You're an idiot.

Look at actual data on the amount of people, by race, shot & killed every year by police. Then look at the amount of run-ins each racial group has. The narrative collapses immediately. It's comical at this point how mislead and uninformed the public is. 13% of the population commits 54% of the violent crime in the US.

Very true. Same people who were fooled sky was falling with covid are also fooled by the fake narrative that only blacks are killed by police. Not the smartest people in here. Have looked like fools for months. New topic to look like fools on.

Eerily silent on all these thugs spreading covid. Media doesn’t care about covid anymore so they don’t.

They should be beaten with 2x4's.

That said, Fox is and has been a big part of the problem as they not only enable a president who enables racism and bigotry, they glorify him and everything he espouses.

@ me all you want, but that's the truth.

Number of people shot to death by the police in the United States from 2017 to 2020, by race

2017 2018 2019 2020*
White 457 399 370 42
Black 223 209 235 31
Hispanic 179 148 158 13
Other 44 36 39 3
Unknown 84 204 202 139


For Gerbe who lives in a fantasy land and gets easily manipulated by the media.

Almost double the number of white people killed by cops over blacks. Despite blacks committing the majority of VIOLENT crime each year. Also on the FBI website

- Alex the Great


Ut-oh.. those damn facts again.

Wait until they see 90% of interracial crime is black on white.. that really (frank)s up the "muh racism & white supremacy" narrative.

Ben Shelley mentioned in his comments that he thinks Zegras' rise may further push Henrique out the door and that a swap for Ristolainen would help them on their right side.

Henrique/Ristolainen, would you do it?

- Michael Ghofrani


Saw a while back that Henrique was chilling with Montour during the covid. Smoke meet fire. Not sure that is the answer but better than status quo

Homie I respect you.

But here’s a thing from small town Ontario. Our local St. Thomas police post every few days on Facebook about the local scum that cause crime soooooo much they feel the need to embarrass them. I mean like shop lifting or drug crimes like everyday. For some reason, the criminals are booked, released, and do it again the next day. Ps they are ALL white. E

There is nothing that would lead me to believe that they wouldn’t go to Walmart and steal during the middle of a riot because they steal everyday. From Walmart. Everyday, without a riot, they steal.

The problem I see with your way of looking at it is that there are a) peaceful protesters, b) habitual criminals that steal everyday c) provocateurs (white and black- see the police man with the umbrella video smashing windows at the auto parts store in Minnesota) d) general idiots.

I would say that you can’t lump the peaceful protesters with the common criminal types. They might be black, but all the criminals in my town are white. I mean the ones that can’t be helped and are so hopelessly addicted to drugs that the cops get fed up with the in and out wheels of justice that they publicly release their names and pictures every week.
Surely as an educated man you can make that distinction???

I get that you hate crime and breaking of order. We all do. But enough with the “thugs” crap because we all k ow what “thugs” means.

Some questions:

- Rakell played RW last year according to the CapFriendly Depth Chart? Is he still a Center?
- You're bringing back both Girgensons and Larsson? That could be a $10M 4th line, if not more
- I'm assuming Galchenyuk is a buy low UFA candidate?
- No Cozens on the roster next year? Would you send him back to Juniors?
- If Dillon is an LHD, and you've traded 2 of the 4 RHD, who of the LHD (Dahlin, Dillon, McCabe, Pilut)will be playing their off side on defense?
- Or are you bringing in or calling up an RHD to be the 3rd pair RHD?

Facts don’t lie. Double the amount of white people get killed by cops. Facts don’t lie 🤷‍♂️
- Alex the Great


74% of America is white

13% black

So if "only" twice the amount of white people are killed, that's disproportionate. Statistically it "should" be 5x, not 2x

most, not all of the destruction and looting occurs at night

the only solution w/o violence IMO is to have curfew at 8pm, and enforce it

all these protests are peaceful during the day, and they have every right for peaceful protest


if they are on the streets after curfew, shoot them with rubber pellets and throw the tear gas

if they are looting at night, shoot them with real bullets


only way it will stop

my two cents

considering more crimes are committed by black people, the numbers support what alex was saying


side note, these people get all crazy over one dumb cop killing a black man, yet nothing over the hundreds of black people killing other blacks on a nightly basis

That's not accurate. We have the Buffalo Peacemakers here that do great work.

Fwiw, I dont really see this as a race issue. What we're seeing is a reaction to inequality in all forms.. Poverty is the root cause of violence and crime, and black people face higher levels of poverty. Making a difference in economic inequality is the way out of this. How to do that? No idea, that's above my pay grade

some call it poverty, others call it lack of drive

once on welfare, easier to stay on it then get off and they have it better then many people living paycheck to paycheck IMO

What does the bolded mean?

I sure hope you don't think all people who are working poor (a lot) are in that condition due to lack of drive.

- jcragcrumple



Nope. Blacks are 13% of the population but commit 51% of murders and violent crime in America. When you go by violent crime (calls that are more likely to be met with use of force) they are actually under represented in police killings.

Not to mention the numerous studies that minority cops shoot people at far higher rates then white cops

Youre moving the goalposts

https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793

Here's an academic study that shows risk of being killed broken down by race. If you want to attribute that to violent crime percentage, i can understand that argument to some degree. But that doesn't factor in the underlying economic disparity that leads to violence. These issues are inextricably linked. Poverty, race, violence and incarceration. Thats the point I was trying to articulate to Homie.

There's broad anger about inequality in this country. This issue is a symptom of that anger
