Given the scale of police violence and brutality we have seen - in response to protests against police violence and brutality - all cops are bad cops. Which is a children's-book way of saying state-sponsored terrorists, at this point. — StreetlightX
Nope, I mean "spend less money so there are substantially fewer persons playing the role of police officer" - get rid of beat cops. Make it a service you request rather than one that shows up to keep "order". — Moliere
We do as the Elite's please and your words follow suit. I came here in hopes to interact with great minds and indulge in the love for knowledge. some of you at least somewhere between the "everything is subjective, to the trapped in the day to day societal paved road of survival" not post ass whooping pulling your pants down asking "may i have another?" not making snow angels out of the regurgitation or Elites funneling the last morsels of our arbitrary right you imbeciles!! — ModusOperandi
With so many instances of being able to (re)consider his actions during those 8 minutes and 46 seconds and the possibility of asking for help from fellow officers or moving Floyd to the car, the continued stranglehold using his knees became premeditated during the course of those 8 minutes and 46 seconds. — Benkei
A proposal: tie federal funding of police departments to incidences of use-of-force complaints, as assessed by a third party civil rights (i.e. non police) department. — StreetlightX
Black people in low class society should rise up against themselves and really show the world that they're ready to make a change and be left out of the typical "afro american" stereotype that you see in movies, that would be beautiful and remarkable human feat to see. — EpicTyrant
I don't live in america so i can't look from a white persons perspective there. — EpicTyrant
If you play with the thought that black people are over represented in crime, it makes sense for humans/cops to identify that section as a more probable cause to the structural problems of crime that they're trying to solve, and therefor have a more destructible/aggressive approach towards it. — EpicTyrant

Perhaps the most freeing element for any race is to be able to be perfectly average or utterly flawed and not have those flaws and failings reflective of their 'race'. To not have to bear responsibility for an entire race just because one is black or any other skin color. — StreetlightX
The cops only wants to do their job, and they're given many means to do them. Some cops choose a more destructive approach because it either feels safer for them or if they're lesser good by nature, and that aggression could be related to them being unprofessionally trained to deal with stressful situations so they use the destructive tools that was given to them. Cops should be more professionally trained. — EpicTyrant
I don't think that they suffer structural discrimination, more like structural deficiencies. — EpicTyrant
They have the same rights as white people — EpicTyrant
but harder prerequisites to abide by the core values of the white man. — EpicTyrant
Whites are accused by blacks and whites of being “privileged” and being “privileged white males”. This is obviously not true of all white people or all white males but it’s a feeling applied by many to whites. So there appears to be a problem here that’s a human failing. — Brett

It is expected of a white man to be an achiever and to strive to reach higher goals. — EpicTyrant
I would probably put a low class society criminal black person in the same category as a "white trash" person. — EpicTyrant
Why don't you think it's true? — EpicTyrant
Because I don't believe the drive to high achievement is specific to white people at all — StreetlightX
