Sitting while Black

[MachZer0]

At least 3 people here noticing you seem unfairly biased toward police in these discussions. Feel free to keep writing this off as personal attack or disrespect.

Some people would start to wonder if everyone else disagreeing with them might be a sign. Others are adamant that they are a poor persecuted minority but corrcet no matter what. I guess it's your choice.

Frankly speaking, there seems to be an unfair bias against policemen in these discussions

Unfortunately for any officers of the MPD who aren't criminal gangsters, the ones that are have eroded the public trust enough that when people see their uniform, it equals this one:

If there are any officers in the MPD with integrity, they need to get with the Serpico act real quick or get painted with the same brush.

Although this was the SPPD, who appear to be a bit more old-fashioned.

If you want to call it that. Sorry man, I didn't realize this was in St Paul's skyway (much smaller, far less intricate, for those who haven't lived in MN). Yeah, SPPD has some decent officers, it also has some Eric Holder is failing to prosecute for going forfeiture for profit on non-convicts cars & pocketing the cash. Wow man. . . . I just deleted one ookle of a rant . .. . suffice to say. . . . this stuff happens all the time over on the Minneapolis side. It hit my radar because it actually got out. . . of course we are ONLY hearing about it because it happened on the St.Paul side. That figures.

MPD would have gotten a couple of club hits in.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have been two the twin cities numerous times in the past for business.

Isn't the twin cities a fairly liberal area, compared to other parts of the United States?

Also, how has the media in the area been reporting this case? Have they tried to expose the fact the bank guard called the cops in the first place more, or the actions of the police?

If you operate on the false assumption that liberal != racist, I can understand that question, but liberals can be racists also. In my experience, liberal racism is a different style of racism. When it comes to police racism, I don't think the politics of the state matter, I think it has more to do with the personality the police force attracts/hires.

My own personal opinion is, I would equate liberal with being less racist against minorities, but more prone to claim racism when none exists.

I can agree with the rest of your post.

That, and quite racist against whites. I mean, the national Democratic platform officially supported racist quotas for a long time. It's nit in their recent revision, but the hatred is still there

When they dress up like paramilitary goons, can we really be surprised when they act like paramilitary goons?

If thugs are encouraged by government and society, it is necessary that police do more to preserve peace.

Thugs? Like those who defend tax evader Cliven Bundy or harbor Eric Robert Rudolph?

If that's the case we should expand the IRS and NSA.

Here is a video I missed earlier, it shows Chris Lollie being accosted for sitting in the skyway. Notice another random guy shows up and sits down while on the phone, he is not told to leave... it's no surprise that he's white.

Indeed. An edited video that admits leaving things out

What things does it admit leaving out?

The claim is sections are left out where nothing is happening. That's the claim. It was highly edited though

How is all the edited nothing relevant?

We don't know what was edited out. What we do know is that the entire incident was the result of noncompliance with a police officer. He brought everything on himself, possibly intentionally like a setup

Bow and scrape and nothing will happen to you (probably), but stand on your rights and you deserve to be tazed?

Producing your ID when asked by a police officer is not bowing and scraping. It happens every day in every city.
