Here are 4 video's














Just because you've even put a Tommy Robinson video on there, I'm advising you don't comment on this thread further.

1) because he's a prick. 2) I'll get raged up with you and I don't wanna get banned.

So you refuse to listen to the opposing view point... You ask for opinions yet don't wish to hear opinions that fit your narrative; basically asking people to comfort your views and ask for support.

How have you lived long enough to get to this point in your life where you cannot take an opposing point of view.

"He's a prick" Watch the oxford union address and the sargon interview and I guarantee that if you are open to debate then it will make you take another look at him; the MSM has crucified the "english national" yet panders to fulfilling a diversity quota

Thanks for advising me not to share my view but I will respectively decline.

This video is sick. I hate it, but there really are people like that in this world. That doesn't mean everyone does.

What makes me feel like it's going back in the Philando Castile case. A man shot and killed for LEGALLY CARRYING a gun, and the NRA hasn't said a word(cause he's black).
Seeing a huge organization just remain quiet, something they would NEVER, NEVER do for a white man. This is EVERYTHING that organization prides itself on.
Here, Trevor Noah did a great job talking about it:


The video won't load for me, but is that the guy that live streamed to Facebook as he was shot, just after he stated he carried a legal firearm?
Watch the dash camera video. They released it,

WARNING: May disturb some.


The officer tells him to not reach for the weapon and you can see through the back windshield him leaning up and reaching in a different video with the clarity enhanced. The officer fired 7 shots. You can hear in the officers voice clear signs of distraught.

As tragic as this was, it was a good shoot.

Anyone who legally conceal carries knows when you are stopped NEVER to reach for your weapon and always have your hands on the wheel.

I work in Texas where almost half the state conceal carries a firearm. I have stopped people in the past who were armed and never had a problem, that's because one one is dumb enough to reach for a weapon while an officer stands over them.

There is an old saying, play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Now while there have been shootings where the officer was in the total wrong and it was murder. This is not the case here..

Why 7 shots? Honestly in every case like this it's shoot to kill. Is that how it works? He's possibly a threat cause he's leaning for a gun that he said he had. What is the common guideline for...shooting someone?

Yeah seeing it from that POV tells a different story. Still is the shoot to kill really necessary? Could've shot to disarm.
Unfortunately, that is not protocol. He could have tased him but from the looks of it, he was not carrying one. In a situation like this you can't have the intention to try and shoot to disarm, You may only have one chance and if you miss. You die.

Watch this video for example. It shows how fast things can happen on a traffic stop.
Skip to 2:10 for the body camera of the officer who first fired.

In a situation like this, there are no rights or wrongs during the moment as there are two options.

1: You hesitate to fire and you die.
2: You fire upon the suspect killing him.

Situations like this happen in split seconds. The time it takes to draw a pistol from a wasteband and fire is 1.5 seconds. In a timeframe like this, you cannot afford to make mistakes.

Racism is a very hot topic lately.
Here in germany we got a whole lot of refugees. They are literally everywhere.
The gov handles everything about them wrong and germans think that those refugees get treated 'better than they should.'

like wtf isnt it common sense to help people who are afraid of dying if they stay in their homes. I can't get behind the thought process of some people here in germany. Why should we confront them with hatred if all they seek is help.

Sure there are refugees that act up. But thats the minority. They come from the complete cultural opposite. How should they know how to behave. Their common sense is different.
We are the ones obligated to tell them the dos and donts.

I'm at a business school where alot of refugees also attend. They stay by their 'kind' and hold back.

Sadly most of them are just blocking the things they get tought and fall back into their old habits.

My opinion is like most germans split. We don't know how to handle them. I probably contradicted myself like 5 times in this wall of text but the situation is getting out of hand.
I served my country for a year and i dont want to see it go to shit.

Yeah i mean watching the michigan video i totally see it. And I know why they shoot and the situations. I guess it just always seems like it's shoot to kill, when it's really more like shoot to eliminate the threat... but usually that threat isn't gone until it's dead... you can tell how crazy it is on the dash cam footage when the cop almost starts crying right afterwards.

A very hot button issue. Racism is very much alive, there's no doubt about it. You can blame whoever you want for racism nowadays but it's always been there. Donald Trump took office, sure. Doesn't mean racism was dead before he took office.

As to the dashcam footage of officer Yanez shooting, I believe it was a very brutal use of force. I understand what Glock says about shooting to disarm but I just consider that there was no need to shoot Philando Castile 7 times point blank to incapacitate him so he wouldn't try to reach for his concealed and legal to carry weapon, if he was even trying to do so. Was it a racist act? I don't think so. Just a very distraught and nervous police officer who may have taken the wrong decision.


This guy's an amazing case of racist. He went on a rant against a muslim girl and a black girl on a train and when two people came to defend the girls, he stabbed both of the men fatally. He doesn't look mentally impaired, he doesn't look dazed and confused, he looks physically and mentally sane and he KNOWS what he did.

As a person of hispanic origin, I wouldn't say I'm petrified of the United States. I'd be nervous whenever I went out on the street, sure. I'd even say I'd be nervous to speak spanish to my relatives when we're out on the street, the story that made me this nervous about speaking spanish was this one: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I feel like even commenting saying I'm not racist as a white would get me called a racist.

If she cared about her sons health it shouldn't matter what colour someone is, you want to make sure your child is ok and healthy, she is very ignorant.
