Any conversation about race should include the observation that 17% of the population of Charlotte is suspected of having committed 68% of the homicides.
It's almost like people are acting like a violent pieces of shit, and than hiding behind "that's racist!" when they get called out for their bad behavior.

Exactly and when you look at the crime stats of the overall country the situation doesn't get much better. When you commit violent crime at such a highly disproportionate rate of COURSE you're going to die at a highly disproportionate rate at the hands of police officers.
Some people are insane and will call you a racist for pointing that out. Or they will even suggest you feel all these people deserve to die merely for pointing out the obvious. This is like if I point out that you're more likely to die from a bicycle accident if you aren't wearing a helmet and then someone responds with "so people who don't wear helmets deserve to die?".

My problem with this is, what does it have to do with cops killing unarmed civilians and civilians killing cops? I mean great, we have this little statistic now. So?
It has nothing to do with the specific incidents and more to do with the rhetoric and reactions these incidents can inspire.
Whenever things like this happen people tend to behave as if they happen because cops hate black people. Which when you play that narrative out..it leads to people going out and killing cops..just to kill a cop.

No one is claiming that. The issue is that they are a danger to innocent people at all.
Maybe nobody on this forum, but I have indeed seen this mentality where some act as if what is tearing apart these communities is the police brutality.
Are they a danger to innocent people? You see that is a loaded question due to the climate of today. I want to say no, I want to say they aren't usually a danger to law abiding citizens. But if I say that..some will take it to think I am saying this means I feel anyone who breaks the law has earned a death sentence.

Guys, pretty sure Adam was making a statement and not asking a question, loaded or otherwise.
Right. The post I was responding to is a variation of "What about black-on-black crime?" As if until the problem of black-on-black crime is solved, we should not care or doing anything about police killing innocent people.

Ok. So we should care and do something about police killing innocent people. Great! We do. How about angry lone wolfs gunning down police officers? Haven't heard you mention that.

also not one word about infant mortality rate in africa, nothing about animal abuse, not a goddamn peep concerning child rape. i guess that means he doesnt care about those either. adam poe is a monster.

Except nobody said that at all.
Police brutality isn't the biggest threat to the community. To say "nobody says this" is completely dishonest unless you specifically just meant nobody in this thread has said it. To point out the largest issues doesn't mean to say don't worry about this one issue until this larger one is fixed. The intent is to essentially say "stop acting like this is the biggest threat". Which again: plenty in the community DO behave that way.
We should care about police killing innocent people. We should also care about this disturbing trend of criminals who apparently feel they don't need to obey reasonable commands by law enforcement officers.

Missed the point again have we? If you're going to mention all those innocent lives taken by police officers, at least try to mention all the officers getting gunned down because, you know, they're like connected or something 👆

I can't help but find it strange that the only time we see the black community loot and burn over black on black crime is when they mistakenly believe a white on black crime has been committed.
Remember, if it doesn't fit into someone's specific narrative, it didn't happen.
