Cops are Terrorists

[Alcott]

I.. you are innocent until proven guilty.

By Tapeworm's analysis, Hitler was innocent because he never went to trial. so with bin laden, George Custer, John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, the 2 Herods, Nero, the Korean that shot up VA Tech,....

Cops are the terrorists in our neighborhood: On Freddie Gray, another victim of police brutality

...
America is in a state of emergency. I’m not sure why I don’t see the president setting our terrorist level at bright orange, because the story of a cop killing an innocent black person surfaces every week. It’s important that we use the term “innocent” when describing these victims because in America, you are innocent until proven guilty and these slain African-Americans aren’t getting their day in court. There’s so may cop killings in the news right now that I’d be surprised if any black person stopped on command* — black bodies are piling up, and I can’t even keep up with the names anymore.

Lately I’ve been having that cop talk a couple times a week with my nieces, nephews, or with young people at high schools and middle schools. The convo goes the same way every time. I start out by saying, “Your lives matter. I swear to god they do!” I have to reiterate this as much as possible, because society is telling a different story.

Then I tell them I know every time they check the news or log on to Twitter or Instagram or Facebook or WorldStar, they are seeing people that look just like them being gunned down as if they aren’t human by police officers — and many times, those officers get away, but despite that, you do matter. The fact that similar videos surface of white officers like Jesse Kidder of Ohio trying their best to not shoot dangerous white men weakens my claim.

But still I tell them that they matter, even though our legal system is obviously lopsided. I tell them they are human and the problem is that many of these officers don’t understand that. They are part of a long history of Americans who don’t see value in African and African-American life, leading all the way back to the days of slavery when it was legal to treat blacks as subhuman. Back when our own American legal system identified black people as being three-fifths of a human.

I tell them most of these officers who are committing these murders are scared, racist and ignorant, so it’s up to you to understand, because those cops will never understand or care about you. I tell them to master their perspectives and understand what cops are thinking when they see you — because your life could depend on it. The consequence of not understanding police officers is death.

BTW... where is the Freddie Gray autopsy?

Is the prosecutor hiding evidence?

 

[righteousdude2]

That orange tip at the end of the barrel makes all the difference.

Some kids remove to tip. If it can't be removed they paint it black. Looks quite real to you when you have fractions of a second to respond in order to assure you are going home at the end of your shift to hug your kids and kiss the wife.

Some kids remove to tip.

Then they have put themselves at risk.

Toni Morrison wants to see a white teenager shot

"Author and Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison caused controversy when she said recently she wants to see a police officer shoot an unarmed white teenager in the back. Only then will she agree that the conversation about race is over. But Morrison’s wish is already a reality."

“This is the conversation. I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back,” said Ms. Morrison. “And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman. Then when you ask me, ‘Is it over?’, I will say yes.”

Those comments reflect a common view that black Americans are systemically targeted by the police. However, analysis released over the weekend shows that more white people die at the hands of law enforcement officers than any other race.

Absolutely correct. Do away with 'em all.

But ... what do we do about enforcing laws? What do we replace them with?

People used to police their own neighborhoods. So yes, do away with them all. They've become nothing but vigilantes with badges.

As there are a whole lot more white people committing, numerically, a whole lot more crime than any other skin color, that's a silly analysis to have wasted money .

Now how many of these white people killed by LEOs have been unarmed?

 

[annsni]

Dillon Taylor
Gilbert Collar
Tony Robinson, Jr.

Regardless, it shows that Whites are every bit as likely to be shot in an encounter with a police officer as Blacks are. And while we're talking about silly, that was a pretty silly analysis that Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison made.

Race pimps aren't interested in facts.

Race pimps aren't interested in facts.

They think they already know them.

Marilyn is trying to get a protective order for the autopsy she said would clear things up. Doesn't look good, that autopsy must indicate something against their case and the defense will have discovery . . . she is biding for time.

What's so bad in the report that she's stonewalling? Heroin in the system, an indication of self-inflicted wounds, an overdose? Nifong-like with regards to competency and honesty.

 

[targus]

Time will tell. The truth comes out in the end.

True, but how many lives will be destroyed before then?

'Course I realize that to the liberals that is of ZERO consequence as long as their agenda is advanced.

 

[Rolfe]

I do not think that they care about facts. The professional baiters are interested in their income and fame, and I would gamble that most of their Dupes would welcome reparations.

I'm assuming the bolded is pure trolling. Otherwise it is indefensably broad-brushed. As for the 1st sentence, be careful what you wish for. While neighborhood vigilance can be helpful, neighborhood vigilante-ism would lead to a whole lot of George Zimmermans out there.

What she is doing is illegal and un-American. She should be in prison.

It seems like inner city black neighborhoods are more like to be terrorized by black gangs than by cops.

Seems that white neighborhoods are more likely to be terrorized by white gangs of a different sort that get the benefit of white privilege.
