Are Cons Coming to Terms With Racism in American Policing?

I get the sense progressives can barely contain their glee when they make statements like that. Do you think the country will be better off with whites as a minority?

And how do you know the new majority will treat minorities different or better?

My guess is they will do away w/ that term all together.. Like oriental & coloured etc....

It is practically meaningless..

Of course if the don is elected they probably wont need to bother for a while....:rolleyes:

I know that whites will whine enthusiastically as a minority. Many already do (the war on Christmas!!!)

What has your research shown happens when a man is grabbed & body slammed onto the hood of a car like that?? For selling CD's??

The police were called because he had a gun.What else should the police do? Jabber with him giving him time to use that gun? That would be plumb stupid.
 
Bill said:
Did you see that?? Since in the new clip something is pulled out of his pocket but it isn't clear what, so they could not have seen it, as it was still in the pocket..

THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN a gun is all that the police need to stop him from actually pulling a gun. It would have been stupid to wait.

I am waiting for the facts. If one comes to a conclusion before them it is KNEE JERKING OF THE WORST KIND.

You're doing no different than I'm doing then. But from what we can see on the video the guy was in no position to reach for his gun. He shouldn't have resisted arrest but that doesn't mean he should have died.

So please need to take down and shoot everyone who has a gun? Think about what you are saying.
 
Bill said:
Yes, & it all takes time, time for them to talk to their lawyers & get told what to say/not say...

This isn't a stinking fourth world country & yet we have a police forces that can & do ruin the lives of the ppl they are paid to serve~up into death by cop..:(

So you want to railroad the cops like judge and jury BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW THE WHOLE STORY? So nice of you to knee jerk justice like the hanging judge of old west fame? I'm glad you aren't on the jury with a preconception of what really happened.

We don't see the whole thing, but it's hard to imagine what it could have been that caused the guy to shoot him so many times. We know he didn't have the gun in his hand.

I just know if that was my kid, I'd be well beyond rage. I can't see the justification for that kind of force.
 
Bill said:
Yes... While overall executions by cop have gone down, w/ the new technologies we are now seeing just how cruel, brutal & evil some of these MF's are..

They are a well protected class, their peers, their bosses nor the prosecutes want to touch them.. & if it goes to trial?? THey walk..

You hire a man to do a job, which in reality gives him great powers, including life & death/years in prison etc over others... Certainly not a job for most frail men/women & yet they are "assumed" better than us, more trustworthy, honest, level headed etc etc etc :blah: when in fact, they are no different & subject to anger, bias, prejudice etc..

That bias, anger, prejudice etc is costing Americans their lives.............

Another false knee jerk.

Of course, a possible gun was enough to get him killed-point blank.. Legion posted a great video, have you seen it??

In both these cases I'm waiting to hear all the details because we really don't have a full picture of what happened. In LA it was reported someone was waving a gun around. Was it actually this guy? If it was him was he really waving it around dangerously? Knowing helps to understand the cops mindset at the time.

From the video I don't think the guy could reach his gun as he looked pinned down but it's always easier to judge in hindsight and from the safety of my living room couch.
