Oh people can read. Any far left or right extremist will ignore facts as you are doing.
Politics has no place on any national team.
Celebrating sexual perversions has no place on any national team.
Its not "team homosexuals", its team USA.

I would venture to guess Colin Kaepernick is black enough to get plugged by the cops by accident or on purpose. Me? In the same situation I will, statistically, most likely live. That was the protest before Big Daddy made it about himself.
Every study that takes the time to normalize data, meaning takes cop encounters on a per encounter, not total encounter, basis shows that b****s are LESS likely to be shot by police in matching circumstances than w****s. The great majority of cases, not all of course, where police end up shooting involve defiance, a chase, or both. The t***h is, if an individual white guy talks back to cops, refuses to comply with lawful request, curses, threatens, approaches, or runs from cops, he is statistically MORE likely to be shot that an individual black guy doing the same.
There are bad cops, r****t cops, bad shoots, and even r****t shoots, and I'm glad to condemn individual cops for them, but the VAST majority of cop-involved shootings are not instigated by morally or ethically bad cops, but by citizens who commit crimes, escalated non-violent encounters, or who want to be shot. The phenomenon of suicide-by-cop is a real thing.
Most of these shoots fall into categories of 1) non-compliance 2) insufficient training / evaluation or 3) failure to follow procedure/protocol, not ambush or r****m. To suggest anyone's melanin content is even REMOTELY as important as their behavior, when stopped by a cop, is not only wrong, it's a major contributor to the ongoing animus.

No Frank, she did not fail the last question. She was meant to fail by the team. She was given a tryout but was never going to have a position. That was predetermined by the team due to her Christian beliefs. To get around the law the team simply said, Gosh darn it. We all wanted her but she just didn’t do well.

Hinkle was discriminated against because of her Christian religion and faith. It's obviously an outrageous and illegal instance of religious discrimination.

As is yours. The left wants everyone to forget about black on black violence because it doesn't help them promote racial division. And its all about v**es.
There are a lot of factors missing in their data. Raw numbers only tell part of the story.

Yes, such as the per capita black crime rate is roughly 7 to 8 times that of the white crime rate. Therefore, there would be substantially more interaction between b****s and the police versus w****s and the police.

Here's some rational and factual info. :
As it has for the last three years, the Washington Post dedicated a team of data collectors and writers to focus on the issue of fatal shootings by police, producing a long story earlier this month headlined: “Nationwide, police shot and k**led nearly 1,000 people in 2017.” The exact number of such deaths the Post counted was 987.
But rather than supplying any balance or meaningful context to an important topic, the flawed story takes the reader just where discerning people might expect – to the discredited myth that r****t police are targeting and gunning down unarmed black men and boys for no reason other than the color of their skin.

By the third paragraph, the Post moves its focus to race, stating: “While many of the year-to-year patterns remain consistent, the number of unarmed black males k**led in 2017 declined from two years ago. Last year, police k**led 19, a figure tracking closely with the 17 k**led in 2016. In 2015, police shot and k**led 36 unarmed black males.”
Wait a minute. Note that while the issue of unarmed black males being shot by police drew enormous news coverage last year – enough to make the average person think there was a massive wave of such shootings – according to the Post’s own tally only 2 percent of those who died as a result of police shootings were unarmed black men and boys.
Yet four paragraphs later, the Post story blows the poisonous dog-whistle of race – even though 98 percent of people shot by police last year were not unarmed black males.
The Post story states: “National scrutiny of shootings by police began after an unarmed black teenager from a suburb of St. Louis was fatally shot by a white police officer in August 2014. The death of 18-year-old Michael Brown sparked widespread protests, prompted a White House commission to call for reforms, galvanized the Black L***s M****r movement and led many police agencies across the nation to examine their use of deadly force.”
What the Post states, as far as it goes, is true. But writers of the Post article know – or certainly should know by now – that a Justice Department report cleared Police Officer Darren Wilson of Ferguson, Missouri of any wrongdoing for his shooting of Brown. The report states: “Not only do eyewitnesses and physical evidence corroborate Wilson’s account, but there is no credible evidence to disprove Wilson’s perception that Brown posed a threat to Wilson as Brown advanced toward him.”
Simply stated, Michael Brown was no martyr for “police brutality.” Brown was a thug and a thief. He stole a pack of $50 cigarillos from a convenience store, menaced the shopkeeper and shoved him out of the way. Brown then walked a few blocks and attacked Wilson, a uniformed police officer sitting in his marked police SUV, and tried to grab Wilson’s gun.
Do that in any city in the world – no matter what your race or ethnicity – and you put yourself in immediate risk of deadly force being used against you. Police are not required to allow anyone to grab their guns and k**l them.
And, getting back to the Post article, it appears as though somewhere near three-quarters of the 987 people who were fatally shot by police last year posed a grave threat to police and others because they were armed with their own knife or a gun.
Put the Post’s numbers in perspective, because the paper chose not to do so.
According to the FBI’s “Law Enforcement Officers K**led and Assaulted” data collection, in 2016 law enforcement agencies that filed reports tallied 57,180 officers assaulted in the line of duty.
That number only represents data from 12,421 law enforcement agencies – about 70 percent of the 18,000 agencies in the country. So a more realistic estimate of assaults on police last year would be roughly 75,000.
So when you think about shooting by police, remember that each year thousands of cops are feloniously assaulted and injured by dangerous attackers. And despite the danger, and their annual face-to-face contacts with tens of millions of us, police fatally shot only 987 people last year – a tiny fraction of 1 percent of those who assaulted the cops.
What’s truly remarkable is that thousands more people weren’t k**led as they assaulted police with the intent to seriously injure – or in some cases with the intent to k**l – the law enforcement officers.
So the Post story should not be focused on police excess. It should be focused on the remarkable degree of restraint exercised by police.
No police officer in his or her right mind sets out to k**l anyone – and no officer finds the experience enjoyable or thrilling. It is a nightmare they all want to avoid.
Certainly, police shootings must be thoroughly and fairly investigated. And in the rare cases where police are have acted unlawfully they should face prosecution.
But in the overwhelming majority of police shootings, officers are acting to protect themselves or others from the prospect of imminent death or injury. Race plays no part in the decision to reluctantly shoot when there is no other alternative.

Being critical of the Stable Genius is certainly not "spewing hatred of the USA". It's a patriotic duty.
Australia's biggest problem is a PM that won't rule out supporting the US in a Babylon led Iranian quagmire.
Go back where you came from.

You need to start paying attention. Most of those k*****gs are entirely jistified. Cops k**l w****s too.
Almost all are asking for it except for tbose with mental issues and an occasional honest mistake. Cops aren't inherantly r****t. They have to make snap decisions based on the evidence they see.
The only place race plays a factor is that some places are extremely dangerous for cops so they are on high alert. Do something dumb and they protect themselves and the public from the perceived threat. If you don't want to get shot don't behave suspiciously around police officers.
Look at home many cops have bee. Murdered on the job in the last couple of years and how they are treated by the black community. That is the real problem.
If you want to fix things don't wear Che socks and disrespect the f**g and law encorcement. Work with police and community leaders to make things better and work to help fix the serious issues in the inner city.
B****s k**l far .ore b****s than police ever do. Why not try to fix that i stead of blaming the police for everything.
Sorry if there are typos. I typed this on my cell phone.

Again, not normalized. B****s are the accused in near 50% of violent crime, but are only 13% of the population. If we study THAT number, which is actually related to the frequency of police encounters, b****s are under-represented as victims of police shooting.
Your numbers are emotional in their appeal and represent NO trend. If 500 000 encounters end in 400 deaths and 200 000 encounters result in 200 deaths, the second group are being k**led at a 20% higher clip per capita, despite being k**led less often overall. Those who propagate stats with no attempt at scaling to the numbers of encounters are more evil than the r****t cops, as the cops usually are allowed ONE bad encounter but those who lie to promote a narrative could be responsible for hundreds.
