Quote:Just to be clear you think it's not a problem when people sworn to protect and serve do the exact opposite. That because there are other problems YOU think are bigger that it makes police brutality not a problem. Don't dance around it. If you feel so strongly just say it. Say those bold things you claim people need to hear.

I realize you're talking to JIB but I want to chime in on this post. I think in this thread and the other related threads it's been pretty much unanimous that the few officers out there that abuse their powers and murder are scum and should rot in hell. Just like any other murderer. No race barrier.


You bring up police brutality. Ok, so BLM are out to let the world know how black people are getting unfair treatment by police. Do you not realize that whites and Hispanics also are victims of "brutality". I put brutality in quotes because it seems all to frequent that the public is now deciding what is brutality. Police, you see, deal with a wide array of people and criminals. Some black some white, some men, some women. Some 6'3" 250 lbs some 5'3" 100 lbs. some young strong and aggressive. Idk if you've realized this but officers too come in all shapes and sizes as well along with different genders and races. Police are also trained to deal with uncompliant people. You see, sometimes it is difficult for an officer to restrain and cuff someone. Which is why they may use some taught skills to bring down the criminal or heck, maybe it's just a traffic stop and the person is pissed off and won't accept the ticket. So, is it police brutality when an officer uses these tactics to bring down a white, black, or Hispanic person? I don't believe so. If you do, then you should also feel that it is for all races.


I'm sure the reply will be singling out an example of one officer and applying it to all, I mean, the white officers.
