Police Issues and Racial Profiling Protest Discussion

[Goosey 3,017]

Other than size, Officer Wilson had literally every other advantage going into this.

I have to ask you. What's your big beef with Officer Darren Wilson?

[Redstreak 6,653]

Mess @ people rioting all over the country. Instead of destroying your town and rioting get a damn job, do something productive. they're probably all lazy pieces of **** living on the government.

Of course, POC, angry over their mistreatment by society and who are (very misguidedly) retaliating back (also bearing in mind many rioting aren't even part of this whole discussion but merely taking advantage of the situation) must all be lazy welfare folk who just do nothing all day while listening to urban music and harassing us white folk right?

This. Most of the people living in Ferguson are on Government Welfare. They shouldn't have responded with such violence..

I'm so confused though...these people are apparently lazy welfare leeches who do nothing....yet are out on the streets acting on their thugness/savagery? People, get your stereotypes in order!

So if a female was attacked a a 300 pound white man and she described him as a Hulk and charging towards her, that would prove she is s-xist and misandrist. Dehumanizing a male as a "monster."

 

LOL, No! The left is completely hypocritically about how it treats "black violence" vs "male violence" and how it stokes women's fear of violent men but tries to shame white people for their fear.

in my experience the left is generally a mess too tongue-tied with political correctness to have any lasting solutions with the problems at hand. The issues with Ferguson aren't one sided and governed by the systemic racism as much as the Left wants to make it out to be. There needs to be accountability from the society that exists in the black community and how harmful it is to the growth of their communities. It definitely does come from within their societies and this wasn't always the case if you look at the black communities that used to thrive in the 60s. North County St. Louis was a hustling and bustling community with many successful businesses along MLK Dr. but that has since become crime-ridden neighborhoods. I do agree that there is a historical oppression that is factored into this, as well as current systemic racism, but we can't ignore the fact that a majority of the problems that exist in Ferguson, North St. Louis, and other black communities in the U.S., is the current mindset of the oppressed and how if they want to change their livelihood, asking the system to change is only partially solving the problem. it has to come from both ways.

I don't respect someone who routinely chose to not carry a non-lethal alternative in addition to a gun.

If this happened in Australia (or anywhere else other than america to be honest), so many people would be disgusted. The kid did not have to be shot.

Wtf, they just pulled over and murdered the kid. I thought they were too far and couldn't see.

Where are all the cop defenders now? Shooting to wound is not a myth, at least not in European countries where these things rarely happen; many American cops are too damn paranoid and trigger happy.

Interesting comment under the video

Wow so this black 12 year old boy dies from having a toy gun in the park but the white guy in California that was pointing his gun at people in the park and aiming his gun at the cops doesn't get shot or killed but gets tackle down calmly and arrested.

What is that story from California? Would this kid live if he was white?

[lego 44,165]

"The 911 responder twice asked whether the boy was black or white before dispatching officers."

Fake story from California, probably. Lovely how they have no link. If it's real it porbably goes something like, "perp immediately sets toy gun on ground, complying with officers." But I guess we'll never know.

The boy reached into his pants. That is what happens when you reach towards your gun in the prescence of a police officer. This is not the first time it happened and it won't be the last when people are allowed access to guns or replicas without proper training and education.

Tragic, not the police's fault for doing their job. Crime rates in other countries are also massively lower and less serious in nature.

I can't believe some of you say kids shouldn't play with guns, when adults in the US can legally own an arsenal for a small army in their garage. Obviously the problem are not the kids. And whatever is wrong with that police officer shooting a child and not assuming it's a toy... Like go to him dumb **** and see, you're a ****ing cop, if you don't want the dangers coming with this go and be a gardener. I hope he rots in prison.

I would say most police don't carry them, he had pepper spray and a baton.

Oh come on.....the kid was shot dead in less than one minute. They coudl have used loudspeakers, he was probably scared and didn't know what to do, it's a 12 years old kid for god's sake.

And no they didn't do their job, the caller did say the gun is probably fake twice, but they chose to discard that information and just shoot him. And even if it was a real gun, they should handle the situation differently. No one was put at risk, the park was empty.

 

I think the US still didn't distance itself from its ugly racist past, sadly.

this is what happens when you have  country where every dumb person can get as many guns as they please.
