So, in the context of this thread, help me unpack the statistic for how the rate of death by police among African Americans has remained unchanged for the past 5 years. Yes, you are more likely to be killed by police if black, and most likely if a black woman. But the rate of that likelihood from Obama forward is basically stagnant. And this during 4 years of what was (in spite of Trump passing a primary BLM want with criminal justice reform) supposed to a racist policy administration. How was Trump unable to increase violence against minorities?
Also, please unpack all this againt the reality that regardless of color or sex, 90%-95% of civilians shot by police (yes, i know this is not the only cause of deaths) were attacking the officer(s) when shot..
Why no sourcing on your stats? Afraid to post a Brietbart link?

I'm sure you're alluding to those 100% trustworthy police reports which never falsely claim they were resisting arrest.
Kewl that you get to decide when making claims without evidence is acceptable. So, can we just claim all statistics are based on lying respondents ? or do we just do that when stat is contrary to our well entrenched presuppositions?
If you need to take time to contact Mr. Soros for your answer I can wait.

Fixed it for you
No, you are missing the point that the police have created a national situation for us with their bad behavior.

No you're refusing to admit that both their is blame to go around on both sides of this. But that's ok. I'm kind of happy to see the orders tying the policeman's hands. The assaults upon people and property that will ensue will force more white people to confront the reality on the street that doesn't fit the media narrative.

So, when the boogaloo kicks off how many Liberals and minorities are you hoping to notch on your butt stock?

None I hope. Just moving to a rural area where people are armed should be a deterrent enough. It's tough for me not to have the access to things I like in city life but this article has made me seriously rethink this.

Nolte: Your Handy-Dandy Survival Guide to Life Under Social Justice Mob Rule

Things are about to change. Don’t worry: it won’t last forever. These things never do. It’s a phase, and if you fly over it at 30,000 feet, what you will see is that all this social justice-systemic racism-defund the police nonsense comes down to one thing… The Democrat Party is returning to its soft-on-crime roots, and in the end, this will not end well for Democrats.

Unfortunately, it’s going to take a while for voters to come to their senses. Things are going to get worse before they get better — thankfully, this worsening will be contained in Democrat-run cities.

Nevertheless, the radical left is now emboldened and have the Democrat Party, academia, the media, countless district attorney offices, the government bureaucracy, corporate America, and Hollywood on the run… So until things get better (and I promise things will get better), here’s my handy-dandy guide to surviving the coming era of social justice mob rule…

Get the Hell Out of Democrat-Run Cities
This isn’t an easy one to accomplish. I know because I’ve done it twice already. But you have to get out. The Democrats that run these cities did not only stand by as their cities were burned and looted, as predominantly black neighborhoods were burned and looted by predominantly white, left-wing terrorist groups like Antifa — these Democrats encouraged and continue to encourage burning and looting.
I’m sorry, but the cities are lost to us now, and will be for years…

When Democrats are releasing violent criminals, encouraging illegal immigration, and passing laws to disarm you while turning the police into eunuchs, it’s over… Minneapolis is preparing to disband the police. Los Angeles just slashed police funding. New York is gearing up to slash police funding. I’m telling you, it’s over…

So you have to get out now, especially if you own property because that property is about to become worthless.

This is not hyperbole. This is history repeating itself. The gangs and cartels are about to take over your city. Welcome back to the urban blight of the 1970s.
Now… If you’re a Democrat, you need to stay put. We don’t need you voting to Californicate the rest of the country.

Move to Rural America

You can try moving to the suburbs, I guess… But as your nearest Democrat-run city descends into hell, your taxes will explode. Plus, you’ll be funding rotting schools, potholes, corrupt Democrat political machines, and self-destructive social justice programs.

Also, eventually, the blight moves outside the cities and into surrounding areas. Let me put it this way… If you do move to the suburbs, be prepared to move again the moment you see graffiti. Graffiti is always the beginning of the end.

The reason I recommend Rural America is because Democrats hate Rural America. They want their foofoo theaters and their foofoo cafes and their foofoo nightclubs. Rural America is Red America… I love it out here. Calm, peaceful, serene… Not a single drop of this social justice madness has touched my community.
To those of us out here in Rural America, all this mayhem is just a reality TV show we like to call Toldjaso!

Prepare to Home School
If you can afford private school, great. If the public schools in your area are not yet polluted with social justice propaganda, great. But you must be prepared to home school because with the left emboldened and almost entirely in charge of academia, the last thing public schools will be teaching is reading, writing, and arithmetic.

You need to keep a close eye on what your school is teaching because the left only wants to teach your kids to engage in loveless sex, the sanctity of abortion, why America is evil, that men are women and women are men, and that Global Warming is real. (It’s not.) Be prepared to home school.

Buy Guns and Plenty of Ammo
This is not a troll. This is not an attempt to be inflammatory. There’s only one reason the left-wing terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter always-always-always focused their marauding in left-wing cities: they know the populace is defenseless.
These terrorists also know that once they move out into the suburbs, people are more likely to own guns. And they damn well know Rural America is armed to the teeth, so they will never come out here. Firearms are not only necessary for self-defense and for you to honor your primary responsibility in life, which is to protect your family and property; they’re an excellent deterrent. I own four firearms. Two are within reach of my bed. Peace of mind, baby. It’s time to arm yourself. I would also recommend obtaining a conceal carry permit.

Cancel Your Cable TV
Cable news is poison. Hollywood’s idea of entertainment today is either pushing sex on your children or straight-up propaganda. Why are you paying to pump this garbage into your home? What, you like paying $125 a month to have CNNLOL deliberately misinform you and then call you racist, to have MTV glorify degeneracy?

There are all kinds of streaming options out there, many of them free. You’ll save money, protect your kids, and best of all, push CNNLOL, MSNBC, and the rest one step closer to history’s dustbin. I’ve written extensively on this. Please click here, here, and here — okay, that last click is to celebrate the weekend.

Keep Hard Copies of Your Favorite Books, Movies, and TV Shows
Six years ago, almost to the day, I was roundly laughed at for warning people to hold on to their hard copies of Blazing Saddles and Gone with the Wind. You see, I’ve been around long enough to have learned one very important lesson about the left: no matter how outrageous the idea might sound at the time, the left — with the help of its media machine — will eventually mainstream that idea. Hey, we went from zero to gay marriage in ten years. We went from zero to drag queen story hour in ten seconds. So when America’s leftists began to complain about classic films and television shows that are “problematic,” I knew it was only a matter of time… Well, the time has come.

Already, and even though he is innocent of the allegation, Woody Allen — one of our greatest living filmmakers — had his latest film blacklisted, along with his career. The Walt Disney Company has blacklisted its own Song of the South. The creator of The Simpsons has blacklisted an episode of his own show. The Library Journal published an article calling for a ban on books guilty of “whiteness,” whatever the hell that is. The Little House books are being burned.

And now the blacklisting push is ramping up….
Just this week, the far-left Washington Post demanded an immediate and total shutdown of all police movies and TV shows.
Legos is already blacklisting its own toys.

Let me tell you exactly how this is going to work…

The fascist mob is going to declare certain toys, books, movies, and television shows “problematic,” and these corporations, that are either cowardly or infested with social justice warriors, are going to disappear these things. “Problematic” books, movies, and TV shows will vanish off proverbial store shelves — physical and digital.

Another possibility is that they will be mutilated by censors. “Problematic” scenes, moments, characters, and words will be removed.

A couple of years ago, I decided to move my movie collection to digital. But after The Simpsons self-blacklister announced that digital copies would be scrubbed of the “problematic” episode, that even if you purchased the episode digitally, they were going to go in and remove it, I’ve gotten smarter. Even if I already have a digital copy, I went back and purchased hard copies of movies and TV shows that are wonderfully “problematic.”
Let me tell you right now, if you don’t own hard copies of Manhattan (and probably all of Woody Allen’s movies), Married with Children, Gone with the Wind, and pretty much every one of Normal Lear’s 1970’s sitcoms (All in the Family, Sanford & Son, etc.), you will eventually lose them.
Same with “problematic” books. Amazon will remove them from your Kindle.

Stock Up on Food and Water
The left-wing Antifa and Black Lives Matter terrorists will probably try to attack the suburbs and Rural America in an indirect way — going after power stations and the like. And if things get bad enough in the cities, we might see supply chains interrupted, so be prepared.

Listen, out here in Rural America, we’re going to be just fine. Don’t be stressed. Don’t live in fear — just be prepared. Being prepared is a great way to relieve anxiety.

Overall, and as I said earlier, the left is eating its own. Let them fight. Enjoy the show. It’s a total waste of time to try and care about people more than they care about themselves. Democrats are getting the blue on blue violence they voted for. It’s not your problem. It’s not my problem.
While Blue America reaps the whirlwind, the rest of us should clean our guns, grill meat, and enjoy Al Bundy taunting fat women.

Wow, do you really believe that or is that just hope creeping into the objective reality you strive for? I guess that's your perspective. Reality is perception.

I figured you would like rural living since you can work online? Lower rent, less traffic, and even if you hate conservatives there aren't that many of them even where they are a majority.

That's like where we live. I'd venture a guess that 90% of my town is armed. We have slow response times from law enforcement, houses are spread far apart compared to in town, people with livestock, and you pretty much have to prepare to fend for yourself though I'd guess that quite a few residents have security alarm systems as well.

The thing is though is that in a rural area with no street lights (we don't have those either) if you turn your house lights off at night--you can't see the house at all. So good luck to anyone attempting to try to come up on the property. They'll be met by a country alarm system that doesn't quit (country dogs barking like crazy) and won't know where in the heck they are going or where or if there's a way off the property whereas we know every inch of the property even in the dark.

Living here for so long, we've had to think about those types of things and being essentially self sufficient in terms of possible intruders and weather preparedness. And we are.

You can still enjoy city life if you want. You just have to drive to get it. I much prefer living out in the sticks where people tend to keep to themselves, value their privacy, peace, and tranquility, but will come out of the woodwork to help a neighbor that needs it. Example, if you run off the road during a snow storm here, cars will begin piling up with people willing and able to help yank you out of a ditch. ;-)

We live in a world of chain saws, snow plows, tow straps, and back up generators at high altitude under the trees, and we freaking love it.

You assume good wifi signal in rural areas and you'd be wrong. :lol:
