Where they can drive 5 minutes to Indianastan and load up on guns because NRA
Who are âthese peopleâ and on what basis is this judgement made
Is that a myth to âpeople like this guyâ?
I was being sarcastic.
My bad.
Although the rebel in me wasnât flinching when they went after the precinct. What kind of fucked up police force are they running? Some shady information is coming into light now.
No problem.
Their police policies arenât any different than others around the countryâthey always have been for many police forces in the US, imo. I think you said you studied post Antebellum so, I think core mentalities can be found there and a review of history can show how fragile relations have been btw any group that has been marginalized and police are involved. IJS
Iâve honestly never liked the US police force in general. Iâve met some good cops who were cool, but Iâve met a lot of ass hole cops who have power trips. Imo, they tend to attract either chill guys who are just looking for a cool job and safe pay. Or guys with little man syndrome trying to get a power trip. Something about US police that really makes me feel uncomfortable. They donât feel like theyâre on my side, trying to help and protect me.
I donât feel that way in Europe or in Taiwan. My heart pounds when I see a US cop in my mirror driving around.
Police arenât on the citizens side.
Growing up it was protect and serve and one could actually get to know your neighborhood cop.
Somewhere it changed. Maybe after the Gulf War or so. Thereâs been constant talk about how the US police have become more militarized. Iâll give you links later.
Oh they have, they are being sold military weapons. Iâm fully aware.
No name calling is necessary.
I will add to what you posted. You can condemn this disgusting injustice while also support the condemnation of black on black violence. I also do wish more emphesisism was placed on how black on black crimes is a major issue, but as free citizens, we should all condemn cops being judge, jury, and executioner.
No matter the race no arresting officer shall kneel on the neck of someone while effecting an arrest
Their job is not to be called out to murder people but that is what has happened too many times
They should be put in jail If they themselves violate the law
The law keepers are here
To keep the law not to violate them
Black on black violence is very much discussed but itâs a seperate issue from police brutality. IJS itâs that respectability politics stuff.
When trusted with a position of power and authority, and even lethal action in some instances, check your biases at the door before you put on the badge.
And to add to Andrewâs post, the US is a nation governed by laws. The police are there to enforce the laws. Not to be judge, jury and executioner in 8 mins.
