The ending quote was touching, these poor cops. #BlueLivesmatter

Funny how the mainstream media isn't all over this. I guess you were right what you said a while back about blacks getting all the media attention: "It must be a perk" of being black.

Yeah, it's a perk of murdered, unarmed black teenagers to get media attention, almost makes up for the being dead, you know.

And #bluelivesmatter, ****ing hell...

He probably didn't shoot him because he was worried about being unjustly charged with murder and a bunch of thugs looting and burning the town down. Shame that our country has gotten to the point where an officer is afraid of doing his job properly because of fear of actions of a bunch of phucking thugs and being wrongly charged with murder. He should have dusted his ass anyway.
Conjecture at this point. We don't know why the cop did not shoot the man. Perhaps it is better to wait for his side of the story before jumping to conclusions.

FYI I do think if people were praising this attack on social media then those people are idiots.

Once again they're not all over it because the people who attacked the cop have been arrested and are awaiting trial.

How do you keep going to that comment of media attention when very clearly there shouldn't be any. The two contexts are different.

One is a fear of cops racially profiling people leading to unnecessary deaths. The other was an awful even that happened but the people who committed the crime have been apprehended and are facing justice.

People are extremely naive if they don't think that if situation was reversed (white guy pistol-whipping an old frail black cop) that the liberal media wouldn't be all over it. It would be like a wet dream to them.

Star is incapable of seeing the difference. He only sees it as a 'black and white' issue, with black people apparently getting bonuses and "perks".

Okay so this thread jumped a lot..ignoring the blatant racism shown by some I will just say there was another shooting on the anniversary.

I think that's the same one being discussed as before. Video does appear to show Harris holding a gun, or something with the shape/profile of one.

It wouldn't be made out into a racial issue, because race probably wouldn't matter. I don't think race matters in this case either. The perp was a repeat violent offender who surprised the cop and gave him a beating. If the cop had been black he probably would have been beaten down too because the perp's motive for the beating was to escape arrest.

It's idiotic but not totally inconceivable. I have a black friend from Birmingham who says that the cops there have a pretty bad relationship with the city's black citizens (as well as the fire department, of which her dad is the chief)

Yeah sorry if it was mentioned before. But apparently there are more details in that there were two groups shooting at each other, then one shooting at an unmarked cop car, then the cops fired back, etc. and the guy is in critical condition now. I apologize if this has also been said.

Don't think the other link had the video, so consider it a welcome update to the story

Anyways one problem I think that persists everywhere is this wall of silence. It exists on both sides. On one side, we have the mentality that you shouldn't snitch. "Snitches get stitches". On the other side you have the d-bag cops that think "well, cops can do no wrong" who will go to great lengths to protect their own no matter the truth. So it just morphs into something out of control.

On this issue, the police cause far more damage by covering up the corruption of other cops when it happens.

"Snitches are bitches who end up in ditches", I think that's how the saying goes.

I think most black people know that the no-snitching culture is idiotic, but comedian Dave Chappelle put it well when he said that "black people want to call the cops too, they're just not sure what will happen when the cops show up" (my paraphrase)

I think the onus should be on police departments to do more to engage their communities. Bring back foot patrols and more outreach programs, more scrutiny of racial prejudice in hiring, and an end to the culture of impunity that you've pointed out in your post. In communities where the police have adopted these measures, we don't see nearly as much tension and mistrust.

When Cincinnati police heard from residents that the neighborhood near a certain store was a hothouse of murders and drug dealing, they relocated a bus stop and phone booth to disperse loiterers, yanked the store’s liquor license, and got the city to raze the building to permit new development. Elsewhere, the police work with gang members and their families, trying to funnel violent people into better lives.

The story stated the obvious, that this approach requires police to park their cars, walk beats, and familiarize themselves with the people and problems of their neighborhoods. I can imagine some grousing that this is social work, not police work. But there’s no arguing with success: According to the article, between 2008 and last year, arrests and crime dropped substantially.

Look how terrified these little Asian men are, fear of the gentle giant.

I'd definitely of gotten a gun if owned a business in that area.

Are you and Star in a contest to show who's more racist?

IMO, Star's still in the lead, his recent rant about "black cocks" and anti-miscegenation pulled him ahead in the racist race.

The real question is, who has the more micro micro-penis? Star with his general dislike of anything not White/Conservative/Christian and his strong hatred of black men because he watches porn featuring well-endowed black men having sex with white women and works himself into a jealous frenzy over it, or Vansonbee and his general dislike of black people/anyone different than him and love of MGTOW, which is a site for guys who can't get women and like to b***h and moan about it.
