They also kill white boys - Page 2 - Politics and Economics

Boomcity, perhaps you should read the DOJ report on Ferguson, where the a police department looted the minority community for years, and then reevalaute whether there are some systematic problems with race relations between some police departments and their communities.

Not defending racist or corrupt police officers AT ALL, Im just saying you need to look at the statistics and realize we are talking about a fraction of a fraction of a percent of police.

That fraction of a fraction doesn't get punished when they kill, rape, or beat the **** out of someone, and those good cops and good district attorneys cover for them.

Think of how many human interactions there are a day, and yet one of those interactions is someone killing someone else and it makes the news. Why don't they cover the millions of positive interactions that happen every day?

If you look at the statistics for cities like San Fran, Seattle and New York you can see the police departments there are full of racists, these are the most liberal places in the country. If they have police forces full of racists Id guess it's safe to say all police departments are racist.

Black cops kill white people, therefore PROOF that white cops aren't racist!

Racists HATE saying "racism" and almost always defer to "racial bias," have you noticed that?

Calling someone racist is the worst thing you can do to a person. No exceptions.

"At least the cop only beat you with his stick screaming die ****** die. He could have done something truly shocking like call you a racist."

Did you know that there's a word for "racial bias"? It's racism.

Are there other words you dislike saying? I'm betting sexism isn't a favorite of yours either; sexual bias, amirite?

If you think arguments are made by simply citing specific examples you haven't figured out arguments yet.

I tell this to everyone. When 300 million+ people live in a country you can find a story on literally almost anything you want and make it seem like its a systematic problem. The media wants you to think it's a problem. There are so many worse problems that actually exist. Just because there are racist cops that exist in the US does not mean ALL cops are racist.

Well i am a black person and i grew up in mostly black neighborhood in the outskirts of Miami. I have spent my adult life in more affluent communities. It is night and day. The police were predatory. It is not hard too see. They roll around in tactical gear several times a month and just grab anyone they see and check them for warrants pat them down ect. They would have trucks lined up at the station to take people straight downtown. I must have had at least 30-40 police contacts growing up. Pulled over for a traffic violation? "Yea, please step out, i am going to have to handcuff you for your safety. We are going to need to see everyone's Id". Have you ever been around street cops? Racist jokes are the norm.

Racist criminal justice system is a media creation? i can't agree with that.

I'm interested in this Jamar Clark shooting.

Were there a bunch of false witness reports like in Ferguson, or was Jamar in handcuffs?

There was only one false witness report in Ferguson. It was the witness who clearly wasn't there at the time who got to testify in the defence of the murderer cop.

False witness doesn't mean incorrect in some details.
