The difference between this and BLM is that police shooters involved in the particular incidents tend to be white (or at least not black). If most policemen were black, the race issue would be less pronounced. Presumably, a majority of police are not female.
I think that BLM is a divisive, counterproductive organization, but that’s another thing.
^ But several of the shootings (including the Charlotte one) involved black officers.
It also points out a common fallacy in the BLM argument. Specifically that the higher rate of black males shot by police per capita is not explained by the higher propensity of violent crime in that subset of the population because according to their stance the two factors have no correlation. If you accept that statement as true, then it becomes exceedingly difficult to rationalize why 50% of the population constitutes 95% of police shooting victims.
“The decision of the BLM advisory board to recommend the destruction of the 45,000 wild horses currently in holding facilities is a complete abdication of responsibility for their care. The agency would not be in this situation but for their long-term mis-management. Alternatives to this proposal have been ignored for over 20 years. The HSUS stands ready to implement these alternatives at any time.”
One thing I recall from a cursory reading of “The Bell Curve” (Bchad’s fave):
Men and women have about the same average intelligence. However, men’s standard deviation is higher than women’s. Therefore, you see a lot of extremely smart men and extremely dumb men.
Extremely smart men are economists, math PhDs, physicists, etc. Extremely dumb men are violent criminals who get shot by cops.
That’s why women tend to not get shot by cops. They’re not quite as stupid.
Perhaps not stupid, but one stereotype I’ll set my watch and warrant to is that black women are way angrier, more volatile, and irrational than black men. For that reason, I’d have to believe the fact they don’t get shot more often is because officers don’t feel their lives are in peril when dealing with an angry black woman. A calm, non-compliant black man - on the other hand - could be a very real threat.
As mentioned in the other thread, it’s not “law enforcement” it is “authority enforcement”, which is a male thing. American police are murdering males to prove their alpha (authority). The murders will continue even if homo sapien males put up ZERO resistance.
" Toxic masculinity is one of the ways in which Patriarchy is harmful to men. It refers to the socially-constructed attitudes that describe the masculine gender role as violent, unemotional, sexually aggressive, and so forth.
A well-known masculinity/men’s rights movement that is not mostly anti-feminist has yet to appear. For a silencing tactic used to discredit patriarchy’s harm to people who are not men, see Patriarchy hurts men too."
LOL you live? Wasn’t sure you survived Palantir’s ruthless attack.
Why would I not believe my own analyses? I totally nailed it, you guys have no analysis that comes close. Male police do not gain alpha from murdering women, even though women also resist their authority. Use reasoning, you will find mine is flawless.
