It shouldn't be championed, history shows that the authorities will try to sabotage protests by painting them as violent retalliation. If you stand for retalliation you're doing a disservice to BLM. Farrakhan is standing for retaliation and I think you'd have a tough time second-guessing his long term success and prominence in the black community. White folks sure hate him though.

James Blake, retired tennis player and Harvard educated black man was tackled to the ground and cuffed by 5 officers. Turns out that he wasn't the guy they were after and, yet again, the only descriptor needed to arrest a black suspect is the colour of their skin. https://twitter.com/search?q=james+blake

Rosa Parks was chosen from a pool of possible defendants because she was the most unassailable and relateable. There were several people before her arrested for refusing to give up bus seats, and one teen was convicted on a trumped up charge of assaulting the police who arrested her, which sounds super familiar. And yeah, of course there were people pulling the same "Well if they don't want (horrific consequence way out of proportion with the offense), then they shouldn't break the law" poo poo. Edit: Whoops, thought I was responding to the latest posts, but I wasn't even close.

http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/9/america-needs-more-female-cops.html When David Kassick, an unarmed 59-year-old, was fatally shot by a Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, police officer during a routine traffic stop in early February, his case barely registered a blip on the national radar. By then, nearly 100 other Americans had already lost their lives at the hands of police since the beginning of the year. But Kassick’s case departs from what has become a tragically common narrative. For starters, the cop who shot him was charged with criminal homicide — a rarity in such scenarios. Even rarer is that the officer accused of firing two bullets into his back while he was lying facedown on the ground is a woman. She is one of only two female cops ever to face a murder charge in the U.S. for killing a suspect while on duty, according to available data and independent research. The chances of getting shot by a female cop are slim, and it’s not just because there are so few women in police departments. Data show that female cops discharge their firearms at rates far below their male counterparts, face significantly fewer civilian complaints and are less likely than men to resort to unnecessary physical force when arresting someone.

SedanChair posted:Why would they be upset? Is there any reason for them to be upset? Is there any reason for them to feel sadness when police die? Farrakhan and the NoI are loving weird and loving complicated. He is a big step up over Elijah Muhammad (congratulations) but he is sometimes a shithead, sometimes a visionary, often does great work in the black community, and is almost always a bit strange. I cannot support pricetag violence, but if there is a community in the US where it is least inappropriate, it is African Americans. (It is still very bad outside of maybe, MAYBE riot catastrofuck contexts)

Edit: I get the whole establish control bit, but at least give the person the chance to comply before tossing them to the ground. I'd guess that most people will. You can tell he didn't struggle or fight at all, and that is with a non uniform officer. If some guy just came up and randomly threw me around I'd probably be fighting back like crazy. Even if they said they were a cop I'm not sure I'd simply comply without some good hard proof. Pohl fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Sep 12, 2015 |

Pohl posted:After all of the face plant videos I've seen recently, that seems fairly mild. A plainclothes police officer just sprinting up and grabbing someone with little or no identification seems like a really good way for them to get shot by someone with a legally carried handgun. Or even "funnier", a uniformed officer mistakes the undercover cop making an aggressive arrest for an assault and is also badly trained so he just impulsively magdumps at his fellow officer.

Well, other than charging victims before either they plead to a lesser charge or charges are just dropped. Good thing this minority has resources.

Staten Island is the worst part of this whole goddamn city. Filled near to the brim with over privileged reactionary racist assholes, where just about everyone is either a cop. the friend of a cop or the family member of a cop. So god forbid you offer criticism of police behaviors without them jumping down your throat accusing you of hating cops and wanting their family/friends to die. It's like living in the worst parts of this thread only every day.
