The Terminator is from the 80s though.

Hmm... organic and mechanical... if only we could use the best of both worlds... maybe we could create some sort of robotic police officer. A "robo cop", if you will. There's no possible way that could go wrong...

We can program them to only shoot white people, and free ourselves of white privilege.

Probably would've asked you to pass the chicken and watermelon, then went and got some lottery tix from the 7.

Thanks Obama.

I find it pretty gross that race has even been brought into this instead of simply dealing with police using excessive force in general. I mean it's not exclusively a problem for any one race and any solution is going to be for white black brown yellow red orange pink blue purple and mentally ill people anyways. All you can really do is condemn things loudly with numbers creating pressure to investigate and prosecute if the evidence is there sending the message that it is not acceptable behavior.

I'm unsure how you can make that claim. ALL of the cases we've heard about in the news in the last few months have been assaults on/deaths of EXCLUSIVELY BLACK MALES. So how can you say the bolded part with a straight face? You can't ignore the facts: there has not been one single instance reported of this happening to a white person. Surely that makes it exclusive to one race/colour???
