everything you dumb motherfukker rofl

the government created high crime ghettos with high minority rates, obviously police killings are going to be higher in those areas because more criminals exist in those areas... You know why more criminals exist in those areas? Not because they're black, but because of drugs the government introduced into those areas in the 80's breaking the family structure. You see there's levels to this shyt, but you want to post pro black racist bullshyt online, and blm wants to burn a car...


fukk outta here weirdo!
Uhhhhhh okay.

Going to write this as a lifelong Milwaukeean and former resident of the Sherman Park neighborhood. I grew up where everything went down (literally around the corner) and visited frequently until the last six months or so. Just a few points to maybe cut through some noise. Or, maybe not.

Off rip, on Sylville Smith's record - if you're arguing for or against the dude based on his record, use this site:
wcca.wicourts.gov

I've seen the Milwaukee County Municipal Court records page (which will usually just display traffic/minor violations) or memes being used as a backdrop for discussion. Neither one makes either side's argument look good. Peep that link above (that covers most, if not all, serious and minor violations), think for yourself, and take it from there.

Agents in Sherman Park? Nah, not likely. It's an area of hard working middle-class folks, some lower-class hard working folks and then some of the lesser elements that are born out of the city being so fukked up. Most of the people there give a fukk about the community and genuinely look out for each other. What makes it so fukked up here? It's mostly a strong (and lengthy) history of segregation/redlining, which begat serious poverty, which begat other issues like teenage pregnancy (at one point, Milwaukee was at the top or near the top in this category for some time), crime (obviously), shytty public schools, high dropout rate in those schools, a lack of an established black middle class (one of the most underrated factors here, in my opinion) and a litany of other issues which contributed to this cauldron that just bubbled over. If someone really wanted to foment a true revolution, or get the attention of the stringpullers, they would have gone west a few minutes and started shyt in Washington Heights (where the mayor resides) or Tosa.

David Clarke? He's a loudmouth c00n and living, breathing lawn jockey, but doesn't have as much power here as some might think. His office patrols the freeway and county parks mostly. If you want to follow closely, pay attention to the next moves of the bytch-made governor (Scott Walker), Tom Barrett (nice dude and usually means well, but perpetually looks out of his element), and Ed Flynn (head of the pigs). Basically, if Barrett and Flynn can't hold this shyt together, Walker (probably more so for appearance's sake than any real concern) will send in the Guard (at Flynn's request). That probably won't end well.

If you take issue with the reaction here in relation to the person killed, I'd say for every Sylville Smith, there's a Frank Jude or Dontre Hamilton. For that O'Reilly's or BMO Harris (bank) that got torched and put our people out of jobs, there's the BP (not owned by us) whose owners bucked at someone that looks like you. Would I advocate burning down Sherman Park? Probably not; I'm not sure it will even amount to a pyrrhic victory. But, I understand.

Those weren't people who were "fed up," those were people looking for any excuse to be violent and attack innocent people and wreck shyt like the pieces of trash they are, especially considering that the officer wasn't even white, but a black man.

Police brutality against black people is a real thing that should be addressed, but each incident where a black person is shot should be scrutinized as a case by case basis, especially in this day and age of agenda driven internet journalism. All evidence here so far points to this kid making his own bed. He wasn't Trayvon. He wasn't Sean Bell. He wasn't Eric Garner. He was a budding criminal, sometimes they die young, sometimes they end up getting murdered by their peers, and sometimes they end up going to prison and cleaning themselves up. He rolled the dice and lost, it is what it is.
Couldn't have said it better myself:francis:

Looking through twitter most white people seem to have a problem with the looting. They're using the looting to justify their racist comments.

No. Justice system never does it job so this is what happen. Instead of letting these clowns off, why not produce Justice? I think the cop was rightfully gunned down.

This is a social media meme argument. There are white criminals who get shot dead by police and there are black criminals who get taken in alive, not every black criminal is getting shot dead on sight, if that were the case the prison population wouldn't be what it is now. Does this mean there isn't a problem with racial bias when it comes to police shootings? NO, but like I said, each and every incident should be examined on it's own merits.

Some of you think you're living in some type of anarchy, the truth of the matter is that you really aren't ready for anarchy. That's why cheering on assaulting innocent people over some dumb shyt comes off as mad cowardly. As flawed as our system is, there is some type of semblance of law and order, whether you want to admit it or not. If the families of young, budding criminals are unable to reel them in and put them on the right path it isn't the responsibility of greater society to show sympathy, our responsibility, no matter what race WE are, is to make sure they are kept off the streets, no matter what race THEY are.

We don't feel sorry for white people.

There are millions of black Americans in this country, which means there are thousands upon thousands of police interactions with black each year.
There are millions of white people in this country and the same thing goes for them.
And as we know, black people are undeniably disproportionately killed by police.
But here are the facts, these are the numbers:
"Almost 1,200 people, mostly minorities, killed by US cops in 2015. US law enforcement officers killed up to 1,199 people last year, the majority of whom were 'people of color'. According to the open-source reporting project Killed by Police, 574of those who died were minorities, 511 were white, and 107 undetermined."
This is not a fukking genocide, this is not cops going door to door and slaughtering each Tamir Rice they see, this is less black people than live in my city killed among (according to the 2009 census) 38,093,725 black Americans, if you think that's a genocide not only are you wrong, but you're dangerously paranoid and should probably go seek professional help.
And that also means, thousands upon thousands of innocent black Americans and criminals, aren't shot by the police each year, so as you said, every time someone comes up and says "b-but white people with guns arent killed" it's a irritating meme argument as you can find the same with black people and vice versa.
According to thecoli, I should be ready to buck up and go slaughtering police; and don't get me wrong, I fully acknowledge how corrupt and broken the police and judicial system is in the US and the millions of minority lives it's ruined up to this day.
But every day I go out there's no reason for me to fear being shot by police, i'm more afraid of a statistically unlikely home invasion than that, and my personal experiences with police whether that's me and other black friends/my sister being caught on a school roof and being let go by a white cop, calling the police when a black friends stepdad was assaulting him, being called to our home during conflict, arresting people related to me, etc etc I haven't been mistreated by them (though I don't believe that means they're in theory there to help me and people should always be wary of their interactions with police and record if possible) once, yet people here tell me if you're black and call the police you 're just going to be assaulted or killed or mistreated or something no matter what.
And a lot the cops in my hometown had a good relationship with all the black and Hispanic youth, even those who were in an out of juvie/probation, and the campus cops helped a lot of people and did cool things with us, and the cops who did DARE back in elementary school had good relationships with us as we went through our school years, and so on so forth.
Hell even the people I know personally who were in and out of jail or were mistreated by the police aren't taking coli stances on them.
Me getting up and pretending to be Michael Xavier Johnson crying for war would be totally dishonest with my actual experiences, nor is anyone crying for that on this site actually ready for it (like you said).
Edit:These posters don't want to give an honest/logical look at the situation, they just look at the world through black and white lenses because doing so creates a victim complex which they can use to strengthen their extremism and ad moral justification to their cause as well as shame others for not being on board because they see at as the epitome of a life or death(extermination) situation.
It's pure tribalism.
