BLM Violent Hate Group

[paulpablo]

I was talking about police brutality in the US and how interactions with black people and the police.

Thena was then talking about her sons being stopped twice as anecdotal evidence of something, I don't know what. So in saying so her sons were stopped by the police and they're black and they were innocent. I've been stopped by the police and I'm white and I was innocent, more than twice.

Not to speak for Thena, but I'm pretty sure her anecdote was to illustrate how black people, no matter their other traits, are more likely to get stopped, and more often, in the US. Your anecdote has nothing to do with the discussion in this thread. hers does.

I imagine men get stopped more than women also, and that because of increased interaction with the police and the increased likelyhood that a man will resist arrest or get violent with the police that police brutality is more common on men in general.
I imagine if I was a woman in the area of that stabbing or the car robbery, or walking home at night the police would have been more likely to stop and ask if I'm ok getting home rather than shout me over as a suspect.

What does this have to do with racial profiling or BLM in... the US??

Not to say that men, or black men or anyone else are never victims of police prejudice, just that I think most times it isn't police prejudice.  I don't think police hate men, I think they just know men commit way more crime so they're bound to stop them more in general

Holy crap, dude. How are you not getting this??

The anecdotal evidence swapping between me and Thena really means nothing either way, it's not evidence we're just both swapping stories of being stopped by police.

Again, not to speak for Thena: I'm pretty sure she wasn't "just" swapping stories; she was trying to get a point across that's relevant to... have you gotten it yet?... BLM and racial profiling in the US.

The point I made about men being stopped more has to do with racial profiling. I am getting this, I understand the topic.

What I'm saying is I'm sure the police stop more black people relative to the size of the black population because there's more crimes involving black people, there's going to be some general prejudice aswell, plus the fact that statistically it seems black people are more violent towards police as they make up a lot of the cop killers.

The same goes for men, they commit more crime than women, they're stopped more than women, they resist arrest more than women and they're more violent than woman.

I was drawing a similarity between the two situations.
