Can of worms but I just found out how racist been Franklin really was.

Bury your heroes.

This kind of poo poo is baked into our politics and we must denounce bigotry in all its forms throughout our history, so that we can acknowledge the cost in human suffering our country came at, and attempt to make this right for the generations that follow.

Don't @ me with your defense of slavery and racism throughout history white people. You benefited from it tacitly.

You missed the point. Don't elevate your historical figures to mythical status and overlook their faults too long to remember they were only human.


And that the effects of racism are long lasting and generational.

But what does it say about 2019 that a major studio, in Warner Brothers, and an indie company, in Gravitas Ventures, are both releasing on the same day similarly themed movies about aggrieved white men who resort to violence when the world does not provide them with the appreciation they think they deserve? Both movies are described as “cautionary tales,” which is to say: They warn viewers about the dangers of men like Arthur Fleck and “Ronnie,” but a “warning” presupposes we can do something about that danger. Aside from massive gun control and mandatory mental health screenings, how do you stop a guy like Arthur Fleck, except to give them what they want, which veers into Jordan Peterson “enforced monogamy” territory. You don’t want men like Arthur Fleck or Ronnie to resort to mass violence? Then f*ck them, stop calling them out on their white privilege, and tell them they are the geniuses they think they are.

I’m all for exploring the “human condition,” but what kind of cautionary tale is that? One that demands we appease aggrieved white men lest they turn into the Joker? Seems like a pretty sh*tty message in 2019. But I’m sure that Joaquin Phoenix is grea

It just seems the police are afraid of getting punished for killing people, because they consider it a part of their job.

This is problematic and police departments historically racist organizations; we are only a generation or two removed from the civil Rights movement.

We need to cut out the white nationalists that hide behind "locker room talk" and a complicit Justice system that protects it's members better than it protects the Citizens of the United States.

So yes, I'm quite positive every cop, even by the book, just and kind cops, turn plenty of blind eyes to alarming behavior from friends, at best, or are willing accomplices to stacking the deck against minorites, particularly Blacks, Hispanics, sex workers, and the mentally ill.

Nobody is kidding themselves that violent, armed revolution is immediately around the corner. In the meantime I feel relatively powerless to do anything about the uniform culture. Police unions and the thin blue line will always protect their own, so change isn't going to come from within. The judicial and legislative bodies that should have oversight over policing bodies are also complicit in advancing this culture instead of stomping it out, as is their duty. As a civilian I cannot change internal police culture and don't feel that I can elect persons who care to or are able to change police culture. I have no desire to run for office. The best effort I can give is activism, and warning others that the people in uniforms are not there for the safety of the public any more.

Learn who your judges and sheriffs were before you vote for them.

Vote for minorites and those that fight for the Rights of minorites.

1) No more DoD freebies for police departments

2) Vets get in line with everyone else trying to apply (because I know banning vets from being cops will not happen)

3) BA in some kind of relevant field required

4) National standards/policies for all departments
4a) Federal oversight for all PDs (no idea what this looks like)

5) Bring back residency requirements

6) No individual department may have a SWAT team (to reserve then for real SWAT situations)

7) Make all policing community policing. Get out of the cars and learn people's names

8-999) Other things I haven't thought of

Cops will never change themselves if they do not get rid of white nationalists.

"You will not replace us," literally their statement that implies they are not going anywhere and are embedded everywhere.

Huh so there is an issue that cops are willing to take a stand on. Too bad its not one involving actually doing their jobs and protecting the public but it's to be expected

I find it more ironic for all police culture's lip service to selflessness, that the police chose to not be police anymore when there was no money in it.

I don't blame them really.

It should take more than reciting a single phrase over and over to justify a police homicide.

I think that police ought to be given less carte blanche authority to kill and harass the poor for non violent crimes.

I think police should have to assess the danger properly before just shooting at their fellow citizens.

I understand that makes your job harder. I don't care. gently caress your pension and poo poo.

Police involvement is a liability to everyone else.

You guys robbed yourselves of goodwill decades ago.
