    It shouldn't be considered "suspicious" to stand outside one's own home, though.

    Lol.. you could not be more wrong. Across the spectrum of all violent crime they tend to commit the far vast majority of it

    Once again, I'm quite accurate. If there were fewer than 20,000 murders (and there were probably fewer than that) even if roughly half of those were committed by blacks, that's a fraction of a percent - 0.025 percent. There are more than 40 million black people in the country. Do the math.

    Let's say that if you include all violent crimes that takes the number to 200,000. That would still be a fraction of a percent - 0.5 percent of 40 million who were involved.

    What’s the percentage of blacks died at the hands of police and those who died have criminal records? That didn’t stop Democrats from demonizing the police but not the thugs.

    oh, I’m aware of the math. You’re forgetting that as far as crime is concerned, they’re way over their share. Over half of the murders in the US is not getting swept under the table. There’s quite a lot of crime there, and I’m aware that most black folks aren’t happy about or are committing any crime.

    How can anyone tell if it’s their home or not?

    Great, so why did Democrats make a big deal out of it?

    Me, if I see a black person doing something questionable, I pretend I didn’t notice. It’s not worth risking your life and career despite 20/20 hindsight.

    But 'they' aren't over anything. A race of people didn't commit those acts. In fact 99.75 percent didn't. So, which means that the stereotype is a bunch of hyperbole and is a skewed representation black people.

    There are more than 500 species of shark. About five are known to attack humans. I prefer to stay away from all of them.

    im sorry, you’re math is horrible. If you make up 7% of society (black males) and commit 54% of ALL murders that’s not hyperbole that’s actual math.
    But you can pretend it’s something else if that makes you happy.

    There are two reasons ... the desire to be the vanguard of social justice and the desire to win elections. We need criminal justice reform but I agree that the media coverage creates an exaggerated impression of reality with regard to police shootings. The same false impression and paranoia has been created regarding blacks and crime over the years.

    10,000 is .025 percent of 40 million. Math doesn't lie. If you break it down by the number of black men you'll still find that only a small percent of them are involved.

    Seems like it was a misunderstanding. A person she didn't know was entering what she thought was a neighbor's house. I heard an interview with Barnes and his boyfriend. There are fussing about microaggressions so they seem like sjws. If your neighbor is not an sjw You resolve this by saying hey I'm sorry I called the police on you I've never seen you before and I didn't know what you were doing. And if your neighbor is not an sjw they'll say hey it's okay I'm glad you're looking out for me.

    This lady is a good neighbor.

    They are still doing it. That’s the problem with over magnifying the situation. Look at the four dead Muslims in New Mexico. Brandon immediately jumps into the fray after hearing the news. The media plastered that story all over the place. But… as soon as police made an arrest and the suspect is another Muslim, no comments from Brandon and the story disappeared from front page. It’s like Democrats and the media are not happy because the suspect isn’t a white dude to link him to Trump.

    Okay, I don't call the President Brandon but at least you can see that in both cases an exaggerated impression has been created. Not everyone on the thread is acknowledging that, so I have more hope for our discourse :).

    There wouldn't be a story without it. It would just be a vigilant neighbor apologizing to a new comer that she didn't recognize.

    We have to pretend there is racism to fight against it.

    I agree with you but watching the video and listening to what I could hear of her conversation with the dispatcher, she knew or at least thought she knew who lived there and apparently didn't know they had moved I guess. I mean she was a bit entitled saying she wanted to see their lease, but otherwise I think this was a simple mistake that escalated. I think she said "I was apparently mistaken" or something like that at one point to the dispatcher but then she was being drowned out by his voice since he was one filming.

    I honestly haven't seen the video yet, but I'll watch. That said, asking a neighbor to see their lease is beyond entitled bullshit.
