    People, groups and governments come together when they all have the same agenda, thats all. No one is getting banned.

    There is no conspiracy anywhere. All these bad things in the world happen because people are fcuked up and nobody wants to go by "live and let live".

    I think this.

    thats just what they WANT you to think
    Really, dude?

    A blonde, blue eyed white dude with a six pack once asked us all to love one another from atop a mount and cited that if followed, the world will be a good place and a place is guaranteed in the firmament. Was he wrong?

    I would have thought you were talking about Jesus Christ but the hair and eye color as well as abs threw me. Who are you talking about?

    You forgot the "what's with all the innocent people being shot" & the "we're in the middle of a war on race and too many people are dying".

    I'm surprised you're the first person to mention this. The shootings are tragic, but they are also not happening in a vacuum, but rather in the context of other deplorable incidences.

    Why is it not considered deplorable to most and is completely ignored and overlooked when, say, black gang members kill other black people? It happens all the time all over the states, but you don't see it on the news or people protesting and rioting for all those lives that were lost. I'm genuinely curious as to the answers.

    While black gang members killing other black people doesn't get the same current news saturation as black people being killed in police custody, it is certainly not ignored, overlooked, or not protested in my new sources.

    ETA 'current' before 'news saturation', because while black people being killed by police has been happening for quite some time, it's only since the age of social media and ubiquitous camera phones that this has received enough coverage to make a difference.

    If the bold part is true, I'll take a shot at giving you a legitimate answer:

    (1) Things that happen "all the time" aren't what go on the news. News is for things that don't happen much. You know, man bites dog vs dog bites man.

    (2) When criminals kill people, folks assume that's part of what criminals do. They commit crime. When police kill people, well, that's not what police are for, is it?

    (2a) We hold public servants up to a higher standard than criminals.

    (3) You're a bit misinformed. Murder doesn't happen constantly in every part of our country. The violent crime rate has been going down for decades.
