Sometimes cops have to shoot people because they are a threat to their lives or others.
Is this something that only happens in the states? Because Europe doesn't seem to have this kind of problem.
What happens in Europe is irrelevant in this discussion of the US situation.
People here own guns.
Some of them are criminals.
Sometimes the threaten the lives of cops or other citizens.
Sometimes shooting them is the only way to neutralize that threat.
Contrary to popular belief, gun ownership in Europe isn't outlawed in many countries, though their use is restricted. Yet, somehow, people being killed by cops in European countries are a fraction of those in the states.
Let's not blame guns for cops killing people, okay?

I'm sorry, I don't see a difference. If you advocate for only one race, or if you mean to diminish another a race, you're a racist. Plain and simple.

Sooo, yeah. They are the same thing. Racism is racism, is doesn't matter which race is dishing it out.
White Power is a means to keep all other races down.
Black Power is a means to bring black people up.
Pretty big difference.
Racism implies using your prejudice because you believe you are better than another race. These people are not doing that, nor is there any indication to believe they think that.

Racism doesn't "imply using" anything. Racism is a belief in one's superiority to another race. You can be a full blown racist without ever "using" your racism.
"Black power" was started as a movement in support of rights and political power for blacks. Unfortunately for one reason or another the slogan is associated more with militants than how it was initially intended.
So is a bunch of people running around with guns doing military drills yelling "black power" inherently racist and promoting violence? No, not necessarily. But the totality of the circumstances would lend a credible possibility that it is.
At the behest of the Mod I won't be discussing the subject of racism in this thread any longer.

The paramilitary group has every right to be doing what it is doing, so long as they don't begin telling their members to commit violence against police officers.
Should that happen, they'll be labelled terrorists. Heck, maybe even ol' Barry will drone 'em.

If someone wants to disprove me, so be it, but I just can't be bothered most of the time.
I was being facetious, of course. But the "terrorist group" classification would certainly be a possibility if this group turns violent. It would likely culminate in a raid any compound they have, in an attempt to arrest everyone in the group.

So you are pro anarchy?
That is what will happen if they start bombing people in the homeland and others see it first hand. If they ever bring those tactics out of the sand then everything automaticaly changes.

Maybe a month.

too bad they weren't white and defending clive bundy on his ranch....those people pointed their ar-15's at the LEO's and the LEO's backed down and went home...none of them was shot or arrested, of course they were white, belonged to the NRA, so they were labeled as patriots.

the people at the bundy ranch also held their composure and didnt attack the cops........the only violence that happened came from the police .....
They peacfully protested, yes armed, but they never assaulted the police and what ended up happening? no one died...
They werent tearing things apart and burning things down.......
Violence begets violence, and the people at the bundy ranch werent yelling white power.......
Apples and oranges
i always love when theres blatant racism coming out from the black community people rush to defend it.......but when its the other way around its a travesty......
