Would you support "alternate 911" for black people?

[lightbulb27]

We've all seen or soon will the latest questionable shooting death of a black person. Which raises to the head again... what should "black people" do when faced with an issue of police involvement?

One approach is to have alternate 911... which routes call to "Black designated" resources which are oncall, paid or volunteer... like volunteer ems, to handle their issues. These could be people voted on within such community... pastors, social workers, police... but trusted by them to handle domestic issues and other lower grade issues.

Granted... any situation can be dangerous. They have all the rights of citizens, but the trust of the community at large.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN ADDED COST, but may need your support to route calls and training. Very low cost.

Goal is to provide alternate for those whom fear police.

Non black people still have right to contact police at any time... as do black people.

Black - I'd consider that, yes

Black - no, because

Non Black - I'd consider that, yes

Non Black - No, because

and yet another such incident, the goal of which, would be to prevent.

The problem we see over and over again... black citizens refuse to submit to authority which leads to confrontation and accidents. No wonder given the decade of trauma in the news that doesn't need detailed. But until there is some change,... it will continue, or there will be no enforcement at all. Doing the same thing expecting different results is the definition of insa

how about just stop hiring assholes to be cops... lol

[lightbulb27]

Not an option. Offer 20k hirong bonus… then 30k… can't get people.

cops are idiots. they act like idiots more often than the people they stop/arrest. they have no business being in authority positions

[lightbulb27]

Please sign up and show us how its done. Big signing bonuses. I think you'll find there is a reason for the behaviors they exhibit.

[DrPepper12]

Cops are often the true criminals. It attracts loner violent sociopaths with God complex.

Wouldn't it make it easier for racist to get into it? I'm not against the idea but how are they going to be 100 sure those people are not going to be racist / harm them? Pedophile become teacher to harass children, pyromaniac become firefighter to watch fire, etc... So it might make it easier for racist to target Black people this ways.

Pretty sure we found segregated services to be racist and discriminatory

[lightbulb27]

doesn't seem to stop black people from having such groups. Seems ok if its for a good ourpose… save lives.

[lightbulb27]

Is there ‘positive racism’ eg there are chinese specific services, female specific. thanks for your answer.

[Sevenpointfive]

that's a brilliant idea! but not just for blacks. i don't trust the police and i'm hispanic.

[lightbulb27]

Yoi can opt in i guess

[Sevenpointfive]

i will opt

[Juxtapose]

No, creating a parrel society via segregation is a bad idea.

[Staximus]

Of course it means added cost, genius. You're going to have to hire, train, and fund an additional all black police and fire dept. at the minimum.

[DrPepper12]

Thats insane. I got a better idea. VOTE! ORGANIZE! LOBBY!

[ale2003]

bro… that would create race wars… black people should start by cleaning up their neighbourhoods and i don’t mean that in a racist way. After that everything will improve naturally.

[OlderAndWiser]

Separate but equal?

[SeanshterMonster]

Why does race matter in a emergency. Why does it matter at all?

[Sevenpointfive]

@SeanshterMonster black people can run faster. they just don't know where to go.

white people are more likely to help.

[SeanshterMonster]

That's a bit racist.

[noohair]

I don't judge people by skin color. And I never resist the police. That leads to bad outcomes.

[exitseven]

it sounds like a good idea.

[dudegreat91]

No because that could be misused.
