That's all you got for goodness sake your s cop or at least you claim to be one , I asked what do you think about this particular incident ...muskydan said:
No freakin way Brian….I should not have commented cause I would love to hear some answers from Jose question that he seeks…so please carry onbrianlux said:

HMMMMMM, I wonder why that is….josevolution said:I'll ask again as i did on the other thread , when was the last time we saw a white family sitting there asking why was their family member shot dead by a cop , i cant seem to find any ....
Or better yet what do you thing about this incident
At this point, your unwillingness to comment leads to the obvious assumption that you are in opposition to the clear consensus that this gentleman was murdered and the officer tampered with the evidence and falsified his report.
Sometimes silence speaks volumes, if Musky wants to clarify he is free to do so. If he doesn't, that's fine too, especially since he's having a tough week in his life. I wanted to draw him into this fracas, but thought better of it, now that he has poked his head in, I think it's fair to ask his opinion. It's fair for him to decline as well, but that will leave room for assumption, good or bad, right or wrong...that's just how it is.
OK. You go ahead and have fun with your assumptions. What a joke.0 -
I wasn't saying I had an issue with anything. just stating what I have seen.badbrains said:
Hey Hugh, let's be fair here, ya I've attacked him relentlessly. When someone makes a claim about an incident that no one can seem to find anywhere, I'm gonna call them out on it. It amazes me that some of you would actually have an issue with this. And people have seen what this so called public servant thinks about a certain color of people or religion. I'm actually shocked that anyone would find it a problem calling someone out on posts that are supposedly factual but yet no where to be found.HughFreakingDillon said:
In the past when he has, he has been severly flamed and personally attacked. Cant say i blame him for his silence, but I would not have entered the discussion at all, especially with the suggestive wording used in that post.josevolution said:

Edit-and to be really fair, I'm pretty much the only guy who's gone on to call him out so if you're gonna point the finger at someone, at least point it at that person directly.
as an aside: just because you can't find something on the internet, doesn't mean it didn't happen. A friend of mine is a cop, and he once told me it would make my jaw drop the stuff that the media/police agency doesn't release about criminal activity in the "best interests of society".

my statement "but I would not have entered the discussion at all, especially with the wording used in that post" was directed at him, not you. to come out and say "hmmmm.....I wonder why" and then refuse to elaborate is asking for flaming.josevolution said:
Really all I did was ask him his opinion on this incident , why wouldn't we want to hear his opinion as I can remember he always bad mouths the ghetto community's ...you know what it's ok I shouldn't of expected any difference ....HughFreakingDillon said:

but people making huge assumptions (not you) because he chooses not to speak up is a bit much.

Musky don't like black people. Thinks they are criminals and deserve what they get. And he's a cop. That's the point.
Not making assumptions and would bet he's agreeing with my post as do many here. Hate this pussy footing around.

Here we go. I should just be grateful i was born white and keep my mouth shut. People of color have it way worse than me and I should just be glad I had the opportunities from being white. I am fucking tired of the that bullshit. I worked hard for everything I have. I joined the Army and seen black NCOs favor black soldiers, did that make me not work hard, no it made me work harder. Using white privilege as an excuse is just another crutch that the weak use.

you know, you see a lot of that sentiment where I live with regards to aboriginals. even a local politician basically got his mayoral campaign ruined (and he was the front runner) because his wife posted a rant on facebook very similar to this one.Dirtie_Frank said:Here we go.

being born into the situation they are born into is not simply solved by "hard work". there is so much more to it than that.

I understand that but to say there are not programs and help to get people better is bullshit too. There are opportunities that help people to get ahead. Is it easy, of course not, but nothing is life is easy. You can either be swallowed by the problem or rise above it.HughFreakingDillon said:

Frank yes I've seen the discrimination in Army as you've rightfully pointed out. It is bad.Dirtie_Frank said:Here we go. I should just be grateful i was born white and keep my mouth shut.

But if you think for a second you have it as hard as a black male in the US general population, sorry don't know what to say.
I know for a fact I'm treated better by the police. Period
I know I have more opportunities being white.
This thread is about another black man killed by white cop.

the programs that are out there are a joke. seriously. a fucking joke. lipstick on a pig. talk to people who have been in the system, and you learn how incredibly difficult it is to utilize those programs, and you understand why they are so underutilized. people think that they don't WANT to be helped, don't want to use those resources, it's just not true.Dirtie_Frank said:

a guy I work with and went to school with once proclaimed "I have a native guy on my hockey team...he did it, why can't the rest?!". coming from a white upper class guy, that's a fucking joke. he doesn't have a sweet clue. he also thinks more funding for rapid transit is a waste of money. why? oh yeah, he doesn't need the bus. he has a shiney new car that he keeps in his giant new house.
ignorance is bliss.

How do we make it fair then? Police have an enormously hard job. The shit bag in SC did not, but for the most part cops do the right thing. They are just people, some make mistakes and some abuse their power. We will never have a perfect police force. We just need to make sure when someone fucks up they are handled appropriately, but we also need to give them the benefit of the doubt because when push comes to shove I do not want them second guessing a bad situation.96 Randall's Island II

in the US, it is getting increasingly difficult to recruit people to become cops. so when you have fewer choices, you can't make the process of becoming one more stringent. I think this is part of the issue. the right people need to be in these positions. they need better pay and stricter guidelines on getting in (psychological being one of them), not to mention STAYING IN. there needs to be an outpouring of PR from the forces to help people believe that police keep them safe, not that they are the enemy. make it a priority INSIDE the force to make sure your cops are psychologically sound.
in Canada, I believe, cops are paid VERY well. like our teachers are. you can't skimp on these professions. they are simply too important for societal health. while the poor don't necessarily have BBQ's with local cops, I don't believe they fear them.
those are but a few suggestions that won't even begin to scratch the surface of repair. But I think it's a start.

I understand that there is still a lot of racism. I will not lie I have said some hateful stuff I wish I could have taken back, but we know some words when spoken can't be taken back (sorry I had too
). In the current case there was another disproportionate amount of black cops to population. Just stating that does not make me feel the town has issues. If there was a report that only 10% of black applicants were accepted to become police officers then I would say there is an issue. You are right there needs to be a screening and maybe random follow up screenings to ensure we do not have a psyco with a badge and a gun.
