StL County Cops Shoot Teen

[420seriouscat69]

Also, i'm pissed at the cops on this one, it's total bull crap. I just hate how much Nick Wright beats this drum. He's going after some news anchor in KC and calling him a fraud for just RT'ing reports from KC.

I hate how people just dismiss Americas problems.

Ugh. Nick Wright is going off on @KrisKetzKMBC. He said he was just RT the riots and not explaining the act on 96.5 the buzz. Something about how we treat black youth differently than minorities in news coverage.. He loves talking about this stuff.

i legitimately read this 20 times and i'm no closer to understanding what's going on with nick wright

Do our police forces need the tactical equipment of. Navy Seals?

There seems to be a rise  of police brutality and abuse of authority with the new use military grade equipment.

again, i only know little bits i've read online, but it just seems like if you're pissed at the police, as they should be, that destroying local businesses is one of the stupidest things you could possibly do to express that.

aside from that, read this:

i'm not going to listen, but feel free to summarize.  or don't, that's fine too.

This crap is getting rediculous, I walked out of Starbucks today with my mocha latte, a cop is just outside
He looks me over and says "what the eff are you lookin' at?"  I put my head down and walked away while he put his hand on his sidearm.  I can't guarantee I would be alive tonight if I would have smarted
Off.  Who on earth is making these guys think it's ok to act like this?

[420seriouscat69]

Seven, I'll do it tomorrow when I'm not bbs'ing from my phone.

[420seriouscat69]

Nice wine selection.

I am so hurt for Michael Brown's parents, but I'm done being outraged over black men being hunted in the streets. We don't value black lives the way we do others, that's fact. Morons toe did it in this thread, "they" who is "they?" This unarmed teen less than a week from starting college was shot in the back and some people's reaction is "but look at them burning that QuickTrip and stealing shoes. This is the world we live in. Even if this cop is found guilty of something we will still view black men as less than human and something to feared, like wild chimps.



Also a note about cameras on cops. I live in a county where only 17,000 people live, about 95% white, and all of the Boone city officers wear cameras and mics in addition to having dash cams.

If they can afford all the combat equipment of an infantry division, they can strap on a gopro and have a dash cam

Fact?  Who is "we"?  I think there's a lot of people that are outraged by the murder.

[420seriouscat69]

Yes! This is total bullshit. They need to make an example out of this cop.

"we" is American society in general. Which is sadly true.

Fact.

We is everyone, the western world as a collective. Black people too, we shoot each other like rough ridin' pop cans on a post because a black life doesn't have equal value.  This has nothing to do with outrage. If I posted a video on YouTube of me shooting a baby raccoon there would be plenty of outrage.

[TheHamburglar]

Good strat here.

Post

i have no idea what's going on, but are they doing this in response to what the cops did?

not directly.

Yes, and this is the way they 'revolt'...

The people looting/burning crap don't give a crap about the kid, they are just using this as an excuse to loot/burn crap.  But hey, "they" all look alike so "they" all are doing it.

It's extremely complicated, but it largely stems form our history of racism going back to the European settlers arriving here.

was just about to post something similar to this.  it sounds simplistic, but the problem needs to be addressed between blacks themselves before "white america" will correct itself.

It's very unfair that this is the case, what can we do as a country to put a higher value on black people.

Yeah, it is unfair. Again it's really complicated, but I think we should start by investing in better education opportunities for poor black communities. Like radically more and differently than we do now.
