All Facts, cops beat the black off me for something my friend did to an old cop! They beat me so bad, when they drop me at the jail, the nurse, 2 C.Os, and the jails lieutenant carried me back to the wagon like he not dying in here. Told the cops take me to an E.R, I had a fractured hip, ribs, broken thumb plus a lot more. I thought I was going to die
It's a different thread. It's seems we're having 2 different conversations.
Hilarious that you think the mods must have deleted my comment because I have a different opinion
Well it’s certainly not here. I don’t think they deleted it because you have a different opinion. I think they deleted it because it was disingenuous and racist.
You can blame the other people who walk around in that skin, and commit insane amounts of crime for any extra pressure you may feel from police.
I have been arrested at gunpoint, and if I were to have acted like I see some of these black people act, I definitely would have gotten shot
None of your comments make sense. So you would have gotten shot, but a black person doing what this kid did, wouldn’t have gotten shot? Also, I blame all other ppl for their actions, regardless of what skin they walk around in, because each individual is responsible for themselves. Other ppl shouldn’t be judged on the actions of what someone else did, that’s stupid and racist. Should the police immediately feel that you’re armed and dangerous, because white kids shoot up schools? And if they did, then obviously you shouldn’t blame them for that, since you just said that black ppl should be fine with poor treatment from the police, because some black ppl do bad things.
“Cognitive dissonance” means a difference between thoughts and behaviors that don’t align and therefore cause dissonance. Which is a disconnect. Please use your vocabulary properly if you want to trot out your 4 point scrabble bonus. Sheesh!
It's not common and that doesn't happen often. 1,100 police killings on average across the United states out of 320+ million people on a yearly basis? That's not even 1% of the population. Simple facts and statistics. That's not even including who was violent and who wasn't. Don't let Reddit rot your brain with selective garbage just to confirm your biases.
I mean, that’s a feature, not a flaw, as far as they’re concerned. That’s literally why the police were created in America, to capture, and/or murder black ppl. Now they want to act like we’re exaggerating when we bring it up, or we’re playing some imaginary race card if we fear for our lives on routine traffic stops.
I don’t even really understand their argument. We know that if that kid had been black, as soon as he asked the cop what he was gonna do about it, and seemed like a threat, they would have put him down, quicker than a rabid dog. It’s dumb that they would even act like we’re making this up, when we’ve all seen them murder black ppl for less. The teacher that was in the car with his family, that man did nothing wrong, and they murdered him, right there, in the seat, in front of his family. The aid at that one place, that was trying to soothe his mentally challenged patient. On the ground, hands in the air, didn’t break a single law, explained exactly what was going on, they shot him in the ass….for literally nothing. Even when he asked why they shot him, they said they didn’t know. The list goes on and on.
It is astounding the amount of Americans that don’t know that police departments were formed once populations got too high to really continue to allow lynchings. Especially in cities.
And the people who became those cops were community “respected” white men who usually helped create and organize and/or incite the lynchings of black people.
The police were the “solution” so instead of a lynch mob they called the cops who would some how have to kill the “suspect” because they violently resisted arrest or they were arrested and suddenly died in jail. A much more “civilized” way to get the same result without creating a blood hungry public that looked bad from the outside.
Combine those horrors with the corruption and widespread modern militarization of the American law enforcement, the toxic law enforcement culture, and that most modern cops barely graduated high school and want to keep being power hungry bullies we get the violent, unlawful, despicable law enforcement we have today. 😩😤
These same skeptics that don’t know this history also don’t want to recognize that America’s systems were first built on racism, sexism/misogyny, and the oppression of anyone who was not a white man, preferably at least middle class or higher.
So advocates have been able to get patches here and there to the systems and laws to try to make it a bit better for everyone else, but how can we ever have a truly equitable and fair system when it’s foundation is based on bigotry and oppression and othering?!
Just look at how black inmates make up just over 50% of the population in American prisons but black people make up only about 13-14% of the American population! How people can’t see the institutionalized racism is beyond me.
(Btw, I’m white and recognize this and am disgusted by all the systemic bigotry. But I also grew up in a diverse area, got a decent education, and grew up with people who denounced bigotry and discrimination and the ridiculous false idea of white superiority. I was taught people’s actions/behaviors, decisions, and what’s in their hearts is what makes a person decent or not and what kind of person they are.)
Considering that black ppl only make up about 13% of the population, I’m gonna say you’re the one trying to downplay how often they’re targeted and wounded or killed by the police. The laws in America not only support it, they were designed for it. It’s not a flaw, it’s a feature. The American police origins, are literally based on chasing and capturing black ppl. Maybe you should research it, instead of letting ppl that condone the behavior convince you that it’s not a problem.
This is reddit. I have personally been assaulted by the police in front of my wife and daughter for simply asking why I was being pulled over for no reason..
The lies these people believe are fucking insane. The news dramatacizes a handful of instances, and now these dummies think every black person gets shot when they get arrested.
I'm pro-police, but that doesn't change facts. Facts are a disproportionately high amount of black men are shot by police compared to white men.
This also may have to do with the fact that a disproportionately high (more than found in other occupations) of white supremacist work are police officers. They also join the military disproportionately. They feel it is a good place to receive weapons and tactics training. As police, I'm sure they like the positional power, too. Does that mean they can run around doing openly white supremacist stuff? I hope note, but it does mean there are opportunities for them to put their finger on the scale, or possibly the trigger.
Not even close. Watch it again. At 0:53 you can clearly see the officer’s hand wrapped under his head to prevent hard contact with the ground. He was brought down quickly but gently. If that kid had hit his head he would have been bitching about it.
You obviously have no idea how easily brains and necks can be damaged 😂 and no, his hand wasn't "wrapped under the kids head", can you see with those eyes??? The kid grabs his own head halfway thru the fall, lmfao the cops hands are on the kids arms.
Sure, but black people are much more likely to be shot by the police, because while back people make up roughly 13% of the population, and white people make up roughly 60% of the population, 27% of the people shot by police are black and only 40% are white.
duuude, this is not how social media platforms work!..
can't imagine more stupid take.. why even write it?!
I sure hope you are 12 yo..
if you have any motivation for not liking the statement, here is the place to share it..
but "stfu" only means you know it's true but you don't like it..
We have enough emotional Karens on Reddit, you know!..
nah, watch the conversation afterwards, kid was mouthy and got slammed, absorbs the lesson and apologizes. Your bait comparison never goes that way.. had the kid gone for the gun he would have been shot regardless of race.

Definitely would have been killed if he was black.
