Just a question.
Can we start on the premis that most cops are not racist ass hats?
Or is the premise that most cops are racist pricks and they stop the good cops from doing good?
I think they're are more good cops then bad but I am not black and don't live in America.
- IMO is about a 50/50 mixutopian
- lol 50/50 mix. #science?deathboy
- the left wants to see USA turn into a crime ridden 3rd world country. as a result cops will be too afraid to go into american gettoshotroddy
- and let gangs control streets. We're right behind Brazil, Venezuela, Jamaicahotroddy
- great job america!pango
- When I was young and dressed funny I got stopped by cops a lot. So I figured they were all bad.Gnash
- you know what you said about the left is as extreme and as ridiculous as saying all police are racist right?monospaced
- nobody wants to create a worse world with more hate and violence. Cmon.monospaced
- Just start with the assumption that racism has no place (anywhere but especially) in policing. It’s a problem that’s causing a lot of issues, so worth adressingben_
- I'm sure cops are good, bad and mediocre just like the rest of us. The part that is troubling to me is to see them walking around with military style weaponsyuekit
- like an invading army.yuekit
- @hotroddy "the left wants to see..." :/maquito
- there are directives like in new York where the number of citations is a baseline of good work. that kind of structure makes good copsshellie
- pray on people of color to hit their quota.shellie
- after a while, even if you're good, it has to charge the way you think in general. scanning a crowd like "who can I get to fill my quota and nobody will care"shellie
- if they did this to the well to do or whites, they'd be up in arms. but hey once you ticket, and then warrant kids for hanging out and then they get arrestedshellie
- for the ticket later, now you're in the c system. upw also learning early on that you could just be standing on the corner.shellie
- *sorry typos. swype text is a bitch. anyway, I feel like in many ways its like being accused of cheating...shellie
- of someone is going to accuse you of cheating over and over and it's just as raw as if you did, you might as well have done it.shellie
- that's how teachers, cops, and people of authority treat black people after they're not a cute as a button baby.shellie
- then people assume things about you that aren't even true, holding tough back from opportunity and growth. and so the cycle continues. this hits home for me.shellie
- shellie i got a ticket by a cop once. passed a dumb shit CA tourist who cant drive mountain roads in a straight away. he understood but was working on a grantdeathboy
- to give out more citations. sucks for me. but wrong place wrong time and i should have jsut let him speed up on the straight away and he would have got it. mydeathboy
- bad. but u learn. sucks too because as i hit 85 i said watch there's a cop hiding in those trees.. sigh... at the end of the day its tax revenue. paying my tolldeathboy
- usually i'd just go to court plead not guilty than discuss with the DA i have no problem with the fine its the insurance, and we accept non moving violationdeathboy
- they get theirs, i get taxed a little. this one however was small court jurisdition where the da was present in the whole court room at the same time.like wtf?deathboy
- just had to take the hit on this one and wasted time actually showing up in court. to your story i dont think there is any preying. could be just locationaldeathboy
- sterotyping that pays off like a fishing hole. sometimes cops just need to hit quotas. and again personal responsibility. i fucked up. i took the riskdeathboy
- got busted couldnt even plead it out. its not the cops or anyone else's problem but mine.deathboy
- I make choices, sometimes bad ones, sometimes ones that give me more grief than its worth (any rational talk on qbn). In example of qbn. I know fully well.deathboy
- Who do i blame for it? Well one myself because i am inconsiderate of other peoples feeling and more focused on truth and reality.deathboy
- the rest could be culture which is a huge tapestry. like you thought im white so you call me racist or whatever for acknowledging the logical fallcydeathboy
- in a meme. is it a race thing? naw. i actually don't think u hate whites at all. your not racist. but i think you acting with emotion, mostly fear of some sortdeathboy
- scared of what people think. such fears are typical amongst any "difference". young old fat slim. rep or dem. Some people might act on such things or combos.deathboy
- nothing you can do. and a blessing you didnt want to work with any small minded people as such. but dont think its all because you are black.deathboy
- its the same all over. im white and ive had plenty of my own shares of irrational discrimination. but its their right to have such feelings.deathboy
- as in if i asked to work for you and you said fuck off. well that is your right. its not racist its merely a personal value judgement.deathboy
- hell if you punched me and broke my nose id say an emotional assault. I expect you to pay my bill and move on.deathboy
- you know no one's gonna read that right? i stopped at "shellie i got a ticket by a cop once"pango
- i cant control how people will read it. the thought i should be concerned and dumb it down like responsive web design to the lowest common denominator or riskdeathboy
- flames of hate over social media.well im not on social media. actually not very social. so i have no issues saying what i think.deathboy
- but youre more than right ppl wont read it. who wants to read reasons for being wrong. does a bible kid want to here science vs creationism. very human todeathboy
- chase what you want to believe. and if you think i do the same, i can tell you i have no desires to believe anything. no preconceptionsdeathboy
- just a very curious observant mind unattached cycnical. really would like to drink with diogenesdeathboy
- and also remember no one refuted what she said...deathboy
- you know no one's gonna read that right?pango
