To go further I was always told to never touch a minor no matter what. That it will lead to bad news once you are an adult. I don't know if that is BS or if CA is that liberal of a state but I've let many a teenager slide over the years.

Things arent black and white my friend. Or they are if you need to meet quota. Cops see blacks as criminals. plain and simple.

Cops are brutal by nature. How can someone walk around with mace, batons, guns, handcuffs tazers and not be going on a power trip and just itching to use that stuff?

I think you may need to consider using the word "some." I'd hate to see you get too lost in your own propaganda.

See, cops are not brutal by nature. That is just preposterous.
But perhaps some cops are brutal by nature.

Cops dont see blacks as criminals. Quite a bold statement.

You are aware that there are black cops too, right?

Sure there are some cops who are black. Doesnt mean they arent a traitor to their race. Look at Obama. As maher said, "we voted in a black man, what we got was a white president instead". Obama is black, half black, and he's the most middle of the road guy you could get. Theres not a radical bone in Obama's body. I dont give Obama a pass just because of the pigment of his skin. its clear he he more than a little conservative in his views. He's a centrist to rightwing democrat. Thats not a trait I view as worthy of respect.

Money and power rule all. Theres prison guards and CO's who are black too. They see first hand the disgusting stuff the system does to black men. But you sell your soul to be a part of that game.

The sexism and racism and classism inherent in the system really has nothing to do with whether those in power are a certain color. I think its more about greed and patriarchy. And control.

Speak for yourself, please.

Fuck me if this thread hasn't degenerated...and it's too bad, because there have been some excellent points made that I (for one) took to heart. Made me re-think things some, and not because of any kind of know-it-all attitude.

Really appreciate those who, whether or not I'm in agreement, made their points with reason and respect.

Refusing jury service is a slap in the face to wrongfully convicted people everywhere.

I seriously can't wait to be called for jury duty. I hope it's some black kid that gets arrested for one joint and the rest of the jury wants to lock him up for years. I will be the one that votes to acquit. No victim, no crime. I will nullify an unjust law.

Didn't happen. Only white people are racist.
