What does the fact, that he was a peace- activist (or whatever else) has to do with the fact, that he was almost killed by the police?

No, you are not the only one, thinking that!

A bunch of other loony right wingers and conspiracy- theorists believe it too!

I refer you to many-aposts above yours!

Sick of So many black people saying they are oppressed ,cant get jobs etc etc ,well in the UK MY  best friend was black so was his brother ,just went to ordinary schools and worked hard ,both now own their own businesses ,one is very well off ,but then they didnt moan about being black ,but got off their ars-s and worked hard to get where they are today , as for racism ,neither ever ,ever spoke to me about anything like that ,but then they were not losers who always played the race card.

Exactly. There is a common theme with succesful people, especially Black people. They don't have a million and one excuses, they don't buy into victimhood, etc. And usually these succesful (whether moderately succesful or wealthy) Blacks (not always though) are conservatives (as in "US conservative"/Republican, not kiddy fiddling/Rasta cruising tories of the UK; big difference).

 

Even the few classic liberals still left, are starting to complain that they're being attacked as racists, right wingers, etc. It's crazy how far to the left the Democrats are drifting, and how they're using all the race baiting to "buy" the minority votes, on which they've been depending for decades.

 

If anything, Blacks have it easier than everyone else in the "system". They get into college with lower scores and still get preferential recruiting slots, they will get a job over an equally qualified/better qualified White male, if the quota dictates the company needs to hire him, legislation and recruitment regulations are being re-written, to allow them easier entry into Fire and Police Departments, better chance to be highered for a government job (which are some of the best jobs you can have in the US, as they usually come with heath insurance and lots of other benefits, as well as good pay), etc. And of course, if they're losing an argument or have performance review or whatever come up, they can always resort to "Is it cuz I is/because I am Black?"...

 

The latter <deleted> especially, used to fly really well. But at least that has started to change. Who knows how long it will last though, when certain "professors" (of such grandious, scientifical classes as "gender studies" etc.) tell students that if they're White, they're automatically racist, even if it's just deep down, and stuff like that. That's the future leader generation of each country. Some eventually grow out of it, some never get sucked in (but stay silent, as to avoid getting shouted down etc.). People have no idea, about hte madness going on at many campuses, and how some of it has already started to affect private companies/the economy. There's been a recent study even, that many of these young people have become such snowflakes, and so offended over everything, that they cannot function anymore in a non-college environment.

 

I remember when I left the UK in 2006 (lived there for a couple of years), they had already started banning words like "black board", changed the lyrics from "baah baah black sheep" to "baah baah green sheep", and other such ridiculous stuff, I can only imagine how bad it is now. It's heading in the same, crazy direction in my ocuntry too, but we aren't that far ahead yet (ie you can't be forced to hire x people of colour Z for every Y people of colour A, which is ridiculous and nothing but reverse discrimination towards Y. You can't discriminate either, which is good, but no one will force you to hire someone based purely on their skin colour, rather than qualification and other relevant things)...

 

It's also why ultimately I didn't bother to reply to the rest of his post. It's a waste of my time, and I already waste enough, as it is, typing up this comment and responding to other indoctrinated fools, who believe into these lies, and who buy into the self-loathing the left and the Democrats are peddling.

I have...and it was really tough!

Obviously you focus on other things than the main part...where he bleeds on the ground and noone gives a hoot!

But please explain how he staged or enhanced his fall and what was the evil masterplan behind "spending a week (until now) in the ICU, fighting death"!

Could be that the guy was deliberately trying to confront the Police with the intention of becoming a victim of police brutality , *taking one for the team* as Brits say .

  He had been earlier seen trying to provoke the Police  and to cause unrest .

OK...first...

"He had been earlier seen trying to provoke the Police  and to cause unrest ."

I bet there are hours of video about that, right?!

Otherwise: how would you know?

By someone in your echo chamber telling you about it?

So please show me somethning...ANYTHING to support this claim!

Secondf: "...could be..."? 

Really? That is all you got?

I guess, his plan went really well then?!

A bit too well, since he is now in the ICU , in critical condition!

And third: <deleted> he is a 5 year old dude!

If any police- officer is not able to cope with the "threat" of a senior- citizen, then maybe, he should try to get a job as a security guard in a parking lot!

Yes, he is a well known ant theether activist and anti police , there is a video  of him hanging about the area in the daytime troublemaking. 

  There is a video doing the rounds of him in action , but I dont have a link to it

Media were doing their job filming police response, no need for the conspiracy allegation. The 75 year old did not reach for the police officer's gun. "Hit his head harder than anticipated" where do you source this nonsense - trump?

They were filming the old man, he invaded the police officers space. The push was intended to move old man on his way. It looked staged like old man was anticipating some sort of reaction.

A d when he was clearly seriously injured with blood pouring out of his ear, was the Police indifference to his need for urgent medical attention staged?

 

Away with you and your conspiracy nonsense.

I only know what I heard on the news, and it was explained Police protocol is for front line to not stop, there were people assigned in the rear for such events as old man.

I agree with the general sentiments of your post (and most other comments), but I  strongly disagree with this. I learned a long time ago, never to underestimate anyone, not "kids" and certainly not elderly men.

 

They might not be as fast as they once were, they might not have the endurance for prolonged fighting, but strenght is usually the last thing to go. Plenty of old men still strong enough to knock people out, or wrestle a weapon from someone. I can show you videos of a 60+ year old ex boxer (not a champ, just amateur) knocking out 4 or 5 young men starting <deleted> with him, and stuff like that. Of course not every old man is an ex boxer, but you never know. Some people have ridiculous punching power, even though they never trained. Same with some kids (especially those, who are already big in their early teens), ie Mike Tyson as a 12 year old (with 0 training at that point) was knocking out grown men with single punches, when robbing them (he also knocked over old ladies and stole their handbags...), because he weighed 200 lbs already (something just over 14 stone, if I remember the conversion correctly).

 

Not everybody can box like him, but there are plenty of guys out there (even skinny/lanky ones), who can hit hard.

 

That's why I also say, people shouldn't judge police shootings based on the "victim's" age. Ie Tamir Rice, who was really young (12 or younger, can't remember right now). However he did point a gun (toy gun, but looked real from a distance) at the police, and was shot when he didn't drop it after ordered to do so.

 

You might think "oh but where would such a young kid get a gun from". Which is why I keep telling people, their own country and their own country's police are nothing like policing in the US. He could have stolen it from his parents (which is on them, as they're responsible for stowing it safely), or - and in an area such as Tamir Rice's far more likely - he was given it by a gang member. Gang members in high crime areas often use kids as young as Tamir (some even younger) to hold drugs and guns for them, as they will receive far lower sentencing.

I think he "helped" himself fall, the whole thing looks hoakie. The cop was carrying the baton at waist level and this position and the very slight motion he exerted and very close proximity seems unlikely to cause this gezzer to "two-step" backwards in that fashion.

However, bleeding out of the ear may indicate a cracked head I believe. Notice how he was waving his mobile device near the cops radios, up to no good!

Words escape me. 

[nausea]

I'm not black. Difficult enough getting along as a working class, half-Irish, white guy. Not my fight, good luck to them though. Why people, usually white middle class snowflakes, feel obliged to adopt this fight that has nothing to do with them is beyond me.

it's down to who brings down whos statues first! 

 

When will this racism stop???

 - here is a pic of a unarmed black man being beaten by a white cop,

 - while another white cop looks on,

 - making no attempt to intervene.
