Yeah I think this is definitely part of the answer.
Though I think there is some guilt on the other side when they’ve treated police departments as if they’re all the same. When every use of force against even the most vile of criminals, in legitimate life or death situations, is somehow proof of their racist tendencies if the perp was a PoC.
- whimsicalism 5y ago> every use of force against even the most vile of criminals, in legitimate life or death situations, is somehow proof of their racist tendencies if the perp was a PoC. Example?
- mostertoaster 5y agoExamples? Isn’t it enough that I feel like it is true? Think about it; if others read my statement and feel it is true they will think it is true. Cops who read it will think it is true as well. The facts might be it is not true, but if you believe the story being told... well it doesn’t matter does it. Which story is being believed, that the cops are evil racists, or that they are good guys with some bad apples? What story is being believed, that blacks are victims who need white mans help? Or that they are glorious victors over even oppression, so much so that the most loved president of the last 20 years is a black man? The facts don’t matter, because we only use them to promote the story we already agree with it?
- mostertoaster 5y agoDon’t believe me? Is covid such a deadly virus we should have lockdowns and mandates that 40% of the population disagree with? Yes? What is the story you have believed in this situation, and what are the facts? We had the same amount of drunk driving deaths here in my county the last month as we did covid. Yet bars are open, school children still wear masks.
