Black vs White: Oppression or Master Plan?
By Voren 2014-12-21 00:55:28
I'll see if I can post a link, but apparently there were two officers killed while sitting in their patrol car. NYPD advised that gangs had issued an order to kill all white police officers.
I bet there's not a statement made by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, or NAACP.
You know, because cop lives don't matter.
Edit: Link

Isn't it interesting, that article doesn't tell you the race of the shooter.. Unlike EVERY single article about brown... Two white cops killed by black man.. Where do we white folk go to riot, loot, and burn down ***!?! Oh that's right "insert comment not meant to be racist but is 100% true.) Glad I live out in the middle of nowhere, this is only gonna get worse from here.

2 cops were gunned down while eating pizza in Las Vegas earlier this year, but, you know, they were killed by other white people so naturally it doesn't count. There was another thread about it but, please, disregard.

Edit: LinkI guess that is why that statistic (how often police officers are killed each year) is tracked but not how many people die in police custody or at the hands of cops.
Oh wait, that statistic is kept track of, meticulously, and the others are a "self report" function that is useless.
Because when cops get killed there aren't city wide manhunts.
Oh wait, no, every single time a cop is killed the "brothers in blue" go on major hunts to find those responsible (if the suspect is not aprehended immediately). Usually with the suspect ending up dead.
Cops claim "a right to go home at night" but normal civilians for some reason don't get to claim this same right.
If a no-knock warrant is executed incorrectly, not the cops fault. If someone dies or killed during the incorrect execution, definately not their fault. Because they were "doing their job in good faith" or "feared for their lives".
If there is a video or multiple videos of cops killing someone within 3 seconds of arriving on the scene when the person was carrying a toy gun, not their fault. Because they were "doing their job in good faith" or "feared for their lives".
In the US cops lives are valued more than civilians.
It's emphasized every day that civil forfiture takes innocent peoples property, every day a kid is killed for playing with a toy gun, every day cops get more military grade tactical gear, every time SWAT is deployed for non-violent situations, and everytime grand juries decide cops have a right to go home at night and civilians do not share the same right.
Rarely is a police officer held accountable for bad judgements where people die, are injured, or lose property compared to civilians.
Also, you are wrong.

There's that buzzphrase again: "gun violence" am I the only one concerned with overall violence? Or do they somehow pretend that all "gun violence" is avoidable, but somehow other violence isn't?
What is it with that buzzphrase?
People die, it's innevatable, sometimes people go at the hands of others' misdeeds, it's *** up, and yes there's logical things we can do about it, without infringing on freedoms.

If DoJ wants to track those then by all means, would actually be nice to have hard statistics to go off of, but who needs that when we have media and general public to vilify police.

If a person is willing to gun down a cop, you think they give twoshits about the average citizen? I don't condone officers taking "justice" into their own hands, I prefer an arrest to be made, but those that kill cops don't usually lay down their guns and say "sorry, my bad, I'm giving up".
Quote: Cops claim "a right to go home at night" but normal civilians for some reason don't get to claim this same right.
That claim, if made, is ignorant. We don't have a right to go home at night any more than anyone else does.
Quote: If a no-knock warrant is executed incorrectly, not the cops fault. If someone dies or killed during the incorrect execution, definitely not their fault. Because they were "doing their job in good faith" or "feared for their lives".
Yeah, how about the guy that killed a cop during a no-knock warrant that was found not guilty because he claimed self defense. You forget about that one? No-knock warrants are extremely ignorant to use, but they serve a purpose especially when it comes to high risk services.

Did you see the "toy" gun? The airsoft gun was a replica of a M1911A1 Colt .45ACP. I wouldn't have shot unless the gun was brandished and being actively pointed at someone (myself or another person) so there in lies that difference. If you think for a second I'm going to wait to verify if that gun is real you're delusional. Point a gun at me or another person, toy or not, and I'm 10 ringing you and not going to stop pulling the trigger until you're down and the threat is eliminated. I've been on the wrong end of a gun, it's not a warm and fuzzy place to be, and if you haven't been in that place you've got not clue one of what it feels like.

I don't agree with civil forfeiture as it's done by some shadyass cops. I agree when there's charges brought that warrant it, which I've explained before. Civil forfeiture wasn't meant to be used broadly, but again it was a law written broadly and some departments use it to help fund their dept, which is shady as hell. Not my brand of policing.
I love the militarize argument. Go look up the bank robbery in Los Angeles in the 1990's. Police were out gunned badly. Police aren't proactive, we're reactive. Every bit of our gear that's become more militarized isn't because of a just in case, it's because some criminal has decided to push the boundaries a bit further and made departments realize they need X type or amount of gear to counter act criminal activity. You don't like it, tell criminals to quit getting guns.
Every day there's a child shot for playing with a toy gun? No, not even close. If that was the case Hasbro would be put out of business (makers of Nerf guns).
SWAT used every time in non-violent situations....LMFAO no.

There's no reason to use a no-knock warrant unless there's a life in danger.
But now the guy's in jail and the cop is dead over *** marijuana.
That's some stupid ***.

I forget what the warrant service was for, iirc it was a felony warrant and not a search warrant, but don't quote me.
Most no-knock warrants I've seen have been search warrants. Reason for no-knock is to help prevent destruction of evidence and to hopefully prevent the suspect from arming themselves and turning a situation into a stand-off. I don't like them myself, but that's just me. It all depends upon what you know is behind that door.
By Jetackuu 2014-12-21 07:55:41
The case I recall was in Texas, if it was another case then never mind.
I'll stand by my statement of the only reason being a life threatening one, like potential hostage situations.
Which is at the same time really the only time SWAT should be used, as lolwtf...
Destruction of evidence is a bad excuse.

If Wilson would have had a camera on the entire Ferguson incident would have been a lot smoother to deal with assuming the powers that be didn't redact and edit evidence. Hard to say, depends on the angle of the camera.
Camera is usually front facing from chest level. There's also a mic for audio and if it's like what I've got then it's clear and doesn't pick up a lot of wind. That's what I meant.
In the Brown case, the officer was assaulted while he was in a sitting position in his squad car. In other words, his chestpiece would be facing the front of the car, not towards Brown during the attack.
Audio is a different thing. The audio could have proven the officer's innocence, as long as the audio clearly states the events in question. Video is harder to disprove than audio, but video wouldn't have been available in this case.

In the US cops lives are valued more than civilians. In a society where people actively shoot officers because they are officers, I will continue to say that officer's lives are more valuable than civilians, because, even knowing that they will be shot at, harassed, disrespected, and generally demonized by the public, they still chose to work at this profession and uphold the law in society's best interest.
I'm not saying that we should let the bad cops get off. We should actually punish those types of officers more severely for misusing the public trust. I'm saying that we should hold cops to a higher standard, and we ourselves should hold cops to a higher value, than we really do.

Doctors, teachers, scientists, engineers, businesspeople, cops, they all contribute more to society than thugs, criminals, slobs, idiots, and the like.
But yet, lately the media has been glorifying the criminals and victimizing them when they break the law and assault officers, and people have the gall to defend their actions, saying that the officers were harassing/attacking those "innocent" thugs when in reality, the officers were defending their lives.
I'm not saying that what the NYC cop did to that guy was justified, but you can't honestly believe that the Brown case, the case that can be attributed to this recent racial tension, even though Brown has been found to be at fault for this, is worth the unjustified tension between races in recent days. Heck, these racial killings of police officers can be indirectly attributed to the Brown case.
The problem is holding officers to the same standard, let alone a more stringent one. Frankly, if corrupt/improper practices by police was prosecuted harshly, this conversation would probably not exist. If we had a Justice Department worth a damn, instead of inciting/instigating these racial issues for political capital, we would have a more ideal national police system.

The guy in walmart was shot after dropping gun, responded to police being told not to run and was shot again. This was an open carry state. The situation was immediatly escalated because (according to department) a perfect storm situation: recent training, bad information from the caller, air gun left out in the asile, etc.

Quote: estimates that SWAT teams were deployed about 3,000 times in 1980 but are now used around 50,000 times a year. Some cities use them for routine patrols in high-crime areas. Baltimore and Dallas have used them to break up poker games. In 2010 New Haven, Connecticut sent a SWAT team to a bar suspected of serving under-age drinkers. That same year heavily-armed police raided barber shops around Orlando, Florida; they said they were hunting for guns and drugs but ended up arresting 34 people for “barbering without a licence”. Maricopa County, Arizona sent a SWAT team into the living room of Jesus Llovera, who was suspected of organising cockfights. Police rolled a tank into Mr Llovera’s yard and killed more than 100 of his birds, as well as his dog.

Heck, these racial killings of police officers can be indirectly attributed to the Brown case. Except tension between the races has existed for some time, as well as the tension between police and civilians, and the disparity in treatment of the races.
What should be sincerely asked is how did two separate incidents which started with pretty innocuous crimes, managed to escalate to deaths. Crap like that is going to happen. You *are* going to have crazy people, willing to do crazy (and stupid, dangerous) things. Are these isolated incidents? All signs in Ferguson, at least, pointed to that it isn't an isolated incident in how the department is run. And given how NYPD has acted with regards to stop-and-frisk, profiling, surveillance, it indicates that it likely isn't an isolated incident either.
Police are almost always outnumbered by the general public they are policing. If the public perceives that the police are interested in protecting the police, rather than the public, well...

we here plenty of one side vs the other, but id figured id post this response from a democrat former mayor against other democrats about the incident with the black guy killing two cops.
Quote:
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani attributed the execution-style assassination of two police officers on Saturday afternoon to the protests that broke out across the city following a grand jury’s failure to indict a police officer for killing Eric Garner.
“We’ve had four months of propaganda starting with the president that everybody should hate the police,” Giuliani said during an appearance on Fox News on Sunday. “The protests are being embraced, the protests are being encouraged. The protests, even the ones that don’t lead to violence, a lot of them lead to violence, all of them lead to a conclusion. The police are bad, the police are racist. That is completely wrong.”
Giuliani then argued that most of the city’s violence is centered in the black community through so-called “black against black” crime and heralded the police for keeping African Americans safe. “Actually, the people who do the most for the black community in America are the police,” he explained.
Since Saturday’s killing a host of conservatives — including former New York Gov. George Pataki (R) — blamed DeBlasio or Attorney General Eric Holder for inciting the kind of anti-police fervor that led 28-year-old Ismaaiyl Brinsley to ambush and murder two officers, shooting them point-blank in the head as they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn before killing himself at a nearby subway platform.
Brinsley, allegedly wrote in an Instagram post, “I’m Putting Wings on Pigs Today. They Take 1 Of Ours…Let’s Take 2 of Theirs #ShootThePolice #RIPErivGardner #RIPMikeBrown.” He concluded with, “This May Be My Final Post.”
Immediately following the killing, Pat Lynch, the president of the largest police union in New York City, said there was “blood on many hands tonight” including “those that incited violence on the street under the guise of protest” and starting with “the office of the mayor.”
Giuliani rejected that characterization saying, “I think it goes to far to blame the mayor for the murder or to ask for the mayor’s resignation. But I don’t think it goes too far to say that the mayor did not properly police the protests.” He blamed DeBlasio for allowing the protesters to “take over the streets” and “hurt police officers” and pledged that he would have confined the protesters to certain areas had he been mayor.
The former mayor also criticized President Barack Obama, Holder, and Al Sharpton for addressing the underlining racial tensions behind the failure to indict the white police officers who killed Garner and Mike Brown in Ferguson. “They have created an atmosphere of severe, strong, anti-police hatred in certain communities. For that, they should be ashamed of themselves,” he said.

So much stupidity, that guy was a mayor, that's scary. Doesnt surprise me, since people elect their elected officials for selfish and entirely stupidity based reasons nowadays. Its a blanket statement, since there ARE people that would much rather elect someone that actually does their job for the purpose their job was set up for.
I saw an artical posted earlier that i thought might be interesting to see some responses to, considering many ppl on these boards. Decided not to post it, but then i saw this articil of Obama complaining in an interview with People Magazine about ppl being racially bias against him; thinking hes a valet while hes standing in front of a restaurant, or asking him to get a someone a cup of coffee at some black tie dinner. So i figured id post it. Its obviously written to make the writers point. But then again, so are most things written these days'
Quote: There’s a terrible double standard in the mainstream media.
One piece at a time, that flaw is being revealed — but sadly, it’s taking tragedies to expose the problem.
A 12 year old boy is at the center of the latest tragedy that is being ignored by the news.
His name was Keith Passmore, and he was recently shot in Georgia.
While names such as Michael Brown and Eric Garner are receiving national attention, almost nobody has heard of Keith Passmore.
The reason is both simple and infuriating: This 12 year old boy’s death doesn’t fit the media’s narrative.
Passmore was sitting in a pickup truck with 20 year old Christopher Martin.
The two were parked outside a house, apparently waiting to pick somebody up.
Suddenly, a man dressed entirely in black clothing banged on the vehicle’s door and told Passmore to “open up.”
The older Martin recognized that they were in a dangerous situation and told the 12 year old not to open the door.
Martin started the truck and tried to drive away — but the would-be carjacker fired a handgun at them.
Christopher Martin was able to speed off. When he yelled to Passmore to see if he was okay, there was no response.
The boy had been hit by one of the bullets and did not survive.
As you might have already guessed based on the above reference to the media’s narrative, Keith Passmore was white and his killer is black.
In an ideal world, the race of the shooter and victim should not matter.
However, the media’s double standard and their obsession with one particular narrative means that we do not live in an ideal world.
“Black Lives Matter” is the slogan that is chanted by protesters and repeated by the media.
There is one important question: Shouldn’t all lives matter?
Something is deeply wrong when Michael Brown is a household name, yet a 12 year old boy is only a footnote because his skin color is too light.
It is a trend. Over the past several months, there has been a media circus over black men in places like Ferguson and New York.
Meanwhile, events that do not fit their narrative are quietly kept out of the news.
In Missouri, a white Bosnian man was violently murdered by a group of black men with hammers — yet it was barely reported.
Shortly after, another group of black thugs in the same location pulled a white woman out of her car and beat her unconscious. The media was strangely silent.
A white teenage girl named Ashley Marie Scott was murdered by a black shooter in Illinois. Her name isn’t in the headlines.
Four black gang members executed white police officer Kevin Quick in Virginia. It’s a safe bet that Al Sharpton won’t be holding a rally in his memory.
When the media promotes a chosen narrative on race and ignores deaths that don’t fit it, the racial division and environment of poisonous resentment only grows.
The double standard is an important problem that needs to end.
