TBH, this conversation doesn't belong in this discussion. If this was some random black guy who got beat up and lived, that would be a different story. But what the cop did here was completely excusable. This went far beyond the common claims of police brutality.
Obviously arrested because... rap music. This guy should get a jerb and an education or somethin. Stop being a leach on society, STOP RESISTING!
Wow. That really was incredible. I can't possibly address all of this but I'll take a bit of it. All police, of all races, engage pretty much 100% of the time in racial profiling, whether that's their official charge or not. Cops are more suspicious of black people, so they have more black suspects. They spend more time in black neighborhoods and then they arrest more black people. Do you see what I'm saying at all, here? I mean, what comes first, the chicken or the egg? That's a rhetorical question. Don't worry about it. So if you're a repeat offender, even if you're detained to the point you can't be a threat, a police officer should be allowed to choke you to death? Nice enough not to murder someone?
I don’t get the title. So it sucks a man had the life choked out of him, but you are implying his murder In broad daylight is more palatable because he’s been arrested before?
Black people commit 60% of violent crime so yes, there will be more black suspects. You are correct there. Was he being choked? Not really. He was being pressed against the floor for resisting arrest like anyone of any race would be. The fact that he had underlying health issues should have prevented him from committing any crimes in the first place, but you're too afraid to state the obvious. Join the police force, spend 5 years dealing with seemingly innocent situations that go bad, then let me know if you still have the same opinion you do now. You would not.
You know Senator usually when people post the same themes on this board over and over again they tend to get better at it. Their arguments get stronger, more precise. Yours don't for some reason.
I don't hang out in the D&D anymore. The last couple weeks have been my first time in here in years. I'm hoping it will be a brief stay.
Why hasn't this **** stain been banned yet? I get free speech, but we don't need to give a platform to open racists who condone manslaughter.
Palatable? The facts of life are the more you interact with cops in a confrontational manner, the more likely you are to run into problems. You repeatedly break and enter into places, point guns at people, the same old.... yeah this was a "smaller crime", but his initial reaction to the cops stemmed from past incidents. There are racist cops like there are racist doctors, engineers, athletes of all races. But I guess it's ok when Yuli Gurriel does it because he's a minority, right? Black - police confrontations keep happening because an entire community justifies crimes based on slavery ... while other groups accept the past is the past and you are held accountable for your actions today. This cop will be tried and likely convicted, racist cops in the past have been tried and convicted, but the fact is the next incident will still happen because people keep committing crimes and then blaming the police or white people or obama or trump ... it won't matter when you don't check yourself. Isn't that what you would teach your kids?
I'm not here to argue anything - all I do is point out the obvious. You'll always be a loser because you're too afraid to accept it, and that's on you, not me. People who actually want to help can read this thread and see that yeah... things are the way they are for a reason. They'll just step away and let the same toxic community eat themselves from the inside out while acting smug about it. Good luck to you.
The obvious, as has been pointed out before by some of your other beliefs, is that you do not believe in the basic idea of this nation. So now we learn that you are also against due process. For me, personally, this man could have been accused of raping 50 children and he still would deserve his day in court as long as he gave himself up peacefully to the police...and he did.
