Do you believe police brutality towards African Americans is as predominant as made out or due to such people running away, disobeying orders, etc. ?

[BlackBeauty90]

First off I'm American, not African American. I grew up in Europe & moved to the United States. A few of my colleagues (Nigerian as example) similarly question aspects of African American culture & behavior.

Anyway everyone goes on about Black Lives Matter - and yet in cities like Chicago for 1 African killed by a white person, 60 African Americans are killed by a fellow black (https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/black-black-homicide-psychological-political-perspective ) - in relation to "police brutality".

But the thing is, is African Americans are the most probable individuals to run away when confronted by the police, the most probable to become argumentive / disobey orders, etc.

Essentially the least to behave like law obeying citizens. Yes there are African Americans who behave but the... majority... that you see on police videos or the news certainly do not.

So is the excessive police brutality a reality? I don't deny racists do exist, but as widescale?

Or is the "police brutality" a response to the actions of arrested/detained African Americans.

I mean statisticwise per the American stats WHITEs in jail OUTNUMBER African Americans by almost 2 to 4 times.

To me it's garbage tier training of new police. As if that wasn't enough only about 30% of the US require actual credible experience on an educated level. And then the fact most police are trained to react on pure instinct rather than to descalate the conflict. Resulting in cops emptying as much as 6 to 10 or more rounds into a single suspect. And the fact most large pds are jumping to arm themselves with often second hand military gear. Has many fearful of police in general.

Instead of protecting the people cops now got a reputation of Killin people. Regardless of race.

Africans was also the ones who sold other Africans to slavery, so really it's nothing new.

A black man shot a little boy in the head, just for riding his bike in his yard. Did BLM, Sharpton or Jackson say a word about it? No, because it doesn't put money in their pockets.

[BeMuse]

Generally when you get crazy, the cops get crazy back regardless of your race. If you chill the fuck out you still might get arrested, but that's what your lawyer is for.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

It's as predominant as is made out to be but also a bit exaggeration is thrown in the mix sometimes.

Moreover, running away from cops and disobeying orders doesn't give cops a legal right to physically abuse someone.

[exitseven]

it is just another tool by the democrats to further divide America. If you resist arrest you will get a beating, what's so hard to understand?

Interesting how you ignore George Floyd case!

[BeMuse]

Floyd screams I can't breath in back of police car with no one touching him. Why? Because he was ODing. Black cop takes him out of the vehicle and put him on the ground. White cop kneels on Floyd's shoulder until ambo comes. Floyd dies after admitted to hospital. Autopsy shows no neck trauma and confirms OD. Jury convicts White cop of crime he didn't commit after racist national separatist terror group BLM threatens the lives of juror's families. Black people burn down their city and think they are the victim. Can't get more stupid than people like you.

[BlackBeauty90]

George Floyd was a criminal with a criminal record including serious crimes - such as rape - a mile long. It is unfortunate he died as he did... but he didn't give a shit about the women he raped or the people his drugs killed. So I didn't forget about him.

I am just not stupid enough to believe he was an innocent angel when he was a seasoned criminal.

[Opinion Owner]

So you basically think it’s okay to just kill people in plain sight by what they do? People were calling it a modern day lynching and we got tired of this because it happens almost every single day.

[BlackBeauty90]

With someone like that yes. He contributed little to society but pain & suffering to many many people. He laughed as his friends raped a woman.

[Opinion Owner]

@blackbeauty90 that’s a dam lie. You fell into that white racist lies.

[Wallythewalrus]

It doesn't happen "almost everyday"! It doesn't even come close to happening "almost everyday". That's how the media manipulates you.

[BlackBeauty90]

Opinion Owner - ROFL. There's a video of him doing that. He has a criminal record revolving around the selling of drugs & what not, means by which he killed other people.

There's nothing racist about reality & facts except when reality and facts proves someone like George Floyd was contribute little trailer trash.

[Opinion Owner]

Are you married to a white man? Who put these things into your head?

[BlackBeauty90]

ROFL. No I'm African which means I have more self respect than many African Americans do. Hell half of them don't know jackshit about African cultures or cuisine but think they are special when they run with gangs and sell drugs or mothers dropping out of high school sitting on welfare with their legs constantly open like a prostitute. Ask many people from Africa & they'd respond with DISGUST.

[BeMuse]

You ODing on drugs is you killing yourself loser.

[Opinion Owner]

@Blackbeauty90 we are better than you guys because we have nfl nba and more music. We have more black millionaires and successful people than you guys do.

[BeMuse]

You obviously failed math and did too much fentanyl. I see why you worship Floyd as your God king... In the USA Blacks make up 8% of millionaires with 13.6% of the population. They are only performing at 58.8% of average potential.

[BeMuse]

That's actually pretty much on brand to... In WWII IG Farben used slave labor from concentration camps to run their factory in an experiment and found that productivity was roughly 50% of normal paid workers. It was the slave mindset that cut productivity. It's not about the race. It didn't matter that the labor was "free", it still wasn't profitable to use the slaves to accomplish anything. Black people have a slave mindset even though they treated equally. Thus why they perform at roughly half of potential. It's a cultural problem that only they can fix in their own minds..

[BeMuse]

Meanwhile non-Latin Whites are performing at 128.2% of average potential and Asians are performing at 131.1% of average potential in the USA.

[Opinion Owner]

But white people benefited from slavery and systemic racism. Hispanics are pretty much white. I see them the same as you guys.

[BlackBeauty90]

Opinion owner - you have nobody's. They wouldn't amount to anything if it wasn't for the simple minded being so enticed by sports

[BlackBeauty90]

Opinion owner - go back to school you uneducated sap. Slavery still exists in parts of Africa to this day. Use your little brain... do you honestly think Europeans would have so easily found locals in a area like Africa which can be dangerous even today if fellow Africans hadn't sold their brethren

[BeMuse]

You obviously aren't smart enough to understand. Anything past an agrarian society working with primitive tools does not benefit from slavery. There is too much capital input to make lazy people worth employing, housing, feeding, and generally maintaining their human health. Machinery and fossil fuels brings levels of efficiency to work, that out competes unmotivated human labor. Human slaves are useless for work. The machines are the slaves now and they have been since the industrial revolution gained traction. Machines are as productive as they are designed to be so long as they have a steady supply of fuel and people that are motivated to keep them running optimally. When you think like a slave and aren't motivated to get things done using technology and you sit around and say poor me I'm going to half walk everything, you have no place in society. The cultural mindset of Black Americans is what keeps them unproductive and impoverished. It's all on you. When White Christians and Jews were enslaved in WWII by the Nazis, they had the same mindset as American Blacks and were deemed useless for modern factories. No money could be made by using them even though they tried. The same White Christians and Jews were twice as productive when they were paid a wage for their work. Blacks have the slave mindset without the actually slavery. Like I said, it's a cultural problem. It's all in your head with your victim philosophy.

[Opinion Owner]

I’m just glad I was born in America and I could be with white women. My girlfriend is white and she was the one who educated me about all of this from slavery to Jim Crow. She is a genius. You wouldn’t understand her or me. I’m sorry bro

[BeMuse]

You're a moron. I literally have an IQ of 158. White people didn't benefit from human slavery. It was a means to maintain a base agrarian society on par with feudal serfdom to stay competitive with other nations. White people benefited from the technology White people innovated. The technology was the what created the difference in productive output. Harnessing oil and putting it into machines and then improving those machines is what turned White people from farmers like you see in Africa today into world industrial/post-industrial powers. Black people did nothing...

[BeMuse]

Being that they were useless as human slaves under a new economic model they were set free... They've been free much longer than human slaves used in WWII but they are still unproductive as a group. People that came out of human slavery in WWII got to work in the same generation and have been quiet successful because they didn't get stuck in the slave mindset.

[Opinion Owner]

I hope you come back reincarnated as a half white and half black man with a black supremacist dad and self hating white mother

[BeMuse]

All your hopes and dreams of inspiring racism in others won't change your position one bit. The only thing that will help your position, is a change of attitude. Whites and Asians keep moving forward with technological innovation to bring themselves and their societies up as individuals as they actively compete in a free market. Blacks as a community are given the same opportunity and even special privileges that grant them a competitive advantage, but they fail to utilize it due to their own cultural attitude.
