At any rate, crime committed by the general populace as a result of interpersonal relationships, affiliations, happenstance and sheer dumb luck, or whatever has nothing to do with the issue of brutality/murder leveled by those tasked with upholding the law, and operating under the authority of the government.
These are entirely different matters. How can you not understand how ludicrous it sounds when you keep parroting the black on black mantra? You're presented with the prospect of the government sanctioning, or at least turning a blind eye to violence perpetrated by agents acting on their behalf, and your best and immediate response is:
"Yeah...But, remember that time Tyrone shot Pookie?"
Give me a fucking break.
That makes sense to you? Really?
My guess is that the more interactions you have with the police the higher the chances of police brutality occurring.
Personally I'm not bringing black on black crime into the conversation for the sake of it just to say yeh but look at what black people do.
I'm saying one of the reasons behind an increased rate of police brutality against black people may be in part due to a higher crime, more instances of resisting arrest, and more violence against police from black people resulting in more interactions with the police that turn violent.
Just as a general trend, not to say that no instances of police racism exist or that no completely unprovoked instances of police brutality have never happened.
Do you understand that black men in the US are also routinely stopped for simply walking?
I have two sons....two very shy, extremely nerdy, non-threatening sons who have been stopped by law enforcement in broad daylight while walking to their friend's house to play video games. And on their way to work, in uniform. It's not at all an uncommon occurrence.
Police are initiating the interactions, half the time.
What do you suggest be done to minimize interactions in those cases?
Never leave the house?
