  44. The identities of those involved in the trial were not public knowledge, Lennon broadcast them to the world. The Jury are permitted to know the details of a case (shocking, I know). You cannot win this argument. These are black-and-white facts. Other media outlets were waiting until after the trial was over before releasing the information, that is allowed because you cannot retroactively affect the case once it is over. No other outlets leaked names beforehand, as they were not public knowledge. You are lying again. I still don't know the identities of anybody involved with the case, it was not reported until after the case was over, in accordance with the law. So you are factually incorrect again. Regardless, the alternative is letting a criminal break the law with impunity, do you think that's how a country with laws should operate? Just let famous people get away with things because they have influence? People are hardly suppressed by "pc culture" (A term you cannot define). If we were, I wouldn't have to endure constant whining about brown people existing in the media and from politicians. Only one media outlet claimed Hillary would win with 95% confidence, and provided they did the maths, they get to say whatever they like about her chances. But that has nothing to do with PC culture. The Brexit vote was extremely close, it's not odd that people would assume either side was going to win. Regardless, the media is almost wholly owned by right-wing interests. I can only think of perhaps one or two newspapers that print anything left-of-centre. Don't pretend you're the one not being represented. I have already corrected you on the overton window, there has not been a left-wing government in 40 years. Stop being wrong. You seem to think that because you get called a racist a lot, it cannot possibly be true. But guess what it looks like when you ignore all the data that indicates immigration is positive? Yeah exactly. People do not "hide their true feelings" about immigration. Anti-immigrant rhetoric is plastered over every single tabloid, every single week. Over 33% of Question Time episodes feature UKIP members, despite the fact that they haven't won a single seat. The Tories are even deporting people seemingly at random. Stop lying, anti-immigrant rhetoric is mainstream and always has been. Nobody is hiding anything. Stop lying. There is nothing inherently left or right wing about LGBT, marriage or human rights. Bernie Sanders is maybe the only elected socialist in US history, stop panicking.# You cannot point to things like welfare or immigration and say that any nation with these two things is leftist, that is totally asinine. What next, any nation with an army is left-wing, simply because it's state funded? Even right-wing parties agree that state healthcare is better than simply letting the population die horribly from preventable diseases. The irony here is that you keep whining about being called racist, and yet you think it's inherently left-wing to allow foreigners into your country. But that's something you could only believe if you WERE a racist. Pure conservatism would allow people the freedom to move as they pleased, after all, that is the basis of commerce. But that cannot be what you are, so what are you? Exactly. Stop lying.

  48. Your counter seems to be "any problem can be blamed on the state, we're clearly not capitalist enough", and it's really not the clever get-out you think it is. What you just did is essentially make the "REAL communism has never been tried!" argument, but for capitalism. Yeah cool, your 'real' definition is a paradox and cannot exist, therefore you can freely hide from any criticism by pretending it doesn't apply to you. But that's utterly transparent, nobody is fooled here. In regards to this "temporary efficiency", explain why the USA cannot get high-quality internet provision after decades? You'd think the lazy, inefficient and expensive ISP's would be pushed aside by keener, more competitive companies, but the reality is that they are ALL lazy, inefficient and expensive. It's more profitable for them to be so. Going to blame this on the state again? Healthcare is literally the right to exist, the idea that human beings have an inherent dignity and their lives are worth protecting. If you're not willing to admit that much, then you have lost this argument, and your humanity. There is no way for you to argue your point without agreeing that this basic fact has some weight to it. As for education, it is no longer possible to have even a simple job without one. Your ideal society could not function without the provision of education. There would have to be some way of making the working class suitable to do their jobs. They wouldn't be able to pay for it themselves, and businesses would have to leave for other countries. This is now the third time I have corrected you on the state of the NHS, people are only dying because of capitalists that want to rid the nation of socialised healthcare. Listen to yourself, "no motivation to improve"? Huh? You realise that companies literally pay people to improve organisations, right? This is true in both public and private sectors. How is getting paid NOT a motivation?

  53. Nothing is perfect or can be implemented correctly. You're talking about some theoretical, ideal version of capitalism, and you're the ONLY one using this definition. The rest of us are out here using the real definition, the one that corresponds to something that exists. Also pretty weird that you'd argue against the natural progression away from capitalism by saying "It hasn't already happened yet so its bad" Like...what? Also resorting to flat-out lies..is a concession. You're admitting that you have nothing here. "Immense benefits to everyone involved", like the people starving to death because they cannot afford to live in a society where extortion is the norm? Where most people in poverty have jobs and SHOULD be able to afford to live? What IS their benefit? Speaking of monopolies, you're aware that free-trade societies move towards monopolies regardless if governments get involved or not right? Did Microsoft achieve dominance with state assistance? No, they just bought the competition. Notice how 50 years ago there were so many more companies than there are now? Half a dozen boardrooms now own 100% of the media produced in your country. Monopolies aren't great, but capitalism creates them too. How come paying taxes is violence, yet jacking up the prices to cull the poor isn't? They're both legal, they both happen...so why is only the one you don't like violence? As for the NHS, no you really don't know what I'm on about. I made that clear at the start. Incase you didn't know, the ruling party do not believe in socialised healthcare. So when put in charge of it, they proceeded to sell off and dismantle the institution, all while making themselves significant amounts of money in the process. And then you come along and say "oh it's because socialised medicine is bad", despite the frequent rebuttals I offered.

  54. If you think Hong Kong and early USA are "good" examples, there is a high probability you are a sociopath. In Hong Kong TODAY, people are sleeping in tiny cages because they cannot afford rent. The early days of the USA is maybe the worst example you could have chosen, with absolutely zero rights for workers, they were overworked, underpaid and lived lives of absolute misery. Sure there was profit, but like I said if that's your measure than you might simply not have the mental faculties to understand what I'm talking about. What you're talking about IS impossible to achieve. Want to know what happened to the early USA? The state evolved and got bigger. You're basically telling tadpoles "No guys, just stay as you are! There's millions of tadpoles in the world after all". That's why this IS capitalism, this is where that path leads. This isn't a flaw of implementation, this is necessarily the result of little to no state control, and freedom of enterprise. There are no other ways this could have ended up. If you're going to deny that Microsoft was a monopoly, then I'm just going to ignore that paragraph. It's not up for debate. Their market share was one of the highest ever, the entire industry was geared to providing for one company. In regard to taxes, it's fair to say that use of coercion is violence. However your attempt at a counterargument is to simply deny that violence you're ok with is happening. But you know that it is happening, you simply don't care. My sociopath theory is actually looking like it could be the truth. Your response to the fact that people are having to choose between rent and medical care is "Oh, but companies aren't trying to kill you! They're just out to make money!" Like..you think that's a justification? People are dying in the streets because of this. At this point you need to stop contradicting me concerning the whys and hows of a country you know nothing about, a health organisation you have done zero reading on run by a government you haven't even heard of. You're clearly not interested in actual facts, and I am certainly not interested in your hypotheticals.

  65. By resorting to lying, you might as well just type "Yeah you're right sorry man", because that's all I can interpret from this delusional post. Lennon was not reporting on things that were public knowledge. The identities of the people going into that trial were secret for a reason. They did not check this prior to filming, nor could they reasonably guarantee that they could keep it that way. You are lying. This is not a left-leaning country, and it never has been. You cannot blame the left alone for PC culture. You cannot even demonstrate that it's as bad as you say it is. Notice how all the whinging about PC culture is coming from far-right publications? What, you think that's a coincidence? They're liars. "They" didn't take immigration too far. But some newspapers said that they did. Not our fault you're stupid enough to have believed them. But if the masses wanted to stop immigration, why didn't they vote for parties that would stop immigration? This is a democracy, why do your needs hijack the needs of the majority? Vote BNP if you care so much about it. Until then, it's not your call to make. If you think a non-existent "left" is to blame for extremism, you're wrong. Nobody wakes up and says "Wow, those people are pretty left-wing, guess I better join a neo-nazi gang!". That's ridiculous. You're lying again, left-wing politicians all over denounce riots, violence and intimidation. You're making this up, you are a liar. You keep banging on about the failure of the left, how old are you? There's hasn't been a left in decades. You've never seen the left in action. This, ALL of this, is the product of the right-wing. You demand we give conspiracy theorists and people who call for genocide some kind of platform, as if there's some kind of compromise that can be made here. There isn't, that's like asking me to choose a hand to be amputated. The answer is "Neither".

  76. Pretty weird how you brag about having a 'coherent world view' when you contradict yourself. You oppose all violence and coercion, yet you're happy to have laws and jails and mental asylums? What are laws, if not simply "things you want"? Words like overworked and underpaid are not arbitrary, they can be objective. The employees at Amazon who reguarly collapse at work are being overworked, you have no rebuttal for that claim. People the world over are working as much as they can, yet they still can't make rent. That's being underpaid. This is objective, you have no comeback for this. You can bleat "find another job" like it's some kind of mantra to protect you from reality, but it rings hollow. Even you understand why you're wrong, you're just pretending. And it's obvious. When the alternative is death, it's not a free choice. It is coercion. You have failed to even attempt to argue against this point. Calling the USA at any point in history "socialist" is a lie, you know you're lying so I don't need to bother writing a rebuttal for that. Denying Microsoft had a monopoly is a sign you've never actually looked up what the word "monopoly" means, consider at least researching the next subject you want to embarrass yourself about. Interesting you'd make an anology about 100 people in the jungle, because what capitalism has brought is: One person that owns all the trees, while the others have no homes because they can't own any trees. Sure, that one guy might have wormed his way into his position by consensus, but that doesn't mean the other 99 aren't dying of exposure. It doesn't mean they were not tricked. You seem to think that because that one guy never personally killed anybody, everybody else should die before he loses so much as a twig. Unsustainable, indefensible. Fucking weird too, considering you're one of the 99 dying guys. Like, you're batting for a team that will never sign you. Why? The last paragraph really is the end, the sad thing is that I've hardly done any actual arguing here, you're the one discrediting yourself. You clearly have never attempted to enter a career, and you have no sympathy for those that do. You're a child with little or no work experience, and so I think you're just done, dude. You're trying to lecture adults about something you've never seen. Like...stop.

  84. Citing Peterson is essentially a concession, so we'll drop that for now. Suffice it to say you're not equpped for that discussion. And as I said above it is irrelevant to the point that you have conveniently stopped talking about. You keep blaming poor people for being poor, why is that? They're not the ones who decide how much they should earn. You keep trying to suggest that they're violent, or addicts, or unable to make smart descisions about where to spend their money. Anything except the actual cause. Weird how you also blame government intervention, but you just can't help yourself from characterising those in poverty as necessarily bad people. You're revealing more about your true beliefs than you realise. Maybe you don't even know these are your beliefs yet. 'Poverty is relative' is irrelevant, a little less filler please. Not only does UK welfare fail to provide enough money for people, the UK welfare system is designed to punish the poor and make it difficult to stay in receipt of their payments. The UK government has already spent hundreds of millions of pounds on fighting legal battles against people who had every right to claim welfare, yet were denied it for spurious or false reasons. I bring this up because it is the pro-capitalists who are responsible for this. People who claim to believe that capitalism will uplift the poor. Well, we can see it getting worse, not better. Claiming capitalists all want peace and consent is a bold lie, especially since the system necessarily eliminates the least profitable means of production. Being moral is less profitable, so a company that pushes the boundries makes more money. Given enough time, it becomes the new standard practice. You can't just say "Well that's not capitalism", any more than you can say that a fruit is not part of a tree. Again you blame the victims of exploitation for being exploited. Interesting that you decry people for being selfish and self-centred for complaining about contracts, but what are they actually complaining about? That's right, contracts that were written by selfish, self-centred bosses. You cannot have this both ways. Either accept that exploitation is built into the system, or take back what you said about those who point it out.

  299.  @hurroocane  "almost every controversial supreme court decision happens in the exact party split that you would expect. There that was easy." So your 'proof' is that you expected them to do it? Okay, no notes here. "And again on topic of voters I'll make this real simple the voters had a choice and they chose Trump. They chose wrong. They failed" I'm sorry, should they have voted for the anti-choice Democrat ticket? Is that where we're at? "Voters should have voted for anti-choice candidates to protect women's rights?" Are you even listening to yourself? "After everything I do not give a single shit about relitigating what the Democrats should or should not have done" Yeah you keep saying that, but bleating like an infant doesn't change a thing. You can't blame voters for things the Democrat party did. "The choice that had to be made was crystal clear and it was super obvious what would happen" Yeah seems like maybe the Democrats should have done something about it huh They chose not to though Just like how they chose not to codify Roe v. Wade. They chose not to. I'm going to keep repeating this until you admit it. They chose not to. Even after promising they would, they chose not to. Don't come at me with "oh it could have been reversed". They chose not to make it harder to do that. You're repeating yourself now though, so I guess you ran out of excuses. I'll leave you with this: You seem to think that the only way to protect rights is to keep one party in charge forever. Is that democracy to you? When only one party wins? You don't think that approach could ever backfire horribly? No, you'll just keep blaming anybody except the ones responsible.

  391.  @keekee5638  "Should it not happen, then" The conservation has been happening for decades. Should we give it another 20 years just because some people refuse to admit they were wrong? I don't see why. "Rowling's position" Is almost word-for-word the same. She's already openly claimed that we should stop assuming trans people are innocent until proven otherwise, and has also said that she would have been 'transed' if she were a child today. Transphobia is 100% recycled homophobia, the only thing missing is religious dogma. "the nature of a society that maximizes trans inclusion/rights means that deep frameworks have to be dismantled and reconsidered" That isn't necessary to give trans people the same rights as cis people. Society would tick along pretty much the same. We know this, because we've tried it already. It worked fine. Limiting trans rights however - that requires dismantling frameworks. We know this, because some US states are currently trying to ban various forms of healthcare, expression and even literature. So we end up with places where I - a cis man - would not be able to read certain books, get particular types of healthcare or even wear a dress if I felt like it. This is a huge civil rights issue and incompatible with existing legistlation. "how do we move forward in defining/legislating gender and access to gender spaces based on someone's word" We've been doing that for centuries already. I have never had to prove my gender, everybody assumes that if I'm in a male-only space then I am supposed to be there. " But her question is connected to a needed dialogue" It's not, for reasons I have already explained that you have chosen to ignore.

  465. I'm amused you consider this relatively dispassionate argument to be "smug", I guess that says more about you than it does me though. So you're willing to admit that there was an effort made to maintain segration in housing, but you don't think the same effort would have been made in other aspects of society? Like..the workplace for example? Yeah that's no longer legal, but the fact remains that you just made the "racism is over because we banned it" argument. With a straight face, as far as I can tell. Second point, the US Sentencing Commission really isn't obligated to devote a page or two to everything you deem relevant. As it stands, the study does infact take into account criminal histories. They just didn't use the term "repeat". You'd know this if you actually read it, but you didn't read it. You hit the find button and searched for 'repeat'. Well, at least you clicked the link, so you've exceeded by expectations in that regard. Grasping at straws? That would be a step up for you, if you think you had a point in the first place. Heather Heyer could have died from brain injury, blood loss, a heart attack, that doesn't matter. I really don't care about the grisly details. What I care about is that somebody intentionally killed her. Her death would not be considered manslaughter. There was one suspect arrested, and he has been charged with first-degree murder. That's not the same as manslaughter. Oh what's that? The trial is later on this year? Yeah um, about that.. Fields was initially charged with a lesser crime, but after videos not released to the public were played in court, there was apparently enough evidence to upgrade his charges. Was there a gun? I guess we'll see. If you're trying to make a getaway though, driving into a crowd seems a little counterproductive. I dunno but if it was me I'd like..use the road or something. And if I hit a bunch of people on accident, I'd probably get out and run, not reverse into the crowd again. I'm just saying it doesn't look like a guy in fear of his life. Now call me smug if you wish, but I think that if at least three cameras caught the attack, and they STILL think it's murder...safe bet he's guilty my dude. Human liberties? Yah uh, I'm not actually a lawyer or a judge or a police officer. I can judge how I like. Let Fields prove me wrong if he can. (He can't) This last part is actually kind of funny, I'm not suggesting that Spencer had this guy round for dinner often or anything. I'm saying that they all marched under the same banner. You know, 'friend'. I'll let you off on that one though, maybe you thought I meant it literally.

  466. Ah, see here's what I'd refer to as a 'personal problem'. I'm confident that my assertions (based on facts) are correct. You think that's smug. Maybe I'm just a little more daring in life. I mean, you really don't have to look hard to find bigoty. Even if you try to ignore it, you can't. I know this isn't gonna make me look any less smug but..we both know I'm right here. People do want to stay close to home, yes that's true. But would you like to hear what happens in other countries? Yeah, people move across the city, or another street even. Baltimore is rigid in its segregation, even moving around the corner doesn't seem to be a thing. I've lived in cities and..that's not what normally happens. No really, you can take that one from me. Hey, I'm glad you conceded! Yeah, sexism is rife in America too. Another topic but might as well say it now. You're free to withhold judgement until after the trial, that's your call. I'm not waiting that long though, there's no risk to me, it's not like I put money on it. The crowd that was hit wasn't violent though, I could be wrong but..wasn't this some way apart from the actual tension? Weird how despite being open to so many people, only far-right lunatics showed up to the rally huh? Weird how they all screamed about jews and carried torches too. You'd think with how reviled fascists are, actual fascist groups would have assumed they should stay away. But no, oddly they felt welcomed. Spencer certainly has had ample oppurtunity to correct any smug assumptions we might have made about that. Speaking of, as an ethnostatist Spencer is definitely an advocate for violence. We can rule out any peaceful transition as impossible. Violence is the only means to his end, and yet he continues to support it? I guess violence isn't so bad in his eyes.

  613. The major corrections are in direct response to claims you made, so you're lying right now when you say they have nothing to do with it. -You're arguing semantics (which is never a good look) and you're getting them wrong. In English, multiples can become singular. Let's not argue over that bullshit though, you know what I meant. Christianity was diverse and varied across Europe. The fact that you have no idea what I'm talking about is..concerning, to say the least. Suffice it to say I'm no longer interested in your opinion of history, if you're actually ignorant to the countless wars and violence brought about by sectarianism following the reformation of Europe. I am still willing to share what I know, though. Speaking of which, I can't help but wonder if you learned history from your grandfather's history book. A "nation" of people is not defined by how many towns they have. Perhaps consult the dictionary? The British did not simply drop their prisoners off on Australia, it was a colony under British rule. Colonialism did not improve every nation it touched. India went from being one of the major world economies to one of the weakest under British rule. Ireland was lucky to have survived at all. I never claimed slavery and genocide were western inventions, I only said that these were used to propagate western culture, not its innate superiority. The British also used their own guns, money and soldiers to attack China, why? Not to stop slavery, but to force China into allowing slaves to be sold. Look up what the Opium wars were. Since I know you won't really do that, I'll explain one important fact: The UK did this after making slavery illegal. Their only problem was that other people were profiting from slavery, not that slavery existed. So they banned slavery and introduced 'indentured servants' (slaves). The idea that 'the west' invented the concept of law and nobody else figured it out until imperialists forced it upon them is batshit crazy. Civilisations existed all over the world. Also worth noting that poverty is increasing in Western nations, directly because of capitalism. Not a surprise, considering poverty is a necessary component of capitalist doctrine.

  903. You're standing on a sinking Titanic, and saying "This ship isn't sinking, because right now it's above water". It's unsustainable. The fact that people can work 50 hours a week and still not afford food is unsustainable. The fact that a single industry can exert control over most of the industrialised world, causing millions of deaths for the sake of their profit margins, is unsustainable. The relentless consolidation of wealth and power is definitely not sustainable. We're already at the point where a tiny minority of people have over half of the money that currently exists on the planet. No, you can't just "get a loan". Most small businesses fail anyway. (That's the consolidation of wealth and power in effect, by the way. Big companies don't want small companies to exist. So they don't let them) You can't just go into the woods, because you'll die. In my scenario it's not their money though. Think of it this way: I do work at my company, and for every hour I work, our clients pay my company $100. I only get $20 an hour, and the company keeps the rest. I'm doing the work, but I'm not getting the money. You say that's fair, because the company legally owns it all. Well fair enough, but what's the difference to a socialist nation where the state legally owns it all? The company makes money and pays some of it to the state, just like how I make money and let my boss keep it. If a company doesn't like it, they can go live in the woods. They're not forced, they can freely choose to not be a company, or to leave for another nation. What's the difference?

  908. I don't even need to get into that stuff, the alt-right adore conspiracy theories of all types. However, since you don't yet realise how out of your league you are: 1) No. You cannot wholly blame the revolution on Jews. You realise just how big it was? Come on, revolutions happen. 2) All lobby groups put the interests of the US on a lower priority. Tobacco companies choose money over Americans getting to live until old age, the NRA choose money over Americans geting to live until graduation. Who is responsible? Americans, for building a country where laws and policy are just another commodity to be traded. Can't pin that on Jews I'm afraid. 3) White ethnocentric organisations worked to destroy Jews first so...what do you expect? For you it's about getting to organise politically. For them it's about getting to stay alive. I wish the ADL the best of luck. 4) Culture of Critique flies in the face of everything we know about human psychology. All groups have a bias against outside groups, nobody disputes this. So when a majority group treats a minority poorly, we understand that this is just an ugly facet of humanity, the desire to assert supremacy at the expense of people we do not identify with. Yet somehow for this one minority, it's actually all their fault and has nothing to do with our innate tendency for bias? Hmm, no. That's actually not correct. 5) Wrong again, US intervention in the Middle East predates modern Israel. You know how many times the USA invaded Iran before Israel was founded? The UK too, don't act like this was all at the behest of 'The Jews' again. Both the USA, UK and other western empires have a centuries-long history of invading other, less advanced nations, stripping them of their wealth and forcing the population into labour. Israel provides significant assistance in this endeavor, and it is wrong to do so, but don't pretend like they started it, or that the USA doesn't benefit.

  916. I acknowledge that neither you nor Taylor is advocating for these things, but I am trying to tell you that those things are a necessary consequence of depopulating certain ethnicities from the USA. And that anybody with half a brain understands this. This means that Taylor KNOWS its going to happen, yet he pushes his bullshit anyway. He thinks he's morally in the clear because he's not the one actually advocating for violence, but he's not. I'll make an example: A train driver who accidentally hits somebody on the tracks is blameless. A train driver who gets a call from his friend that says 'I'm lying down on the tracks' is absolutely not blameless, even if he doesn't touch a single button on the console. Also if you're actually Ashkenazi, you're definitely not advocating in your own interests. We all know that this side of politics has a bit of a meme going on with Jewish people in general, and even if you're not directly supporting the antisemites, those guys are still going to feel empowered. Synagogues have already reported an increase in intimidating behaviour, we've already seen murders happen. I'm not sure where you're going with the hospital thing, isn't it the police department who disclose murders? I'm honestly not certain but I figure that if people died at the riot (or because of the riot) then the police would have definitely made a big stink of it. The attack at Charlottesville definitely isn't known because the family made it known, the media were all over it as soon as it happened. Before a death had been confirmed, it was on headlines. The distinction between Berkeley and Charlottesville as far as I can see, is that one was a riot caused by friction between two parties (albeit with some participants intentionally causing that friction) and the other was a premeditated attack, carried out without discrimination. If we consider gang fights terrorism, then suddenly every shootout in LA is a terrorist attack. I don't think that's especially helpful. For what it's worth, the terrorist at Charlottesville was only charged with murder, not terrorism. It's likely any arrested antifa at a riot wouldn't have been charged with terrorism either, but there does appear to be a slight political bias at play here. If you truly think that the alt-right hasn't assassinated any politicians, then where do you think Thomas Mair sits on the political scale? Just mainstream right? (Also 'race realists' are the alt-right. There's a reason they don't exist on the left, and that's because the whole gig is just a a covert way for fascists to express themselves in a less offensive way. You might not even realise this, which puts you more at risk)

  954. This video would make more sense if you knew what dogwhistling was. To sum it up, fascists know that saying what they truly feel would be deeply unpopular, so they code their ideals in harmless-sounding language. "White power" becomes "white pride" for example. The same concept (white supremacy) but wearing a different wig. So do not interpret the recognition of a dogwhistle as an attack on the concept it hides behind. "Western Culture" is one of these dogwhistles. It sounds inoffensive, but they are hiding a deeper meaning in there. Want to know how we can tell? Because there has never been a singular western people, or singular western culture. Europe is diverse as fuck, my dude, dozens of little nations all just chilling out with their own languages, traditions, customs and yes, ethnicities. Any actual westerner who is proud of their heritage will say something like "I am a proud Estonian" or "I enjoy my Portuguese identity". You call Contra delusional, except...the nazis are literally out here, self-identifying as nazis. Saying nazi things like "get rid of all the foreigners" or "jews will not replace us". And they participate in nazi pasttimes, such as terrorism, murder and intimidation. So they clearly exist on some level, therefore we cannot be delusional in recognising this. In regards to your (frankly laughable) defense of the US police, mistrust of the force isn't due to under-policing. It's because America is such a racist country it's not even safe to simply BE black around the police. I could start rattling off cases where unarmed, unaggressive, innocent black people were beaten up and or shot by the police, but I'd seriously be here all day. The fact that criminal activity kills more people isn't remotely relevant to this point, because we all understand and accept that gangs are bad and the criminals should be convicted. It almost never happens to the police though, even in open-and-shut cases where the officers involved were clearly in the wrong.
