“Young black men have a very different experience with law enforcement in this nation than white people, and that’s their impression and experience and we need to be sensitive to that and do all we can to change it,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told his GOP colleagues yesterday
There are many other examples, there iare growing international protest movements happening
My buddy and I were once stopped by detectives that claims our car fit the description of fleeing suspects responsible for some robberies in the neighborhood. We were stopped 3 houses from my home. One detective was black, while the other one was white. My buddy and I both were 19, coming back from our jobs. We spoke to the officers calmly, we didn’t yell and scream racist. They ask us for our Id’s, and I even pointed to my house. They spoke to us for about 10 minutes, and we were on our way.
I wrote that example for one reason and one reason alone. Not every cop that stops you wants to shoot you, put you in jail because they are racist. Yes, there are racist cops, but that number is minuscule compared to the majority of officers that are legitimately good people.
Another problem young black men are facing are the lack of father figures in the household. 60 to 70 percent of black households is with out a father. A father figure is paramount in raising a good young man, black or other wise.
At the end of the day, there comes a time when you need to look in the mirror and assume personal responsibility for your action. I just saw a story where this rioter jump this guy even after the guy told him he had a guy. He died, not because he was black, but because he was stupid and lack personal responsibility.
The day young black men start taking responsibility for themselves, and stop blaming racist for everything wrong in their lives, they will rule any fields they put their minds and efforts into.

Your response is so off base and NOT on point. I'm at work right now, and I have a 10:30 to finish prepping for but I will retort later today when I have time to do so properly.
My wife read you post Squall and sent it to her family in Wisconsin. They stated they all have experiences of racism and wondered why a black man might dismiss the concept of external racism. They asked if we had any evidence you were black. I replied I had never seen a picture of you but on forums you try and take people at face value. They said you had faceless value...
Your snide aside, his past crimes do not give the police the right to be judge, jury and executioner. Their job was to arrest and process him to the courts.
But you just did...
In regards to Taylor, at least some legal good seems to be coming out of her murder.

His past crimes *do* make it so he should not be praised as a hero or martyr though

And nothing you said changes the fact he should not be treated as a hero or martyr. Good talk

You didn't read my post. A violent, multi-decade, career criminal, with fentanyl and meth in his blood, was unjustly killed by police when being arrested for committing a crime.
Had he not be high and trying to use counterfeit money, he may not have died that day but he would have died soon with those kinds of health problems and drug use. His choices led to a terrible outcome. Multiple decades of terrible choices.
When you commit a crime and get caught, your chances of death skyrocket. When you do meth, your chances of death skyrocket. When you do fentanyl, your chances of death skyrocket.
George Floyd was shitty human being making terrible choices. He's the wrong person to prop-up.
In regards to Breonna Taylor, none of these things apply to her. And her boyfriend had every right to defend himself and his GF from the tyrannical police.
