Honestly he doesn't look native at all to me. He might be, but he definitely doesnt look it. He looks more like Gabriel iglesias if he had lost a few pounds.
That's all fine and dandy. Like I said he just doesn't look native to me, I never said he wasn't native. Maybe I just haven't seen enough Obijwe people or whatever, but I've seen plenty of Cherokee and Maeti so that's what I basw my general idea of what native persons look like.
in hispanic places ( new mexico/the south west) we don't have blacks, and most dudes are chill and joined the police to make their mom/tias/abuelitas proud and help the community.
Honestly no idea, I'd imagine its some kind of skit. pretty dumb to go pointing a large caliber revolver at a cop car if they aren't in on it. no cop in sight either just the two behind the car.
the only thing what bothers me about police brutality is the fact that Police - "man" even beat up women and lil chicks with full force.. i mean i hate women too but even for sexist like me thats over the top... say what u want, but there is something completely wrong with the US police officers! the word combination Police-Brutality exists for a reason
Thanks for the callout and the backup.
Look, I'm happy to talk to people and to, you know, explain things, but the deal is that I only like doing that for people where it will make a difference. The anon up there isn't going to read my comments, and it seems that darthtomale already has his head shoved so far up CopBlock's ass that he can't see, hear or even smell any part of the actual truth.
well go ahead and enlghten me. tell me what having a sheriff's deputy for a father for 20 years until he died of liver cancer related to agent orange poisening he got from his time in vietnam couldnt tell me.
That's my l exactly my point. You have some knowledge or experience which you think makes you an expert and entitles you to an opinion. You've made up your mind already and because you consider yourself an expert, nothing that anybody else says is going to change your opinion. If you want to learn something, take a step back, admit that your opinions might be wrong and seek out actual experiences and education.
if anyone here needs to take a step back its you. i provideds links and studies from universities and and not one from any social media bs. one song to sort of sum up the experience.
but you hold the keys to all awareness and people that disagree with you apparently dont know anything.
Sorry, maybe you don't eat cop block ass. That was an assumption on my part because you do the same thing they do: cherry pick and take incidents, stats out of context, then bombard people with your opinion.
I'm not interested in continuing this conversation, for reasons mentioned above. If you have an interest in expanding your knowledge (rather than just spreading your opinion) go take a citizen academy, do a few ride alongs, take a few criminal justice classes. Or, hell, put in an application and come be the change you want to see in law enforcement. God knows we need more officers.
ey bud no need 4 booty hurt. all im saying is there are documented cases where entire towns criminal justice system have been deemed by the doj as money making schemes.
what im saying is the police are not perfect. because there are so many police officers and incidence we need to be looking into keeping corruption out. the rhetoric from you and people like you is far too biased because it never includes these corrupt incidences. as far as you tell the public all police are completely without flaw and that is far from the truth
refusing to acknowledge them/ lying about them/ covering them up/ telling general citizens they are too stupid to understand reality is not conducive to solving these issues.
"Police aren't prefect." No **** . Last I checked, nobody is perfect. So what are you gong to do about it? Do you have any logical, real world solutions to the problems of policing in the US? Of course you don't. Why? Because that would require knowledge of law, of social dynamics, of history, of economics, of psychology and of police culture. Knowledge that you can't acquire by reading articles on the internet over a couple of weeks as you jump on the anti-police bandwagon. So, in instead, you cherry pick incidents and misrepresent facts and use that as your justification to point your finger, assign blame, incite hate and further divide people.
If you think there are problems in policing, you're right. If you think you can solve those problems by posting a clever image on the internet, you're not only wrong, but you're actively contributing to the problems.
if you think im talking about the (seriously far far far too long to explain) solution(s) to police brutality then you should read anything i wrote.
im just here to show peeps that there are several hundred cases per year where the police abuse their power. so when someone says that theyve been brutalized by the police people like you dont say "you should take a course and stop whining and kiss my piglet ass"
maybe just maybe public education about the dangers of corrupt police could do something.
and know you know and knowing is a percentage of the overall solution to the problem. some even say its up to 50%
if you want to get into trading ideas about what you think could ultimately put a damper on police abusing their power obviously you have a first person perpective that would be extremely helpful in the conversation but because you only begrugingly accept the fact that not every police officer rinses their dick in holy water and some actually use their positions to destroy peoples lives whether knowingly or not then you are ultimately NOT useful in that conversation
Hundreds of incidents of police brutality per year? Okay, here is my problem. You claim that there are hundreds of incidents per year. Let's round that up and say 1,000. Know what? **** it, let's call it 50,000 unlawful incidents of police brutality per year.
There are approximately 800,000 sworn law enforcement officers in the us, providing service to about 350 million people. Let's say that only 1/4 of those officers are working at any given time, and let's totally under-estimate and say that each officer has only one citizen contact per shift (in reality, it's more like dozens). That would include everything from interviewing a victim to writing a ticket, doing CPR, making an arrest and even unlawfully brutalizing somebody. That gives you 200,000 law enforcement contacts per day x 365 days in a year, or 73 million contacts per year. Our absurd overestimation of 50,000 incidents of brutality account for 0.07% of our extremely underestimated number of police contacts per year. Which works out to about 1 in 1,428. Compare that to common causes of death ( www.medhelp.org/general-health/articles/The-25-Most-Common-Causes-of-Death/193?page=3 ) and remember, we're not talking about police killing you, just brutalizing you. With this estimation, the chances of being brutalized by the cops are somewhere between your chances of dying in a fire or dying on the operating table. Yet there is no campaign claiming that firefighters and doctors are corrupt and causing an epidemic of deaths. Nobody protests in front of the fire station and chants "I can't breathe," nobody says " **** the Docs" and nobody ambushes and murders firefighters or doctors just for doing their jobs.
TL;DR: the so-called epidemic of police violence is a myth. You want to end police brutality? Teach people to respect cops.
