Wow...so all it took was the media notifying the public about a few bad cops, and suddenly an entire black community has a skewed and negative view of the police? What a groundbreaking study lol...
Another response emblematic of someone that didn't read. Perhaps you should read the study.
I wonder what kind of views the police might have of black communities if they experience the worst of those communities firsthand, day in and day out...do you think that might have any relation to all this supposed "racism" we've been hearing so much about? Hmmmm...that's a real head-scratcher...
I wonder if someday we'll see a Harvard study about that?
I love how low the bar is set for police officers, like all that training and professionalism doesn't matter. McDonald's employees have better training and attitudes when working with the public than some police officers, and people offer them a lot less respect.
It's truly great that most police officers can do their job without resorting to temper tantrums and crying about hurt feelings. Many people (officers and the public) will look at what happened to Dejuan Yourse and recognize that, as an organization, the police department needs to ensure that horrible officers need to be kept off the streets. You don't keep such people off the streets by not punishing them and suppressing evidence (like incriminating video evidence). The problem is not the individual officer's abuse of power, but the lack of accountability that comes with that abuse. Trying to paint that as equitable to individual citizens doing wrong is ridiculous.
Many incorrectly saying people always react to the initial case, when many times the original case is not protested because there were no witnesses besides the police. The negative response is often because of the cover-up that ensues, as in the case of Laquan McDonald. Laquan McDonald was killed over a year ago and they're just now recommending the officers be fired, not a recommendation that comes from an ongoing investigation, it is a recommendation that only comes after the leaking of suppressed evidence. It's laughable that someone still wants to argue that the problem is still specific people and not organizational.
The police department is a government entity, when an officer puts on the badge, he carries the power of the state, so let's stop the racist lumping of all black people together because the anti-black posters on this forum attempt to argue that citizens are an organization like the police... except for the fact that, you know, they're not.
I made a thread about a young black man who thought the same thing. He wanted the police defunded...until he was robbed at gunpoint by a black man right outside his apartment. Once that happened...he was asking for an increased police presence lol.
You made a thread that did not match the reality of the story, then tried to falsely attribute statements and words to the man, so yeah, there's that.
