Illegal Arrest, Homicide and Manslaughter. 6 Officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray

Only reason these officers were charged with anything because half of them are black. If they were all white…

Try telling that to the average person, they believe racism died for some reason (Obama, the Israeli puppet).

It’s obvious that all lives matter. Saying all lives matter is taking away the focus on the racism of blacks. Whites aren’t the ones getting shot all up. The blacks are. So introducing all other ppl when they aren’t even apart of the situation is pretty messed up. By saying all lives matter, you are yet again ignoring the problems that blacks are facing. And drowning the blacks out as if they dont matter. Hence the statement.

I see your point, but I am not ignoring the problem. I am well aware of their problem. Blacks have been unfairly discriminated against by the government and society for hundreds of years. For them, slavery did not really end, it just changed form.

The link title speaks for itself.

lol @ the narrative set for some photos, which took some creative “interpretation” by the author. I’m pretty sure #.1 was a streetwise kid trying to sell bottled water, not giving them away for free as the caption is suggesting.

The photos of the volunteer cleanup of the city was nice though, respect.

I don’t understand that if protesters riot, why not vandalize the police station instead of local stores you have to go to everyday? That part never made sense to me.

because if they did, the police would respond with deadly force on the spot. half of it is fear, the other half is taking advantage.

Because they are pussy’s. Arm up and shoot some pigs you coward ass motherfuckers.

Thoughts?

Do numbers paint the full picture or just tell you where to look for answers?

What if any is the correlation with violence and deaths does social class play?
Do blacks in higher social class commit as many murders as whites in the same social class?
Do whites die more by police compared to blacks because they are more likely to be armed?
Do the figures that show violent confrontations with police officers take into account which party escalated the situation?

We’ve seen it numerous times reported that officers have been found to have lied on their official report once video footage showed up - but is it so widespread to skew these results? (I guess we’d never really be able to answer that until body cams become more widespread).

I personally do not think figures can tell you everything, you’d need to look far deeper at why these numbers exist otherwise you are not analysing anything, people are forming conclusions without any further exploration. The video is definitely food for thought.

The video is actually right, because he suggests that other very obvious reasons lead to violent crimes among black people, rather than the color of their skin.

police are so shook they are pepper spraying people pulling guns in Bodymore riots

3 of the 6 officers are black. KRS-One told you niggas:

Funny that none of those black officers were on tape and it took that long to show a photo of all six of them. Sounds like bullshit to me.

Her lips are waaaaaay too blue.

Why are they spying on Baltimore now? if they wanted to bring in news planes, then bring it. What do they want to get that they don’t want people knowing that they are getting? FBI huh? Trying to get your boy off the hook? Do you need to air drop some “evidence” to help clear his name? Just wondering.

Tried not to be too angry, disgusted and appalled. But still.

This is the most racist video I’ve seen coming out of these whole Baltimore riots stuff. I may actually watch the Bill O’ Reilly video to see if he topped this.

Straight to the point- police have been violent to black people in America since slavery . Freedom Riders were met with violence from police (and others) for non-violent ‘crimes’. Martin Luther King Jr’s peaceful protests were met with violence by the police.

… I’ve gone from being angry to just resigned to the fact that people are gonna have views like this person’s. Cool. Whatever. I’m not even going to finish the point above because I’m tired and quite frankly, people aren’t interested. I’m not even going to continue directly talking against this video.

I’ll just say, in the end, we’re all people. There are issues that may be more prevalent in different races, genders, nationalities, religions and so on. But if we are truly at the point where a fucking hashtag and broken windows can cause some people to be more upset than actual people dying, then fuck it.

Not going to change the world behind a fucking keyboard anyway. Don’t need to be exposing myself to this sort of aggravation. We’re already divided enough as it is.

I meant to comment on this mediocrity days ago. I guess i forgot.

Well, i guess to simplify my reply to this video. I would ask, whats the point of this video. "Its to clear up the narrative of the innocent black person in america, as if there isnt a reason theyre more involved in violent confrontations with police, and disproportionately are involved in many violent crimes. "

Ya, THAT REASON ISNT SIMPLY BECAUSE THEYRE BLACK. The problem with videos like this is it looks at a result, and not the cause. We do this a lot as a species. I do it myself often at times, but am usually self aware enough to know when im doing it, and either own up to it, or recant my bullshit. Yes, black people disproportionately make up a lot of crime in certain areas in this country, and they are also… ugh, i mean, do i have to explain black american history again.

Do we not get this by now. Do we not understand the centuries of slavery, racism, and ongoing systemic oppression of a people based on their skin color. Do we not see the global influence of this systemic racism, all the way down to the fucking bible. Your fucking jesus isnt even portrayed as the skin tone, and hair texture he is suppose to have, and we’re making videos about essentially black people needing to stfu, cause its your fault. So again i ask, okay guy who googled fbi facts, now what. YOU GOT US. Black men and women in low income areas generally tend to be single parents, more violent, less educated, etc… Shocker. Someone give this man a masters in psychology and economics.

I dont think white people are afraid to point out statistics. Its just that theyre inappropriate to bring up if it doesnt relate to that matter at hand. What crime did freddie gray commit besides running, and then happening to have a knife on him. What crime did he commit that deemed 80 percent of his spine end up being severed, for apparently god knows what reason. There are countless cases of this happening, and its clearly happening disproportionately more to use then anyone else. Killed over cigs. Killed at your bachelor party in nyc for doing nothing. Harassed by cops almost everyday, even when the owner of the store tells you, this kid works and sleeps here, hes a little fucking mentally handicap and im helping him. Killed because some dude is allowed to stalk you as a citizen, confront you, and assume youre committing a crime because your black, and not complying to a stranger. The list goes on.

How convienant to talk about RACIST facts, and ignore the bail set for a young man breaking a cop car window is higher than any of the officers with a multitude of charges against them for the death of freddie gray. That right there is the systemic racism that has infuriated people in this country, and especially black people in this country, as we’re more in touch with it now then we have ever been.

The thing about this video is that there is no need for it. This is a video based on insecurity, and fear. “A black sub culture that encourages violence”. So are all these predominately white movies, tv shows, and sub genres of music that promote sexism, violence, greed, etc… , “A white sub culture that encourages violence”? No, there is no such thing, just like there is no such thing as white comedy, white movies, or white tv shows, but there are black comedies, black tv shows, and black movies.

Any video giving you such a general narrative of such complex issues should obviously always be ignored, because i assure you black crime isnt any more out of control in middle to upperclass predominately black neighborhoods, than white ones.

Trust there are millions of poor white people ready to throwdown or do some wild shit just like a random poor black dude from miami-dade county. Only difference is the system seems to still favor them more when theyre caught doing the same exact crimes black people are caught doing.

**Calm down with your racism against you black people, its a myth. Yeah, that rich white teenager got off with driving drunk, speeding, and killing his friends and a family in another car, because of his affluenza, but black people, you can get affluenza too, you just gotta use your power when you have it. This is mostly about classism, not racism. Racism and “hard” prejudice barely exist these days guys. You too can, murder people while drunk and speeding down a highway, and go to a comfy rehab in cali, youre just selling yourselves short, and buying too much into the propaganda of racism. Silly black people, just obey the cops, and you will be fine, like that guy who commented on the poop a cop was scraping off his shoe, saying it stunk, and then they booked him for disorderly conduct, then lured him into an alley, and beat the shit out of him OUTSIDE OF THE PRECINCT for no reason. One of them also got to keep his job for now, and likely will keep it until he quits.

Oh wait, thats not a good example. hmmmm**
