cops probably shouldn't have guns and they definitely shouldn't be trying to maintain control of every situation because they just wind up looking like the fat bald uneducated idiots that they are. like...maybe just let the black kids play in the white people pool instead of bodyslamming a 13 year old, or maybe let the guy just stand on the side of the street selling loosies instead of choking him the gently caress to death. why would they want to be in control of those situations, who even cares? nobody is being harmed.

police are literally killing more unarmed US citizens than isis. at least isis doesn't gently caress up filming their executions.

I watched a video where officers threatened, tazed, and peppered sprayed a dude having a stroke in his car. Then he fell out of the driver's seat and the car ran over his foot. 5/5 please keep these coming, good stuff.

black violent crime rates are way out of proportion to their population too but that doesn't make the news because it really interferes with the racist cop outrage porn narrative

At this point it's like getting mad that the news emphasizes missing white women over dead black women. The news doesn't rank stories based on their objective severity.

so the media won't report on blacks killing each other, but they also won't report on the cops killing the poor. except they are reporting on cops killing poor blacks which is what you were whining about. klansmen such as yourself will just have to adapt to the existence of smartphones.

There are also other shows about police that I haven't watched, like CSI: Miami and Brooklyn 99. I haven't watched them, but I already know one thing about them: the camerawork is probably better than the cop shows I keep seeing posted on Facebook, and you can always clearly see if the guy had a gun or whatnot.

its legal to have a gun in america but it just also happens to be legal for police to execute you if you're found with one and this also makes it legal for police to execute you if they think you have one, whats the big deal?

I think we should show lots of pictures to cops of really weird rare poo poo, like, cow tools, and we should tell them, about the cow tools, "that's a gun, that's what a gun looks like and you can shoot a guy if he has one of those things" and then they won't shoot anyone, because nobody has a cow tool, and everything will be fine.

I know people are angry at the cops for killing black people but Maynard James Keenan of the band TooL once said "So I've got some advice for you little buddy, before you point your finger you should know that I'm the man. If I'm the fuckin' man, then you're the fuckin' man as well, so you can point that fuckin' finger up your rear end." I guess if more black people listened to Tool they;'d know that they're the real cops and they could arrest all the fake cops and shoot them before anything bad happens.

googling cops killing disproportionate number of blacks gives page after page of headlines

googling cops killing disproportionate number of poors gives no such headlines

ROME DID NOT HAVE ROBOTS, FUCKWIT

quote:

Indeed, according to recent data from the U.S. Department of Education, black children are 3.6 times more likely to be suspended from preschool than white children. Put another way, black children account for roughly 19 percent of all preschoolers, but nearly half of preschoolers who get suspended.

One reason that number is so high, Gilliam suggests, is that teachers spend more time focused on their black students, expecting bad behavior.
Seems like the converse explanation works a little better here.

Like, this (pertaining to test cases of four children who in fact did nothing wrong):

quote:

The Yale team also asked subjects to identify the child they felt required the most attention. Forty-two percent identified the black boy, 34 percent identified the white boy, while 13 percent and 10 percent identified the white and black girls respectively.
certainly wouldn't explain a 3.6-fold disparity based on expectations alone.

I love when people chime in to these threads with "Yeah but more white people get killed by cops every year". Jeeeeeeezus christ bucko, do you genuinely not know to adjust statistics based on population demographics or are you intentionally picking misleading statistics to make your bigoted bullshit look like it's 'backed up by facts'?

Also helldump coming back is a good thing, anyone who doesn't like it is a loving piece of poo poo coward, not unlike an american cop.
