What’s the pistol for, shooting donut theives?
We don't have any laws that are as unjust as the laws of slavery way back then. So the comparison is simply outlandish.
And no thanks, I don't much care for the taste of human.
You like to bitch but never have any specific suggestions.Your post makes about as much sense as pointing out being eaten by a sabre tooth tiger was waaay more painful than being eaten by a modern day Siberian tiger.
We have PLENTY of unjust laws. Enforcing even one of those laws when you know its wrong to do so, validates my point that cops actions are just as likely to harm innocent people as they are to protect them.
Don't like humans? You just need the right seasoning.
There's a middle ground in there, somewhere. Police that don't routinely murder brown people would be a good start.Here's a place with no police........

he's an ex-prison guard. so he's like a cop, but it just takes less power to corrupt themYeah, because the police MUST be allowed to abuse and murder people or we can't have any law enforcement at all. Do you even think about the mind numbingly stupid shit you're posting, skidmark? Like, oink, fuckface.
Another frustrated fat-ass cop wannabe like @TrailBlazer12747? Figures.he's an ex-prison guard. so he's like a cop, but it just takes less power to corrupt them
he's mostly a good guy except for he takes his pro-law enforcement arguments to extremesAnother frustrated fat-ass cop wannabe like @TrailBlazer12747? Figures.
I wonder if it's more about race or more about economic class. It's obvious more minorities are locked up in America than white people, but minorities also tend to be poor or lower on the economic scale, too. I'm sure racism plays a significant role in arrests, but it would be interesting to see a scientific study on rich/well off vs. poor people who spend time in jail/prison.It's about race until it's proven that it isn't about race.
Look at the racial disparities in terms of arrest and incarceration rates vs the general population, then tell us with a straight face that it isn't about race.
nfl players all make plenty of money and black nfl players get pulled over at something like 27 times the rate of white nfl players.it would be interesting to see a scientific study on rich/well off vs. poor people who spend time in jail/prison.
Some people here buy into the new narrative that you can't be racist against white people because racism is prejudice + power, instead of the traditional dictionary definition;Your original post is all about "fat WHITE cops"... hence the racism.
This entire forum has become an echo chamber of complete nonsense.This entire thread is an echo chamber of complete nonsense.
These people aren't on the "far left", they supported Hillary Clinton, they're extreme moderatesThey should rename this forum the far left nonsense forum.
The deaths attributed to lightning, wasps, and bees are indiscriminate. The deaths attributed to police are very discriminant. That's the issue. Also, I believe your numbers are wrong. The last time I checked, American citizens are much more likely to be killed by a police officer than terrorism.Your fear of cops is not based in reality. You have no conception of the facts. Cops are 18x more likely to be killed by us than vice versa. They should be scared of us. You're twice as likely to be struck by lightning than shot and killed by police. Wasps and bees kill more people per year than cops and it's not even close. Educate yourself.
What percentage of the prison population is rich/black? rich/white?nfl players all make plenty of money and black nfl players get pulled over at something like 27 times the rate of white nfl players.
Are you serious with this "race is not the problem, it's poverty" nonsense? Good gawd.but it would be interesting to see a scientific study on rich/well off vs. poor people who spend time in jail/prison.
I didn't say race is not the problemAre you serious with this "race is not the problem, it's poverty" nonsense? Good gawd.
Race is very clearly a significant factor. But so is being poor. Poor people are arrested at similar rates while rich people who commit the same crimes aren't. There are separate systems of justice for black people/minorities than there are for white people the same way as there are different systems of justice for rich people than there are for poor people, regardless of raceThe deaths attributed to police are very discriminant. That's the issue.
that's very clearly where you are going with thisI didn't say race is not the problem
It's the tiniest of dog whistles.that's very clearly where you are going with this
Here take a look there are plenty more examples of this, You just have to look and see....I wonder if it's more about race or more about economic class. It's obvious more minorities are locked up in America than white people, but minorities also tend to be poor or lower on the economic scale, too.
