yeah, you can fuck right off with that bullshit. FACT: Blacks are disproportionally harassed by cops more so than any other group.

That’s a meaningless statistic. Black people are only about 13% of the population compared to about 63% non-Hispanic whites which means white people outnumber black by more than a factor of 4. There would have to be more than 4 times as many white people killed than black people to even say that they were equally…

THE 2ND AMENDMENT IS ONLY FOR WHITE PEOPLE.

Black woman here. I usually get nervous and try to remember to breathe and smile enough to make the officer feel comfortable. That usually works because I’m middle class and moderately attractive. I’m usually more concerned about being sexually assaulted that shot. That almost happened once on a lonely dark…

Exactly I taught my kids never to trust cops, if they ever need help to seek the assistance of a fireman at least they wont kill them.

So, warning to everyone reading my comment. I do this thing when I get emotionally overwhelmed where I basically shut down and get all logical. So when you read my comment, please do not misinterpret what I am about to say as evidence that I am some sort of cold, inhuman robot. Just the opposite really.

Most of the time they aren’t “actively hunting and killing blacks” but in any given situation a black person’s interaction with the police is exponentially more likely to end up with the them being shot/killed than a white person in the exact same situation.

I’m not saying the US police is not insanely violent for a developed country. But this is the rhetoric always used to minimize Black sufferings and racism, so none of that is acceptable.

I think he has a point - obviously black people have significantly more to fear, but don’t we all have something to fear from an unaccountable body of people who can kill you for simple acts of non-compliance? The us vs. them attitude of police is scary no matter who you are - especially if you’re black or brown, and…

It is, at least for me. I am as white as they get and I’ve faced harassment by cops (most recently for passing one going 50 in the left lane at exactly 60; he followed me for four miles including lane changes; the first time for getting into an accident with a cop that the judge determined was entirely his fault but…

do not apologize, you are definitely dismissing the primary issue to make this about #alllivesmatter. yo want to know if he is a new cop so that you can offer that as an explanation as to why he murdered a man. You want to know why he let the man bleed and about an ambulance so you can chalk the murdrr up to lack of…

White people are being killed and abused by police practically every day. In fact poor whites suffer the exact same police harassment that poor blacks deal with. I do think cases with white victims need to be publicized more so people can see it doesn’t just happen to black people. It can happen to anyone. I think if…

One answer American exceptionalism.

Oh yea, tons of classes had to be cut. "The Military: You Aren't In It," "No, You Don't Need an MRAP, What is Wrong With You?," "Protests: They Don't Always Need to Become a Riot," and "People in Your Jurisdiction, Actually Get to Know Them" were some of the first to go.

I’m a white lady and I get anxious every time a cop is driving behind me. I don’t know how POC handle it, because they are infinitely more likely to be harassed, abused, murdered, for doing nothing. It’s really scary out there :(

I stopped speaking to a co-worker who insists that cops who stay silent aren’t bad cops, they’re victims too. That we the citizens who pay their salaries, should excuse them from doing their jobs, because they fear for their lives and their families. That’s nice ... we do too.

Black Women less at risk of murder by white cops, more at risk of rape and sexual assault by their hands, though. That’s not better.

a month and a half ago i emailed my state representative regarding civil actions against rogue cops no longer being financed by taxpayer monies, but instead by police funds and/or private monies. i asked if she could possibly write a bill to implement this request. last week she finally emailed me that she is having…

I read Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me recently, and was struck by his purposeful use of the word body, over and over. To have your body taken away, to have black bodies stolen. That was a strong reminder that this is a violent physical thing that happens to real people, and not some abstract thing from…

As Frank Herbert wrote long ago, fear is indeed the mind killer. Too many brain-dead fools in blue out there.
