2021-07-17 06:45:38 Now that Philly has begun sensationalizing the gun violence again with the 300th homicide this year. I want to do some comparisons between police gun violence and civilian gun violence. I dont have an accurate count of police violence for this years police gun violence rate yet. But I do have last years. 34 police shootings from 6000 officers would be equal to 8937 shootings from 1579000 residents. But there were not 8937 shootings last year. There were 2200. Which means police gun violence occurs at a rate 4 times higher per capita than civilian gun violence in Philadelphia. This year there have been 1224 shootings in Philadelphia. For it to be on pace with last years police gun violence there would need to be 4021 shootings so far this year. So that means Philadelphia police last year were still 3.5 times more violent than Philadelphians have been this year. So stop sensationalizing your neighbors as violent and start sensationalizing the violence police commit. Make sure everyone knows how violent the police are in comparison to the residents they are supposed to "protect" Open / Comment

Look, I agree dialogue is a great tool, but not when people want you dead. You cant just talk to fascists and they become magically better. This isnt an interfaith multicultural conference where we talk about our identities and find middle ground to become friends. There is no middle ground between wanting to live and wanting to kill. The social work that goes into changing genocidal people isnt something that can be done or should be done at a multicultural dialogue conference. You need to have mutual respect before you have crosscultural dialogue and racists who want to kill people dont have that. Instead echo that supremacy is never tolerated and take action so that it never becomes tolerated in your circles Open / Comment
