Are black police officers who shoot black suspects, racists?

So many racists on this board. The police have a bad history of shooting blacks even when they have their hands up. Studies show that this is starting to initiate a PTSD response. The police need to treat blacks with respect if they are cooperating and many are when stopped, not shoot them.

Couldn't be. Rojo told me that he doesn't allow racists posts on the message boards.

But all the recent police shootings have shown that Blacks were not cooperating - Keith Scott, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin. They all had guns or were trying to kill. Why don't blacks get it that you will be fine if you don't exit car gun in hand??!!! Is it that hard?

Yeah, seemed to work out well for Terence Crutcher...

99% of Blacks who act normally during traffic stops will go home. Those who exit with a gun may go home in a body bag - and rightfully so. Do you agree?

Did Terence Crutcher have a gun?

Did Sandra Bland have a gun?

I don't know about racists. But I can say without doubt that Sherriff Clarke is a house negro i.e. a black person who benefits financially by bashing other black people.

The whole reason he makes statements about wanting to beat up other blacks and saying there is no such thing as police brutality is to endear himself to racists and the alt right.

This way he can get book deals and speaking fees.

In today's republican party, the only prominent blacks are the house negro types whose existence is based on bashing blacks. Gone are the days when there were people like Condoleeza Rice who were in the republican party because they are staunch conservatives.

Its not a narrative it is true

Why else would a person make statements like : "There is no such thing as police brutality"

No, it's completely false. It's also offensive.

They are not racially biased. They know the truth by immersion.

Or maybe he won't want to rescue your little P#ssy arse when you are crawled in a ball after a big bad bully wants to kick your behind.

So you have self-identified as stupid.

Congratulations!

Just sounds like an excuse to me. If you're going to talk the talk walk the walk. He claimed incompetence, so he should show us competence. Man up.

Just sounds dumb to me.

So, if one is to claim incompetence of any individuals in any profession then one has to drop what they are doing and join that profession? In other words, nobody can ever criticize anything. Great idea!

Oh, but I do like your "If you're going to talk the talk walk the walk." Really original and really powerful stuff!

Seriously? That's your argument? That only 1% of Blacks who act normally during traffic stops go home in a body bag?

Yeah, that doesn't sound too bad!?!?

Black cops prejudge black suspects as do white cops.

Doesn't matter if you want to call that racist or not.

Are labels important or are the results?

Just being black makes you appear more suspicious and endangers you more.

And innocent black people are scared of this.

Good post.

Since democratic voters are supposedly so intelligent (and 95%+ of AA voters vote democratic), why do these AA "victims" continue to run and expect a good outcome?

Democrat voters are not "so intelligent". Democrats have always (at least for the past few decades) had most of the least educated vote.

Yes, labels are important if you are trying to get rid of the problem. To get rid of a problem, first you have to identify the problem. The things that prevent racist results are not necessarily the same as the things that prevent results based on other mentalities. Stop carelessly throwing around the word "racism".

Facts: whites are killed by police far more than blacks. It is not about race.

I am certaily not offended because its the truth. House Negros have always existed

- During the slavery days it was the negro who snitched on field negros and was rewarded by having a room in the attic

- In the 1930s there were ministrels who acted with stereotypical buffoonery to please white audiences who belived that this was how blacks behaved

- In the 1960s there were blacks who vehemently opposed civil rights and called MLK a communist

- Today you have sheriff clark and others who benefit financially by saying there is no such thing as police brutality.
