Are black police officers who shoot black suspects, racists?

A big overreaction to a few bad apples.

Nothing to fear.

When these activist groups are attempting to kill innocent people and injure and maim police officers who are just out there keeping the peace, you can not call them protests or discussions (what a silly word) - they are riots.

I do agree with you they are riots and should be condemned.

I read a quote from a BLM leader who also was minister and he said condemning those who riot is like condemning man who is being drowned for thrashing about. On so many different levels, I not felt that was a very poor analogy but it was very irresponsible.

BLM leaders would have much more legitimacy if they were critical of bad apples in their groups. But, it seems the protesters (rioters) can do no wrong. I doubt you would ever see Obama or Hillary or any other Democratic leader being very critical of any black activists who are misbehaving.

I thought your previous post was good but I would add that certain dangerous high crime areas will cause police to be more wary of suspects. These are usually high poverty areas and tend to have more blacks. Certain dress and mannerisms by both blacks and whites will communicate to police this might be a dangerous person.

I do disagree with the epidemic label. I think the media inflames that idea.

And yes there are both bad and simply poor policemen, but epidemic? No.

This is where you are wrong. If you are black you get harassed by racist cops in all areas, rich and poor. They fvck with us in high crime areas and if we are in middle or high income areas they fvcking with us too. I live in Pa and I know right now there are white neighborhoods that I cannot go to because I will definitely get stopped by the police. No doubt. So it's bull when you say cops are wary of blacks because it's a high poverty areas.

It would probably be an eye-opening experience for a white person to be a black person for a day. I am pretty conservative and doubt I appreciate how hard-working black people are viewed suspiciously by police.

So, you've got nothing. Got it.

But "yawn", most impressive indeed!

I wonder how this could even be considered a legitimate question. Being racist has nothing to do with one's own skin color. It has everything to do with one's thoughts, attitudes, words and actions concerning others. In particular, are those thoughts, words and actions based upon race.

So why would the OP be asking if black police officers who act in certain ways are racist as if the color of their skin had anything to do with it? Hate to say it this way, but isn't the OP's question fundamentally racist?

That house negro wrote an article on this blog saying there is no police brutality. read it below

There is also a youtube video of him making the same point

And what is so offensive about BLM?

BLM proponents feel that police are racially biased and much quicker to shoot a black person than a white person. Now many of the police involved in the controversial shootings, such as in North Carolina, were black.

Do you think black police are racially biased and more likely to shoot a black person?

Armed police attempting to arrest what might be a dangerous criminal is a potentially explosive situation. People react differently and have different levels of composure. Some obviously don't handle it well and some don't respect life that much. How many times a day does these an encounter happen in the US? How many times do things go wrong.

Is it due to racially biased police? If you are a BLM supporter do you think the black police are quicker to kill a black suspect acting strangely?

You're racist for even asking. Racist.

I have morals and integrity. Going to work each day to take away people's money and freedom is not something I'm interested in.

I have few morals and little integrity. I'd love to be a cop. Confiscating booze from underage kids, intimidating "pros" into providing freebies, and exercising vigilante justice would be pretty enjoyable.

Ok....You're in 😀 All you need to do is produce a copy of a high school diploma, achieve a minimal passing grade doing push-ups and sit-ups and be able to run around the block.

After getting hired, you must say "Yes, sir" dozens of times per day to another jerkoff dressed just like you. Good luck on your new career path.

There is no epidemic, its a biased media for the most part. A good friend of mine was an LAPD detective, and a number of other friends of mine were patrol officers. Some black, some white, some hispanic. My uncle was a cop, one son of his an FBI agent, the other a patrol officer and detective, now head of security for a large Casino in the Northeast. What i can tell you is that the cops I knew were wary of suspects in any dangerous neighborhood, be it a white, black or hispanic area. They don't, for the most part discriminate relative to color, only the probability that someone might kill or injure them while on the job. Its only worse in this PC day and age, when there seems to be an increasing tolerance for the erosion of law and order, and celebration of it by the media and local politicians............think Baltimore "we have to give them space to destroy". What drivel.

Have you heard of Uncle Ruckus?

(Really I am just disappointed in you. You're trolling just like you did before. You learned nothing - I expected better)

Question - what do you call a sniper that shoots blanks?

A video by the wife of the guy shot (not the body camera videos) at the Charlotte shooting was released.

You can hear the cops saying drop the gun repeatedly.

She at first is telling the cops he doesn't have a gun and won't hurt you then she is saying to her husband Don't do it. Don't do it.

My personal opinion is that it will be very hard to get a conviction for this case. Others may look at the evidence differently.

When the rioters see this, will they think it was worth it to loot and break windows and beat up people and throw rocks at cars?

Unfortunately, true.

Oh please. White people are allowed to stand-up against the police far more than black folks can.

Unfortunately, again, this statement is true. Whites have more latitude in 'acting out' towards cops.

Cops know they can shoot black people without harming their career.

False to the extreme.

I think that the OP's question is clearly racist. Isn't it pretty much the textbook definition of racism? "If a black person blah blah blah does that mean yadda yadda yadda?" The fact that the OP insinuates that it matters if the police officer is black is clearly using a racist starting point.

Doesn't mean the OP is a racist. He could just be trying to point something out. Don't know what. Bu I don't know the OP from Adam either so I can't say for certain that he/she is a racist.

Yes brain washed.

Black police officers = Samuel L Jackson from Django

Actually I was just asking a question.

Many people are quick to believe if a white policemen shoot a black some degree of racism is involved. I wondered if they felt the same way when a black policemen shoots a black. I am thinking people are less likely to think a black policemen is racist against black people. Am I wrong on that?

Seriously, I don't see how the question is racist.
