Did I say there has been a big increase?
I don't think many of the protesters are claiming that either...
The problem is that IT IS HAPPENING...
Yes, things used to be much worse - hell- lynchings used to be quite common...
Get this through your thick skull, TB: "THINGS USED TO BE MUCH WORSE" IS NOT A VALID REFUTATION OF THE STATEMENT OF FACT "THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WE COULD DO BETTER"
Cut it out, it makes you appear as nothing more than a parody of a partisan hack.
For example, without that viral video, would anybody outside of Chicago ever have heard of this shooting?
Probably not, and that should make you think... if it happens this regularly in front of cameras how often does it happen overall?
How many of the 'he had a gun' cases are essentially the South Carolina shooting, without the video?
