Another slaying of police officers (in Baton Rouge)

Gavin Long was a 29 year old black male. College-educated, graduated Dean's List from U of Alabama in 2012. To those wondering.

technically 3, seeing as JimLes liked it too. I don't think Thrill is being that inflammatory.

two things:

i) my thoughts are with the families of these officers. I bet they were probably some of the nicest ones-- the good always die early
ii) how much longer until people start launching arguments about firearms not being safe in the hands of Black people?

is there any history of this argument? Cuz there's a history of people wanting the 2nd Amendment to not apply to blacks.

Actually, for half of our country's history, blacks legally couldn't own weapons.

Hell, they've only had the right to vote and use the same bathroom facilities for a little over 50 years.

Holy God. Did I just figure out time travel? This feels like 1879 or smth.
 
Its pretty sad the lack of support cops are getting here on Jazzfanz and in America in general.

One of the cops shot dead was a black man. Blacklivesmatter? Ya right, this is a war on cops by criminals. And all the excuse making liberals are happy about it and are enabling it with their rhetoric. What a damn shame. This is a new low for liberals. What a bunch of ungrateful morons. You are the party for criminals. We all know it.

RIP to those officers. I feel for their families. They deserved better.

To all the cops in America. I appreciate the sacrifice you make volunteering to do a very tough job. Me and my family cant thank you enough.

This is one of the main problems we have right now. We have police shooting innocent people. We have people shooting innocent cops. Then we have people trying to politicise the issue, like you, instead of trying to solve the problem and fix it. You want to bring political parties into the equation or talk about liberals as the problem. The problem is bad people doing bad things. This includes liberals, conservatives, cops as well as the people shooting cops. There are plenty of great cops (most of them). There are some bad ones as well. Let's fix the racism and let's fix the system for training and hiring police who have so much power. Let's hold police to a higher standard than people who have less power. Yes, let's praise the good cops we have and ask them to stand up for what's right even to other cops. Stop trying to blame the "other side." Good people in America are trying to make world a better place on both sides of the issues. Take the time to see issues from both sides and the world will be a better place. Stop letting politicians talk you into blaming the other party for problems because they are out to advance their party and their careers. We have problems, don't blame people who are trying to fix it even if it's different from the way you think it should be fixed. It's easier to see differences but it's much more productive to find similarities.

No one thinks all cops are bad and if they do it's in very poor uneducated misguided communities that need help to escape a very vicious cycle working against them. But it's ignorant to think all cops are good people and are always going to make the right decision under pressure. Let's figure out how to weed out the bad ones early and help good ones make better choices under pressure. I enjoy volunteering at the police station for lots of different trainings they go through. Most the cops are awesome to work with. I don't think liberals or conservatives or any other silly generic label that fits no one want police shot or police shooting people that are not endangering others lives.

This rant is over and this post probably has a lot of typos in it.

Also on a side note (rant not over) if you consider yourself 100 percent Republican or 100 percent Democrat and your not a politician you need to educate yourself more on issues and stop listening to one side only. Parties were made and exist so that people with different ideas can band together and get those ideas pushed through the system. Joining or voting for a party means or should mean you are sacrificing some of your beliefs to push your greater beliefs. Buying into one party all the way means you probably got a little brain washed somewhere along the line...

Mostly this rant isn't directed at the person quoted, just stuff that's been bugging me lately.
