That black Somali immigrant cop is going to get murder 2 for killing that white woman and people are going to hold it up as "see, when it's actually a bad cop they get convicted!"

The problem is these jury trials are revealing a very deep societal problem - an enormous percentage of Americans don't think the police can do anything wrong, ever, if they cite "safety".

Zoro posted:I mean, and I saw this with no endorsement of their actions, but we won't see a court do anything to a cop till he kills a pretty, 18-30 year old white woman. That's the only time we will see any of them go to jail or even the utterance of "police reform" from a centrist. We do, unquestionably, live in a society where it is legally acceptable for a cop to kill a non-white for any reason and that's really nothing new, the same kind of awful pushed forward to another century. You know how the KKK lynch people, these police killings are their new way of doing it and, just like last time, white people think black people are over-exaggerating it and will do nothing. There's a case going on in Arizona where the cops executed a nearly-naked white guy (only wearing boxers) in a hotel hallway while lying on his stomach crawling towards the police, crying and begging them not to shoot, and they apparently have it all on body cam. Even then, people are wringing their hands over "well he didn't follow orders (he was drunk)", or "he was reaching for his waistband behind him (because his boxers were falling off and since he was on his stomach they could see everything anyway)".

I said pretty, 18-30 year old white WOMAN. They always change their tune when it's a white woman. Some weird conservative paternalistic thing mixed with a desire to gently caress the victim. Conservatives have issues.

One of the worst things about my job is that nursing staff by and large is so pro-police that every time someone is goddamned executed by someone with a badge, the copologists immediately crawl out of the woodwork to perform every mental contortion possible to justify the killing.

The cops can straight-up murder a white man and people will still blame the victim for it. Those people don't even begin to pause until its a white woman.

Since you're in an office in suburban St. Louis, telling his superiors will probably get him a promotion and out of your office; thereby solving the problem one way or the other.

I grew up there and I don't even know what I think about that place anymore. I liked it as a kid but its obviously got some serious issues economically, racially and with horrible violence. I was in a medium-sized town on the illinois side that was fairly diverse, but its not that way in general there and some people are such trashy racists....and some people are very liberal. I moved to the west coast of canada about 10 years ago and I just feel so uncomfortable now whenever I go back to St. Louis to visit family.

No Butt Stuff posted:This wasn't a jury trial. I missed that, my apologies - but my point is that it's not even one of those "the entrenched power structure doesn't reflect the will of the people" type of things. Even if it goes to a jury trial, there's a very real chance that nothing a cop can do holds him at fault. We have to break the societal worship of cops and I have no idea how we do that. edit: To make sure - I don't want to diminish the effects of racism on these cases, either. That absolutely exists and a reform of police "danger" attitudes wouldn't solve all (any?) of the racial issues.

I live and work in the Metro East in a pretty diverse neighborhood and, even when I'm at nerd shops, I see and interact with people that don't look like me, and don't share my experience as an affluent cis-het-white-priv-lord, every day. But you go ten miles in any direction here and you're in the cornfield and these cracker mother fuckers are just itching to lynch somebody. There are things in this city that I love. Partly since I've lived here my whole life, but partly because I think they have value. St Louis has too much history to be worth scouring from the maps, even when that history is grim and horrific. But I know I can't stay here. This is the rotting innards of the American Wasteland.
