OT MLK

MLK day was Monday, you’re a bit late on this and I’m insulted

 

This is the dumbest post I've ever seen.

 

@dviss1 as you said I follow your posts. I'm not ignoring this thread I just don't have an idea on what to say.

I watched it and agreed with everything he said. What to do about it is a difficult question.

 

Understand?

Empathize?

Challenge the conservatives that want to take away our voting rights.

Be a voice for abolishing for profit prisons and privatised executions.

Stop giving these police the benefit of the doubt.

Understand that a system of oppression exists for your fellow citizens that are people of color.

Befriend and be an ally to a person of color...

 

Do understand, do empathize. Wish I had a time machine to show people of the past what they were doing.

Hate hate hate private prisons.

The police will always get the benefit of the doubt from me if their life is in danger. When the cops are criminals they need long sentences.

The problem for me with identity politics is that it is too late for that. Any system that is rigged against people of color needs to be fixed. That's fine..

But going forward we have a way larger problem in the future. The only identity we'll have to worry about is rich or poor.

It's the way they killed my unarmed friend James Perez. Look up that shooting. Cops can always say the "fear for their life".

If there wasn't video of the Laquan McDonald shooting the officer would've gotten off because he lied and said he "feared for his life". It's bullshit.

 

I think there is a reason they fear for their life. I would like to see what you do in some of their situations they are put in. Sure is easy to whine and complain behind a keyboard in the comfort of your own home as opposed to be in fight or flight mode. Keep pushing your narratives. They aren't based on logic, just emotions. You are the outrage culture.

Please put me on ignore.

 

I think my points are valid. 47 officers killed last year. 5 of those are black. What about those black lives?

 

I remember you talking about it. I don't like any of the shootings.

If I knew of a way to weed out every bad cop I would.

There isn't an easy solution.

 

See, I disagree. I think the solution is easier than you think.

 

How hard is it for people to grasp that cops risk getting killed every day they are on the job?

They look at all of us as potential threats.

They profile people and they shouldn't. They're human and they do it anyway.

Then you have pure murderous scum like the one who shot the old black guy in the back when he was jogging away.

How do you know which one is which?

 

I got a better question:

How hard is it to hold them accountable when they mess up?

 

How hard is it to grasp that most of them PROBABLY have undiagnosed PTSD?

You don't think that has anything to do with why police are always scared?

 

But they don't like my hat!
