i'm not mets, but i also don't see what looting accomplishes. more pissed off cops that appear to be pretty damn racist, have no moral compass, and anger management issues, will then need to deal with said looters. it's a vicious cycle
how do you fix it?
i mean, ****ing holding people accountable would be nice. the cop(cops? i honestly haven't watched the video or kept up much with the story to know how many ppl were directly involved) should be brought up on murder charges. and the system shouldn't be bullshit and somehow let the cops off. they should be sentenced to the fullest extent of the law. honestly, moreso considering they're the ones that were supposed to be protecting/enforcing it.
i'm not a fan of blanket statements, so a lot of these political discussions just piss me off and i don't partake anymore. like i think filthy said something to the effect of "his crime is he's a cop in the first place" is just wrong. there are shitty cops. they should be dealt with.
like, 99+% of people are good people imo
"i'm not mets but" you know you're in trouble when you have to make it clear that you are not mets
i grew up male, poor, and brown. i would guess basically every person who grew up like that in any city in usa would agree with me that cops are bad, all of them, or basically all of them.
just the fact that i can tell you didn't grow up poor and brown/black because you said it's wrong to say all cops are criminals, that should you how racist and abusive police are.
the hatred poor communities have for police is visceral and justified. they are abusive. they are murderers. objectively. it's just true! and they all stick up for each other, even the "good ones"
even if you're right. even if some cops are good. how is now the time to stick up for cops???? we've seen news story after news story, month after month, year after year of them killing black people. wtf bro, it's not like cops are in danger of losing too much power or being treated unfairly. after too many innocent cops keep going to jail, then you can stick up for cops.
