If what happened to George Floyd had happened to a white man, you'd never had heard

[SeanTX]

I heard Houston police Chief Art Acevedo interviewed the other day -- not a word said or asked by the interviewer about Dennis Tuttle and his wife, killed by the drug squad led by a corrupt black detective. Though the interviewer did take him to task for using the 'seemingly racist' term "gypsy cops."

Charlamagne said, “you know what white privilege is? White privilege is what happened to George Floyd wouldn’t have happened to A white man.”

Jesus...these people have lost their minds

Tuttle and Nicholas' killer, Gerald Goines:

Where were the Marxist mobs when it took 9 months for charges to be filed against Goines?

The Hodgetwins disagree. Love these guys. If you haven't seen AF, think you'll like this video.

Think they'll have any problem burning you out of your home in Phase II?

They better come in force and be well armed.

They are not being paid to listen to facts.

It's way worse than being paid, it is a personal feeling that they really believe in (brainwashed)....... reminds me of the Godfather........



And just like in Cuba, it just goes to show, just because you really feel something and believe in it, doesn't mean you are right.

ETA - Keep in mind that, unless I made an error (point it out if I did) EVERY SINGLE ONE of the cases that follow were the result of a violent, militarized police encounter that was initiated by a case of mistaken identity, a "welfare check", a case of mental distress or a low level misdemeanor or traffic stop.

None were the result of a shootout with violent, armed felons.

So says Limbaugh.

...

Granted media can be often hypocritical and quite possibe that may have unholy motives behind suppressing 'police brutality' aspect of this story and trying to make it entirely about race. But what is the take away of this discussion? Because police brutality cases are not uniformply highlighted or protested by media/street movements/political leaders ( like Pelosi, Biden,Trump, FLOTUS, Trump daughter etc), calls for reforming police as a result of this case should be dismissed because many other cases had been ignored by media/above cited political leaders/activism groups?
If one is against police state/excessive brutality that impacts all segments of society, what is to gain for the cause by highlighting 'disproportion' in response this time/almost universal support for police reform?

Limbaugh lacks credibility on this issue, he has lengthy track record of championing global police state policies of Bush-Cheney led globalists wars profiteers machine and even TODAY supprts one of the biggest champions of police militarization (Trump reinstated Police militarization, Military gear given to cops tripled last year). Who knows, maybe he thinks many of the brutality examples listed above are like 'frat party' scenes as he had claimed after leaks about abu ghraib prison abuses.

Sudden rise of threads with the term "white" in the aftermath of George Floyd's police torture killing appears to reinforce media's "its solely race issue" narrative actually and can undermine "police brutality" angle that impacts people across the baord.


That said, race is an important factor even today even if not as much as it used to be historically. An argument that people of color still suffer disproportinally due to racial biases/profiling is quite credible despite current atmosphere in US and historic elections of progressive liberal pro-diversity leaders like Obama/Trump by both major parties.


How Police Became Paramilitaries

Military might has always paraded in America’s streets. But it wasn’t until this century that it became an often daily presence. In the 2000s, local law enforcement agencies began to adopt the type of military equipment more frequently used in a war zone: everything from armored personnel carriers and tanks, with 360-degree rotating machine gun turrets, to grenade launchers, drones, assault weapons, and more. Today, billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment—most used, some new—has been transferred to civilian police departments. As the ACLU has documented, this has led to the militarization of American policing.

Law enforcement has, in fact, been training for a moment like this—specifically by learning techniques and tactics from Israeli military services. As Amnesty International has documented, law enforcement officials from as far afield as Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington state, and the D.C. Capitol have traveled to Israel for such training. These programs, according to research backed by Jewish Voice for Peace, focus on exchanging methods of “mass surveillance, racial profiling, and suppression of protest and dissent.” The 2018 report has prompted some cities, such as Durham, North Carolina, to oppose police training with Israeli security partners because of concerns about “subsequent harms to communities of color” in the US.

That has been debunked twenty different ways.

Whites are more likely to be killed by cops than blacks.

Period.

Any attempt to shift this to an ethnic issue as opposed to a training/mindset issue is clouding the point and will not lead to positive results.

There are stats showing that, relative to population?

Recall reading somewhere while back that 80% of US prison population was african-american/hispanic, not sure though how accurate were such reports then or what was the incarceration today that may offer additional clues to any systemic biases/inequities. Granted that would be simplistic metric and other are other complex demographic, economic factors for any crime/incarceration rates review.

BTW, do you support those who have been peacefully protesting and calling for police reforms after the video of torture killing of George Floyd in MN surfaced few days ago?

Yes, in the OP of this thread, among other places.

I've posted them numerous times, where the numbers have been crunched every conceivable way.

BTW, do you support those who have been peacefully protesting and calling for police reforms after the video of torture killing of George Floyd in MN surfaced few days ago?

Not only do I support that idea in principle, I support the idea of resisting, with force, the police state and it's agents.

What is happening is something I have been hollering for, for years now.

But the fact is I take no pleasure in it at all.

Once this issue got tinged with ethnic overtones, once it became Black vs. Blue rather than Blue vs. All of Us, and in turn was hijacked by the Marxists and Jacobins to foment and fuel their revolution, it has become clear that what will replace cops has nothing at all to do with expanding liberty and individual freedom, but will end up being worse.

That is what they have in mind to replace cops: Jacobin/Maoist mobs enforcing, not rights or property, but Marxist purity, with blood.

My blood...and yours.

Scarborough: White Kids that ‘Run Afoul of the Cops Aren’t Shot at’

https://www.breitbart.com/the-media...ids-that-run-afoul-of-the-cops-arent-shot-at/

Trent Baker 16 Jun 2020

In reaction to the recent Rayshard Brooks shooting during a confrontation with Atlanta police, MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough claimed that white kids such as Dylann Roof that “run afoul of the cops aren’t shot at.”

According to Scarborough, if Brooks were white, the situation with police officers “would have never escalated” to the point of getting shot in the back after resisting arrest and taking an officer’s weapon.

“It’s not just about, again, what they are taught on paper, on these reforms that they’re pushing forward in Atlanta, which are good reforms. But … also, they have to look at race and they have to acknowledge race, and they have to understand that if this were a white kid in a white suburban neighborhood in Atlanta that was just sleeping it off, he tried to resist arrest and was lumbering away, cops wouldn’t shoot him in the back. Actually, it would have never escalated to that point. We’ve seen it, you and I have seen it, I’m sure Mika has seen it over our 50 years or so, you’re much younger, of course, but white kids that, you know, run afoul of the cops aren’t shot at. They’re put in the back of police cruisers.”

“They’re given a break,” co-host Mika Brzezinski interrupted.

“And given a break,” Scarborough continued. “And Willie, the fact that this happened in the middle of the George Floyd protests — it wasn’t even linked to the Floyd protests — that this happened with a guy who was trying to sleep it off, on his own, in a Wendy’s parking lot is just beyond outrageous.”
