Modern cops are total pussies. Complete fucking fraidy cats. We're scared of mean old songs! We're scared of and need to shoot kids! We can't go out without body armour because the world is so terrifying. Every cop you see is quaking in fear of the world.matedog wrote:My brother in law firmly is on board with this: http://pitchfork.com/news/65353-beyonce ... by-police/

Re: Police Misconduct: Tracked
Only in this country could we get a sequence of events like hell day yesterday, and have the end result be the nullification of hard-earned awareness of police brutality against the black community and a reinforcing shot of hagiography for the sanctity of The Badge.

Re: Police Misconduct: Tracked
Christ, what a thing to wake to this morning. As has often been said, it's remarkable that, considering their history in America, black people only want equality and not revenge. This kind of attack is awful, but, all things considered, not surprising. It's just going to invite more violence, but it's not like that was otherwise declining.

Re: Police Misconduct: Tracked
And what really sucks is that even conservatives were getting on board with the brutality angle for the case in MN. There was finally a perfect victim - they murdered a guy who had no police record and doing as he was told. Hell, he was a beloved cafeteria worker in a magnet school. He wasn't a "thug" like the others (NOT my opinion - I think they were all victims of horrific murder).Dr. Medulla wrote:Christ, what a thing to wake to this morning.

Re: Police Misconduct: Tracked
The silence of the NRA and other 2nd A strokers has been quite revealing. Kind of like how they never cite the Black Panthers as inspiration for the modern NRA, now they take a vow of silence on the killing of two black guys legally allowed to carry a gun. It's almost like the principle they claim to defend isn't quite the principle they're really concerned about.JennyB wrote:And what really sucks is that even conservatives were getting on board with the brutality angle for the case in MN.

Re: Police Misconduct: Tracked
I see both NBC News and CNN are running with the "DEADLIEST ATTACK ON LAW ENFORCEMENT SINCE 9/11" big screaming headline this morning.
9/11 was not an attack on law enforcement, you dipshits! Nobody drew up a plan to hijack the planes for the expressed and limited intent of baiting a bunch of NYPD cops into the buildings they were gonna hit, with every civilian victim just some sort of exponential collateral damage aside from Mission Accomplished. Fucking hell, the incidents have NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER.
Last night it was "police assassinations" on the live coverage. You know, because Kennedy died in Dallas that one time so apples = kumquats! Thesaurus...how does it fucking work???

Re: Police Misconduct: Tracked
The use of the word assassination is problematic because an assassination is political (which this was) and the target is specific. As in a particular person or persons, not just a general group. Targeting the police chief for political purposes would be an assassination; killing cops because they're cops isn't. Killing MLK was an assassination; killing black people for being out in public is just another day collecting a salary.Rat Patrol wrote:Last night it was "police assassinations" on the live coverage.

Re: Police Misconduct: Tracked
Gary Johnson blames the war on drugs for shootings
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/g ... ing-225294
Johnson's only partially correct here, I think. The militarization of the police—the arming of cops like soldiers and the treatment of a particular group of citizens as enemies—has a direct link to the war on drugs (see Radley Balko's book on the subject). But the targeting of black people, especially black males, goes back to slavery, the slave codes, and the black codes that emerged after emancipation. Black people out in public, acting as autonomous beings, has always inspired anxiety in whites. They might rape or murder (because they're a lower former of humanity, you see) and need to be considered a threat. Blend the two elements and you get a permanent suspect population and representatives of the state prepared to execute them on the pretext of suspicion. De-militarizing the police would be a significant step in the right direction, but that would only address the lethality, not the culture of persecution.

Re: Police Misconduct: Tracked
Yeah the very way a police officer tends to dress (as well as how they are armed) these days can only reinforce in their own minds that some state of war must exist.Dr. Medulla wrote:Gary Johnson blames the war on drugs for shootings
