I admit I wasn't paying attention to your entire back and forth with him, but was the argument relegated specifically to the city of New York?

the argument is that racial profiling of young dark-skinned people is such an accepted practice by police that they felt comfortable enough to implement it into written police policy.
now say "lol" and some smug dismissive gibberish and celebrate your imaginary triumph.

I'm a pretty firm believer that class is the most important thing too. It's VERY noticeable in the UK, as the lower-class neighbourhoods are very diverse, a huge mix of white British, Irish, black British, recent African immigrants, Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Somalians, etc. And they're all as pushed-down as each other, as it is their class and lack of access to quality education and general left-behind-ness (our government gives 0 ****s about anyone who isn't a home owner) that stops them gaining a better life.

That's exactly my point. Money is the divider.

Aurora Borealis... at this time of year... in this part of the country... localised entirely within your kitchen!?

What I'm gonna do is get some beers. Wednesday is beer night, apparently. Even though we don't have online D&D today. Which sucks, we were right in the middle of some proper coop dee tat shit.

The policy was pushed to high crime neighborhoods Bash. The profiling was more the neighborhoods they chose which have a higher volume of minorities. doesn't change anything I've said.

They wrote it into policy, it appears, in NYC. Awful and wrong.

I'd say 'class' goes a lot deeper than just money, but yeah, essentially.

nope. you're just making weak excuses for a blatantly racist police policy. not interested in arguing with you. you believe your little narrative and i'll believe documented fact. have a good one 👆

I hate water, I won't drink it unless I have to. I'd prefer gatorade.

I guess I could not drink, but I'm losing so much weight at this stage that it seems almost necessary to drink a bit so that I can still fit in my trousers

get stoned instead.
