Black officers beat a black man to death for no reason. Is that a first? The video is unclear.
So can this be explained because I do not understand?

Actually no it can't be explained because no one knows what all went on. You'll have to wait for the trial for the truth to come out fully. Officers are still being charged.

Yeah they pulled a guy over for a simple traffic stop and beat him to death.
Stands the reason that there's going to be public outrage.
This guy apparently has no empathy for a guy who was beat to Death for no reason and you wonder why people don't like Christians

What's Christianity have to do with this?

Yeah maybe we don't know the whole story but at the risk of being redundant, let's just say he was resisting
Five cops can't subdue one guy without beating him to death and apparently they are horrendously under trained

Dr Martin Luther King once said that riots are the voice of an unheard people
In context I don't think he was condoning rioting but rather describing a symptom of a bigger problem which is when people feel their voices aren't heard they're going to act out
And you notice these officers were pretty much immediately arrested in charged
So maybe the court system are finally wising up and realizing that the public at large will not tolerate anything less than Swift Justice when cops break the law

Yes but rioters weren't getting paid to riot then. And I read that MLK didn't do marches at night because he didn't want to stir up trouble. These rioters are not "unheard". We have the mansion of BLM heads to prove that.

Yeah. BLM is a scam but I already mentioned that on other threads

Being all meh about a guy who was beaten to death for reason
Really feeling the Christian love

They mentioned it was a special squad, wondering what that was all about. Going to take some time, but it will all come out. But the fact that the cops are all black has made a difference, which is hypocritical. Don't know the answer, but they have got to get a hold of this. I'd say, pay cops more, train better. Would be a good start.

The reason I think Lynx it's just trolling and being an edge Lord is because it could be literally any topic like I could say I think Captain crunch is better than fruit loops. His response would be since I don't believe like he does then my opinion on cereal is invalid
This is what it's called a non sequitur
You're getting me confused with someone else in this thread. I never said your opinion is invalid because you are no longer a christian. I saw where someone else said it though.

And being an edge lord seems like too much drama for me. No thank you.

This issue is not a spiritual problem but a civil matter.

The officers who beat the man were hired to their positions as part of EO program to begin with. Basically just giving them their jobs because of no other qualifications than the color of their skin.

And statistically where Blacks make up 15% of the population they are committing about 40% of the crimes in America. That is most definitely a reasonable reason for "profiling". If in the UK and a fight breaks out in a bar...that Irish guy is likely the culprit in how it got started.

Couple that with the fact that culturally a class system has developed across the USA. If you are in a lower economic class your "rights" as a citizen are too expensive for you to exercise anymore. Only the wealthiest citizens have full access to their rights as the State is a giant that is in control. The blindfold has come off of lady Justice. Where the police are getting blamed...it really is the Prosecutor's Office that is the real culprit in abusing the citizens who do not have the financial resources to stand up to the Government.

Police, like county and State Prosecutors are all worried about having "good numbers " when demonstrating that they are good at their jobs. That requires arrests and convictions and revenue from fines. And in their zeal to have proof of their doing a "good job" the rights of the average citizen are getting abused.

So when this obvious disparity was brought to light...the gubbermint began reducing fines and penalties based solely on the color of skin. But did nothing to solve the problems of their own malfeasance.

There has been an investigation into Massachusetts' drug laboratories where the two labs for the state had gross violations of protocols....one was addicted to drugs and high at work regularly and the other wasn't bothering to test anything. The prosecutors gave each culprit light sentences and committed fraud in the courtrooms before the judges. (They lied)
But these drug labs had sent people to jail for decades....based on their tests. A $20 bag of heroine gets a man 7 years...but these drug lab techs got around a combined total of three years (18 mo ea)

And the riots continue.

TRO....

So once again, you come to a Christian forum in order to post something controversial, where you make accusations against Christians, and then when Christians quite reasonably and expectedly disagree with you... you call them names and pretend to be victimized by their disagreement.

These methods are silly, the deceit is palpable, and the psychological manipulation is beyond obvious.

When people show up to irritate others, for the sheer enjoyment of the irritation... we used to call that trolling.
Do we not use that word anymore?

The individual in question, I've never seen him respond to any of my comments or questions with a reply that's relevant to the topic.
Usually he just responds with some type of self-righteous passive aggressive comment
That's trolling
Even if we're discussing something like gun permits which has nothing to do with anything biblical or religious, he does the same thing.

You should at least appreciate his consistency.

To my knowledge there haven't been any riots in this case, as the officers were pretty much immediately arrested and charged

The police did it because they could. Just IMAGINE what it would be like if the police were white (only one of 'em was and they tried to cover him as long as they could)!!!!

Just what the MEDIA PRAY FOR!!!!
