Cuz in more than half the assault and robbery situations, it’s a non-black person defending themselves from a black guy, or it’s a cop handling a black perpetrator. We’re only about 12% of the population, but we lead in violent crime, both against ourselves and white people.
Even in that J Crawford Video, nobody was around him and HE POINTED THE GUN AT NO ONE. The cops were completely in the wrong and if memory serves me cops are trained to descalate situations if possible first.
There are and always will be racial undertones. This country was built off enslavement and racism. It began with it and will end with it. All races other than Caucasian have a right to feel that way just off what has been done to minorities in this country by police and people on power who have not looked oit for the benefit of ALL people.
Hell you can get on a forum on Facebook and see all the racist assholes come out and then white people try to act like it don’t exist. Police are as far from Pro-Life as anything I have ever seen…at least in the US, Cops in other countries don’t behave like this.
Matter fact if those people in power keep saying we need to better train our people why have they kept repeating the same training instead of doing something about it? New cadets get taught the bad habits. The current cops who are too involved with the old system ways are continuing to do the same shit. I live in Fort Worth, Texas for the longest time this year new rookie cops were accidentally shooting and killing people and you expect people to feel safe?
I wish color and social status could just be wiped off the face of existence and everyone is united as people not color pallet or financial status but thats a wish in a reality of stupidity.
I also feel like Black people need to get off there asses and start becoming more involved with police departments and government. Complaining about the shit isn’t changing it. Take those jobs and positions and be the difference. That will slow down a lot of this and make dealings with the police and government better. Its a fact, Don’t remember the guys name but a long time ago a Hispanic kid was killed unjustly by a white cop. Protests and the later case led to more changes on the police force and a RUSH of Hispanic cops made there ways on to Police forces. This has helped with thd race relations that had plagued the Hispanic community during those times…
I don’t believe all cops are bad or evil, I don’t believe all white men do is wait for the next black man to fuck up to off him, but truth be told this has got to stop and facts and research show profiling is a thing and a problem.
That’s the other thing about police work: blacks are underrepresented as regular police officers. LOTS of black Detention Deputies working at the jails, though. My friends heard I was applying for a job with the sheriff’s office back in 2002, and suddenly half my black friends started acting like they always had some other place to be when I was around or called them, even though they weren’t criminals. The black community’s “Cops are evil” trope had kicked in. When they found out I was only applying for a Detention Deputy position, not as a regular officer who goes out and arrests people and shit, suddenly everything was ok again. I suspect this same thing is why there are more white and hispanic cops than black. Become a cop, and no other black people trust you. Sadly, the opening was filled before my concealed weapons permit arrived. That shit would have doubled my income, and the jail is less than 10 minutes from home.
At this point, there is no other choice but to make psuedo generalism because i am speaking from the statistic. A high % of the top crime areas are black populated, that’s not being racist that is just stating the facts. If we don’t tell it as it is (speaking from the statistics as our basis) then they will never learn. There are plenty of great black people, no doubt… i’m actually half black… however that does not eliminate the fact that the majority of our crime areas are black populated areas. Another reason why speaking from the statistics is the best option is because of the retarded race card that is played. Maybe if the majority of those “gangstaz” get it in their head that they are being arrested due to breaking the law and not due to being colored, maybe we can start fixing potential great areas like Camden, Brownsville, etc… It isn’t ignorance when the statistics back it up, it is just plain denial to label it as just “mere-hate” for no reason at all. Only black people can cure black people, it is time that the real good black people start talking to niggaz because if any other race does it is viewed as “racism”. Powerful black people like Oprah need to stfu and stop fooling the world that people still hate their color, powerful/good black people need to influence the black community stop being niggaz.
In your statistics, do you factor in institutional racism put in place by society and legislators that still exist today? You know, such as white families finding a way to legally take their tax dollars away from a district because black families started going there and putting it into another district where they also managed to make the buses run into their neighborhoods only? This was happening in 2014. Or predatory lending practices that kept black families in poverty that was only made illegal in 2010?
Just asking, because I don’t think you are and while you may say those don’t lead to a life of crime I don’t see many other options left besides making shit money in minimum wage jobs. But hey, that’s just me. I’m a whole picture type of guy before making my opinion known.
lol they stopped counting the number of people police shot because it was making them look bad.
Also the stats are BS anyway. Whenever I get stopped, I ask for a warning. It’s pretty rare that I get stopped, but, they mark race on there. I have, every time I’ve been given a warning, been marked down as “Caucasian.” I can assure you, I am not white. They mark everyone as white though so they can pretend they aren’t racially profiling on the stops in the first place. When they’re actually going to charge you, and especially for something more than say a speeding ticket, then maybe they’ll mark you as a minority so they can claim minorities commit more crimes, and are just a fraction of total stops.
It’s obvious BS. There is no way to fight that though and the cops will fight the insinuation tooth and nail, their apologists will of course jump in to agree. But when they lie on something as obvious as that, how can anyone trust them on anything else that is going to be harder to catch them lying on?
