Awareness, I hate to break the news to you, but: More African American males are killed by African American males than by white cops. And to think that the random killing of ANY police officers in cities NOT connected to the events of the last few days is excusable because in some city 300 miles away and in some other city over a thousand miles away, black men were killed by cops is excusable because African American males were killed by cops makes the same fucking sense as banning all Muslims because less than 2% of the entire world's population of Muslims are terrorists, AND putting every Muslim in the US under surveillance for the same reason. And of course, fringe groups telling people to shoot cops makes matters worse, and the random shooting of cops in cities not even close to where the incidents happened is going to result in one thing, more cops worried that the next African American male they have to deal with may try to kill them, which means more police involved shootings, more protests, more cops killed.... And then you have some idiots that are using this as a reason to ban guns. Personally, I have decided that these incidents in response to police involved shootings where police are purposely targeted because of the fact they are cops have proven one simple fact. The majority of humans are so fucking stupid the race is an evolutionary failure. Now, tell me how the logic of "A white officer in another state in a city 1000 miles away stupidly killed a black man so I am going to go and shoot a bunch of cops who are just trying to make sure a peaceful demonstration does not become a riot" is going to solve any goddamn problem? I can see a lot of ways it is going to make the problem a hell of a lot worse. Lets start with the obvious ones: 1) Civil unrest in major cities results in authorities declaring a state of emergency and instituting martial law and mandatory curfew. A) This move allows for governors to mobilize national guard to aid Law Enforcement agencies in keeping the peace. B) A peaceful rally to protest this move is held, and the authorities order personnel in to break it up, one idiot throws a rock at a cop or guardsman and some other idiot starts shooting, result, a few dozen innocent men women and children dead. Yup, randomly shooting cops to protest some cop a thousand miles away sure fixed the problem. You think it cant happen, well it damn near did after the King verdicts in California, the LA riots were something to see, I know I was there. It is a wonderful sight to see armed troops patrolling a US city to keep the peace. Reminded me of some of the places the army sent me to.
