That list can't be true, some of those names are listed as being white.

How many innocent words are you going to kill?

[lincolnboy]

By one letter.

So...this is all good then?

...
Police Officer Kevin Quick, a member of the Waynesboro Police Department, was abducted by four African-American men. (H/T: Top Conservative News)

The men, who allegedly had ties with a Los Angeles-based gang, took Officer Quick to an ATM to withdraw money.

Quick was then driven to the forest and killed execution-style by the gang members.

It’s alleged that the motive for the killing was to allow the four suspects to move up in the gang hierarchy by proving their toughness.

Why isn't that in the MSM? At this point, it would make good headlines.

Regan Wagner, #650. White guy killed by a black cop (who knew him), while sitting in his vehicle. It happened two days before Michael Brown. I still don't understand why his death didn't warrant attention by the news. I don't think it's even made it to the Grand jury yet.

More than 999 Americans have been killed by police so far this year by not complying with police officers while they investigate a crime.

1/300,000? Meh.

Again the root of the problem is over militarization, lack of training and unintelligence all rolled into one. Last thing you need are under trained dumb guys with lots of lethal gear in positions of authority. It's a recipe for disaster.

That and the war on drugs and for profit prisons.

No. What you have is the complete downward spiral of our entire society as a whole to some degree. The complete lack of respect for any kind of authority(not just the police). The whole time out bullshit instead of a little corporal punishment. Everyone gets a trophy, little Johnny is failing so it's the teachers fault, etc etc. There are zero consequences anymore for actions and no one accepts responsibility for anything. The reason we have more gear is because everyone else has more gear also. In the seventies every house didn't have an AR and body armor. Hell any one with about an hour can look up on the internet how to build bombs. Not to mention how many high power weapons are on the streets these days? I have no issue with the weapons part, but don't expect me to go into a gun fight out gunned. Yes, lets blame everything on the police. With out the police you would be living in anarchy. You think your town could function with out police? I would be willing to bet that for every four perfectly well rounded citizens you have, one or two are shit heads. Actually with out the police I would bet that number would even change a little for the worse. Their are plenty of people out there that only act right because they know there will be consequences for their actions. Hey I get it, there are complete fuck ups out there that make us all look bad. The flip side to that is that there are probably 100,000 at work right now with no issues. Last week, in one day, in a small town, I went on three hot calls involving weapons, almost in a row. So three calls, of fairly high intensity, making split second decisions, in a row. The possibility for error in my job is very high, but we deal with it. We also understand that mistakes will be made. It is very easy to arm chair quarterback this job, and point fingers.
