terrorist organization since he was a member and the leadership has spoken out in favor of the Dallas shooters actions via Twitter? I don't think I'd extend the same cloud onto BLM, but they are walking a thin line...

Negative. The Dallas shooter exploited a BLM event. He was a Black Panther and has been praised via tweets by the BP leadership. Now some BLM protestors likely have supported these actions, but I'd suspect they are the smallest of minority. But chanting for the lives of police officers as they have done in the past? Hopefully that is something they will reconsider.

Chief David Brown just speaking now...

Says to BLM protesters they should become police officers. "Become a part of the solution. Don't be a part of the problem. Get off that protest line and serve. We'll put you in your communities."

Thoughts?

Since statistics show that black and Hispanic officers are more likely to shoot them than a white officer, how is this a solution? Do they feel better about it since it would be black on black violence?

It would shut the media up, they wouldn't report it, so this could actually work.

Your congressman:

Is he a bit confused, not unlike other race baiters? Sounds like he is calling the killed officers murderers?

This is a hugely misleading statistic. People keep listing this and then attempt to apply it nation wide. The statistics ONLY relate to Philadelphia, PA... nowhere else. A city that is 44% black, and whose PD is 36% black. If you cite that again, please, in the interest of full disclosure add that significant fact.

I'm just referencing the FACT that the media WON'T be putting in on the front page because it doesn't fit the active narrative. You have to realize that.

Edit.. not sure of the validity... ill be back.

EDIT - I saw a questionable news source suggesting a large number of people found murdered tied to BLM. The media or groups portraying themselves to be media need to be held accountable. Their should be a level of acceptability between reporting and misleading. I don't know how you draw the line, but this fire is being fed by the media with the potential to blow up in all our faces.

I've seen enough Bull**** in the past few weeks to know that this is true.
