Slashdot Mirror

It looks to me like "Type44Q" is confused about this program that has been previously discussed on Slashdot IIRC:

U.S. Central Command 'friending' the enemy in psychological war

Not really what is implied by him.

There's a disinfo unit out of Fort Meade that uses low-grade nerds in uniform to overwhelm people in chatrooms when certain subjects come up; the government has openly solicited bids for software to allow these clowns to "handle multiple simultaneous chatbots and user accounts."

"Clowns," huh? Unless you have some other info you seem to be confused about this program:

U.S. Central Command 'friending' the enemy in psychological war

By Shaun Waterman - The Washington Times - Tuesday, March 1, 2011

The U.S. Central Command is stepping up psychological warfare operations using software that allows it to target social media websites used by terrorists.

The Tampa, Fla.-based military command that runs the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan recently bought a special computer program that troops use to create multiple fake identities on the Internet. The military uses the fictitious identities to infiltrate groups and in some cases spread disinformation among extremist organizations such as al Qaeda and the Taliban with the goal of disrupting their operations, according to documents and U.S. officials.

Here's your link of German Chancellor Merkel demanding that Mark Zuckerberg censor Facebook of 'anti-immigrant sentiment', which just so happens to be the same as 'the majority of my country, who do not like my policies'.

corruption and culture of ignoring the rules? no wonder maintenance doesn't get done.

We should be spending more of our time hammering the candidates about the problem with the H1B Visa program - like SHUTTING IT DOWN! This is what's really affecting people! Think Disney, Hertz, and all the others that are destroying American jobs for CHEAP foreign labor.

Looks like your ideal campaign platform matches Trump's.

I fucking hate the idea of Billary as President, but lets not pretend the reason she is bad is because she has committed crimes. Let's just admit she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, and that is what disqualifies her.

I believe if an ordinary employee had done what she had done, they at minimum would have been fired, and potentially would have gone to prison. If they were a whisteblower, they almost surely would have gone to prison as retaliation: http://www.washingtontimes.com...

I also believe her "Foundation" is a tax-free piggy bank for her to pay salaries to cronies (at the minimum) that lobbyists looking for influence contribute to, on top of any money she or Bill makes from speaking engagements.

Let's just admit she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary

Perhaps in the sense that high-profile politicians routinely engage in such shenanigans without accountability.

Did you see this one?

Sandefur’s son, Larry Daniel Kaufman, was among the 14 people killed at the Inland Regional Center on Dec. 2 as a husband and wife sprayed an office holiday party with gunfire during a terror attack.

On Thursday, Sandefur weighed in on the dispute between technology companies and law enforcement. In a letter released by an attorney representing several relatives of victims, Sandefur wrote that Apple should help FBI agents trying to access encrypted data on an iPhone 5c belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters, Syed Rizwan Farook.

http://www.latimes.com/local/l...

But of course you're "more right" than them since you have no personal interest whatsoever in this case, you're just clamouring for the principle of the matter, which is obviously always the right answer.

Because someone wants something doesn't mean they have a legal right to get it. So, you're still a fascist willing to override legal rights.

And yes, as someone with no personal interest whatsoever in this case (not even my country) I can afford to stand up for the "principle of the matter." And what's so bad about standing up for the principle of the matter? At least I HAVE principles, and I believe they're worth standing up for, unlike you, where it's all about "expediency" or "convienience" or "mob rule" rather than the rule of law - in other words, fascist bullsh*t. If you don't stand up for your principles, you don't have principles.

And I guess you missed the fact that the mother whose son was killed by those same shooters sides with Apple. That's integrity - standing up for principle even when it hurts. Of course, you don't have any.

A mother whose son was killed in the San Bernardino, California, shooting last year is siding with Apple in its battle to protect consumer’s privacy rights by refusing the FBI’s demands for new software to break into the iPhone of her son’s killer.

Carole Adams, the mother of Robert Adams — a 40-year-old environmental health specialist who was shot dead by Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife in December - told the New York Post Thursday that the constitutional right to privacy “is what makes America great to begin with.”

She stood by Apple’s decision to fight a federal court order to create software that would allow federal authorities to access the shooter’s password-blocked iPhone. The software would allow authorities to retrieve personal banking passwords, photos and other information.

If you hate the constitution and the rule of law so much, why aren't you living in some place that hasn't got either?

Just FYI, we have a pretty damned good President now who has for five years asked Congress to do basic stuff, like not give tax credits to companies for their exporting American jobs, and instead give those tax credits to companies bringing jobs into the United States.

Holy Christ on a Cracker! Where have you been for the last 8 years?

He flip-flopped on a campaign promise for more campaign money, he ordered the assassination of a US citizen without trial, made the "law" that justified that act secret, ordered his 16-year old son assassinated two weeks later (via drone strike of an outdoor restaurant, killing 8 others), told the justice department not to enforce certain laws, made a completely new law by executive order...

And that last bit, the one giving amnesty to illegal immigrants, would have dropped 2.5 million job-seekers into the workforce overnight!

Obama is every inch as bad or worse than George Bush.

I'll never vote Democratic again!

You do realise that most of those 2.5 million illegals already have jobs in the USA and legalising them will (hopefully) make them pay taxes on their income.
Also, for what it is worth, the son was apparently collateral damage (conveniently eating in a cafe where a top Al Qaeda official was eating)...

The State Department confirmed Monday [Feb. 8, 2016] that the FBI is looking into former Secretary Hillary Clintonâ(TM)s email server, filing a notice with a federal judge laying out the vague outlines of the investigation. The FBIâ(TM)s chief attorney wrote the State Department on Feb. 2 to officially acknowledge the probe, correcting the record from last year, when the FBI refused to say one way or the other whether it was looking into the matter.

Your "They aren't principled. At least not in a moral sense." is an example of what is wrong with politics today, and you should be ashamed of posting it.

Ok, let's look at your argument.

On the classification side of things, there is not a lot of solid information about whether something bad was actually done or not. Yes there are seven email threads (twenty-some emails in all) that contain information that is now considered classified. So far no-one with any knowledge of those emails directly has commented on whether that information was classified when those emails were sent. We have heard that those emails did not have classified markers on them, but that again does not mean that the information was not classified at that time.

In other words, she committed a felony right there by creating and maintaining the server right here since classified information was sent repeatedly and corrective action not taken.

It's also worth noting here that there's a lot more than a handful of "email threads". We have spy satellite data stripped of its classified information - that's a felony for whoever did that. We have people, particularly, Sidney Blumenthal without a clearance given access to this information. That is a felony right there. And then we have Clinton instructing an aide to strip classified markings from an email. That is a felony right there.

And it's worth noting that this particular email setup has already allowed Clinton to evade FOIA requests. I believe that is a felony as well.

So, saying people who support Hillery Clinton are not morally principled is an example of unprincipled partisanship. Please wait for facts before accusing anyone, let alone making accusations about their supporters. There is plenty to legitimately disagree about in the actual issues in the campaign, without resorting to unsubstantiated mud-slinging.

Fuck you. This sort of weaseling is exactly why I agree that Clinton supporters are remarkably unprincipled. Notice that you aren't arguing that Clinton didn't commit these crimes, but rather that we can't prove it.

Correct. She "did not receive or send e-mails marked classified" because she directed her aides to strip all the markings and send it via non-secure means.

Any other American that is not a Limousine Liberal Elite would be in JAIL right now.

So America, are you going to condone the diseased actions of, and lick the anus of the equivalent of, Royalty on your shores? The time has come to decide.

Hint: George Washington turned down the proposal to make him King at the time. He said there should never be a King in America.

I can think of at least on prominent Republican who is against it.

The story is about NY and CA. You don't get more Democrat than that. It's not like they'll pass anything without the Dems.

If the Republicans are worse, we'd see similar bills across the GOP-controlled states, yet we don't. Republicans aren't perfect, for sure, but wake up a bit to the Dems, eh?

Because to Liberals, the ability to control every aspect of other people's lives is bread and butter.

You do realize that the Left does exactly the same stuff as what you accuse the conservatives of doing right?

Obama's definition of compromise when the budget was being debated way back was "you do what I want or else", how is that any more compromising? He had his press secretary literally called conservatives terrorists because they wanted to negotiate budget priorities.

http://www.washingtontimes.com...

“We are for cutting spending, we are for reforming our tax code, we are for reforming entitlements,” Mr. Pfeiffer told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “But what we are not for is negotiating with people who have a bomb strapped to their chest.”

"I won't negotiate with you while you are refusing to sign my budget", that is what that says.

My policy is I disregard people who object to something solely to get 15 minutes of fame. If TSA didn't screen and a terrorist brought down a plane with a personal explosive device the same people would sue because they should have made AIT mandatory.

I'd agree with you, but from the moment the TSA began operations they've been a dismal failure. And I mean dismal- they've stopped no one, not a single terrorist, and they've stopped no plots or plans, again, not a single one.

Meanwhile they've assaulted/accosted thousands of ordinary people just trying to get from point A to point B. They've beaten and humiliated people, sexually molested others, and harassed many innocent travelers just because they had the power to do so. They've tased people for no reason, confiscated literally tons of items that posed no threat, and they display a breathtaking lack of common sense (like taking away a kid's Buzz Lightyear toy because it "looked like a gun" Really? That thing looks like a fucking gun?).

They've missed screening for and detecting weapons (guns, knives, etc) up to 97% of the time when they've been tested. The employees themselves admit that what they do is basically a joke that accomplishes nothing. They miss fake test bombs and explosives on a regular basis, over and over again. Meanwhile they're busy confiscating 3 oz bottles of shampoo and baby bottles full of breast milk.

So no, I'm sorry, but at this point the TSA has been a total failure and has shown quite clearly that they serve no useful purpose.

when Reagan proposed banning cop-killer bullets, he was supported by the NRA. Today? Don't make me laugh.

Ah, that old chestnut. They were a myth back then (teflon-coated, KTW, and so on) when Reagan jumped on that bandwagon, and they are a myth now with Biden pulling the same crap (end of third paragraph):

http://www.washingtontimes.com...

https://news.vice.com/article/...

The teflon on teflon-coated rounds has no measurable penetration enhancement on police and military body armor. The KTW bullets themselves had a design which improved penetration but the teflon was not the cause, and many types of ordinary jacketed handgun ammunition, including some 9mm types, are capable of defeating level 2 vests, and in some calibers can even breach level 3A vests. This new push against "armor piercing" rounds doesn't really cover actual armor piercing rounds, because, of course, that's not the actual goal now, just as it wasn't then. They've just trying to chip away at a fundamental right under the guise of "common sense" and "gun safety". Note (second link above) that there is already a legal definition of armor piercing ammunition.

I'm not sure why the NRA supported Reagan (given the known falsehoods about teflon-coated bullets at the time), but it probably was rooted in a combination of political concerns of the times together with a membership base which used to be far more concerned with hunting rights than 2nd Amendment rights. After NBC ran its segment on "cop-killer" bullets, there was a lot of uninformed hysteria, and willful misuse by gun control advocates. In recent years the NRA has started to finally get its head out of its ass - maybe they'll even overcome that bitter "Negotiating Rights Away" moniker.

Maybe you should ask the people of Chattanooga before you make such moronic declarations.

Even the sticker price for their Internet (apparently, $58 for 100 Mbps) is more expensive than what I'm getting here, and that isn't counting the massive subsidies:

http://www.americanlegislator....

Chattanooga’s fiber network added to Tennessee’s already staggering municipal network costs. And, as with all publicly-operated networks, the burden on taxpayers forced to pay for this network went undetected. The EPB launched Chattanooga’s project in 2010 and built the network almost entirely with taxpayer funds; EPB’s electric customers financed a hefty $160 million loan, while federal taxpayers paid for the other $111 million as part of the 2009 stimulus bill. EPB’s Internet and cable television customers will pay for the remaining $29 million.

and

High-speed Internet service is great, but there is no real demand for the speeds EPB offers, which reach nearly 200 times faster than the average broadband speed in America. EPB offers a one gigabit-per-second service to all homes and businesses in the region, yet only a handful of residents and 20 odd businesses subscribe to the exorbitant $350 per month gigabit option. Ironically, most taxpayers who paid to build the network cannot themselves afford the service fee.

That is, regular tax payers are forced to pay for massive bandwidth that almost nobody wants or needs; but those high numbers give nerds like you a hard-on although even you can't actually use them. And neither the financials nor the speeds are in dispute; it's simply that the people responsible for this kind of government waste are trying to put a positive spin on it.

Thanks for clarifying exactly how much you know. Usually one has to really reach out to get someone such as yourself show their full range of understanding but in this case you've made it easy.

You're welcome. Thanks for pointing to Chattanooga, presumably the best example you could come up with: it is an excellent illustration of how utterly broken municipal broadband is. Do not want.

not done.

Yes, the US Department of Homeland Security, famous for having given guns to drug smugglers that kill US people http://www.washingtontimes.com... and have been leering at naked pictures of US airport travelers http://www.wired.com/2012/05/b... can't even stop weapons from going onboard http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/01/... now want to give us advice on cyber[sic]-security.

I'd rather take security advice from the seventeen year old kid next door. He is probably more up to date, in better shape mentally and physically, less corrupt, hasn't let any terrorists cross the border, armed them, or allowed them into airports. And finally, I KNOW he's actually made it through high-school.

Some people here in the US are unhinged about the "Koch brothers" and send hate mail and death threats:

But some people aren't smart enough to distinguish between the real Koch brothers and other business owned by people named "Koch":
http://www.washingtontimes.com...

Freedom, similar level of security, less government waste, following the constitution.

The government has previously admitted that its mass surveillance efforts haven't cracked a case or helped to catch a terrorist so doing nothing would have been just as effective.

ISIS's self-proclaimed strategy is to incite "Rome" to attack them on Syrian soil, thus bringing about Islam's version of "armageddon".

Indeed, the effort to blacklist homeopathy is entirely thanks to Marsh and the rest of the Good Thinking Society. Please consider donating to them so they can continue their fight against wasteful and dangerous pseudoscience. Homeopathic owl isn't cheap you know.

Maybe they can join the fight to stop wasting money for unnecessary mammography and prostate exams while they are at it. And of course the bogus annual physical too...

Unfortunately, that might be too non-PC?

There's been at least one pilot injured, perhaps permanently by a laser.

My suggestion is to develop a highly precise retroreflector material, like used in road sign paint or bicycle reflectors (they appear bright because they reflect your headlights back at you) but much more precise. Then paint all aircraft with this material. Then the idiots shining lasers at planes will end up blinding themselves.

In the US, the President's attempt to halt deportations was just rejected by the courts.

Many folks would argue about his "legacy" being thin, and they would be right.

Oh really?

Obama pulled all the troops out of Iraq before Iraq was ready to defend itself, and he publicly announced the date on which Iraq would be defenceless. Result: ISIS overrunning major cities, looting banks to buy weapons, murdering and raping. I lay this death toll squarely at Obama's feet... he inherited a pacified situation from Bush and managed to screw it all to hell. Then he denied it.

Obama signed the ironically named "Affordable Care Act" but didn't write it. He did stump for it, famously promising that "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor", promising that a family of 4 would save $2500 per year. Result: people found they couldn't keep their doctor, people found that premiums went up for everyone, and now the ACA is entering a death spiral.

Obama's "recovery" is the worst recovery since 1932.

Obama mocked Romney for identifying Russia as a strategic threat, and now Russia is making a shambles of US policy in the middle east. Obama actually started this, when he gratefully let Putin rescue him from having to actually do something when Syria crossed his "red line".

On Obama's watch, an embassy was successfully attacked and the ambassador killed, the first death of an ambassador in the line of duty in three decades. Maybe we should blame that on Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State? But she was Obama's Secretary of State. "The buck stops here."

How has the Democratic Party done with Obama as President? Not well.

I don't think Obama's "legacy" is thin at all. I think it's thick, but it's a thick legacy of failure and disaster.

The Washington Times. Say what you will about their ownership and/or editorial slant, but it works right out of the box without trying to figure what you need to enable.

Nah, just a Margaret Sanger approved approach...

Oh wait, some in the highest levels of government have been portraying Assange's "actions" (aka journalism, somewhat sloppy journalism but journalism all the same) as "aiding our enemies (terrorists)". Congressman Peter King stated that Wikileaks should be designated as a terrorist organization. Others have suggested he should "vanish", still others have said he should be prosecuted for espionage, material support of terrorism, aiding the enemy or a number of other charges.

You don't see it happening because very few people know about it. Do you think that the lack of media coverage is accidental? Oh I know, Ben Carson the Republican candidate said something loony about having to attack a gunman on a spree just to kill, so that has to take all 7 "News" stations days to investigate and discuss. TPPIP? Not a word could be heard on any of those stations about that one. Amazingly, the candidates are not discussing it or being quoted on that one either.

First, Carson's comment is about as loony as calling the police and expecting them to save you. What he said was if you are about to die, try to save others. It's no different than after 9/11 when public discussion went from advising people to stay calm and follow orders/cooperate when an airplane is hijacked to assume you will be dead so take risks and save others. If you cannot understand that, you might have a serious problem.

Next, there is no or little media coverage because until recently there was nothing to cover outside of speculation. It's all been drafts leaked to the public via questionable sources and as we found out, a lot is different. I suspect we will end up continuing with little coverage because the IP provisions benefit the news corporations greatly.

Oh but Donal Trump this and that, and of course everyone is just mean to Hillary because in all the time she served as Secretary of State she never ever sent or received even 1 classified email.

That is an outright lie.

The game is rigged pretty heavily today. People would probably shit themselves if they really know how much they are being manipulated. But hell, Facebook does not show anything too important in their feeds, and Facebook taking over control of that was accidental too.

Yup and you demonstrated my point with your political half assery too. Whenever someone talks about this subject, they have half the facts and half the fallacy along with all the hyperbole.

That rant is not really directed at you. It is directed at those who are now wearing that same tin-foil hat they accused others of wearing. I hope it fits them well.

This happens more often than most of us are willing to realize. Early warnings of lost jobs came about with NAFTA, Crazies like Glenn Beck was warning of ISIS and the Caliphate long before it was mainstream. Hell, even the horrors of Nazi Germany were foretold before the world was shocked at what we found at the end of WWII. Escaped Jews were trying to get the US involved long before Pearl Harbor pushed us over the edge. I guess for some, they just have to reach out and touch the hot stove in order to understand what your warning about the stove being hot really means.

some pathetic political hack

You should have more respect for the late Senator Ted Kennedy.

Obama won't be in office much longer. President Trump or President Sanders might well give him some kind of a deal or even an outright pardon.

LOL Are you kidding? You are sadly misinformed or have a habit of assuming others share your opinion.

http://www.washingtontimes.com...

You must have missed Obama going out of his way to refuse to negotiate with the Republicans over the last government shutdown. You may have noticed that when he finally caved in and talked to them, the problem was resolved that day. Kind of funny isn't it?

http://www.washingtontimes.com...

A politician that refuses to negotiate is a politician that isn't doing their job. The name of the game is negotiation, it is how things are done.

RomneyCare was designed for a SPECIFIC State. And the Heritage Foundation recommendations had quite a bit of lowering of regulations AND taxation - nothing at all like Obamacare other than a mandate that everyone should get it.

Most of those "amendments" did things like define 40 hours as a work-week and make sure that Congress also must participate in Obamacare.

Deficit? You mean more than the two TRILLION it's going to cost over the next 10 years?

YOu mean like this alternative?

As a moderate Conservative, you haven't much of a clue about the actual costs of Obamacare or its influence on small business. I've dealt with it first-hand and it's a nightmare...

TFA claims that Chinese is compiling a facebook of US government employees

TFA links to an article on Washington Times http://www.washingtontimes.com... , which said that according to Fox News, a guy, with the name of Dmitri Alperovitch, claims that China is compiling a MASSIVE facebook-like database of US government employees

Fox News article ( http://www.foxnews.com/politic... ) carries a similar claim

Where's the beef?

Neither of the three articles (Slashdot, Washington Times and Fox News) bother to provide any proof to back up Mr. Alperovitch's allegation

Trump is completely against this outsourcing thing.

I'm curious. What do you think a POTUS can do about outsourcing, except be against it?

How do you stop a transnational corporation from moving jobs to other countries in an age of big-dollar corporate lobbying? You think Trump is gonna call for a boycott?

The president can stop bad laws from passing.

Additionally, Trump in particular is an expert at negotiations and making deals.

For comparison, note that our current ambassador to Japan is Caroline Kennedy, who is largely a poor choice.

That last link was from the State Department's internal audit of our Japanese ambassador.

We have a long list of trade deals which supercede the constitution and make Americans miserable.

"ops" appears to mean the State Department operations center.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/sep/1/hillary-clinton-emails-contained-spy-satellite-dat/?page=all#pagebreak

"As soon as I'm off call now. Tell ops to set it up now," Mrs. Clinton wrote from her personal email account on Oct. 3, 2009, to top State Department aide Huma Abedin on Oct. 3, 2009, seeking the department's operations center to set up a high-level Saturday morning call with two assistant secretaries of state and a foreign ambassador.

Also from that article:

The email does not appear to have been copied directly from the classified email system and crossed what is known as the "air gap" to nonclassified computers, the sources said.

Rather, the intelligence community believes a State Department employee received the information through classified channels and then summarized it when that employee got to a nonclassified State Department computer. The email chain went through Mrs. Clinton's most senior aides and eventually to Mrs. Clinton's personal email, the sources said.

I guess Hillary and the other people at State thought it would be okay to summarize sensitive information and paraphrase it before sending it to the unsecured server. This must be what Sullivan was referring to in this quote:

...until ops converts it to the unclassified email system, there is no physical way for me to email it. I can't even access it.

I'll bet the people from "ops" who performed this service for Hillary will end up taking the Fifth over this.

Yes, let's move on for a war criminal wanted for crimes against humanity and focus on a mail server that was receiving non-classified email as much as a state state.gov address would ....

Neither President Obama nor Bush is "wanted" for any "crimes against humanity" by the ICC, INTERPOL, or any government. The emails that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton turned over from her server have been found to include at least two emails with Top Secret information, and that information was always Top Secret, as well as hundreds more with classified information. The FBI is investigating this matter, has seized the server, and the emails held by her attorney. It seems pretty clear that one or more people were reckless with handling classified information, and may have passed it on to people without security clearances and an official need to know. There is a genuine possibility someone will be prosecuted for this.

Trump's immigration "policies" get a lot of support because they basically mirror the same kind of simplistic truth people believe: Illegal immigrants have broken the law and should be deported, walling off the border between the US and Mexico will keep them out, lack of rigorous immigration enforcement enables illegal immigrant criminals to commit crime.

Disclaimer: white techie here.

Where I live it's nearly 50/50 black and white population, and the illegals are taking the jobs that would have been held by African Americans with a high school diploma. Quite simply, this needs to stop. If we'd simply level a 50k per infraction fine on any business hiring an illegal immigrant (and yes, the onus would be on the employer to obey the law by verifying that the employees are legit) this problem would go away.

Here's a bit of info on the issue.

I do believe some guy in New jersey beat Boeing to this goal by a year, and for hundreds of millions less.... (resubmitted thanks to /.'s odd URL wiping behavior)

The claim that black people have some kind of "privilege" where their crimes against white people are ignored (LOL) and crimes by white people against black people are sensationalized

Well, that does seem to be the trend on the national news these days. Stories of black on white crime, even some bad ones don't seem to get the publicity that white on black crime does. And, from what I understand, more whites are killed by cops annually than black are ?

1. Often it's cops doing it, and cops murdering anyone running away from them or sitting in a car is news.

I agree with this one..horrible. But horrible if a person of ANY race is killed by the cops unjustifiably. ALL lives matter.

2. Dog bites man != not news. Man bites dog == news.

Ok, this one, I'm hoping I'm reading your wrong, but this seems a VERY racist statement on your part?? Is the analogy of the role of Dog ==Blacks and Man == Whites? If so, you're saying the norm is for Blacks to kill/commit crimes on whites...which is so common place, it isn't really news?

That's the translation I'm getting from it....? If not, what did you really mean?

Yeah, I think it was less than two months ago when he announced he was still not going to divest from fossil fuels. http://www.washingtontimes.com...

So maybe he's moving from evil to hypocrite?

It's always about the money, and where it can be funneled. State paid out $6 billion without anything even close to adequate contracts just while she was Secretary of State. Think of the opportunities for redirection with a massive government led redo of the electrical grid.. http://www.washingtontimes.com...

Which just goes to show a lot of indie media is composed of fucking retards. Using murder rate of population as a metric for danger to cops, in death by cop whites are overrepresented and latinos and blacks are underrepresented. The only reason you don't hear anything from either the whites or latinos about it is because they don't whine about it like toddlers having a tantrum for not having their favorite toy.

"An analysis released last week shows that more white people died at the hands of law enforcement than those of any other race in the last two years,"

So what are the numbers? 51 Whites vs. 50 Blacks? That's more Whites than Blacks, right? Well, pretty much:

Based on that data, Mr. Moskos reported that roughly 49 percent of those killed by officers from May 2013 to April 2015 were white, while 30 percent were black. He also found that 19 percent were Hispanic and 2 percent were Asian and other races.

Wow, that's almost exactly the distribution of race in the USA - give or take a couple dozen percentage points. You know, like if police officers just shot random Americans in the back, 77.7% of the corpses should be white, not just 49%, and just 13.2% black, not 30%.
