Having me on ignore is exactly the point I made - you hear something you don't agree with, there is no discussion, just ignore that view so it doesn't interfere with your own inherent bias.
That's fine, but this is why the world is falling apart, and probably why a lot of people are here. They've been indoctrinated into a view that they are victims - black, it's the whites, white, it's the blacks, female, it's the males, males - it's the females, gay, it's homophobia, then islamophobia, transphobia, fatphobia and ya blah whatever.
When you start to believe that the world is black and white, dichotomous, 2 possibilities only and you HAVE to be one or the other, then you are either a victim or an aggressor.
In everyones mind they are the victim and the other guy is the oppressor - in the people you think are the oppressor - in their minds they are the victim and you are the aggressor.
If you just fly by your feelings and do not discuss and think, then you're into a death spiral where the only way you can go is down, where people see no hope, no future, have no purpose and want to simply check out and not be here any more.
This is the problem and it needs to be confronted head on, if you ignore it, it adds to the problem and we'll see suicides that didn't need to happen go through the roof.
He was wanted and being chased for having just killed someone, so, that's the reason he did it. The fucked up thing about this is that people immediately assumed the cops had shot him and started looting which is insane to me. I agree that there have been some terrible excessive police brutality cases but this is not one of those and people need to think before going crazy in reaction to every little thing. Watching people scramble to justify the senseless random looting in response to misinformation is really weird.
This is where we've got to and was the point I was making. 2 generations of people have been indoctrinated to make their choices based on what they feel, which is based on what they've been led to believe, which is probably false - rather than rationally and logically looking at the facts.
Because they can't face it - it makes them so uncomfortable they can't even stop to think.
In their feeble minds - "black guy was approached by cops. Gun went off. Black guy dead - WAAAHHH racism, nazis, fascists, bigots, cops are evil, WAAAHHH it just PROVES what I've believed all along."
And once that feeling induced non-reality is there you can't rationalise it out of them - "No, the guy was wanted for a brutal murder" "WAAAHHH racism" "No, he shot himself" "WAAAHHH they would say that, evil nazi fascist, bigots cops" - show them the video "WAAAHHH they made him do it by being bigots".
You can't reason with stupid.
