Why is the US police only violent towards black people (never white people)? Is it because of white privilege?

Huh? That question isn't based on reality. You may want to look up some statistics concerning police brutality & violence based on demographics before asking such a question. That question is a clear indication that you have allowed the mainstream media to create a extremely false narrative that you've taken as factual to a point where you're okay with blatantly asking your peers their opinion on something that isn't real. Far more unarmed mentally ill white men are killed by police each year than black men or any other minority. In fact it's not even close. The problem is that the media is very intentionally picking certain cases to highlight while completely overlooking the vast majority of all other instances of police brutality when the subject doesn't check off certain criteria elements. The sentiment of your question is extremely concerning how effective the media has been in molding your ill informed perspective of the world. Please think about not taking what you hear on the news as fact & if it's something pertaining to elements you care about or are interested in learning about them please take a little time out of your day & conduct a bit of research on your own. You'll quickly realize how not only wrong the media is a lot of the time, but you'll soon discover how they very carefully pick & choose what stories to cover & through the lense of their own political leanings. News is no longer journalism, at least in the mainstream sense, it has become activism & as a powerful tool to be implemented by the government to manipulate how you see the world & how you view your neighbor. The game is divide & conquer but people must realize that when it comes down to it, "UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL." So please forget that inaccurate idea for the time being & take the next few minutes to educate yourself so that you may gain an understanding concerning the theme of police brutality & how it's being used as a tool, & falsely informing you. Do you want to be automatically assumed to be naive & someone whom clearly has allowed corporate media to dictate what they think? So think for yourself, & turn that shit off, it will be for your own good.

That's false, at least 1 white guy killed by police in 2023.

That video will never show up in Al Sharpton's news feed, nor most peoples news feed. Why? Because it is not news that incites deeper emotions and beliefs of misdeeds towards black people. It won't anger anyone, especially since it's probably justified, I have no facts. So it's not "news worthy"... editors toss it right in the trash.

"news = stuff that makes people scared or angry".

This is the problem... people... black people, kids, children, teens, adults... are being fed this false narrative and if they don't do a lot of work to see through it, it messes with them. It doesn't take much and they get a continual trickle of torture.

Most have no idea how many people died from a knee to the back prior to George Floyd... nor what color they are. We know why they don't know, see above...

There is a huge amount of violence against white people but it's not reported. Sometimes crimes are reported and then the news realizes, "oh the victim isn't the right color" and stops reporting on it. The news is the only reality in this country because people believe everything they say.

They are violent towards white people as well.

I just saw a video of white cops shooting an unarmed white man in the head and then violently handcuffing his lifeless corpse…as if he was going to get up with his face blown through the back of his head…

Brave blue anon, can you cite any valid crime statistics that support your inflammatory claim?

RolandCuthbert · Answer

You blueman group guys are strictly hit and run.

The guy in the video is "White". Why do racists want police brutality as the norm? Because they believe that while a few "White" people are hurt in the process. . . it mostly targets and affects "Black" people. The "White" folks who are victimized in the process. . ."need to take one for the team".

Whites are also victims sometimes. You don't hear that as much because the media prefers stories that get them viewers, readers and listeners, and that's black victims.

White guys get beat up more than black guys but it never ends up on the news.

Pterodon · Answer

Actually more whites are killed by police but you don’t ever hear about it because it doesn’t fit the liberal media narrative

NewsReader · Answer

Yup. Everything that is wrong with this world is the fault of straight white men.

NamerOfStars · Answer

No, it's because you lack the knowledge to do basic statistical analysis.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Because black people have a reputation for violence and short temper. Even black cops have admitted this, that a black is more likely to resist arrest and pull a weapon on them, then a White

BarryLiverstone · Answer

Stats show blank people are in the minority of police violence in the USA

Because we used to keep them enslaved and at that time half damn country thought that was no problem. We had a war over it, remember? Now, people blame the descendants of former slaves... Let that sink in a bit. Do you get it now?

They're violent toward Black people because Black people don't surrender they keep shooting and fighting back, White doesn't.

I'm not saying that there aren't racist cops, but this is just simply not true.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

That's not true at all. These monsters are disrespectful and violent to anyone who hurts their little fragile ego.

You only see what they show you, or what you look for. If you did, you'd know that's b. s.
