@gamer00 Has Offered Me 1000 Steem if I Can Post 1000 Stories About Racist Policing in the U.S.

Like I said, we can debate each case, or I can even just get a replacement case where the racism is egregious enough to meet your insanely tilted standards.
The fact of the matter is, it can be done. I could have found a thousand cases a month ago, and every day new cases are opened and closed. Had I actually believed you were sincere in your statement regarding this bet, I would have started this project a lot sooner.

Why do you want to do that now when you already got called for not providing what was asked? You had the chance and you blew it.

You were given explicit rules, and you didn't follow them.

I never had a chance to get 1000 steem. You never intended to pay it out. You and I both know that.
I just wanted to show you, and anyone else reading this, that it could be done. You can make up rules and keep adding retro-active qualifiers as much as you want. It just makes you look like a weasel.
I'm going to keep posting cases. Thousands of them. Maybe some day I will go through them and find the thousand cases that are the worst of the worst. Not that I am expecting you to actually pay up, but by posting these cases, I can simultaneously spread awareness of the issue and show everyone what a lying little weasel you are.

You didn't even follow the rules, why should I give you second chances?

I didn't see any rules stating that the cases couldn't be debated or the list couldn't be updated/amended. You added those rules retroactively. I am sure you will continue to do so. I never believed for a minute that you would actually give me 1000 steem. I would have to be naive enough to not see inherent racism in American policing to believe that line of bs.

You didn't follow the rules. I didn't even have to "change" the rules.

Case closed.

I have not yet finished presenting evidence. You are refusing to even read beyond the first hundred cases. You are trying to shut this down before I even finish the list.

Keep presenting your evidence, I think your evidence is nothing but hot air at this point.

1000+ cases of police misconduct, and you dismiss it as hot air. This is what cognitive dissonance looks like.

I really wouldn't care if you "could provide me with 3000 actual lynchings by police officers" now even if it was with video evidence, because you already fucked up with the first 1000.

Is that how you do your research and learn about the world? If you disagree with someone on one detail, you refuse to believe any future evidence they may present? That's what we call willful ignorance, folks. Wilful ignorance and cognitive dissonance.

No, I call the bet off when the evidence that is given doesn't match the claims.

You refused to review all evidence. You called the bet before all evidence was even presented.
You are practicing willful ignorance and cognitive dissonance in order to not have to acknowledge the ugliness that is racism in American policing, and to weasel out of paying up on a bet. It's pretty pathetic.

You don't have a case.

Keep telling yourself that. I will keep posting more articles about racist policing in America. I will take comfort in that fact that every set of cases I post makes you look worse.

If you are posting "evidence" of racism, do remember to attach the court documents that prove beyond reasonable doubt that each case is about racism, otherwise your "evidence" will not hold.

Every case that I have posted has names, dates, and locations. Any moron can google search any of these stories and find what they are looking for.
You can keep clinging to the belief that it's impossible to find a measly thousand cases of proven racist misconduct by American police. I will post more than a thousand cases. I will make this a regular feature of my blog until I fucking die. You will continue to ignore, deny, and deflect. The longer it goes on, the worse you look for it. It's unfortunate that you now have an economic incentive to keep the blinders on, but I never really expected to pry your eyes open in the first place. There is a very clever propaganda machine that preys on people that fear and hate their neighbors. It seems that once they convince some poor fool that all their problems are caused by people with no money or power, no amount of evidence to the contrary will convince them otherwise.
