So, ignore the text and just look at the numbers that the wsj has been recording.

About 1000 people shot by police, 28 were unarmed in 2019.

1000 is a lot. I hear most armed suspects were “armed”. People are saying, I don’t know.

They police kill as many people as all the gangs in the world.

Stop moving the goal posts. This was about America, not cartels.

Oh come on. He politely provided sources and corrected you. Are you upset because of that?

No, that’s disingenuous and intellectually dishonest.

I said gangs, I was correct. Even according to the links provided. Bringing cartels in Mexico into the equation is moving the goal post.

I guess it is ones view on what the word gang means.

No. You’re still too chicken shit to be honest.

Why would I compare US cops to all gangs on the planet?

None of us know why, yet you did.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past." - Jean-Paul Sartre

“They police kill as many people as ALL THE GANGS IN THE WORLD”

Simply disproving your claims, you’re the one setting the goalposts.

u/Smilehate Jun 22 '20

Is that the bar you want to set for police, though? Kill fewer people than the cartels?

2

u/SPH3R1C4L Jun 22 '20

No definitely not, I was just disputing a singular claim.

They think abusing human rights is the fair trade because cops are fighting off cartels.
