> No, I was referring to cooperating with law enforcement authorities instead of antagonizing them at every possible chance.
That's not "a good aspect of Western culture". Non-Western culture also has law enforcement.
"Antagonizing" is the crux of the problem: with racial profiling and excessive policing of minorities, it's the police who's antagonizing. If you put people with guns and a predisposition against minorities in constant contact and friction will them, things will happen.
In any case, "antagonizing" law enforcement doesn't warrant execution or use of deadly force, at least not in a democracy.
> They do.
No, they don't.
> Not all police shootings are police brutality. In fact, I'd argue most are perfectly justified by suspects refusing to follow orders.
The link you provided specifically mentions police brutality, I guess you should have paid closer attention.
"Refusing to follow orders" seldom warrants shooting. Maybe in a dictatorship.
> I prefer to rely on hard data than on paranoid conspiracy theories.
You actually don't. The "hard data" you provided shows white people are NOT the primary victims of police shooting.
Also you're fixated on a conspiracy theory about BLM's leaders yadda yadda, when the reality is that this was a public outcry about police brutality. That's the hard data you ignore because your ideology is fixated on the "radical left" boogiemen.
> More palatable to blame the cops than the suspects who needlesly refuse to cooperate.
Non sequitur. Also, it's what your link states, I guess you should have paid closer attention.
> I read the comment. I disagree with the characterization.
Nah. I don't see your answer to that comment. I think you misread it, much like you misread the stats link you referenced.
