Subj : Re: Floyd To : Gregory Deyss From : Dale Shipp Date : Thu Aug 06 2020 02:17 am -=> On 08-05-20 10:55, Gregory Deyss <=- -=> spoke to Dale Shipp about Re: Floyd <=- GD> 1441 more whites died then 778 black in last 4 years DS> DS> Not the point. GD> It is the point because of BLM they continie to get it very wrong they GD> have been indicating this misinformation about the topic, they often GD> say that more blacks are killed than whites, that is NOT the truth. The point was and is that blacks are killed by police at a higher rate than whites. Stop trying to deflect to other arguements if you cannot address that point. DS> Duh -- the quote is explicit that it about shootings of blacks by police DS> officers -- why are you trying to muddy the water? GD> Nope just the facts Dale and those facts prove that more whites are GD> killed by police, not the vise versa. Which shoots (sorry for the pun) GD> holes in this narrative that more blacks are killed then whites. See above. GD> What about Chicago? They have the strictest gun laws in the U.S. Yet GD> people are still killing each other by the many hundreds every weekend GD> on the Southside of Chicago. See above. DS> With good reason, perhaps because England has stricter gun control laws. DS> Also due to the fact that most British police do not even carry guns -- DS> they don't feed the need to do so. GD> Then someone with a gun means w/ bad intentions will slaughter the GD> copper in England . Does not happen nearly as often as it does in the USA. But, once again see above. GD> There is another video that I have seen that shows exactly what I GD> previously stated that Brooks fired the tazer as he was running away GD> from cops. GD> Here ya go GD> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5QEnGkIbzA It was fired wildly from a considerable distance and was no danger to anyone. GD> Says a lot. GD> Firing a taser "IS" a deadly weapon according the District Attorney of GD> Georgia as was found to be the case when different cops used a taser on It depends. If it were always a deadly weapon, then why bother using it instead of a gun? It is only a deadly weapon in some situations -- and this was not one of them. GD> The video also explains why Brooks ran, he had a criminal record and GD> if arrested would of been jailed. I did not see or hear that in the video -- show me the time spot where it occured. Nor does it explain why running was justification for using deadly force, especially when the police had all the information they might need to apprehend Brooks later on.
