    It's not rare, there's reasons to believe there's several times more police brutality than what is reported. However even if it really was rare, don't forget the phrase "One bad apple spoils the bunch."

      Does that phrase also apply to "peaceful" protests?

        Jim of course there is a disparity with blacks, they have the highest crime rates in the country so there is more opportunity for things to go wrong. And whites are much more likely to have bad interactions with cops, or killed by cops, than Asians. Is that a racial thing?

          Two points Leonhard, first, most of these cases we are seeing are happening in cities run by liberals. Point two, we have good policing rules, but we can't prevent all possible violations.

            They have the highest crime rates for the same reason that whites living in poverty have higher crime rates than whites not living in poverty. But we're talking about the disparity in the treatment of blacks by police, and by the justice system in general, compared to that of whites, not the crime rates.

              Nonsense Jim, blacks are 13% of the population yet commit 51% of murders and eight more times likely to rob than whites. So accounting for the disparity in crime we account for the disparity in treatment. Again more crime, more interaction with the police, hence more things to go wrong.

                Oh, I see what you're saying now, seer. Floyds murder was not police abuse, it was just something going wrong.

                      You're the one that said it seer. You equated police abuse with just something going wrong.

                        I'll gladly admit that violent protesters are counter productive.

                              From the Babylon Bee:

                              Source: WHO Scientists Confirm Coronavirus Only Spreads At Conservative Protests


                              WHO scientists have confirmed that the coronavirus only spreads at problematic protests, like conservative rallies, Trump campaign events, and Second Amendment rights demonstrations. The study found that the coronavirus will not spread at progressive protests or violent riots.


                              The WHO study showed that only Republicans, 2nd Amendment demonstrators, and Trump supporters can spread dangerous viruses when they break lockdown to assemble and protest, not any other kind of protesters.

                              "You only want people to die if you go protest for conservative causes -- otherwise, you're safe," said a W.H.O. scientist as he mixed two differently colored liquids together. They exploded and his hair went straight back, burning his face. "AHHHHH!!!"

                              Unfortunately, the scientist was later discovered to be a bunch of raccoons in a lab coat, so the results of the study may be suspect.
