    Does that mean he was playing a shtick and wasn't serious? Seriously, sarcasm is hard to detect over text.

    Well, if I was familiar with Brightside's previous rhetoric and post history, I would have known better.

    The rate at which police/military brutality increases or decreases is a fantastic indicator how much citizens feel like their law makers and law enforcers represent them.

    It's going horribly obviously. The police and army in Turkey are incredibly brutal. Are you saying it should be the same in America??

    Yeah one case of Police Brutality against whites doesn't absolve police of racist practices.

    That idea shows a total lack of understanding of what racism is.

    Never said it did. I just said that many cops are assholes in general. Never said they weren't racists on top of that. It often goes hand in hand.

    Next time you or someone you care about speeds or makes an illegal turn, maybe you or they will get shot. And when that happens, maybe someone will say "that wouldn't' have happened if you didn't break the law"
