The. Why is it always black people you see rioting. I don't see Asians joining the fray.
their culture is similar to ours.
They also have angry groups of people ready to riot if something awful happens.
Somehow the concept of defense VS offense has been lost on you.
The men you so hate were defending a location. Which is a far reach from rioters, or throwing bricks to murder people on the interstate!
Ok, and whats your point? She was being criticized? Thats going to happen, especially if someone feels they were mistreated. Everyone has the right to their own feelings, it doesnt mean she did something right or wrong.
As long as its about hockey
Meanwhile its ok to shoot fed govt law enforcement
Then again you are ignoring my point

I don't think any were shot during that incident.
I don't know.
Watching his mother and grand father on TV was heart breaking.
And we do have this trend happening in this country where the cops have risen into killing machines. Much like some violent video game. That trend has been talked about a lot in the media.
And obviously has gotten way out of control.

This is EXACTLY the kind of shit that is pissing me off.
You have no clue what the historical statistics are on officer involved shootings, so how could you even remotely state " obviously has gotten way out of control "
Go find me some hard evidence that police are out of control, if you can, I will never post on P&N ever again.

A Closer Look at Police-Involved Shootings in FloridaThe country's first official SWAT team started in the late 1960s in Los Angeles. By 1975, there were approximately 500 such units. Today, there are thousands. According to surveys conducted by the criminologist Peter Kraska of Eastern Kentucky University, just 13% of towns between 25,000 and 50,000 people had a SWAT team in 1983. By 2005, the figure was up to 80%.
The number of raids conducted by SWAT-like police units has grown accordingly. In the 1970s, there were just a few hundred a year; by the early 1980s, there were some 3,000 a year. In 2005 (the last year for which Dr. Kraska collected data), there were approximately 50,000 raids. Some federal agencies also now have their own SWAT teams, including NASA and the Department of the Interior.
Quite a small number for such a populated state, but here's the catch:For years, violent crime has been on a steady decline in Florida down 43 percent since 1993 and around the nation. Yet the number of fatal police involved-shootings or justifiable homicides, as classified by law enforcement, has been on the rise in the Sunshine State. In 1999, 14 cases were reported, and in 2013, 58 cases were identified, a 314 percent increase.
It may be difficult to meet your challenge if national data is not collected.Lorie Fridell, professor of criminology at the University of South Florida, said it is interesting how the officer-involved shootings in Florida are going up. However, she says, theres no way to know if this isolated or part of a nationwide trend as theres no reliable nationwide data.
