Exactly as has been said, blacks have to worry about the cops, no matter their color and the community has more to worry about from cops of color than they do white cops. This is another fact of living black that is out of mind to those that are not black. 

This incident serves as a reminder and a warning. A reminder that the badge is not here to protect and serve the community and a warning to the youth that the badge is not their friend.

Stay away from them, out of their way. Until a change comes in training, through whatever means, no police officer should be sent on a mental health emergency, they should only be dispatched in pairs with a supervisor aware of CAD info, not allowed to drink energy drinks on duty, establish new guidelines for less enforcement of civil issues, with a remade policy of law enforcement, not feelings enforcement, to prevent confrontations. Require officers to be explanatory of laws related to reason for contact.

This man died at the hands of the "elite" squad of cops. Now, that entity is no more, as it appears it was another of those gangs that operated with impunity, unleashing terror on the citizens of the city.

Atlanta once had their ' Red Dog Unit" and Dekalb had their "Black Cats." Both disbanded because of continued complaints from the community concerning bad cops, abusing their power.

I say redistribute the funds to address the needs of public safety. There is such a need that given attention, funding and other resources, it could have an impact whereas the effect on the shifting of funds would clearly be justified.

If this is true and one of the officers had a Motive - does this in the least change your opinion on this situation?

I have always had a feeling that this scorpion unit had a "Training Day" vibe to it. I have seen other quotes from people in the neighborhood that these guys were dirty and basically a gang with badges. I am thinking this kid had dirt on these guys and threatened to expose them to his girlfriend and it got back to them through her brother or something. Maybe this was a hit on the kid but the intention was to intimidate and scare him from saying anything but it went too far.  I don't think the intent was to kill him just fuck him up some to keep him quite. Just a theory based of some of the stuff I read that the MSM won't run.

There are dirty units getting busted all the time. I remember when this went down in Baltimore involving the "Gun Trace Task Force" guys 

 

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/seven-baltimore-cops-indicted-federal-racketeering-n727716

Seven Baltimore police officers were indicted Wednesday for federal racketeering crimes ranging from filing false overtime claims while actually at a casino to robbing a driver during a traffic stop.

One of the cops is facing a separate charge for drug distribution.

Investigators said the crimes — some of them committed by some members of the elite Gun Trace Task Force — took place last year as the Department of Justice investigated the Baltimore Police Department for use of excessive force, among other violations. The racketeering investigation was conducted in secret over the past year as part of what officials described as a sweeping reform effort across the department.

 

"They were involved in stopping people who had not committed crimes and not only seizing their money but pocketing it," he said. "These are really simply robberies by people who are wearing police uniforms."

Here we see that the Hispanics that do not claim Hispanic or Latino, 12.5 million, identify as "white" only.

I would like to hear more about this strange population who identify as Hispanic but not as Hispanic.

Direct your query to the Census Department.

I just report the facts........according to those tasked with the job of performing that which we are discussing.

[concha]

Per Census Quickfacts:

Race and Hispanic Origin
White alone, percent	 75.8%
Black or African American alone, percent(a)	 13.6%
American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent(a)	 1.3%
Asian alone, percent(a)	 6.1%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, percent(a)	 0.3%
Two or More Races, percent	 2.9%
Hispanic or Latino, percent(b)	 18.9%
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent	 59.3%

 

18.9% of the population is Hispanic (all races)

75.8% of the population is White alone

59.3% of the population is White alone, not Hispanic or Latino

 

So... 75.8 - 59.3 = 16.5

Therefore 16.5% if the population is White alone, Hispanic or Latino

That means just 2.4% of the population (18.9% - 16.5%) is Hispanic, but does not fall under the racial categorization of "White".

Or, put another way, less than 13% of the Hispanic population is not under the category of "White alone".

And the thing is we are talking centuries of biased policing.  

I had a convo with my mom a while back on policing in her southern jim crow town in ark.  (~1950s) As a teen she’d help her mom work cleaning a few houses in the white communities, she said police would come around after work hours and herd the black workers out of the white neighborhoods back into their side of town. (This is their serving and protecting) Stragglers were arrested or beat. 

I was reading the stories of the Little Rock 9 when the fed gov integrated schools and read how quickly the police abandoned their duty to protect n serve the black students and their families. It was pathetic! 

But magically in 2023, in view of recent acts and the history of policing we blacks are to trust them and serenade them with flowers and gratitude.  

Old Black people in the South called white people Paddies.  I wondered why when my Granny would have conversations she would say.  You can't trust them damn paddies or I hate them Paddies and this was in the 70s and 80s.  I came to learn during my studies.  That term came from Slaves during slavery when they loaded captured blacks in Paddy wagons.  You know the slave Patrols that are the forefathers of American policing as late as the 60s in the Jim Crow South they were doing this under Truancy and vagrancy laws targeting  black men.  Peonage (Slavery by another name). You can't talk about your experience.  MLK was hated but now the revisionist magically claim to love him.  Those same Cops abused him.  Malcolm expressed it only as he could.  "The same man that sell you liquor. Will then turn around and lock you up for being drunk".  It's not about cops killing Blacks.  It's the racial policies targeting them and abusive nature in contact.  I would bet my house there are more illegal drug use among the kids in West Plano than Duncanville kids. 

paddy wagon
The term Paddy Wagon actually goes back to the early 1700s in southern states when big tough unskilled Irish immigrants were hired to pursue runaway slaves .  Slave patrols—also known as patrollers, patterrollers, pattyrollers or paddy rollers—were organized groups of armed men who monitored and enforced discipline upon slaves in the antebellum U.S. southern states. The slave patrols' function was to police enslaved persons, especially those who escaped or were viewed as defiant.

A Genius.

They're still comparing today to the 1850's.

Folks vote for the same party that sought to maintain their enslavement.

They get them in control of the mayorship, the city council, the schools and the police. Even the governor and presidency at times. Often they are black.

So they have their chosen people (who swear to help them). For decades and decades. They CONTROL the SYSTEM. They ARE the SYSTEM.

But we still have to hear about Seamus O'Toole (died 1871).

You might want to double-check whom we bombed.

But the Chinese did have it rough in this country for a long time.

The Page Law (1875), the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882), the Scott Act (1888), the Geary Act (1902), together many local legislative acts -- all aimed to exclude the Chinese from full participation in American life.

I think so.

17th century slave traders --> 18th and 19th century slave patrols --> 19th & 20th century Jim Crow enforcers --> contemporary police; therefore, contemporary police = 17th slave traders.

19th century Democratic Party --> early 20th century Democratic Party --> contemporary Democratic Party; therefore, contemporary Democratic Party = 19th century Democratic Party. 

The former is an important, insightful, and valid inference regarding a major American institution. The latter is not.

Aaaaaahhhh.... I see now.

White 17th century slavers >> 18th century white slave patrols >> 19th & early 20th century white Jim Crow enforcers >> contemporary black cops commanded by black police chief commanded by mostly black city council = 17th century white slavers.

Crystal clear.  👍

Sometimes the race of the person employed, or in charge, or even giving an opinion is important; other times, it's not.

The color of police departments and police chiefs may have changed over the last several decades, together with the color of those governmental organizations who oversee police departments; but the real objective of the police, which is to enslave and oppress Black people, hasn't changed.

Right.

Which explains why generations of both black and white Democrats - who have been swearing to help out black folks for basically a lifetime now - are so ineffectual.  They're nostalgic folks who respect traditions.

Thus contemporary black cops commanded by black police chief commanded by mostly black city council = 17th century white slavers.

I thought the protests against police brutality and the BLM movement were motivated by cops killing Black people.

I thought the idea was that since the cops kill a disproportionate number of Black people, the cops must be racist.
