I don't think it matters about the color of the officer or the citizens. I think some cops are just assholes that love abusing their power. I think you tend to find most of them in poor communities. A poor white kid has similar stories that a poor black kid would tell.

You only hear about police abuse when there are poor black people involved.

There have been studies that claim this very thing.

All I know is that having once had a run-in with LEOs from a Federal agency, I was scared shitless because I knew they had the power to do whatever they felt like. I wasn't doing anything wrong or illegal, but what am I gonna do, sue 'em?

Well you two responding like the is a shock to absolutely nobody.

Hmmmm so a law abiding citizen with a CC permit getting lit up because of that means nada to you. Ok good talk. Next time we discuss the second amendment feel free to exercise your right to remain silent.

I agree that the color of the officer doesn't matter. It just so happens that in larger metropolitan areas the majority of the cops are white. However, I don't think the cops of other races in those police forces are any different in their treatment of people.

It's the office that messes you up.

I'd guess that this is overstating it a little (I may be wrong), but I have to agree with part of it. Wasn't the cop in Minnesota Hmong? The cop involved in the Sandra Bland killing was (I think) Latino.

I had some crazy shit happen to me during Christmas break 2014. I had to throw my hands up as I stopped at a light on the ramp at Garfield bvld. It was the sort of shit you see in movies. If I'd have reacted a different way they probably would have shot me.

Some dude jumped in my car while running from the police. I had my doors unlocked so all he had to do was open the door and get in. He asked me to pull off. I told him to get the"fuck" out I'm not going no "motherfucking" where. The exchange went on for about 20 sec. Once he realized that I wasn't going to move the car he jumped out. Shortly after he jumped out the police descended upon the car. Guns blazing. I immediately threw my hands in the air. They asked me to get out. I still had the car in drive. I got out and the car started moving slowly. It hit one of the police cars but by it being at a complete stop it didn't do much damage. They realized I wasn't with the guy and let me go. They proceeded to continue chasing the guy and I got in my car and pulled off.

No. It would get me to 10 posts and you would have to quit

I'll tell you why. The job market for ex-high school bullies with a C- average is slim as fuck and these assholes love being in charge and taking their aggressions from being intellectually inferior out on the weak and non government empowered.

Wait... are you saying that a law abiding CC permit holder had it coming? Or am I misreading this?

This is what it seems like but that seems pretty dumb so I wanted to let him explain it.

Even if it doesn't

It was a good thing the guy didn't have a pistol. I was checking for that while he was in the backseat. It's also a good thing (ironically) that it was the police and not some street guys chasing him. I didn't know who was after him when he jumped in and said pull off. My guy was on the passenger side and I'd just dropped one of my friends off. We were about to jump on the Dan Ryan when the damn fool hopped in. I should have locked the doors but you don't think of shot like that happening. I was on my way to Bevy and we'd just put a cocktail together for the road. That's the real reason I pulled off. Didn't want the police screwing with me about open alcohol. That could have gotten real ugly. It's just good that neither I nor the police panicked or I would have made the news that night.

Saw a black couple getting pulled over (shockingly) driving home today. I couldn't help but think how fucking nervous must they be?

This guy supposedly did everything exactly as police say.

Seeing public figures and writers falling behind on their comments because these murders are coming too quick is kind of telling

Fb logic

It also seems like it always seem to happen this time of year. It always seems like the summer months is the period when this stuff occurs.

Oliver Queenan: We have a question: Do you want to be a cop, or do you want to appear to be a cop? It's an honest question. A lot of guys just want to appear to be cops. Gun, badge, pretend they're on TV.
Dignam: Yeah, a lot of people just wanna slam a ni**er's head through a plate-glass window.

If you don't think there's truth to that, well.... you're just not living in the real world with the rest of us commoners.

I posted that same quote thought in the past

Its a waaaay higher percentage than people estimate in my experience

Poor people are second class "citizens" in the eyes of many.

Police use to shake down Polish immigrants on Archer Ave all the time, because who are they going to complain to?

Rpb, what do you think the percentage is that think like that?

10? 20?

Just curious
