It's a coincidence that minorities tend to have more stories about being handcuffed, having guns pointed at them, and being beat up by police for no reason. The police are just enforcing the laws, you don't know what kind of crazy poo poo these people are up to when they appear to need help, it could be some sort of trap!

Well played.

The problem is when someone voices any opinion that a cop might not be wrong, racism is a first resort. Whether or not that is the case.

Lets get this straight. I don't support cops shooting people because they are black. I support cops doing their job right. I support punishing cops who violate the laws/regulations.

Great example is the University of Cincinnati officer who got rung up for murder charges. He straight up executed a dude for not letting the cop open his door.

On the other hand, when a pack of cops sent 300 plus rounds into a Volvo to kill Adrian Montesano and his accomplice I'm willing to accept that it was a job well done.

The issue here is I don't immediately think that a cop was wrong. I want to know what happened and make a decision based on that. Which has been deemed unacceptable by the echo chamber.




By the by. Thanks in advance for reporting this post because disagreeing with the group think is against the rules.

Is there any chance that this person doesn't get arrested on sight, is given time to confer with his friends to get his story straight, then doesn't get indicted due to the help of a friendly prosecutor, and eventually goes free to harass more cops? No? Then there's nothing to be outraged over. It's never a good thing that someone is murdered, the issue has always been the disparate treatment for cops after the fact.

Justify it? Ok. It sounds like the passenger was going to go to prison for weed. Who should be expected to just accept that?

I don't necessarily subscribe to that view, but it's in keeping with the police apologist response to police violence. "What did you expect? Mess with/talk back to a cop, get murdered/found hanged in jail etc."

Mess with a person who is looking at prison time for a nonviolent offense, and what do you expect?

e: Oh he was on supervised release for robbery as well. Again, what do you expect? Don't mess with felons if you don't want to get murdered.

This is a problem.

You had to go digging through post history, eventually finding a post in another sub forum, to decide that I was racist. You did so because I said that a cop isn't automatically wrong for shooting someone. The circumstances dictate justification or lack of.

But all you focus on is racism that was dug up. Because you have no other voice when someone presents a differing opinion.

It renders every ounce of effort you put out irrelevant. Because all you can do is scream the scarlet R. Rather than admit that possibly, just possibly, sometimes, a cop should shoot someone.

Personally, I'm not crying a river over a cop getting kicked in the shin since apparently the response is to throw someone on the ground so hard they might have gotten a concussion AND THEN thrown in jail for at least three days. Because that seems like a measured and reasonable response to the situation in and of itself.

And Jarmak: I'm not going to lie, the fact that it's so common here that I didn't even REALIZE it was an offense. Like literally did not know you could get pulled over for that.

Jesus Christ, both of you stop with the public jerk offs.

Genocide - Yes, it is wrong to jump to the initial conclusion of racism when a white cop shoots a black unarmed man under suspicious circumstances. The counter point to this is that police have been complicit and actively involved in precipitating racist behavior since the dawn of the 20th century at minimum. This is easily proven through the various reports the DoJustice has run in L. A., Ferguson, and Baltimore to name three off the top of my head.

And that's not even touching the history of cops committing what would be murder if it weren't for the badge, and doing so with little to no reprisal. Thankfully that page is starting to turn, it only took ~50ish unarmed black men being shot in the last year and two cities suffering major riots, and in those last two times the officer was indicted, it took video footage from a bystander and from a body camera to even reach that point.

To everyone else dogpiling him, yes he's an unrepentant racist. That does not inherently render his argument invalid. And the more you keep dogpiling his past posting, the more he's going to double down on you. If you think he's wrong, attack his logic.

They brought up your racism specifically it seems. Which is pretty justifiable in a conversation like this.

You seem to not be understanding that people specifically do not care about your opinion in this discussion because you have unrepentantly made racist remarks. Your opinion is greatly invalidated due to your history, which is known, and which you don't seem to have disputed in any way, other than taking issue with the fact that it was dug up.
