Even the American cops who, you know...aren't white?

All cops are scum who are on a power trip because their badge and gun gives them the power to oppress people.  They don't engage in such behavior all the time but they are all one second away from doing it.

Lol...
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Actually yes you can be coloured and still be a part of racial oppression .

Three Detroit police officers were shot while responding to a shooter standoff situation that ended in three women killed plus the shooter himself...

Quote:DETROIT (WXYZ) - Around 10:30 Sunday night 62-year-old Patricia Wilson, and her sister, Barbara, walked up to their niece's house on Lamont Street to try to handle some sort of issue the niece was having with her live-in boyfriend, Lance Smith.



But before Patricia and Barbara could even get to the house, police say Smith opened fire on the two sisters. 
Patricia's husband, Freddie Wilson, an off-duty officer for Detroit Public Schools Police, was on his way up to the location when he heard the shots. 
And when Wilson arrived at the house, he was also shot. Wilson had been hit in the leg, and a close friend says Wilson laid next to his wife, calling 911 and remaining on the phone with dispatch to help police get to their location.

Two Detroit Police officers were also hit by gunfire when they arrived at the scene. 

One of the wounded officers was rescued by his partner. Detroit's Special Response Team used one of their vehicles as a shield to pull the other two officers, Patricia and her sister away from the line of fire.

If it's on Family Guy I guess that settles the debate. That was even more dumb than Wyrd's response...Dumb and Dumber.

And do you know why black people being glad the police are not around would be a "thing" in popular culture.
