It would be ignorant to say police beutality isn't a thing these days But also dont forget that it happens to every race And I don't know how accurate this is but i saw a video the other day that claimed police brutality on white men is way way way more common than the other races Regardless of race or gender its a big problem
there is a host of ways to talk about this. History of white superiority runs thousands and thousands upon thousands of years deep. Its so complex yet simple. Simple is we choose to separate ourselves , yet if wed realize we are all equal in gods eyes.
Thousands of years deep what are you talking about? Ever heard of the dark ages? Whites didn't start with skyscreapers and autmobiles, they rose from the bottom just like other countries did.
Secondly if you think its that bad here you can always leave. But of course you won't because you are exaggerating how bad things are, you know its better here than 90% of countries.
@HonestWhiteGuy.. what am i talking about? The Greek and especially the roman empire. You say i know not what i talk about but you dont. What do i need to leave for my family are natives this land belonged to us.
BLM has been largely hijacked by the Soros crowd and socialists, to push the media agenda. Any real, credible BLM left needs to take their movement back from these hijackers. Because the hijackers have been using BLM's name to also push for pro-ISIS entities within our nation - which shows the degree of sellout to pure evil that the hijackers are willing to do, since ISIS is the single largest enslaver of blacks in the modern world.
Here is part of the tragedy of this. Black lives matter when a black life is lost, justified or not, to a police officer. The heinous rated of black on black murder throughout the USA, the 50% of black babies snuffed out by abortion the 70% of the survivors brought up in single parent homes and the 50% unemployment rate of black youths, aggravated by illegal immigration are ignored by race hustlers and the media.
This is a problem on both sides. There are a few bad apples in every domination. Just like the individual who has shot several officers in Dallas, Texas tonight. I hope he gets justice too #bluelivesmatter
What can be done about it? I agree both those shootings were totally uncalled for. Maybe cops who are having a bad day should be assigned to desk duty for the day. Those particular cops can be prosecuted, perhaps. But look at Baltimore; after the cops were charged in the Freddie Gray case (and so far all acquitted) the police cut back on enforcement in parts of the city, and as a result the murder rate skyrocketed. What is the answer - more training? The last two shootings, in Baton Rouge and Minnesota, were not of gang members or criminals, and occurred in what should have been routine interactions between police and the individuals in question.
I find it funny how most African Americans would much rather keep their internalized problem under the radar, but point the finger to blame any non-black for every misfortune the black community faces.
@StreetLevel Of course I'm racist. Everyone is to a certain extent.
And of course my previous comment offended someone, regardless if no ill intentions. You really think those irrational rioters are worth any more than animals? What good does looting the local businesses do for the community they live in? What kind of impression do you think they make of themselves with their actions.
Call me whatever you want.
What a person confused about what to do should be to be come everything that the BLM movement is not. Rational, level headed, and has control over their emotions.
Well, when you don't follow the orders that the police give you and make threatening moves toward them, you should expect to possibly get shot. They have to try to protect themselves, but then when they do, we always have to play the race card.
in most cases those "threatening gestures" are usually running away or putting up their hands in surrender. I am not sure how someone who is pinned down and handcuffed and outnumbered 10-to-1 can be a threat to an armed and armoured cop with military training. For some people being black is a "threatening gesture"
Well, the problem is that people are still waiting for equality and it's never going to happen. To be successful in a white man's world, folks with browner skin will have to work twice as hard and be twice as compliant to the police.
As a realist, that's the truth. Which is why I'm going to spend my hard-earned money on a master's degree instead of stuff like mansions or sports cars.
Good take. I do agree that violence has gotten out of hand. Violence with violence or any violence is not the answer. Police are meant to protect and a good majority does that. Like in e erything, some take things too far.
When you bring up "black on black crime", you're putting the police on the same level as street thugs and gangbangers, which they are, so keep doing it.
Black lives only matter when they're taken by white police officers. The vast majority of black murder victims are killed by other black people. Despite this overwhelming fact, the only time black people get upset over violence is when it involves a white police officer killing a black person. And it doesn't even matter that 95% of these killing are justified, black people just want to be angry that a white person killed one of their own.
Y'all need to recognize your own hypocrisy about these killings, and y'all need to start conducting yourselves better in interactions with law enforcement.
The 'unarmed man' in the car wasn't actually unarmed, though, was he? He got shot because he was actually reaching for a gun, just like the thug in Louisiana. Keep fucking up with law enforcement and this stuff will keep happening.
That bias, whew. He told the officer he had a legal gun, if you're going to shoot someone why would you tell them you've got a gun dumbass? He was going for the ID the retard cop asked him for.
@StreetLevel LOL get real. No one believes this bullshit anymore, this default racial narrative that a poor, innocent 'honor student' was shot by an evil cop. It always comes out later that the deceased had a gun, was a career criminal, was wanted for various other crimes, and acted aggressively toward police.
if you genuinley think that cops in general are racist, then please explain why the position of law enforcement officer *should* attract racists so much? the media only shows you the examples of arrests that resulted in police brutality, and even then only the ones where the victims happened to be black. if you're still not convinced, go back and look at all the examples of police brutality against black people and tel me how many of the victims resisted arrest and how many didn't.
Oh I'm well aware that media plays a huge part in this. I don't stand for police brutality with any race. Resisting arrest shouldn't equal out to a person losing their life.
To whoever downvoted me, you do realize that two cops are dead, 8 others injured by two snipers at a rally/protest? Their lives matter. So do black peoples', everyone's do
It's common for people on the outside to misinterpret a movement. They think that just because you insist that black lives matter, you don't care about other lives. Not true. I am pro-life and some people think this means I am anti-woman. Not true. I believe homosexuality is morally wrong and some people say this means I hate gay people. Not true.
It is very strange that in the world we live in, color matters more to people then anything else. To me its like , whatever you look like short , fat , tall , green I'll treat you as important as anyone who looks like me.

Black lives matter every day, all day to me.
really. well what about this?

It's funny how all of this just flew completely over your head. You poor, simple minded thing.
And how's is police brutality toward blacks an internal problem fuckwit?
Is there anything we can do because I don't know what to do...
Speak out against. Be heard. Be unapologetic.
@ichot "Monkeys". But let me guess, you're not racist, right?
@StreetLevel Of course I'm racist. Everyone is to a certain extent.

Hard to make threatening moves when you're pinned down eh?
in most cases those "threatening gestures" are usually running away or putting up their hands in surrender. I am not sure how someone who is pinned down and handcuffed and outnumbered 10-to-1 can be a threat to an armed and armoured cop with military training. For some people being black is a "threatening gesture"
Wonderful take I agree this is a serious issue in our society.
Thank you

You're going hard in these comments lol

Black lives matter every day to me. Oh and the cop that killed the unarmed man in the car was Asian. Good day.
The 'unarmed man' in the car wasn't actually unarmed, though, was he? He got shot because he was actually reaching for a gun, just like the thug in Louisiana. Keep fucking up with law enforcement and this stuff will keep happening.
Yes, he was definitely reaching for a gun.
That bias, whew. He told the officer he had a legal gun, if you're going to shoot someone why would you tell them you've got a gun dumbass? He was going for the ID the retard cop asked him for.
And when you bring up "black on black crime", you're equating cops witb street thugs and gangbangers, which they are, so keep doing it.
@StreetLevel LOL get real. No one believes this bullshit anymore, this default racial narrative that a poor, innocent 'honor student' was shot by an evil cop.

Well how many of the officers who killed were suspeneded for unnecisary force?

To whoever downvoted me, you do realize that two cops are dead, 8 others injured by two snipers at a rally/protest? Their lives matter. So do black peoples', everyone's do
Thank you!
@Rocket_Queen the numbers are now 4 dead, 11 injured.
So sad. 😔 If we could all manage to come together it would be great. Unfortunately I'm not sure that will ever happen.
It's common for people on the outside to misinterpret a movement. They think that just because you insist that black lives matter, you don't care about other lives. Not true.

And that's how we should all be
all the Racism is getting really depressing read about in the news.
