Okay, White 'Murrica....

[paulpablo]

Let's try another case study in 'Murrican justice. Maybe that will help the point get across?

Sarah Culhane is white. Michael Brown is dead.

Everyone knows something about Mike Brown's murder....um, justifiable police execution for the sensitive souls who think cops are fucking perfect.

Let's see what our justice system does for a rich white girl who did not put her hands up in surrender.

Some witnesses report that the unarmed Brown has his hands up in surrender as officer Wilson shot him.

Less than one month later, 19-year-old Sarah Culhane of Princeton, New Jersey crashed her blue BMW into another car in Bensalem, Pa. When police attempted to pull her over she took off and police eventually abandoned following her in a high speed chase on the city streets. Culhane later hit another car with her BMW — injuring a woman — before fleeing once again only to hit a third car. Culhane then abandoned her car and fled on foot, before being arrested by police. As police took her into custody, the Amherst College student and field hockey athlete resisted arrest, kicking one police officer in the head before being subdued.

Ah...but they got her! And the result.

According to the Bucks County Courier-Times, the prosecutor overseeing the case of 19-year-old Sara Culhane — who crashed her BMW into three cars, injured a woman in the process, and assaulted a police officer while resisting arrest — is dropping most charges against the young woman. Culhane will see two felony charges of aggravated assault and attempting to elude police, along with misdemeanor resisting arrest and traffic violations dropped to to a single misdemeanor charge of a crime involving personal injury.

According to NJ. com, as a first time offender Culhane will be eligible for a first-time offender program in Pennsylvania, allowing her to avoid jail time, with the promise of a clean record after completing a rehabilitation program and public service.

Sarah Culhane is white.

Michael Brown is dead.

This is propaganda. I'm not saying the police are never racist or perfect.

But it is propaganda to pick a random white person who happened to not get shot to death while going on a crime spree and comparing her to one black person who did.

I'm not saying the point of view (that there's racism in the police) the propaganda is trying to promote is definitely false, but there's lots of reasons why it's misleading, it's picked one stereotypical beautiful looking, probably rich white girl who's seemingly got away with committing a lot of crime.

There's more than one difference between the two people, apart from the race.

Micheal Brown looks pretty much the same weight as two Sarah Culhanes, and she looks about a foot smaller than Micheal Brown.

If I was an armed police officer and Sarah Culhane charged at me I'd never consider shooting her just for the fact in some of her pictures she looks about 15 years old, and would most likely be a laughable physical threat,
Micheal brown on the other hand, considering he was also with an accomplice aswell as having a much more intimidating size and weight would definitely be more likely to get shot.

It's an interesting topic, which I don't really know much about because I'm not from America. But it's only a reasonable discussion if all statistics and accounts are taken into consideration, just looking at one white girl who wasn't shot is ludicrous.

But just to add something, I wouldn't shed any tears if this girl was shot by the police during the chase either, this girl could have easily been responsible for the death of pedestrians and other road users, a bullet through her head wouldn't have been a loss to society I think. But that's probably another reason why she wasn't shot is that it was a high speed chase and the police don't shoot at speeding cars, and once she was apprehended there was probably multiple police already surrounding her, more than enough to overpower her, although it looks like they underestimated how frisky she was since she managed to kick on in the head during the struggle.
