To Protect and to Serve II

[n_huffhines]

Or it's bc it's the second high profile shooting in the same area and the pressure is being intensified..... other police chiefs have been forced to resign across the country when it has involved a minority being shot..... I think it's ridiculous either way when it involves a bad judgement call by an individual officer.

Examples?

Thomas Jackson- Ferguson, Missouri.

It was for his handling of protests

That's not the question for $2000, Alex

Right.

 

[n_huffhines]

Right.

Do you recall the taking of the knee?

 

[n_huffhines]

Garry McCarthy-Chicago.

This may be legit. I can't find what shooting this would be in reference to. Help?

A pretty white lady got shot so heads actually have to roll. Nobody gives a **** about a black cafeteria worker who smokes weed.

This has been a very quiet reaction in the media as compared to the others where white cops shot black people. The media cares for black lives over white lives. Even the ultra-racist and terrible people at CNN noticed.

Fair point, but I care about how the government behaves, moreso than the media.

True, true.

True, true.

Are we friends?

Lol.

I think it's hard to compare a reaction within the governments of Baltimore, Chicago, Minneapolis, Ferguson, etc, unless they have the same leadership. As mentioned earlier this is also the second higher profile shooting like this in recent terms in this city.

The reaction has been different for sure.

Not true. They care about the hysteria they can create via perceived racism. They still don't care otherwise you'd see non stop news coverage of the carnage that goes on daily in black neighborhoods.

You should be forewarned that he has really long legs and a tiny head.

Unfortunately, my family curse is that we have short limbs relative to our height. I'm 6' 2" and my wingspan isn't even 6'. Not good for athletics, tho i am a decent athlete.

I'm 6 feet and a half inch with the same wingspan as height.

Lol, that's what I meant. White on black, yes. Black on black or black on white they don't care about.
