Is it normal that americans don't fight back?

Why do American citizens not fight back against their militarized police force? Soo many 'black' people are shot dead for no reason. The top 1% own 20% of the wealth and the top 20% own 85% of the wealth. For a Country with soo many guns, why do you guys just put up with the injustice and work for minimum wage? Aren't you mad? Don't you want to stamp your feet and scream? With 15,000 homicides a year why not go to the upper east side and start killing the rich, the bankers, which own you all?

    How is that supposed to happen? Telepathically tell everyone to pick up their guns it's time to go to war with the government?

    Constitutionally, they haven't done anything significant enough to warrant a revolution.

    I personally don't want hellfire missiles raining down on me and my family's head so yeah I think I'd prefer to keep the peace.

    Just because things here in America get out of hand doesn't mean that protesting and murder people for murdering other people will solve anything. That would be unnecessary and useless anarchy. I live in Socal where there is always some sort of hate crime going on but at least it is all manageable in some sort of way and don't point your finger at those who are obviously more successful than you, no offense but "look for men in Armani suits and just kill them." Do you realize how wrong that sounds. Fucking really, this is why people hate people so much, for saying stupid shit like that and being ignorant asses.

      Define success? Living in America is like joining a game of monopoly half way through. All the property is bought and have houses, but you are welcome to play. Eventually you will go bankrupt.

      The 1% have poisoned you all to the point the middle class agree with the upper class.

        I can tell you everything that is wrong about your response but you'd probably reply "look for men in Armani suits and just kill them." That's just swell.

          In correct, you can't tell me anything is wrong, because I'm right. You have been sold a lie, that you can be wealthy.

          You know nothing of finance, GFC, politics or philosophy.

            Melon said nothing about believing the upperclass was right. They said being wreckless makes us wrong. They didn't even insinuate their feelings toward the upperclass, so there's no way to determine what they think about them.

            Also, -nobody- believes the rich are right except for the rich. Quite frankly, not a whole lot of people give a shit. Most middleclass here have well past accepted that they'll never be rich and they just want to live out their simple lives. They're well aware of income inequality.

    What makes you think our own military wouldn't be brought upon us if we just picked up our few weapons against people who own bigger and badder things? Also, why does everyone assume the vast majority of Americans own weapons? Truth be told, us commoners don't usually have a single gun in our homes.

    I hope the day we have to fight is stalled, because if need be, our government would slaughter us like squealing pigs crawling through mud.

    Actually, in America, Blacks are killing Whites with dangerous knock-out games and drive-by-shootings. Racially motivated violent attacks because hatred of White people is incited and encouraged by the liberal left. Liberalism is now almost entirely responsible for any diabolical situation where evil can thrive.

    Black men consistently have high testosterone, low impulse control, aggression, installed hatred, and are criminally prone.

    Yes, it is very normal that (White) Americans don't fight back, because they'll be accused of being racist otherwise.

      Racist for whites to fight whites? You talk about black men very generally, the problems from blacks are a social problem. A problem perpetuated by lack of resources which are kept by the wealthy. You yourself are not wealthy. Hell if you are an engineer or doctor, you're not wealthy.

    The police deserve our respect and co-operation, they have a hard job, they don't need it making any harder.

          If you earn less than 350,000 a year you are poor.

  • I agree with standing up to police brutality, but killing bankers and other rich people isn't the way to do it. People do need to be more angry about injustice, not only here, but everywhere. The whole world is fucked. Not just America. Killing people in suits is just stupid and me being someone who often talks about standing up to the government, I hate to see such an ignorant view because it's this sort of thinking that makes people who stand up for their rights sound like uncivilized violent people who are no better than the few corrupt police we have.

      But it's ok to start fake wars? Murder is ok as long as it's Muslims?

      The wealthy control the Country through donations to political campaigns, this is no secret.

      • I agree there is much wrong with the government, but what you described sounds like mindless chaos. Not all rich people are in control of these things and not all police go around abusing power. Yes, some do, but the problem is that there need to be laws in place to prevent the abuse of power because people in power can be anybody just like us. Some have good intentions and some have bad.

        Bugs literally just said it's not okay for any of this crap.... What exactly are you missing?

        Listen, if you're so hellbent on killing people and hanging out in a cell that's your own thing, but stop acting like you're self righteous for it.

    There are so many reasons I don't know where to begin but most of us are very complacent, because unless we get to the point where we have nothing--no food, no freedoms...no CELLPHONES!-- we don't care enough to get involved. There are no revolutionaries anymore, only "terrorists".

    There's an epidemic of mistrust for police in the black community. That's feeding the problem just as much as any actual misconduct by the police.

    There's plenty of blame to go around.

    Okay well you are begging the question here. You are basing this on a bias not actual facts. There is a lot of reasons why people might believe police are just brutal and racist but its simply not the case. I will explain why this misconception happens.

    1.the media likes promoting racism/belief of racism as it gets views and makes for a good story

    2.A lot of times cops are taught to shoot if they believe the person might be putting the cop at risk and appears to be violent

    3.Profiling teaches cops to randomly check people who dress a certain way. Such as wife beater, shaved heads, baggy pants. Which is very common in the ghetto and often is how gangsters dress. The ghetto often persists of colored people such as Hispanics and blacks because people of those races are often poor. That isn't racist either its a fact.

    Now this is not to say there is probably not some bad cops but its not really as big of a deal as everyone trys to make it appear.

    Ironically the most corrupt police are usually in big cities like nyc where they have strict gun laws. They take away our gun rights so that we cant fight back. Not too long ago a man got killed by a cop for selling a loose cigarette, he was choked to death.

      A black male is 22x more likely to be killed by a cop vs a white male
