Here is the best proxy for violence I can find, United Nations office on Drugs and Crime intentional homicide RATE (per xx population)
UK: 1.2
Italy: 0.57
Australia: 0.89
France: 1.2
Germany: 0.95
USA: 4.96
Â
On aggregate, the US is 5.6x more violent than these countries.
Add on top of that, the US has 8x the number of firearms per person.
Â
So what do you think tends to happen, when the police force runs into people that are 5.6x as violent, with 8x higher chance of having deadly arms?
Â
Please answer with facts and statistics instead of emotions and feelings.Â
I think police do what citizens do. They are paid to be better, though. Isnât that a fact?

Our country, if the political ads Iâm seeing for all races, local and national, are to be believed.
Blind âlaw and orderâ and âI back the blueâ are winning platforms. They actively resist any reform efforts. So, again, until we the people decide thatâs not what we want, weâll get more of that, and weâll get it good and hard.Tough to disagree about these ads being persuasive. Because almost everyone would like lawful order and to be able to back the blue. Framing the debate in terms of rule of law would help, IMO, because most folks want that, too.

Any cop like that would harass other people equally. Prejudices against minorities? Like it exists in every aspect society in every society since the beginning of time, sure. But you make it seem like every PD has a death squad out shooting africans got sport (which is an actual quote I read from someone).
Tautologically incorrect, no? Overt prejudice gets one fired from most government jobs. After warnings, and training films.

Seems reasonable.Â
What do we have to lose?

sure the governor can say what he wants. the courts will sort out what he can actually do.
at what point are we good? when the percentage of black people killed by police equals their population? are we good when the rioting and protesting stops? are we good when 1000 people killed by cops drops to half dozen or zero? are we good if we just abolish police unions but not other public sector unions?
keep trying and building your strawmen
I know you werenât asking me, but I subscribe to your solutions.Â

That's a slow weekend in Chicago. You know, all those "white supremacists" Â gunning each other down there.
I do not think thatâs part of the supremacist deal. Since your inference is black on black violence, I do not believe that violence in Chicago is the work of âblack supremacists.â But, whatever is behind intraracial violence, white folks kill more white folks than black folks kill black folks, daily, in aggregate, in the good olâ USA. It is fair to say that, given population percentage, black people are disproportionately at risk of that sort of violence, too. And that must fucking suck.
As socioeconomic forces are likely a major contributor to intraracial violence, it would be interesting to see the aggregate data broken down by both race and economic circumstance.

I don't think I played this game right. Sure, I buy those pickles in Texas, but they're not made here.
Fickle Pickles are made in Boerne, and are damn good. Somewhere between dill and bread ân butter. Get the spicy. Â
ÂI get them next to the coffee shop, behind Casa Verde in Gruene.

Mrs Hornâs carne enchiladas (SA style gravy) are so good, I think sheâd be offended if I suggested this ISD recipe.Â

Given the best ham is from acorn fed pork, it makes me surly Texas hasnât a world class ham product.Â
ÂNevertheless, Willie, SRV, TVZ, living in Austin as a student at UT, post oak for your smoker, Texas dominating OU at the State Fair, the corn tortillas, salsas, and horchata at Poco Loco, the Lebanese ladies belly dancing at Folklife in SA, offshore fishing out of Port A, the dance hall in Gruene, a bachelor party in Dallas with a mobbed-up cop offering felony protection, Vietnamese food in Houston, the Valley of Champions near Utopia, unhappily horny University Park housewives, parissa in Castorville, lightning in the sky Northwest of Dallas, the Rio Frio, Lost Maples, chile pequin, agarita, and yaupon holly, and Big Bend. Oh, and the naked redhead in the backseat, with the trunk full of cold Lone Star.
