Controversial encounters between law-enforcement and civilians - the omnibus thread

This is the same cop who shot a man on the ground three times in the back because he thought his cellphone was a gun. No charges there either. At least the victim’s estate did get a payout in that case (no fault admitted), which is more than happened here.

This guy REALLY should not be allowed to carry a gun. I mean, how many humans does he have to kill before we figure that shit out?

What the actual fuck?

No, really, how many people have to die by his hand? What in the hell?

Wow, looking at that report, it seems the real thugs in Ferguson work at city hall.

Also, the powers that be there had no problem shirking their own personal responsibility.

3 shot, 2 dead. He’s been on desk duty for the past 4 years. (I think the shooting the guy in the back incident was after the shooting the guy in the car incident).

And honestly, I don’t think not prosecuting him was necessarily the wrong decision. I think it would have been hard to convict him with the evidence. But why the hell is he still being paid with my tax money?

For all the problems Europe has, they sure don’t have this one. Fuck this country.

I tend not to trust racists to tell me whether something’s racist or not, thanks.

The President directly prior to Obama would be an example.

Not that I for one moment doubt the emails about Obama were racist in tone, the point is that, absent context, calling someone a chimp isn’t inherently racist. It’s the context that makes it so.

As you are a proven, admitted racist, then you finally accept that you don’t know what’s racist? That’s good to know.

Although [checks forum] constipated amygdala-bloated blowhards like the Brickhead or Ten-Kyu can’t figure this out, this is a good example of how governments can have instituionalized racism in, e.g. voter registration without clearly violating the law. Simply place huge obstacles in the way of, e.g. driving or registration, but waive the requirements for “the right sort of people.”

All the best,

Just don’t look closely under Europe’s fingernails.

Here’s a terrific article on the findings in Ferguson by Ta-Nehisi Coates: “The Gangsters of Ferguson”. Targeting black people (extremely disproportionately, despite a lower likelihood of violations and contraband) for tickets and fines was a very large portion of Ferguson’s municipal income.

Ha Ha. Funny man. And predictable, too - how Shodie finds any room to cram his head when you’re so far up his ass, I don’t know. But maybe it’s because you have timeshare up all the racists’ asses…

But you’re a liar, too. Or you’d be able to link to somewhere where I admitted to being a racist. And tweaking the noses of KKK-wannabes like you or mags in a pit thread ain’t it.

Goddamn, you’re a complete moron! This is awesome. I am so grateful that you decided to put on this little show. Keep going!

As for the larger report, having grown up in St. Louis, I am shocked, shocked I say to find out that there is racism going on there!

Silberbauer was suspended in 1963; Papon was forced to resign in 1967.

European law enforcement has had plenty of time to get its hands dirty in the half a century (!) that has passed since then. More recent examples might help you make your point a little better.

OK, here

And she isn’t even Muslim. Wanna open that can of worms?

Much better example, yes.

Dude, in sheer numbers of abuse/corruption/rape/racism/murder/brutality/etc., western Europe’s cops are saints compared to the U.S… Please dispute that if you are a dummy, so I know whether I’m dealing with a dumb person or not.

“Yeah, fuck this country! Fuck America, all 1/3 of a billion of its inhabitants! They got evil cops and when they shit they wipe with dry paper instead of using bidets!”

There, can I join your club of geniuses please?

The most disproportionate charge from the Ferguson PD? “Manner of walking along the roadway”.

“African Americans accounted for 95% of manner of walking along roadway charges from 2011 to 2013, according to the report.”

“Walking while black” indeed.
