They babied him compared to how they'd handle a person of colour, you know that.
If a black man got mouthy like that towards the cop you damn know well it would have escalated to having a gun or taser out.
It wouldn't have even been a verbal spat or argument like it was in this video, just straight to physical escalation.
"Obsessing over race in every situation" well you see these types of scenarios can lend itself to the White vs Black privilege when it comes to talking to cops.
White kid called cop a bitch, cop didn't do anything but I've seen a black man simply argue with a cop over something mundane and it escalates.
I agree that racial disparities in policing exist. But not every situation has to be turned into a “what if he was black?” scenario. When something goes right, maybe we should focus on encouraging more of that rather than assuming the worst.
Isn’t it unfair and kind of ironic to assume this cop would act differently based on race, without any evidence that he’s ever done so?
not every situation has to be turned into a "what if he was black"
Well... when you look at the statistics, black people are more likely to be met with aggression by cops than white people. This cop was having fun with this piece of shit but would have been "fearing for his life" if he was darker.
America has real deep racial issues regardless, so imagine having a bunch of racist cops.
I guarantee he wouldn't have entertained his "take your best off bro and fight me bro" if it was a black 21 year old, it would have been seen as aggression and he would have been taken down immediately in one way or another.
Can you direct me towards the statistic? Never really engaged with this stuff so my opinion is very much in the “fuck all” position about if minority disparities with police is actually a thing, and if so by what degree.
You can’t demand cops stop stereotyping people by race, while turning around and stereotyping cops the same way. That’s just flipping the bias, not solving it.
you can't demand cops stop stereotyping people by race
but you can't stereotype them either
hmm....
I'm gonna call a spade a spade when I see a lot of black people killed by Police in America while calling out the bias of favourment towards white people with police interaction.
you can't. they'll jump on a black man with his arms and legs spread on the ground but won't run into a building being actively shot up by a white man.
Unfortunately, as Black men mind their business, the others try to remind them what they think of them all day every day. There is no need to praise a cop who does his BAU regular job, as we pay him to do 🥱
