Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

I apologize for asking the question so clumsily. I'm pretty sure we both believe there is differential policing at most levels of contact, and I never intended to imply otherwise.

I am only asking about whether you believe differential policing is true at all levels of contact before the police draw weapons and/or fire weapons, but that this effect loses potency when it comes to actually drawing weapons or firing weapons. That's what I understand to be the position that you are arguing.

Personally, I find that unlikely. If police see black people, particularly black men, as a larger threat and need more force used when they are searching, arresting, or restraining people, I don't see those biases disappearing suddenly when they draw/fire guns.

I do think it possible and even likely for most officers in most scenarios. Let me start over:

You can count on Archie Moses to justify the shooting of black people. He'll condemn it generally, but manages to downplay just about every individual case.

Although some of us may question a lot of the hype over individual events, that does not mean we downplay the overall significance of the effects that policing disparity has on black citizens and communities. We are in the middle of BLM's historic movement. Although some of the people held up as martyrs may come across to me as distasteful, I understand it is not about just one individual circumstance, but rather each circumstance is added to a tally and used as a rallying point for the bigger picture movement.

Please stop treating those who question the reaction to individual instances as alt right and deplorable, and mischaracterizing in ways we all know is not fair.

I have an idea what went down.

A kid with a murder fantasy took his AR-15 to a situation he was pretty sure he would eventually feel threatened in. He was right. When that magical moment happened for him he was able to kill two other human beings and hit a third.

Many ejaculations he will have remembering his heroic accomplishment.

I don't think Archie Moses, himself, is alt-right. Were I to venture an opinion, I would say he defaults to respecting authority, keeping order, and the assumption the police acted appropriately until shown otherwise. Since their are serious motivational ties between the police and the ait-righters, that leads to his frequent quoting of their the alt-righter opinions and sources without researching the people offering the opinions.

As for you, I think of you as a contrarian. It can be a valuable service or a tiresome nuisance.

His Facebook page. The guy constantly participated and shared posts from a group that was previously openly called Antifa but changed that due to Antifa being banned and being labeled a terrorist organization or something like that.

I could give you links with screenshots of his Facebook page and all, but someone like Zombie will say I'm somehow affiliated with them and yadayada. Just Google his name and antifa.
Surprised it didn't get much run after he did it, especially in Utah.
