I hope your watch has a new battery in it.
Don't waste your time with them.
Something is wrong with this entire story, I don't believe this "Diamond"'s account of what went down, who films a friend's death after he is shot?
Of course, the MSM and other liberals went with her narrative, but it just doesn't ring true at all. The cop isn't Chinese, he's Hispanic but that's good enough.

Would it be okay for white people to pass themselves off as black?
That is not the question. Would you like to be treated the same as Black people? Simple question. Should be easy to answer.
Black people are treated better. Just what, last month, the Supreme Court made "Affirmative Action", preferences for blacks, a constitutional right.
If you listen to Smyth and his ilk, pretty soon whites will be a minority in the US, and since they say that is fair treatment, they better like being treated as a minority!

Exactly.
He knows that they are treated differently. And I'm telling you that his attitude is the same in devaluing the lives of Blacks as we're seeing in police departments across this nation.
It's disgusting and the same type of maltreatment of life Blacks received during slavery and Jim Crow. This is one of the primary reasons that a lot of Blacks will tell you that the race problem has not gotten better in this country since the 60s. Sure the surface has changed. But you've got the same internalized hatred and disgust for black and brown people in a lot of white folks that was evident in slavery and the 60s. And it in turn perpetuates all sorts of stereotypes and devaluation of black and brown lives.
You are glued to that same old false narrative. You need to get a good dose of truth in your system.
Many Blacks in America have far more hatred and ugliness that is exhibited in not only their vile words --but their deeds. Their percentage of criminality far exceeds their 13% of the population.
I would want to be treated like law-abiding blacks are --the ones that are not argumentative --that are not violent --that don't have a rap sheet a mile long. So yeah, I'd like to be treated as those nice blacks are.
How often are young black men arrested where as a young white man would only be warned?
Do you think non-aggressive, law-abiding young blacks are treated the same as young non-aggressive, law-abiding whites?

Stop throwing that silly fish this way. It had nothing to do with anything other than an attempt by some white folks to change the topic of conversation from police officers murdering unarmed black and brown people.

Do you spend as much time in examine your own attitudes and seeking ways to improve them as you do in examining and condemning others?
She didn't. She thought he was only shot in the arm. And he was alive when transported to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he died.
When she was told it did not look as if he would make it she wept and got hysterical. Her 4 year old daughter can be heard trying to comfort her on the tape.
An armed petty thug that gets off on harassing police finally took a bullet. After being pulled over 50+ times (i.e. he flaunts the law daily) in his young adult life, the only question, what took so long for him to get shot? The police do a remarkably good job given the provocation they face daily by thugs.
He was pulled over for a broken tail light, not for being black.

DWB? Driving while black? You have never been a black man driving in a white community, have you?
He wasn't pulled over 50 times. He was pulled over perhaps 10 or 12 times and given multiple infractions. He's not a thug, he's a person with a permit to carry. And you say, "what took him so long to get shot?" I don't know--in your world do they shoot people that don't wear a seat belt? That have expired license tabs? Sheesh!
The "city" of Falcoln Heights is barely 2.5 square miles in area and has a population of 5,500 people. Yet there were 4,300 traffic citations there in 2015. Hmmmm....I wonder if the police are a bit aggressive in pulling people over? Ya think?
No, he wasn't. He was stopped 52 times since getting his drivers license. That's about 3 times per year. He was issued 86 citations for everything from speeding to improper lane usage to not using his turn signal.
Over half of those 86 citations were dismissed by the judge as being without merit.
He has never been convicted of a serious crime.
The shooting occurred in the Falcon Heights district which is a mostly white, mostly affluent community. And a place a black man is most likely to be stopped for "Driving While Black."
The University of Minnesota Law School conducted a study, using information supplied voluntarily by 65 law enforcement jurisdictions in Minnesota, and found a strong likelihood that racial and ethnic bias played a role in traffic stop policies and practices. Overall, officers stopped minority drivers at greater rates than whites and searched them at greater rates, but found contraband in those searches at lower rates than whites.
The analysis found the pattern was more pronounced in suburban areas. In Fridley, New Hope, Plymouth, Sauk Rapids and Savage combined, blacks were stopped about 310 percent more often than whites.
