@athousandyoung saidBecause chicago has the highest murder rate of any US city.
Why is it that life matters enough for you to post about Chicago but you never point out that the murder rate is higher in Missouri than in Illinois?
If you want to talk about states, Louisiana holds the highest rate.
But I am not talking about states, you are. Why I dont know.
@mott-the-hoople saidNo actually we were talking about the police shooting a child and you changed the subject.

That will teach kids not to call the cops for help.
Ya got that right, unfortunately, and it also teaches them to hate police.

maybe you have the answer. Why is it that this black life matters enough for you to post about it but you never mention the ones killed every week in chicago? Sometimes 10 or 15, sometimes more. I would venture a guess of 25 this weekend.
Can you answer this simple question?

you couldnt answer so you started moving the goal posts
@mott-the-hoople saidWhy are you bringing up the child's race? What matters is a government man shot a child.

@athousandyoung saidJust a question, honestly not baiting, why the emphasis on "government" man. It would be worse, I would think if it was a non-government man. At least the "government" man would have some sort of authority to address a situation.

What matters is a man shot a child, thats all.

@jimmac saidTo drive home conservative hypocrisy. These cons are constantly going on and on about how evil government is and how horrible the idea of government men with guns is. Remember when they arrested Roger Stone and conservatives kept ranting about how this poor old man was being abused by government men with guns?

You hear that a lot from the Right - "government men with guns are bad" - except when it comes to shooting minority children.
Like Mott says I have an agenda. But of course so does he.
They want to weaken the government by denying it funding until it is weak enough to drown in the bathtub - but Defund the Police is bad...

Tucker Carlson Says Biden Will Send 'Men With Guns’ If You Say The Wrong Things
https://www.friesian.com/rand.htm
Rand's fundamental law of morality, that one is never justified in initiating the use of force against others (though I am now told that this originally came from Lysander Spooner), has been adopted as the basic Principle of the Libertarian Party. This is an illuminating version of the Moral Law in that it highlights an aspect of morality, politics, and law often overlooked: That they are about the justification of the use of force. People who casually toss around ideas about what should and should not be allowed in society, or about how much of people's income should be taxed, or what restrictions should be put on property rights, often don't seem to be aware that they are talking about sending men with guns, the police, against people who don't agree with such dispositions and who may not be willing to comply with them.
@jimmac saidYou are of course welcome to start a thread on any other child that gets shot - for example

But somehow I suspect nobody will be as concerned because it wasn't the government killing those people.

@athousandyoung saidbecause you or cnn would not be concerned if there werent blacks and police involved.
Why are you bringing up the child's race? What matters is a government man shot a child.
the media or you never mention any other situations that dont involve blacks vs police.
this is your agenda…to have everyone think there is a police war on blacks. The facts are bad things occur to the whole society.
You should broaden your info sources, you are being manipulated by liberal media.

Ahh, just a heavily armed SWAT team complete with helicopters just to arrest a 78 year old man.
The FBI tipped off CNN so they could record the show meant to manipulate you libs.
