Speaking of Cali, a friend of mine who just moved out there from here was walking out of job interview a couple days ago. She and her son walked across the street to get something to drink...she was feeling pretty good about things. Out of nowhere, a cop walks up to her and tells her she just broke the law. He actually wrote her a $60 ticket for jaywalking. FOR FUCKING JAYWALKING!

Yes, she's black and I believe 100% that her blackness had something to do with her getting written up.


Haven't listened much in the last year, but Adam Carolla used to regularly harp on the LAPD for their tendency to spend their shifts ambushing ordinary citizens--black, white, brown, whatever race--with bullshit tickets for things like jaywalking, or parking on a hill without turning their wheels into the curb, or doing 5 over the limit etc.

the Adam and Dr Drew Show eps with Theo Von sitting in for Dr Drew are worth a listen.

as is Theo Von's 'Allegedly' podcast.


Tinley Park police like to give tickets to cars that are in drive ways but cover the side walk at night. Keeping the streets safe there.




obv i agree police have more important things to do...but covering the sidewalk with your car in the driveway IS pretty douchey

Sometimes your hand is forced by company and poor driveway design.

No I think that a bunch of morons did it. I just hope they catch everyone responsible and hope that it leads no further than our shores.

I agree with you, but Hilary said that very thing ("All lives matter") and was criticized.

I've been busy the last few days and only have a general idea of what happened in the Minnesota case. I have not watched the video. It sounds to me like MANY people are prematurely calling the cop guilty. I am open to that possibility or even likelihood, but here is what could have happened:

1. Motorist pulled over for minor infraction.
2. Cop asks for license and registration.
3. Driver starts to reach for the license and registration, and mentions he has a legally concealed gun.
4. Cop, who has probably been trained to immediately tell a person carrying a gun (legal or otherwise) to put his hands up and get out of the car.
5. Driver continues to reach for something...cop can't be sure what...so cop fears for his life and tragically shoots the guy.

IF that is how it happened, I don't classify this as an "execution" or a cop who was looking to kill a random black guy. It could be a case of not listening to law enforcement and suffering bad consequences.

This is good. It's a different twist on the "all men are created equal" falsity from 200 years ago.

Yup.

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to figure out.

Pretty amazing stats on police shootings: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics ... shootings/

Making this purely a racial issue as BLM has is dishonest . Police shoot plenty of people of all races.


I don't think it should be relegated to who they shoot. Racial profiling and the disproportionate (in the eyes of some) number of blacks that are locked up plays into this also.


I thought that BLM was about police shootings. The movement tries to make it seem like the police are only targeting and killing black people. The stats show something different. I am guessing that class level is probably a better indicator of being targeted by the police. Seems like some pretty bad policy to only focus on 27 percent of police shooting victims, if reducing police violence is the goal.


I think the problem is that blacks make up less than 13% of the population. Naturally more none blacks will get killed because there are more in the country.

Civil rights violation?

Absent dude being an imminent threat to the life/limb of the police or civilians, police have no legal basis for taking out dude. I assume future uses will require a judge to sign off on the use of such remote killing machines, at least domestically.

The Blue Lives Matter thing is pretty antagonistic and unnecessary. It's pretty clear that our country already know their lives matter. If caught, anyone shooting at or killing a cop will have the full brunt of the law thrown at them, and EVERYONE is expected to be outraged by the Dallas police shootings. I don't see anywhere near the same expectation of outrage for the black victims of police, and in almost every case those cops get off the hook for murder.

When I look at those stats it more looks like the police have a violence problem rather than this divisive racial conspiracy. Are there racist cops? I am sure there are. But BLM are seriously spreading the idea that the times are just as bad now as they were 50 years ago. That does not help anything, and if people feel like they are helpless, it leads to violence.


50 years ago, MANY more police departments were more openly hostile and typically acted with more impunity to some. MANY still do. It's still just as indefensible. Most believe that 35 years ago, MANY started getting the clocks turned back to those days of yesteryear. BLM is more accurate than you would like to believe, imo.

It's funny. There's been talk of an impending "war" of sorts brewing. What most of those folks don't seem to appreciate is that MANY (myself included) believe that much of the "war" never ended.


I am of the belief that BLM is a either a witting or unwitting front of the international communist movement whose goal is worldwide revolution but then again, I am crazy.

Another shooting in Tennessee with the same motivation. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cops-tennes ... as-ambush/

Again, don't think that the perception that the police are killing only black people is good for anyone.

Demilitarize the police? Current training and recruitment regimens attract and develop police officers who regard civilians as basically enemy combatants.

Reparations, broadly defined, would be/are a necessary starting point to solving the broader issue of race relations in the US and A.

In not sure, but a good first step in any solution would be all of us recognizing the same problem.

Any person killed in and because of his capacity as a public servant should receive public outrage and have the benefit of the "full brunt of the law" shown to the perpetrator. He is owed that for his service. I would think you would understand that as a military man.

A person who kills in his capacity as a public servant deserves increased scrutiny of the matter for nearly the same reason.

I don't see a lack of outrage in this country for either.
