This is standard leftist propaganda. They conflate two ideas in an attempt to confuse you into assuming they’re right. (Hint: Lefties are rarely, if ever, correct)
He gives no examples. He wants to draw the picture of an unarmed individual who is gunned down by the police (perhaps he’s stealing a loaf of bread so his nephew can eat). How wrong is it for the police to do that?!?
In reality, police are required to use force or threaten to use force in every interaction they have with a suspect. They provide orders, and there is the threat of force if you don’t follow them. Worse if you’ve got a weapon, then the cops pull their guns on you.
What the left-tard is arguing is that the police have no right to use force in their day (unless the cop’s life is in danger). All this means is that criminals could just walk away and there would be no consequences.
If he was trying to make the argument that police shouldn’t use excessive force in carrying out their job, then guess what retard, that’s already the rules in place. We’re in agreement with that, what a surprise. But he’s not arguing this, because he’s a defund-the-police type of guy.
This is how left-tards lie. They equivocate on language, they obfuscate in attempt to confuse people who don’t think about what they’re saying, they use fallacies, and illogical arguments to attempt to convince you that the nonsense they believe makes sense.
now THIS is an impressive piece of propaganda. How am I conflating two things if cops courts and prisons are all part of the same corrupt system? And your blanket statement "anyone who doesn't think like me is automatically wrong" lmao. 'the left' is really just another word for educated people that recognize our colonial roots is still evident in our power structures.
You're thinking too small. The structure of society itself has had racist and white supremacist roots from the very founding of our respective policing forces. In 'murica, they were formed to round up runaway slaves. Canada's NWMP was basically a military force formed to colonialize the native population and crush any resistance. Today our prisons overrepresent them to an insane degree. Indigenous women make up 32% of the federal prison population while being less than 5% total pop. -,Indigenous%20women%20now%20account%20for%20almost%20half%20of%20the%20female,cent%20of%20the%20total%20population.)
Indiginous youth even worse. "In 2016-2017, Indigenous youth (12 to 17 years) accounted for 8 percent of all youth in the provinces and territories (Department of Justice Canada 2018a).Footnote10 However, in 2016-2017 they accounted for a much higher proportion of young people admitted to the corrections system: 46 percent"
It's obvious they're being policed more heavily with less leniency.
[And about police use of force.
The CBC set out to compile a database of every person who died or was killed during a police intervention from 2000 to the end of 2017. Researchers gathered information on race and ethnicity from a variety of sources and found Black and Indigenous people were severely overrepresented.
In Winnipeg, for example, Indigenous people made up about 10.6 per cent of the city’s population in that period. But more than 60 per cent of the people who died in police encounters were Indigenous. (In April, Winnipeg police officers shot and killed three Indigenous people in10 days.)
In Toronto, Black people accounted for 37 per cent of victims. They make up slightly more than eight per cent of the population.
Other reports have shown similar patterns. In November 2019, the Globe and Mail reported that between 2007 and 2017 more than one-third of people shot to death by the RCMP were Indigenous. Indigenous people make up less than five per cent of the population.
And according to a study by the Ontario Human Rights Commission, Black Torontonians are 20 times more likely to be shot by police than the city’s white residents.
LOL Mac sure showed that imaginary straw man who's boss. Who's he even arguing with here? I've never once heard anyone say the cops should just shoot non-threatening criminals to prevent them escaping. Nobody believes that.
The problem is harder to see in Canada because statscan only counts death by cop if they're criminally charged - when ya know it's their word vs a dead guy, and their partner will be an accomplice because the blue code of silence and pressure from every other officer.

Last week Regis Korchinski-Paquet, a 29-year-old Black woman, died after her mother called Toronto police and asked them to take her daughter to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. During her encounter, Korchinski-Paquet fell from a 24th-floor apartment balcony. Korchinski-Paquet’s family members said that before she fell, she was calling to her mother for help. The incident is being investigated by Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit. ](https://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/public-interest-inquiry-racial-profiling-and-discrimination-toronto-police-service/collective-impact-interim-report-inquiry-racial-profiling-and-racial-discrimination-black#Executive%20summary) Oh and as an added bonus why don't you read up on Starlight Tours? Police in Sakatoon would pick up indigenous poeple in the middle of the night, middle of winter - and then drive them miles and miles out to city bounds and abandon them to the cold.

You have too much faith.
In what? What the fuck are you (the guy in the tweet) even talking about?
Racial concerns are bolstered by data from sources such as the Washington Post police shootings database, which has kept track of police shootings in the United States since 2015. Between 2015 and 2019, U.S. police killed an average of nearly 1,000 people per year. African Americans made up only 13% of the total U.S. population, but accounted for a full 24% of the victims of police shootings. Conversely, whites made up roughly 60% of the population, but only 46% of the deaths from police shootings. The threat of police violence looms larger in some regions than others. Black persons in Oklahoma are six times more likely to be killed by police than those in Georgia. Additionally, eight of the 100 largest police departments in the United States—Reno, NV; Oklahoma City, OK; Santa Ana, CA; Anaheim, CA; St. Louis City, MO; Scottsdale, AZ; Hialeah, FL; and Madison, WI—kill black men at higher rates than the U.S. murder rate. On the other hand, many countries have an extremely low number of police killings. For example, police killings are virtually nonexistent in some European countries. Denmark, Iceland, and Switzerland have all reported zero police killings. Perhaps unsurprisingly, all three are among the top ten safest countries in the world. In fact, police in Iceland do not carry firearms—which may help explain why the 2013 police killing of a single civilian was the only such event the country has experienced in its entire history. Additionally, Hong Kong, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, and Saint Lucia average one police killing in a year. Of these, Portugal and New Zealand are also considered to be among the ten safest countries in the world.
It's not an unavoidable problem. And Irving Waller proved that you can treat crime by improving society and providing opportunities.
AngelaDavisprovesthat incarceration doesn't do anything it claims to do. Doesn't deter crime, reduce recidivism or rehabilitate offenders. And again, compared to developed countries have all but eliminated prisons by not waging a war on drugs, actually training cops, and rehabilitating offenders. Nobody needs to die.
The problem is harder to see in Canada because statscan only counts death by cop if they're criminally charged - when ya know it's their word vs a dead guy, and their partner will be an accomplice because the blue code of silence and pressure from every other officer.
Come on Ham. The problem is so obvious if you just don't turn your head. The fbi even warned us in 2006 that white supremacists were infiltrating the police force and leadership.
Happy reading fam
