Incredibly tone deaf guy tries to make a point; fails spectacularly and throws in some casual racism.
If you're a cop you sign up for that shit. It's kinda how it works. Just like if one is a nurse, they've essentially signed up to see blood and gore. If one is a teacher, they know they're going to be dealing with other peoples kids. It's kinda how the fucking thing works!
Yes
Nowhere have I said such. However, I have said I don't have the luxury of assuming I will be treated ordinarily/ fairly in any given circumstance. This completely changes how I live my life. Guess how many loud parties I've had. None. Guess how many quiet gatherings i've had. None. Guess how many highly modified cars i've had. None. Guess how much "urban wear/ jewelry/ accessories" I have. None. No Jordans. Ever. Not one pair. None. I do go to parties, cookouts, bbqs etc, but I leave early. Every time. Before alcohol starts becoming a factor.It's also bad to assume that they are all racists!
But yeah, keep telling me how I shouldn't make assumptions about MY life.
Philando Castille expected to be treated like an honest upright citizen. He's dead.Like tsg said earlier, it's okay to expect the worse, but it's also important to not forget about hoping for the best too.
Sandra Bland was pulled over for not signalling a lane change. She's dead.
Walter Scott had a broken tail light. He's dead.
John Crawford is dead. "A black man has a gun at Walmart." They sell guns there, he's not allowed to buy one? Well, he's fucking dead.
Tamir Rice is dead. He was 12.
Bruce Warrick was shot immediately after being told o put his hands up.
There's a whole list of people who's names I can give you. Dead.
Charles Kinsey, shot while lying on the ground on his back with his arms clearly up, taking care of an autistic patient, trying to get him up from where he sat, the middle of a road.
Black burglary suspects are depicted with mugshots and white suspects depicted with their yearbook photo. Same paper. Same crime. Published within a day of each other.
You've got balls to tell Swervo not to paraphrase you. Big fucking brass ones.
You do ME a favor. Don't fucking tell me how to live my life. Don't suggest a sunny side up attitude or mentality. Don't you dare preach to me what expectations I need to have in any given situation. Don't begin to assume you know me, you know what i've lived through, what i've seen, what i've heard. And don't you deign to make any assumptions or judgements about such nor use the pathetic excuse of your poor communication of your misbegotten ideas.
Thank you.
Fine forget you.
We have dead dogs and white woman too. Yes, the numbers don't quite compare to number of black men, but I think it's clear that it's not just a racial problem but an incompetence problem.
Is it wrong of me to ask the police to become more competent 1st?
Or must we just make sure that there are as many dead dogs and white folks as black men?
Seriously? You're the king of putting words in other people's mouths on here. You insist that anyone that points out institutional racism therefore believes that all cops are members of the KKK. You always say "Well, if you don't believe this thing, then you must believe this polar opposite". That's like your defining trait on here, putting words in other people's mouths. Suddenly this is the thing that sets you off? Go look in the mirror.
And it's taking everything in me to not just mock the fuck out of you for saying "don't quote[...]me". If you don't want to get quoted, don't fucking say it.

For fucks sake. This is politics thread.
Can we keep our quota to one train wreck per thread?
This is an Internet forum, excuse me for not hearing any tones.
Again, is it a train wreck kind of idea to want police to become more competent 1st?
You don't know what's it like to be me. If you don't want an optimistic outlook of the future at all, fine. However, I'm optimistic about the future. I'm hopeful dr kings dream will eventually come true.
Let's just agree to disagree.
