Can you come up with a number for this incredible amount of black people murdered with no justice?
I can think of three.


Bruh, I can name 3 that have happened within the past 2 weeks and that have been centered in many protests.

George Floyd.
Breonna Taylor.
Tony McDade.

Don't make me do your homework for you. Don't make claims implying a lack of examples when you've done no searching on your own.

Sounds like a really dumb take.

The riots aren't over the death of one person, they're over the consistent pattern of abuse and death.


Two deaths in five years isnt a pattern.

I only ever heard what an uncle tom she is, she seems more like MLK to me, a champion for the black community.


Anyone that isnt a woke Bernie Sanders clone is a radical nazi that people are afraid to associate with nowadays

tbf there are way more deaths than 2 in 5 years.
The 2 violent criminals happen to be the face of the movement.

George floyd case has not even been to court yet, wtf?

Direct quote from tony mcdade:

"Just know before I kill myself through a shootout, because that's what's going to happen, because I'm [going to] pull it out and you know these officers nowadays they see a gun they just [going to] shoot....So that's what I'm pushing for, because I don't want to be here on earth dealing with the government.”

— Tony McDade, Facebook Live Video

This one also hasn't seen a court room.

Looking up the last one now.

I'd also estimate that as another 10% being 'unjustified' at most out of the unarmed ones. So maybe 1-2. Actually might be on the high side since the cases are so few over the past 10 years it might not add up to 10-20

but at any rate, candace's best statistic was the one about the likelihood of an unarmed black man being killed by police vs odds of police being killed by a black man


Yeah for sure.

This is why I could never support BLM. It's all propaganda.

Plus, they also destroy innocent police officers lives by running with narratives (ex: Michael Brown incident and destroying Derrick Wilson's life). Those guys get doxxed, fired from their job, no other departments will hire them, and receive infinite death threats.

Seems like a great business practice. Destroy one guys life, collect profits. Rinse/repeat.

Didnt the initial report on the George Floyd case state that he died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital or something like that? In other words: his murder would have slipped through if it hadnt been caught on video.


- Floyd's death is not excused or justified by his past criminal behavior
- but due to his criminal history, he totally shouldnt be gloried or used as the symbol for a movement trying to induce positive change
- there definitely is a problem with racism and brutality among the police force
- the protesters are blowing the extent of the systemic racism out of proportion
- some of you here in this thread are downplaying the prevalance of unjustified police violence against blacks

Pretending like only 1-2 such cases occur per year is ridiculous. Those are only the cases that became public and made it into official statistics. The dark figure can be expected to be magnitudes higher on a topic like this one.

Where are people even getting this idea that George Floyd is being heralded as some shining beacon and representative of the Black community outside of the narrative that George Floyd is one of the current in a long list of Black people killed by police, often with little to no consequences.

Breonna Taylor's isn't confirmed. Being caught in crossfire also doesn't mean that officer was necessarily in the wrong if does turn out to be the case.

I question how much people actually know about any of these stories.

The story of that doing a no-knock warrant at the wrong house sounds like pure insanity after hearing an officers take on it.

That takes a lot of pre-delegated legal justification. Versus performing a knock warrant. They can't just show up to a house one time and randomly do it. It takes a lot of other steps to get to that point.

Looked up your third example Breonna Taylor
Has not been to court yet, being investigated by the fbi.
So 3 examples of black people murdered without justice = three cases with charges laid and no court date yet.
Thats the best three examples you can give?
One was clear suicide by cop, one was murder by negligence and one was murder by dumb laws (no knock warrant) none of them could possibly seen justice yet because they are all recent.
