Police Brutality Thread

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

Do you think George Floyd looked like a thug in the video?

Yes but he was one, considering he stole cars, robbed from stores and people, held a gun to a pregnant woman saying he would kill her, ignored his family as coke, H/dope, METH, pills were more important to him, was HIV POZ and fucked women in porn without condoms and was super violent.

Why didn't Obama and Biden who were in office for eight years address the problem and do more for his people by creating programs to help the disenchanted youth who turn to gangs because that's the only sense of family some of them have?

All he did was give out more welfare and extend unemployment benefits to ridiculous long periods, I think it was two years you could collect without having to find a job, What intensives did he give his people to get a job or create jobs for them and focus on the drug and prostitute ridden neighborhoods and try and clean them up by putting more Police patrolling those bad neighborhoods, so the decent people who have to live in them can live a normal life and raise their children without worrying one of them getting caught in the crossfire from gang banging, or lured into these gangs?

He did nothing positive for his people or people of color,the whole eight years those two were in office, yet he's loved by his people because he's half Black,not even pure Black, his mother was White, when he was in office his home city had the highest crime and shootings, Black on Black crimes and killings, never mind the police.

Cool story. Could you get back to me with the missing part linking it to my post you quoted. Thanks.

I guess you haven't looked or read about past history and present concerning socialism and communism, which to me Socialism is a softer term of communism, and the poverty and suffering these countries live in, except for those in power, you think they would have this trial in North Korea, China, Cuba or Russia, or riots and demonstrations allowed?

I guess YOU have looked into recent Socialist countries...Netherlands, Norway, Sweden.

Its intellectually disingenious or willfully ignorant to point to North Korea, China, Cuba, Russia when talking about socialism - those are dictatorships, but keep believing that conservative propaganda

The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Finland are not socialist, Marxist, or Communist at all. They are all very Capitalist. Switzerland is not Socialist, communist, or Marxist either.

Sweden Isn't Socialist

In international economic-freedom comparisons, Sweden often earns a higher ranking than the U.S.

One thing you don't do and this should be common sense you don'r reach for anything unless the Police Officer tells you to, you make a move to grab something whether it be your registration or or ID, without the Police officer telling you to you better believe it there is going to be consequences, especially nowadays with these criminals carrying bigger guns than the Police.

And what did he have to be nervous about if he did nothing wrong?

Wasn’t gonna jump back on here, but did want to answer your question. The media is constantly pushing stories about cops killing black people during traffic stops or for other reasons that seem to be undeserving of death. I’m aware moving at all when a cop says don’t is a bad idea. But many POC have come to a point where they are nervous just being pulled over because of the shit they’re being bombarded with. Unless any of us are black , we can never understand that fear but it exists.

I've said this to you at least three times now.

Black people are less likely to be fatally shot, per encounter with police. If there are 100 encounters between police and Black people and 100 encounters between police and white people, it is more likely that a white person will be shot to death.

Unless any of us are black , we can never understand that fear but it exists.

Black people have a limited perspective just like white people do. Neither experiences what it is like to be the other group. Black people are afraid because of the MSM misrepresenting the situation. They are afraid because of BLM.

What you are missing is this:

Yes more white people are shot by cops than black people. However if you look at it per capita, in proportion to their population size, the problem is obvious.

 

[birdup.snaildown]

Are you even reading what I'm writing?

Black people commit most of the violent crimes in the country. Therefore they are going to have more encounters with police... but based on encounters they are less likely to be shot (fatally or otherwise).

Men also commit more violent crimes than women. Men have more encounters with police. Men are more likely to be shot (fatally or otherwise).

So, there is more evidence - isn't there? - that the police are sexist and they discriminate against men / than there is that the police are racist and discriminate against Black people.

When American conservatives or libertarians label Democrat policy proposals ‘communist’ or describe administrative approaches as ‘Marxist’ - you can guarantee that it’s something Australia already does. Usually very well and to a greater extent than the US policy proposal in question suggests anyway. So don’t leave us out.

I think the point you might be making is that the most dangerous thing in America is neither black people nor the police, it’s the discourse.

I was responding to a question asked by someone else about why Castile may have been nervous. Not you or anything you said.

you keep saying white are more likely to be shot. this is the 3rd or 4th link ill post contradicting that.

Black people more than three times as likely as white people to be killed during a police encounter

Black Americans are 3.23 times more likely than whites to be killed by police.

The discourse is in fact damaging, but he is just contributing to it.

I don’t think so. He seems more intent on trying to deconstruct it to highlight the underlying reality.

You are not listening to me.

 

[Droppersneck]

Exactly. You even have people here on blue light claiming there is no way he could have overdosed and died from Fentanyl/opiates and METH, which is exactly what happened when George Floyd shoved those drugs up his ass.

Idk if he boofed them lol. I still think it’s tragic and that chauvin should have exercised better judgment. I think a charge was in order, but not murder. The guy was handcuffed and ODing, I just don’t see that maneuver as being necessary.

 

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

BLM does not care about black people-both worldwide and Black Americans. The one lady who is apparently in charge of burn loot murder bought a super expensive multimillion dollar home in CA, built slave quarters, and basically none of her neighbors in the gated community she lives in or the nearby town are black.

There's an interesting theory going around that Occupy Wall Street in 2011 spooked the 1%, and they decided the best way to stay in power was by creating a false narrative of racism to create conflict within everyone else. If you look at the composition of articles in the Washington Post, New York Times, Guardian, Spiegel, etc, you''ll discover that they became much more focused on race around 2013 (Trayvon Martin) and by 2014 BLM was in full swing and the media was pushing the "hands up don't shoot" lie about Michael Brown's shooting.

I read in the trial transcript that he put them up his ass, and he told police this, but they did not tell this to Chauvin and did not call EMS until later.

I generally don't subscribe to conspiracy theories but I wouldn't be surprised if they proved that the welfare state was created to stunt and control African American communities, which is exactly what it has done.

Also to add, I don’t think a fair verdict was even possible here. Now that they televise the whole trial, and the media openly doxxes jurors that don’t come to the verdict they favor. It’s horrifying, but it’s the natural progression of clown world that I have come to accept.
