I have to admit that as time goes on and this protesting keeps going, even though I feel its a bullshit case, if some change comes out of this to the way pigs deal with people then Im all for it. Bottom line, pigs are out of control and if this is the catalyst to some change then so be it.
You can pick cases all day long that show white cops on black people and you can pick cases that have black cops on white people. Im sure some are race driven but I think its more of just a power hungry, trigger happy police force that need to be dealt with. They need to be treated the way civilians are treated.
I think one of the biggest problems is how they get off scott free in courts. I dont think I have ever seen a cop get more then 2 years in jail and for some serious crimes. One cop I read about was running around pulling over women and sticking his hand in a place he shouldn't have. Come to find out, quite a few cops knew about this and did nothing. Now, can you imagine if one of us was running around doing that to people. They would destroy you in the media first, then god knows how long you would get in the penitentiary. He got 2 years and served less then that.
Thats the problem, among other things. These cops know that nothing is going to happen so they shoot first and ask questions later cause it really doesn't matter, white, black, brown, nothing will happen to them. If they knew they were gonna be held accountable to the laws they protect, well i think it would be a different story. Watching some of your buddies go down hard Im sure would have an effect.
Their out of control. All the run ins with cops Ive had, and its been a few, they were all dicks to me. (except for one). I couldnt tell you the race but I can tell you they were all dicks that had one goal and that was to put me in jail and when they couldnt, they were not happy. Thats bullshit that it ruins their day when they cant put a fellow citizen in jail. I dont think that was the first intention when they developed the first police department.
There is a reason that people get anxiety, even if totally innocent, when being confronted by cops. Cause of all the backwards bullshit we have heard from other people, the news, and other experiences we have had. Their is a reason the U.S. had the most prisoners out of any nation. Their is reasons they act the way they do.
I think we all can agree that change needs to take place somewhere. It really needs to stop being such a racial thing. From both sides of the argument. The media is such a instigator of it. I heard one reporter on this story talk and I swear within the first ten seconds he had said the white, black, white, black 5 times. If everyone came together as one, it would be such a more powerful force. They cant stop that. Cops are the problem and its a problem that needs addressing.
