    The far right's race war fantasies are about selling bunker supplies and ammo to an audience kept in perpetual terror. You should also recognize that strategy -- it's a classic PsyOp.
    Never heard of a live stream, have you? Mission statements can also be construed as propaganda. Watch a rally from a third-party Ustream reporter, uncut, unedited, right as it happens. You'll learn a hell of a lot more than the hogwash you're trying to feed.

It's an unfortunate segregation of communities by race, but for the time being it looks to be the best solution. Minneapolis has been pushing for this for a long time now, but the MPD has stated repeatedly that they receive very few qualified applicants from the black community. While that's where the comments from MPD end, it's likely a factor of the failing schools, which is likely rooted in poverty, which, in turn, creates difficulty in getting the necessary education so the black community can produce enough qualified applicants to then be hired by the MPD - the payoff is too much in the long-term and families' economic needs are far too immediate. Local departments have had some better luck with the Hmong population, which is a significant size in St. Paul, more than Minneapolis. Actually, the last time I got pulled over was by a Hmong officer with the state patrol.
        It would take a generation -- at least -- for this to have a positive impact. Right now too many black people see a black cop as a traitor to the cause or their race. They see blue, not black.

        Something I wish would come to pass is a more liberal adoption of the BLM movement by whites, and a more welcoming BLM movement opening their arms to white support. Evidence is showing reluctance in many pockets of America to this. Both sides are to blame. Our society is too full of people who will no longer listen to or even see the "other" side. The civil rights movement in the 1960s was far more diverse than it is now. Yes, led by people who were tired of being oppressed but, IMO, far more welcoming of any allies, no matter the community they came from. For us to make progress at the pace we did decades ago, this has to happen again and until it does we will continue to see things pretty much as they are today.

            Why don't I ever get pulled over*? I would really like to pay off my house.

                        So, guy has a stolen gun, doesn't do what the police ask him to, gets shot. And the solution is to burn down Milwaukee? Disgusting.

                        Note: I don't wish the deceased dead, BUT, he made some bad decisions that had bad results. Sickened by the reaction to the officers/medical personnel. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

                                From people I know in Milwaukee this shooting, while causing similar unrest as other well-known recent police killings of black men, is different in a number of important ways. One, the cop who shot him is also black, so the racial aspects have to be looked at very carefully. Racism is probably not a factor as we might normally think. Two, the dead suspect clearly was armed with a loaded semi-auto handgun that was stolen (along with hundreds of rounds of ammo). Three, he was charged within the last year in a shooting and separately charged with trying to intimidate a witness in that shooting. I believe that the cops involved in this (at least some of them) knew who this guy was and knew of his gun crimes.

                                Anybody who has read my blather in this or similar threads knows I don't hold law enforcement in the highest regard in 2016, but this shooting looks to me (albeit with the limited knowledge I and all of you have) like it was probably unavoidable given the circumstances and due almost entirely to the behavior of the victim. While still tragic, it looks like this one is not criminal.
