It just seems to me that you blame all cops for the actions of a few cops, but all cops are racist because they believe the actions of a few blacks smear the entire black race.

That shows your hypocrisy. But I'm not going to come on here and say 'Genji, you are a HYPOCRITE!' every time I get a chance because it doesn't advance any argument.

Perhaps you can rise above the simple-minded logic of someone like newtboy and realize that some cops can do the wrong thing w/o it casting aspersions on the entire cop culture.

You don't like it when you think that all cops blame all black people for black criminal behavior, do you?

It sure is convenient to believe that all your problems are due to white people, or cops, or whatever.

Why do you keep calling me a racist? Do you think that will somehow make it true?

I did not read the article as I thought the video would stand on it's own, so I went back and read the article.

If the cops are making up charges on people, then obviously I don't approve.

What I find cogent to the issue is that the cops continue to try and protect people in these dangerous areas by combating crime there. The cops could be hanging out in libraries or candy stores, doing nothing, but instead they are in the high-crime areas, preventing crime and arresting criminals.

What happens when the cops slow down? Look at Baltimore, where city administration has shown they do not support the police, which is mostly minority, and you get over 50 shooting since the riots. Just this past weekend 9 people shot to death in Baltimore.

Big city cops do things differently than small town cops do, but their working environment is a lot worse. I've heard cops who have visited big cities and are startled at how hardcore the cops are there, but there is a reason for that...it's a tough neighborhood. Same thing happens to soldiers...kill or be killed will do a number on your head.

Do you really think conditions would improve if there were no cops? Would they improve if there were no criminals?

Cops will never be perfect, the situation will never be perfect, but the citizen has a recourse if cops misbehave, and it's called civil court. But until you have a case, i still think you should support the police because they are there to protect you.

yes, if you ever get on a jury, always believe the defendant
lol
don't believe the judge, either, he's just a lawyer, and we all know that a lawyer will say anything if he's paid to do so
also, don't believe the subpoena to appear, that's just some document put out by the court
and don't believe the sign that says if you part illegally your car will be towed

but seriously, newtboy, cops are trained to tell the truth in court...on the street, there is a lot of bluff going on and the courts have said that is legal
I've been through police academy and we were not taught to lie. What is your experience from when you attended police academy?

I don't recall saying that, Genji, so if you could show me, I'd appreciate it. But I'm quite sure I never said racism is over...I do recall saying that until you get over your massive butthurt from what racism that does exist, that you will never succeed in life.

Is there sound on this video, because I think that is important.

In my experience, most perps won't just say 'yeah, i'm the one you're looking for', so you have to use some aggressive policing because people don't respond to the British method, not being British and all...

these cops are very brave to go into these projects and take out the criminals, who prey on old ladies, women, and other non-warrior types because they are a bunch of cowards....
example:

here's another:

another (believe these are all from NYC)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp1q4kwgK_U

also, these cops are there to protect people from these cowards, so I think they deserve everyone's respect and support.

But if you support the criminal element, go ahead and try and brand cops as racist, bullies, liars, etc. It's good that people know where you stand.

Incredible that the human brain, which thousands of years ago was concerned with hunting/farming, is the same brain able to function at mach 2 in a rapidly changing technological and physiological environment.

What is your definition of 'plenty'?

Not really....all progressive politicians do this.

A joke article from a joke website, HuffPo.

You should be ashamed of yourself for even posting it.

That's exactly what Obama will do with that money. He will greatly improve the lives of bureaucrats who will dole out a bit here and there, especially to union people who will give it right back to the Democratic party, lol.

That must be a reprint from The Onion.

Genji you are a sad, delusional individual who is doomed to failure because you think you are surrounded by racists who stay up nights thinking of ways to keep you down.

It sounds like a mental disorder.

If I were a racist, why wouldn't I just come out and blame everything on your race?

Of course there is racism, but there is less racism now than at any time in US history. WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT!

We have a whole nation of successful black people, hispanic people, asian people, jewish people.

Racism is your excuse.

But to get back on point, I don't believe that the cops are institutionally racist.

Baltimore, for example, has more black officers than white officers. Are all those black officers racist?

I stand with the black officers, not the antisocial thugs who destroyed that city, who destroyed private property, who targeted other minority businesses simply because they were not black..that's REAL racism.

You ascribe a whole lot of false narratives to me simply because I am a cop...that is a kind of racism. That's is truly prejudicial.

You can't show me one comment from me where I denigrate anyone based on their race.

smh

How did the police become institutionally racist? I'm really curious about that process...

gee I actually agree with the ChaosEngine

I think most people would agree that the Obama administration is very good at dividing the races and inflaming race hatred. Most people feel that race relations in the US have gone downhill since Obama was elected. But it wasn't his election that did it, it is how he always makes excuses for bad behavior, takes the side of criminals, encourages racial discord, etc.

There are multiple examples of this and anyone with an open mind can see it.

Here is an opposing view:
