• Barr says leading cause of death for young Black males is homicide: 'Those lives matter'

Attorney General William Barr, in an event announcing the enhanced presence of federal agents in cities to quell unrest, noted that the leading cause of death in young Black males is homicide.

“The principal danger to the lives of our inner-city communities is violent crime,” Barr said Wednesday. “The leading cause of death for young Black males is homicide... Every one of those lives matter."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), homicide is the leading cause of death in non-Hispanic Black males aged 1-44.

Homicide is the cause of 35.2 percent of deaths in Black males aged 1-19, and 28.9 percent of Black males aged 20-44. The next leading cause is unintentional injuries, followed by suicide for the younger age group and heart disease for the latter.

Citizens?  You mean criminals.

Though obviously you don’t lose citizenship for being a criminal, so technically you’re right.

Anyway.... carry on.

I'm glad you two settled this.

Can one of the wokesters on the board let me know what justice for Breonna Taylor looks like?  I understood that the cops had a no knock warrant, and the boyfriend shot at the cops because he thought their home was being intruded, and that she died in the crossfire.  I don't know what the cops did that was illegal, seems to me like the issue should be with the warrant (which they made a law to ban no knock warrants) and not the cops, but maybe I'm just not woke enough.

The Rays have just offended 3 of the 5 fans who planned on watching their opening day.

I’m pretty sure killing people in their home is illegal so there’s that

Didn't they have a warrant to enter the house, then the boyfriend shot first so the officers returned fire?

Was she named in the warrant? How many shots did she fire? You’re saying it’s ok to accidentally kill bystanders because you have a warrant?

Good point, I guess the officers should left while being shot at and said "our bad"

Or just not bust into someone’s house unannounced and expect everything would be hunkyfuckingdory. If she was my daughter I’d hunt down the cops and shoot them myself.  Then find the house of the judge who signed the warrant and shoot some random person who was in the house

Don't know if they expected everything to be hunkyfuckingdory.  But sounds like the issue is the warrant and the judge giving it in the first place then.

Hiding behind the warrant is the purest form of chickenshit

Hey @m0nkey, do you have any info on how that warrant was obtained and any issues with it? Any info on the detective that obtained it?

If yes, c'mon man. If no, give it a Googs.

[Chuck]

Wow, even Fox News is shying away from showing the truth about these "peaceful protestors".

Nope, that's why I asked to be informed

Agreed and no knock warrants a re a terrible idea. Also, why the hell is a baseball franchise chiming in on something like this? That's all we need is more politics intertwined with sports.

I don't think @m0nkey is saying that, Cathy Newman.

 

I took it as "They have a no knock warrant, there was a dangerous dude in the house, and because of that an unfortunate thing happened." If that warrant wasn't given then this person would be alive.

 

Have you ever known soldiers that have unfortunately killed civilians that get caught in crossfire in war? If so, have you confronted them and told them how big of a piece of shit they are and that they don't deserve to live?

[Jason]

I think the Breonna Taylor incident is more indicative of bad policing and practices as opposed to a willful criminal act. There could be evidence and that proves me wrong though. Unlike the Rays and Twitter users, I don't have detailed, inside knowledge of the case.

So the cops just asked for a regular warrant but the judge was feeling frisky that day? Cop or not. Warrant or not. Someone busting into your house unannounced is a burglar and the dude did what any good ole boy would do. I don’t believe for a second that they didn’t expect to exchange gunfire

What charge would you arrest them with?

[RallyMo]

The detective that obtained the no knock warrant apparently lied about info that he had and has subsequently been reassigned.
