Allow me to speak for the "and co." part:

No matter how stupid those two idiots were to parade around a predominantly black area waving a confederate era flag, it was wrong for them to have been dragged out of their car by armed men, and then shot.

There you go, Babes.

Its not a confederate flag. Its puerto rico. It was a puerto rico parade day or something... like the dem dude in twitter saying its fine to drag em out of cars and kill them, leftists see it on every corner and under their beds along with the white supremacists and nazis

If you want an honest answer to your question you need to be prepared to get into the data and the history. Yes, blacks commit more crime due to poverty, but even controlling for that, the data show that police disproportionately target them as a group. It's undeniable. Racial bias is ingrained at every level of the police forces.

Class and Racial Inequalities in Police Killings

Both race and class play a big role in police killings.

Overall, Feldman’s research confirms what many already know about criminal justice and specifically police killings in the US. There are large class disparities in police killings, both overall and within each racial group. Likewise, there are large racial disparities in police killings, both overall and within each class group.

I had a look at these articles. The first specifically states that they did not find racial bias in police shooting patterns. The second attempts to measure socioeconomic status by the location of the police shooting, not the area of residence of the decedent, which I find to be a poor measure of socioeconomic status. It's still not clear to me that discrepancies between the races are due to racism. In fact, the second study shows that latinos are less likely to be shot than whites.

Anyway, I'll look at the studies that Orbitaldawn has posted too.

:ROFL:

There's been quite a few videos popping up on youtube (& their local tv news) the last few days of people driving around with flags out their cars for national puerto rican day parade, are these people still stupid? You seem to have the same problem as ol' lesufi when it comes to flags...

The South African who basically started Qanon has written a book, explaining his journey through Qanon.

Just a correction here: no-one knows who QAnon is, there are only speculative guesses - see the documentary Q: Into the Storm. Also IIRC, Paul wants nothing to do with QAnon. I think he was actually kicked off 8chan or handed it off to somebody else.

True.

Most people speculate that Furber kick started the whole movement and posted some of the original drops.
