This is a big lie. There’s been more than 300+ peaceful protests in multiple cities, small towns, and suburbs in ALL 50 states. Not only that, Black Lives Matter protest are happening around the world. Many other countries have joined in with the United States. From South Africa to Denmark to Brazil, 5 continents are fighting with us. I'll be linking articles at the end of this thread.

@Elessar Nope, there is always a chance of a fatal accident while driving. That chance is far greater than dying of Covid. The chance of the police randomly selecting you for interrogation and detaining you are very small indeed, but if you commit a felonious act...Its guaranteed that the perp will get police attention
@RedtheEmerald Nope , you libs are trying to portray a felon as angelic upstanding citizen while ignoring the murder of a white cop by a black man because it doesnt fit your race baiting narrative.
@TexChik [quote]That chance is far greater than dying of Covid.[/quote] Not according to the data I saw, mortality for all causes in the hotspots have been 200% up to 500% higher this year compared to the average of 2015-19, considering also that incidents both on the road and in workplaces were at the bare minimum with the lockdown. Data coming from and validated both by at least two different and independent institutions as well.
I've also had someone in my family getting it "moderate" (i.e. a pneumonia lasting more than one month and requiring oxygen supplementation) so unfortunately I know what it's capable of.
[quote]but if you commit a felonious act...[/quote] I still don't get a connection; I mean, he should've been more likely to fined/charged (or however you handle such situations over there), not killed.
@TexChik Depends on the place / size of the outbreak. There are a lots of possible con-causes being investigated, populations that are more susceptible than others as well (paradoxically, even North Italians vs South Italians have completely different figures, and it's not that we don't mix). Also, the "survivability" are estimations, with a pretty broad confidence interval as well. 98.7% being the most optimistic as far as I can remember. And in any case, not telling you anything about the conditions of those who survive - some leave the hospital in a wheelchair, someone as young as 18 and obviously healthy needed a full lung transplant over here because his ones were screwed to the point (literal words of the doc) "they looked like made of dry wood".
@TexChik I am fully aware of his death. It was a sick thing that shouldn't have happened. Many people showed up to his funeral and many people have mourned for him. I am glad that so many people paid their respects to him. His death was not okay and they had no to reason to kill him. I am not alright with any person being assaulted much less killed. You don't seem to realize that I do not control the media. I cannot control what is and isn't popular. I can't control what millions of people on the internet are experiencing. What I can do is advocate for the cause.
The cause is stopping police brutality. It is for stopping police immunity. It is for stopping the needless killings on African Americans. I am fighting or equality. If you do not believe that this is a problemthen I will leave the names of a few African Americans who were murdered by police under no right cause.
I have no agenda or narrative. I have a need for equality. Do you not want that? Do you not want justice? Do you not want equality? Are you okay with needless killings? Please answer me honestly.
@Elessar Im talking in the US...dont try to pad the covid numbers any more, even the media now sees is as a dead issue , opting to sensationalize and promote racial discours
@TexChik I've seen similar figures also in American epidemiological studies, with a higher CFR for people in intensive care over there compared to here. Raw data are there for everybody to access, I don't care about what the media say. Downplaying is just as dumb as sensationalism.
