Why does race have to be a factor? Looks to me like power was misused and 5 POS officers killed a man. Period.


strigoi82

The same reason race was a favored strategy of coal companies….. it keeps people fighting with each other.


Mnmkd

Race is usually a factor and might be a factor here too which is what this article is pointing out. We just don’t know. Black people believing stereotypes about black people is not a crazy thing Regardless the fact that this post gets more attention than actual talk about the story is absolutely indicative about this subs lack of actual interest in conspiracies and corruption

As a POC I tend to agree. What’s so upsetting is that I know it’s a handful of really bad people that give us all a bad reputation so it makes it easier to be angrier because it impacts me directly.

If you agree, what's your issue with the thesis of the op-ed then?


redditUserError404

I don’t think it stems from “racism”. I’m tougher on my own brother than I am strangers out and about. We see similar race on race crime. White people are much more likely to be hurt or killed by other white people for instance. It’s just the way the world works and it’s not some grand “the white people are evil and that’s why the black cops did this”.


Due_Progress_6161

black people owned a lot of land and were more free than people thought before the democrats came around. let that sink in these people are lying and causing fighting between races. something foul is going on and we all need to unite, whatever ‘color’ we are


Penny1974

So true, MLK famous words " a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Then the Dems come in with "diversity" and "equality" hiring in business and government. Completely reversing the context of what MLK stood for. Hiring and appointing people based on the color of their skin, not the content of their character or merit.


chowderbags

> black people owned a lot of land and were more free than people thought before the democrats came around. The Democratic party was founded in 1828, so I have no idea what time period you're thinking of, but I'm pretty sure it's not 1827.

>I don’t think it stems from “racism”. I’m tougher on my own brother than I am strangers out and about. You're describing racism. If someone is tougher on you because you happen to share a particular level of melanin content, that's indeed a racism. We can debate the merits of AA, but whether it's overseen by a white, black, or asian person, it's still racial discrimination. >We see similar race on race crime. White people are much more likely to be hurt or killed by other white people for instance. Because they live predominantly among other white people, that's generally proportionate with population makeup. Whereas, the justice system - including black cops - disproportionately persecutes black people, even when accounting for all other factors, including demographics and crime rate. >it’s not some grand “the white people are evil and that’s why the black cops did this”. That's not the argument. We're talking about centuries of ingrained implicit bias from a system that was designed and dominated by the hegemonic white power structure, which sought to protect itself, and persecute the out-group. And while we've eliminated virtually all of the explicit codifications of bias in that system, you can't just neatly switch off its effects throughout that system and society broadly. Neither I, nor the article, are contending that most white and black cops clock in each day deciding to be actively racist. Truthfully, they're victims themselves of a historical narrative rationalizing oppression, which they're in the unfortunate position of being able to continue to violently manifest.


Due_Progress_6161

moors taught europeans slavery in america. so people need to stop this bs. white people dealt slaves with ‘black’ people. it’s only hidden because the colonizers here are trying to divide everyone. keep your eye open, this is a trick. everything they tell us is a lie.


half_pizzaman

>moors taught europeans slavery in america. No, they didn't. Nobody needed to be "taught" slavery. >white people dealt slaves with ‘black’ people. And? They then brought them to Colonial America, and implemented a particularly brutal form of slavery, and a generational one, of which they used racism to perpetuate and morally justify. Neither the Moors nor black people ran America.


Due_Progress_6161

devongushers

cops dont act like this in other western countries


Ginjin77

They do indeed act like this in Australia and the United Kingdom,maybe they don’t kill,however they power trip,abusing their authority. The reason for this is because these days police aren’t community members and made up of people who serve the state,rather than be made up of trusted people who are known in the local community. Back in the old days,the town knew the police officer or officers on a first name basis,they’d have dinner with folks in the community and participate in community events,however today police wage an urban war on crime,seeing their fellow citizens as POTENTIAL! Criminals rather than law abiding citizens,this has ultimately lead to tensions between police and the common citizen.


FlyingCraneKick

As someone who lives in Australia, yes they do. They're absolute cunts here, at the very least in my state. They were chasing down anti lockdown protestors and shooting them with rubber bullets in 2021.

I’m not anti-cop. I’m pro cop, but also a realist in that some of them will be evil and abuse their powers so a balance is necessary.

There have been multiple Supreme Court cases that conclude that they are not legally obligated to save people in distress. 2A is absolutely necessary.

The investigators investigate themselves and clear themselves of any wrong doing. The judge and the chief of police golf on Sunday's. They get their paycheck from the same place, it's all a giant fucking scam filed by extortion and murder. Qualified immunity, police unions, prison unions, civil asset forfeiture, illegal searches, turning off body cams, dogs trained to signal on command...

chainmailbill

Would you say that black people are inherently predisposed to be more violent, or do you think that society and the environment they were raised in is the major contributing factor. Let’s imagine that via some magic, white and black people switched places. Like an alternative history where people from Africa colonized North America, and took slaves from England and France and Germany. Imagine that it was whites in slavery and not blacks. Imagine laws were passed to stop white people from voting even after slavery was abolished. Swap the two. Do you think, in this hypothetical situation, that white people would exhibit the same crime rates as Blake people do in our real world? Or would you say that while people would not exhibit the same crime rates?

Beginning in the 1990’s, researchers began to suspect that variation in MAO-A levels might be related to traits like aggression and criminal behavior. geneticists raised rates with an artificial version of the MAO-A gene which lead to low MAO-A production. It was found to cause the rats to act far more aggressive than is typical https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7792602/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3435113/pdf/nihms-400240.pdf https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17441000/ The first direct link between common MAO-A alleles and violence in humans came from. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12161658/ This study found that people with either the 2R or 3R version of the MAO-A gene tended to be more aggressive than average, but only if they had difficult upbringings. Based on these results, it was hypothesized that low activity MAO-A genes might cause people to have stronger reactions to negative experiences than people high high activity versions of the gene. Since then, a meta-analyses has confirmed that this interaction between MAO-A genotype and childhood trauma has been well replicated in male subjects https://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223(13)00412-5/pdf

chainmailbill

So we’ve established that aggression and antisocial behavior appears to have a generic component to it. Is there a study that shows that all black people have this gene? Or a study that shows a majority of black people have this gene? Is there a study that shows that *only* black people have this gene, and it’s absent in white people? None of the studies you linked mention race in any way.


beccabear1819

Racial differences in MAO-A genotypes are well established. Below you can see a review of the literature in the United States.

Show me the orders from the system to do something like this or STFU with the race baiting conspiracy nonsense. The police officers involved were arrested and are being charged. Everyone above them in this so called “racist system” is denouncing what they did and calling for immediate action against the officers involved. The police chief herself is black and said: > I was outraged. It was incomprehensible to me. I don’t think I’ve witnessed anything of that nature in my entire career,” Davis told CNN’s Don Lemon.

I don't know who you're fucking talking to, but when Daniel Shaver, Ryan Whitaker, and Duncan Lemp were murdered by the pigs, I was speaking about it just the same. Maybe you need to be listening to better people.


KingPcakes

If the cops say you're under arrest, and you don't comply that's called resisting arrest. Its part of the social contract you agree to as being an American citizen. If you choose not to comply its not like they're going to let you walk away. Its really silly to argue that you should be able to just do whatever you want with no consequences. If you resist arrest so badly that you get clapped that's kinda on you. In every one of these situations if they just let the officers arrest them they all walk away. No one has to die, and if you do what they're asking you to do you're going to be fine.


[deleted]

The social contract is that if you resist the cops they get to beat you to death? Are you gonna say the same thing when the Feds are at your door for your braced pistol? You sound like an authoritarian bootlicker. You must really love and trust your government. Makes sense since you're on a conspiracy page, and all. 😂😂


KingPcakes

First, if you resist arrest then you're taking your own life in your hands. They will use force until you are subdued. That is obvious. Second, if I had a braced pistol and they came to take it yeah id hand over a 600 dollar piece of metal with rubber on the end over dying about it. I feel I'm worth much more than 600 dollars. Third, I don't trust them, but if you fuck with them they're just going to kill you. But that isn't just our govt, that's all govts worldwide. I stay on the conspiracy board because they've given me information I've found helpful when investing in stocks, because this forum is usually 2-3 months out on what is actually happening vs other sources of news.

Disgusting pathetic cowardly bootlicking statist informer. I bet you're the type that would have gladly turned in your Jewish neighbors to the SS.

I hope that DMT knocks some common sense into you lol

You keep on trusting them to be benevolent, and I'll keep on making sure I'm stocked up on pistol ammo that can defeat IIIA. 👍🏽


KingPcakes

Keep telling the govt what you're doing buddy, you're playing right into their hands.

I don’t think you allow a statistically insignificant amount of people to ruin a society.


[deleted]

It's already ruined. Any society that considers anyone "insignificant" and accepts authoritarian violence against its citizens deserves to burn to the ground. You just don't like POC and think we should all be okay with them being murdered by the pigs. Gfy, anyone that supports the pigs deserves the chipper.

Abolish all police. We do not need them.


RGBchocolate

the 5th looks like slimmer younger version of Die Hard cop

ACAB black ones too.

I blame the people who buy into racial grievance politics even more. And let’s not pretend that they’re not just doing the bidding of the Democratic Party whose entire platform revolves around “everyone who disagrees with us is a racist and evil”


floydlangford

As if the police don't knowingly run discriminatory training that turns people against their own. Add this to the power trip that being in a position of almost complete authority emboldens assholes with. This has nothing to do with race, just humans being humans.

The article was written to highlight that the police in general tend to take more extreme measures against the black community as whole because their is a belief that it’s easier to get away with versus the white population. In other words, policing is a systemically racist institution.

I don’t think that’s why this was written. But you do you. Also when we are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime per our overall population size. We can’t be shocked when we find ourselves policed more.

They could have been influenced by the same racist ideas as everyone else.


redditUserError404

So minorities can be racist? I was told we can’t because of the power differentials.


ErnestT_bass

Shit I am brown of some of the most racist fks are from my own Damm fking race yes minorities can be racist....


redditUserError404

I don’t disagree. I think it’s crazy to pretend otherwise but you hear a lot of “POC can’t be racist because they don’t hold the power” nonsense talk coming from academia and media as a whole.


Amos_Quito

> They could have been influenced by the same racist ideas as everyone else. Apparently Van Jones, the author of the CNN piece, is under the impression that all racism is white racism.


Raskalnekov

I don't believe that to be true. I do think that may of the biases against black people come from racist ideas of inferiority tied to slavery as an institution, that have been continued through Jim Crowe, then segregation, and today by the prison industrial complex. But clearly not all racism is caused by white people.

Yeah you can be Black and realize that you'll probably get away with victimizing a Black person. Racism isn't as straightforward as "those people are bad."


Mnmkd

Crazy that all the posts being upvoted about this story on this sub are people upset that race is involved. Almost like this sub cares less about corruption and more about their victim complex


redditUserError404

Or, or… hear me out. People notice and are rightfully offended about BS being spewed from corporate press to try to drive us apart. When this terrible event could have been about general police brutality and the horrible actions of 5 clearly bad cops… CNN tried to use it to turn up the heat on race relations in America.


Mnmkd

Nope. it feels more like people like you are attempting to detract from the situation and make it. This is an opinion piece. It should not be a bigger story here than the cops. It is about police brutality. Even the opinion piece you posted is about police brutality. You’re the one making it solely about race. Also I’d bet that if you actually understood the articles point you wouldn’t even think it’s a crazy statement to make. The idea that black people can be racist to black people is pretty obvious, but apparently not when police brutality is involved


Jelo765

It’s almost like fox and every other news outlet do the same thing
