Black Lives Matter is an honorable movement and is in no way racist

Am I correct in assuming that you believe all officers to be infallible?

 

So base on your logic you should be nervous talking to anyone regardless of their occupation.

 

Anyone with a gun yes.

 

even if they are carrying legally and passed a psych test?

 

BLM has leadership. It's a quality of leadership that matters.

Gandhi, Mandela, and MLK. Great leaders - generational.

Who are the leaders of PETA, the environmental movement, etc?

What's the difference? Those great leaders understood that to achieve their objectives they would not just have to lead their people, but also control the perception of their cause.

Mainstream media is 90% entertainment and 10% news. But I'm not necessarily saying they should vote for a republican _ I'm saying they have been F'n up voting for democrats.

In my opinion it starts with LBJ getting that single baby mama system rolling. And in 50 years of voting democrat (majority black vote) the black community is worst off and democrats always lay the blame on republicans on why they didn't help. Democrats have been in position to make changes ----> like the changes Obama has made for the LGBT community and illegal immigrants _ and black folks get to start a #blacklivesmatter club.

Clinton locked up more black folks than Nixon and Reagan, and I don't believe Obama is leading the charge to legalize weed. And an argument can be made black folks did better under Reagan than under Obama.

It's obvious they may have been fooled for the past 50 years.

 

Every policeman is carrying legally and passed a psych test, even the ones convicted of murder, manslaughter, official oppression, etc.

Have your parents send you to D&D boot camp, rookie.

 

I would hope that cops are carrying legally. I said anyone.

 

I do wonder with your paranoia of people who hold weapon why did you choose to join the military?

 

What if I told you it was actually part of my training.

 

Strong arguments. I wish I had time to address all your questions and issues but today I don't. Your post is proof that people can disagree civilly. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

 

You have problems if you think cops pull you over for the sole purpose of finding an excuse to pull their gun on you.

 

When did I say this? when you lose an argument you should never start adding things to someone's argument just to try to win. It's better for you just to let it go.

 

Was there an argument or just you repeatedly stating your paranoia?

 

You've been proving wrong not just by me but by other others much like Glendice on several arguments so you come back and you give these snide irrelevant comments to soothe your ego. You are really having trouble in D&D maybe you should stop posting for awhile.

 

You? Since when were you even part of any argument? The only thing from you that even stood out was the incessant stream of remarks about someone's post count.

 

One more point to those of you who insist on minimizing the concern.

Whenever there is a murder or rape committed in a community and the assailant remains at large, the entire community is on alert. If there is a description of the culprit, those who fit that description are automatically regarded as suspicious.

We are that community. And to those who fit the description we remain concerned.

I hope that clears a few things up, but somehow i doubt it.

 

Both the police and military are trained to assume that everyone is a threat in some sort of way. You never know who has a weapon and who doesn't. That's part of the problem with some cops right now. Some who are inexperienced tend to get a little too defensive and overreact at certain situations out of fear. If you have ever experienced racism or have been pulled over for no reason even if it's a lawful stop, it's always in the back of your head, this might be the time when I get a bad cop. The cop may be having a bad day or week just like everyone has. It' s perfectly normal to be nervous when you are pulled over no matter who you are. If you don't get nervous good for you but don't act like it's not normal. Too have someone suggest that a person on this forum is not a police officer because they get nervous when pulled over is ridiculous.

For further reference: Here a link on a police forum where a civilian states he gets nervous when he gets pulled over, among the replies you will see several police officers who say even they get nervous when pulled over, it's normal, stating otherwise is completely naive.

You should be more sad that you believe personal acts happen in a vacuum.

Redlining and reverse redlining feature comparisons of whites and blacks with similar credit histories so your anecdote is just off base.

I won't stand to have you pretend to have had equal application for 240 years and then say, well hey today we're going to have equal application and you guys that have had decades or centuries of abuse will just have to deal with the deeply entrenched economic, social, and governmental results of that. What particularly makes your posts on this board telling is that you have zero interest in an actual equal application of the laws unless it involves programs or movements designed to give even the slightest leveling of a 240 year old playing field with something like affirmative action. You want to maintain the status quo by playing revisionist history, blaming the effects of hundreds of years of brutality and injustice on the personal acts of minorities.

No.

I asked you this.

You said this.

It's a simplistic, rigid response that reveals nothing. Why are people poor? Because they don't earn enough money to exceed the federal poverty line. Mkay.

I would say this qualifies.
