The US policing crisis thread

[heganboy]

Michael brown, freddie gray (#drugdealerslivesmatter) and eric garner would all be alive if they the police had obeyed the law.

Fixed that for you

[J70]

Stew can explain for himself here, but the only connection I can see to Obama is this meme that is so prevalent on the right that race relations have somehow deteriorated under Obama, which explains Black Lives Matter. The right, at least the Fox News/talk radio right, does not recognize or accept that blacks still suffer discrimination, and thus see any protests against police brutality or, lately, incidents such as the Missouri university one, as blacks trying to claim false victimhood. The ironic thing is that these are the same people who are now gearing up the annual "War on Christmas" bullshit (see the Starbucks cup "scandal" this week) and are forever lamenting the perceived sorry lot of the white christian in the US (See Huckabee, Cruz et al. in the Republican primaries). That all of this black protest has happened under Obama is not a coincidence to them, with his utterly innocuous statement about Trayvon Martin used as evidence that he is trying to incite racism. The idiots cannot see that the reaction against police brutality has occurred because, in the aftermath of Martin's homicide, the reality that black men do in fact suffer as a result of societal preconceptions and prejudices has been repeatedly thrust into the spotlight due to Youtube and the fact that everything is now captured on mobile phones. This was coming to a head regardless of whether Obama was president or not. Black people have decided they are going to highlight this shit when it happens and not go silently any more. And I say fair play! The only actual real connection I can see to Obama is that society has reached a point where a black president can be elected and perhaps the Black Lives Matter thing has benefited from the same societal evolution.

lol...if kicking up a stink about an email regarding Halloween costumes or a frat boy only allowing white girls into a keg party isn't false victimhood I don't know what is (Yale)

Yes, because one or two frivolous complaints (assuming for the sake of argument you are correct) delegitimizes everything else.

Away back to Fox News with you...

Puts that campaign into perspective of what it really is, an excuse to do whatever you want and pull out the race card to gain traction.

Let's hope you get no sympathy if a cop guns you down for bitching to him about being pulled over for speeding.

I mean, you would have deserved it because you were breaking the law.

Whitey if people think in this day and age it is still ok to wear blackface or to refuse people entry to a party specifically because of their skin colour, that is not false victimhood. It is the smaller incidents such as these that enable the bigger ones to happen. Racism works by denying the humanity of those discriminated against and whilst the protestors at Mizzou might be oblivious to irony, the basic message of making campuses free from prejudice is laudable.

Civil rights activists died for the right of minorities to attend institutions such as Yale and Mizzou - letting white  frat boys roll back those freedoms just for the thrill of transgression is pathetic and the institutions should be responding in a far more aggressive manner to them.

May I be bold enough to suggest you actually spend 5 minutes reading about what happened (2.5 mins from each side) before you get on your high horse

Or perhaps its a case of utter stupidity or (hopefully for the sake of your intelligence, if not your honesty) willful ignorance on your part?

But let's take it one step at a time. First...

If a cop pulled you over for going a wee bit over the speed limit or having a broken rear light, do you think there would be no case to answer if he ended up shooting you or choking you to death because you gave him a bit of mouth?

The Hunger Striker, you know, the Mizzou hunger striker who feels he is being kept down by the white man, Guess what?

BREAKING NEWS: You know Jonathan Butler, the Mizzou student that started a hunger strike because he wanted the school's president fired for something he had no part in? It turns out he comes from a family with a net worth of over $20 million!!!
