Black Lives Matter video of the week?

[lightbulb27]

In this video, a white cop roughs up a white teenage driver for no good reason.

It helps to watch videos like this so you see... not all cops are good at their job, they do make mistakes and lie, and it doesn't just happen to black people.

Have you ever encountered a "bad cop"

I've encountered a bad cop

No, all cops have been reasonable so far.

Hell to the yes. I won't recount them but as an example this young cop told me to turn around as sometimes the cuffs are applied to tightly. I've not misspoke nor inebriated at all. I had kicked my niece and her no-working, baby making boyfriend out and her mom assaulted me. My sister told him that she had hit me not the other way around but having testicles meant I went to jail. I called the police fearing she may, as a female she knows how this shit works. Well I turned around and he took a cuff in each hand and squeezed them as tight as they would go. I was 51 and should have sued. I went to jail. Any ladies out there like this? I called a nephew who was married to a close friend of the judge, a woman judge. The next morning, with the officer standing proudly beside her, she went off on how she will be happy when the day comes that men are not arrested for simply being a man. I smiled and watched him shrink like a dick in winter. I still should have sued. Lynn, sister, told me he tried talking her into putting a restraining order on me to keep me out of my own home. Uh-huh.

Oh, but I have several friends who are cops. One I've known since 4th grade so not all are big headed. Probably about 40-60% are in my opinion.

BLM isn't really about cops not making mistakes as much as it is cops being held accountable for those mistakes. It tends to be when the cops victim is black a video needs to be leaked to the media before there is any chance of accountability.

[lightbulb27]

that's a valid view.
but I still haven't seen an outcry or correction of "mistakes" from the "white" people killed same was George Floyd was.
It's perception. That's why I post this... and 1000 more, so people see, it isn't just them. maybe it will help them feel better around cops, treat them better, and change the dynamic.

[normalice]

So you followed up on what happened to the cop and found he was completely cleared of all wrongdoing? Because if you didn't do that then you haven't even seen if there is something to correct and so it would seem what you are after is equal outrage for unequal injustice, not justice. Indeed, white people alienate themselves from would-be allies in the struggle against police abuse of power by so greedily buying in to the idea that BLM was ever about anything other than accountability for police abusing their power. Putting the thin blue line on internet profile pictures and bumper stickers in response to people demanding accountability for police abuse of power strongly hints that actually you support police abuse of power. Like, if that's what you want I'm not going to try to force you to not have to deal with police abuse of power against your will 🤷‍♂️

Eh... more like "Cops in the USA video of the week"

It's clear no lives matter, to cops. You're also being disrespectful as Blacks put up with this far more than Jews and Whites.

[Avicenna]

Your racism is hugely disrespectful to all

[lightbulb27]

maybe. groups that are non threatening to cops have less problem, that includes Asians in areas. It isn't black or white, it's culture... I think.
it be nearly impossible to be a decent cop in some areas. other areas, they'd be so bored they'd get fat on donuts.
