Us, the people in this thread???
Thank you very much! I can now respond to your previous post (I substituted all of the ambiguous pronouns in your post with your above words so that you would not think I turned your points into strawman arguments).

What are the people in this thread supposed to do? Ignore it?
Take a look at the post you quoted. Then take a look at the post that quoted. Then take a look at that post quoted. That post is this:

Discussing it does shit all. If you want something done, call the police chief, commissioner, mayor, write your congressmen, write the president, campaign for political office and make laws, become a lawyer, etc. You know, stuff that would require you to do more than whine about it on a dying forum. 🙂
Therefore, in order for you to ask such a question, you have to have ignored a post that was already made.
To make my point even more simplistic, I already stated what would actually make a difference. I also stated why these threads are beating dead horses on KMC: we've had probably a dozen of these types of threads in the GDF.

By the time the public knows, the officer is already behind bars, or scheduled for a court date. The people of this thread can't just go to the police chief, point at a random officer and say "Sir, that guy looks suspicious".
Of course, that would be asinine. They should, instead, and if and only if they feel very very strongly about this particular situation (or others like it), do as I recommended in the quote of mine I just reposted.

So yes, these threads are pointless,
Now? Yes, they are rather pointless. We all get the news from far better sources than KMC, these days. We all have heard each other's arguments regarding police racism. We all know that police in the US are racist (but some think they are more racist than they are and some think they are less racist than they are...some don't think they are racist at all but those are morons and we ignore them).
In the past? No. These threads would not be pointless. This type of discussion could be brand new to some of us 8+ years ago. And it was.
These days? Yeah, very pointless.

but the problem can't just be ignored, the people of this thread are here to say that we aren't staying silent about stuff like this.
In that case, you should like a bunch of Facebook posts to save the children starving in Africa. That would be just as effective.
Holy shit, I'm hilarious. haermm

Oh, I guess you didn't get what I meant. I was mocking you.
Oh, this kind of response? The one where you ignore that I directly understood and addressed your point and you ignore that and say I didn't so you don't have to get into a lengthy argument because your feelings were hurt and don't have the energy for it and buttsex and poop?

I still feel like you didn't understand that I was mocking you for trying to play Thread Topic Moderator again.
And I still feel like you ignored the point(s) I made and are still pretending I didn't "see what you did there." It was not some complicated point. It was quite obvious. And, no, your point was definitely not "stop playing thread moderator." That's just something you've started doing within the last few minutes or so because you think it is clever.
Your feelings were hurt. That much is obvious. Move on. Don't act all butthurt.

That was a rather long "lolumad"
I certainly do appreciate this roundabout accolade regarding it, though. 🙂
But, lest I get a big head (ha, it can't get any bigger both literally and figuratively), volume does not equal content. But I think I did a good job of making my point without being redundant. Oops, I might get into trouble for patting myself on the back, again. 😮

So many possible references about buses cheering.
It was a reference to AC's over-the-top story about arguing with some homophobic dude on the bus. He pretended to "own" the dude in an argument and the climax/resolution of the story was, "...and the whole bus cheered."
I now use that phrase to self-deprecate. Heh, that sounds like a euphemism for masturbation.
