I would expect the same if the guy was blue, black, green, or red. Race has nothing to do with following rules.

Again, that's not the point.  Not everyone follows every rule 100% of the time.

The point is that it is the responsibility of the Police to proportionally respond.  Why people choose to nitpick a f*cking parking violation, one that wouldn't even be a police concern unless it is called in by the business in question anyway, versus a overreaction by paid representatives of the state, is beyond me.

You bitch and moan about Evers' overreach during the pandemic, but here is a concrete example of government overreach that you make excuses for.

Are y'all that dense? I said he was illegally parked sideways in a handicapped parking spot. Had he not done so, this incident would not have escalated into a tasing and subsequent arrest.
Actions have consequences, or are now tossin' dat chit out two as partisan politics, hey?

And they are telling you that the incident wouldn't have likely have escalated if he were white. These are but some of the many examples people are highlighting that on the whole, some things are very different if you are Black. But thanks for illustrating Kyle's point.

About that Sterling Brown? Police Chief Morales apologized to him. The Officers were suspended. Eight other officers had to undergo remedial professional communications training.

Hopefully others can focus more on the purpose of Kyle Korver's comments.

The consequences to his actions are a parking ticket.  He was tased, handcuffed, and arrested.  I might be dumb, but you're an idiot if you really believe what you're saying.

Well, when we defund the police y'all will have nothin' ta bitch 'bout den, hey?

Perfect.  Such a scary world for you.

It all goes back to "fear the scary black people", heh?  Every damn time.

I have never suggested they should be defunded.  I expect them to perform better.  So should you.

Massive police reform, will improve some things. There will always be some racists everywhere. There will always be some police and other professions where individuals and groups do not have strong communication skills. But massive police reform will help, yes.

Exactly.  Hilarious that 45's entire reelection campaign is to get all these "Patriots" that are "for America" to crap their pants.  And it couldn't work any better.  He puts out videos of what is happening in America today, TRUMP'S AMERICA, and claims that this country will be so dang scary that these crazy events will happen if Sleepy Joe is elected.  And they eat it up, without finding the irony that the videos are of TRUMP'S AMERICA!

Incredible.

So you live in Sweet Auburn or Collier Heights? Surely not Buckhead, aina?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Illegal parking = worthy of tasing and arrest
Minor illegally toting assault rifle across state lines and murdering two people = hero

Hmmm, I'm trying to put my finger on what could be different about the two perpetrators to cause such reactions...

Even ~98 percent of the people who say "defund the police" aren't suggesting the fear-mongering scenario laid out by Scoop's favorite tooth drillers.

Whomever came up with the slogan "defund the police" should be fired. There has to be a better name for the police reform that is needed.

[Jockey]

I would expect the same if the guy was blue, black, green, or red. Race has nothing to do with following rules.

Next time you go 5 MPH over the speed limit (not following the rules), you can be fine with being pulled over and tased. I expect the police to do that to you whether you are blue, black, green, or red. Race has nothing to do with following rules.

Easy up there, Jamie.

Rules for paying taxes?

Rules for paying taxes?

Rules for fraudulently stealing millions of dollars from students?
Rules for fraudulently stealing money (donations) intended for treating cancer in kids?

[tower912]

Rules for taking campaign money and funneling it to personal accounts?

It was somebody that understood how social media virality works, that's for sure.

agreed, however as things have gone on it's become obvious that faction of the "defund the police" crowd are about actual defending and abolition. So, while people say "when we say 'defund' we don't literally mean 'defund'" enough actually do.

Of course, this slogan is brought to you by the generation who has changed the definition of "literally." If all of the people in my Orange Theory classes who said they "literally died" from a workout and yet return the next day then we're on the verge of a zombie apocalypse.

Ahh.  Doesn't get an exaggeration and then gets annoyed because of it.
