Police departments in America have been especially racist in the origanization, recruitment, and enforcement of the law. They are essentially nothing but organized gangs of thugs that act like the old slave patrols. A common example is the NYPD which went all Jim Crow under the Jewish mayor with the stop and frisk BS. That should be insulting to every decent American who values freedom and equal protection of the law.
When hispanics, Asians, and whites get tired of cops blowing away their friends and family members they will get off of their butts and demonstrate in their own movements as well. Right now a lot of them participate in the BLM protests but tens of millions of people of all kinds should be demanding reform changes in the justice system. It's a serious mistake to think that you are exempt from police brutality just because you are white and love cops. One day you or one of your family members will find that out.
Not all cops are bad, neither are the systems that govern them. Not even the majority of cops are bad, if they were, we would see widespread chaos. As it is, most cops don't act like a malitia or hired thugs, remember we only hear cases of extreme events with cops, and almost all the time, they are bad events. No body ever cares when a cop does his job correctly, it's just what is expected and I don't think people appreciate that what is expected of them is difficult. Cops are held to very high standards- as they should be- but they are human beings just like us, most of them aren't evil or malevolent, they react to stress and frightning scenarious in much the same way that we do. And don't for a second twist this into me sympathysing and defending these cops that kill people because I know that somebody will go there.
I think that saying that all cops are 'agents of oppression' because of an increase in police brutality and the like, is like calling all catholic preists paedophiles. It's simply not true.
He didn't say 'all cops'. Considering how literally you expect people to take every word you post, a little more accuracy is in order if you don't want to come off as a hypocrite.
How high does the percentage of very poorly trained or tempramentally unsuited or bad cops have to be before you think it's a problem that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later?
