Quite the opposite. There are 1,047 pages posts where cops are automatically Guilty of police brutality and racists thugs only when its fits your narrative. Everyone of them is guilty by this jury sometimes with little information other than a shooting in the Bronx- suspect is dead. Soud the alarms
I guarantee I can find stories everyday where cops are in stand offs with dangerous armed criminals and sit for hours - 5, 10, 20 trying to take a killer or potential killer alive.
Cherry pick the little boy with the toy gun, the black innocent man, the mom who used her kid as a human shield, and on and on. Cops are all trigger happy murderers always. We got black cops killing black cops and we riot.
Not one post about a white guy or a female. Well the one from Australia and that storybdied down.
You love this stuff. Let's dig for every tragedy and thug cop and every time I've posted a cop getting his or hear head blown off sitting in his or her squad
vehicle or blown away at a suspicious traffic stop? Yawn ho-him.
Keep reinforcing all cops are racist and policy brutality is the norm. You resist arrest, youre not getting hugged and kissed. Your ass is getting handcuffed and it ain't pretty. Its called force. Sometimes poeople are hyped up on drug irrational with incredible
Strength, going biserko, and we only see the take down. Three bastard racists overcoming a screaming innocent man. This is bullshit. Not saying it's always the case but in your eyes it is always the case.
There are good cops and they save lives every day. They are in their communities and people want them there.. This place is a for people who love to post with glee! Who can't dig the most dirt and publicize A tragedy, declare the cops a bastard with a news story. Guilty. The end.
It's all here. This is a wall of hate.
No one here disputes most of what you say.
No one here thinks that police don't have a dangerous job.
No one here thinks that police in general are bad people.
No one here thinks that use of force isn't sometimes necessary.
Which is why of the 963 police shootings in 2016, only a handful drew the ire of the public.
What we rail against is:
- a documented trend that use of force (especially deadly force), disproportionately affects people of color.
- the culture of law enforcement is not of of transparency and justice, but victim blaming and protecting their own
- the justice system itself is stacked against poc
- the threshold for an agent of the state to be able to take someone's life without recourse is shockingly low (especially when it comes to the lives of poc)
- that often, officers should be the ones (and trained) to deescalate not escalate situations.
Also - getting handcuffed is a far cry from getting shot.
you complain of cherry picking - but if an officer had actually been charged and convicted for shooting that little boy, that man asking for help after a car wreck, that man looking at a bb gun in a store, there wouldn't be the outcry.
There were 64 police deaths in 2016, and that is a huge tragedy. But of those 64, how many of their killers weren't even charged? Was justice done? It's not that fact that police kill people that receives the most vitriol - it's that they can do it with impunity, especially when it comes to the lives of poc. I'm am scared to death of the day my son gets his drivers licence. And before you respond with "he'll be fine because you'll raise him right," that is an incredible affront to the black mothers that I know that raise incredible young men who still get pulled over and harassed.
