What’s your point? Fox is supposed to focus on the possible racism aspect of it because you say so? To me it makes sense to focus on the people who were just shot less than 24 hours ago, but it doesn't matter either way.


Interesting, I guess they should have showed it.


Wait, what? You just said they didn't show it. Maybe what you meant to say was they didn't show enough of it to meet your standards?

They did not RUN the press conference live like the other stations. They mentioned it and showed a clip later. That is what I meant. It just said TO ME, they have a different angle going, that is all. All of it is BS anyway. If you love to watch it, fine... I just thought it was interesting when I observed it. It's no biggie.

They're biased because they didn't run it live? That makes zero sense. I'm sure you could find better examples than that. I don't really have the time to watch it... I just thought it was interesting when I observed you obsession. It's no biggie. ;)

Fox, CNN and MSNBC ... The angle was different on Fox than it was for the other two. While they all reported both sides of the issue (cops/racism), Fox was more focused on the police and the other two were focused more on the racism aspect of it.

Well yes, that's because Fox is right leaning, and CNN and MSNBC are left leaning. They play to their viewers. Fox viewers want to be focused on how the police were wronged in this whole thing... and the CNN/MSNBC viewers want to be told about how everyone in the country is a racist and how hard blacks have it.

well good for you.... I thought we were talking about Dallas and I simply observed that I noticed that I could tell a bunch of you were obviously watching Fox news and then I posted a thing about Dallas that happened to be Fox and someone else got pissy about it but... okay, carry on then

We could be talking about rutabagas and you would observe some right wing problem with the board. Also, it is rather condescending to insinuate that someone's opinion or thoughts are shaped by what that person observes on TV. People don't tend to respond kindly to being told that they allow others to make up their minds.

Whether or not you knew your comment would be taken with some level of offense is debatable though. Situational awareness has not yet been shown to be a strong trait for you.

White vs black war is coming. Honestly cops may soon go on strike for one week nationwide and then we should check back in with BLM and see what they say about cops.

Seriously it wouldn't surprise me if very soon, police departments in big cities start adopting an official policy of not intervening when they see a black-on-black crime, or ignore any situation where a black person is in danger. Not out of racism, but instead to simply eliminate the risk of national news being made.

ETA: Yes, I know cops have wrongly killed people in the past and some are disgustingly trigger-happy, but black folks intentionally gunning down cops in the street will start a very swift retribution from white cops and, honestly, some of white America. And let me just say that black America might not like how swift that retribution and vengeance will be.
 
By the way, before anyone accuses me, I'm not *suggesting* anything. I'm merely giving my opinion of what, IMO, very well could happen. If blacks start assassinating cops with regularity, where does it end? How do you "police" that while still respecting civil liberties?

Look at current events the past month and tell me I'm wrong.

At a minimum, a cops vs. black "freedom fighters" could be coming. Black men shooting white cops in a non-police / non-arrest scenario is NOT good. That's a slippery slope to chaos.

It's pretty clear that there is a lot of unrest. There's probably going to be more killing, unfortunately. Our flags will probably always be at half-mast now. But, a race war between blacks and whites? No... I don't see that at all.

Two questions:

1). If this killing of cops continues like you admit it could, what do you think the cops' reaction is going to be? Do you think police departments will just accept each murder of their officers and say "damn that's a real shame" each time it happens?? Hell no, they won't. IMO, there's no way they just take it lying down. I don't know what they'll do, but they'll address it somehow, possibly with force.

2) If blacks keep targeting white police officers, how long does it take until they start targeting all white males and then just all white people? Sounds crazy and unbelievable, but there are plenty of examples of group think in history that show it is a very real possibility. And if that happens....it will be chaos.

I agree on the surface but if BLM keeps it up and Obama continues to have their back there will certainly be a fight back from whites at some point. This tired BS is really getting old.

That would be really ugly, but I can't imagine it would ever happen. The radicals in this situation are in the vast minority.

That being said, one radical can generate a lot of headlines, but I don't see it going further than it is now. ISIS in the US is a far greater threat.

I don't want to speak for the police everywhere (or anywhere, for that matter). So, I'm not sure what they will do individually or collectively. I hope they act rationally and try to keep the peace as best they can. Panicking and abandoning what they have sworn to do- protect and serve, etc.- would probably just make things worse.

At this point, I'm not sure why this upheaval is happening exactly. I was watching the film Suffragette and those women were committed to changing the situation that they saw themselves being oppressed by. They got peoples' attention for sure. I don't know what life is like to be a black person. I don't, personally, feel that violence and killing people is the way to bring about positive change, but I'm not involved in this directly. Maybe there is a much bigger problem than what I'm unaware that is really oppressing these people.

But, I don't believe that the majority of our population, racially, is at-odds. I don't see it where I live. I haven't experienced it personally. I'm polite and cordial to black people every time I see them. In fact, I find myself going to even greater lengths to extend a polite gesture wherever and whenever I encounter them.

I am polite and go to great lengths to be polite to all people especially seniors. If I come out of WM and/or any grocery store and a female or especially an older female or male(regardless of race) is unloading items , especially cases of water I always offer my assistance. I also make it a point to thank any vet recognizable by a hat , t-shirt etc. for his services. I don't care what anybody says it has become progressively worse since Obama took office.

What in the world does Obama have to do with if people are polite or not? I'd say that is something that comes from people's upbringing, not any president. He is not our moral leader. The president should not ever be what we base our behaviors on in any way. If that is true, then we are REALLY, really screwed morally if Trump wins! He acts like a damn 5-year-old who doesn't like sharing his toys and gets all pissy when he doesn't get his way on the playground.

you missed the point again. All the racial issues have been under Obama....The police acted stupidly.... If I had a son he would look like Travon.....siding against the police in Ferguson....etc , etc

Yeah but this racial issue has been going on long before he was ever a household name though. I've noticed more "closeted " racial issues since Trump has been speaking every day to large crowds though but we can't blame him either. People have always been this way. I don't see this I guess. We are all responsible for our own thoughts and actions. We need to all just own up to it and realize what we say and do is all on ourselves and stop blaming others. We have to BE whatever it is we want to see in others.
 
I swear Obama get blamed for everything that happens in this country. The last two shootings had nothing to do with Obama or the Black Lives Movement. Those two were merely part of our USA military. We need to start looking into our mental health program instead of our racial aspect of it. Also black people aren't going to mysteriously start shooing white people just for the hell of it. That would mean that I would have to shoot my wife and kids. All black people aren't the same and all whites people aren't the same. Evil and mental issues doesn't have a color.

I know man Obama started racial issues in the 60s also. Again if you blame the BLM movement or Obama for these shootings, then we have to blame the KKK for police shooting black men and kids. It just doesn't make sense to say either.

I know you're referring to the aftermath of Katrina but believe me IF that had happened on Obama's watch, these dummies would be blaming Obama for the hurricane itself and for not stirring it down to Mexico!! smh
