So should I not walk into an office building because terrorist blow them up? I mean, because there were a handful of bad cops, we should just act like animals and blow them away!
A doctor made a mistake and killed a family member. Should I go blow away my family doctor?
Who's fault is that?

Dude, DWB, you better have your schit or they write you up, you ain't getting a warning. That's what they do. This is why my wife make sure I have all my papers ready if I ever got pulled over. I got pulled over twice, both tickets, no warnings, going 4 over the speed limit and then going too fast for conditions when I slid into an embankment trying to avoid another vehicle. Got out of both. My neighbor who is a cop basically said if you are black, we pull you over for any infraction, period and let the DA deal with you. I ask what about my white wife, it depends on the nature of the citation.
Well that is before I got into it with the DA about DWB conditions, so they leave me alone. I went on the radio and basically blast the police of doing that and they quit.
My church friend who is a judge says that most blacks who goes before him usually is the child support variety, not drugs or being a thug. hate to say, he is tough on them. One of the ladies at work who has a kid by a white man, he got 30 days in jail from this same judge for trying to avoid paying child support.
It helps when you go to church with him because she complained about it for awhile.

My white friend got a ticket for 2 mph over in Southampton County, Virginia.
You claimed people don't know how to act when approached by a cop, right?

No, I don't and I did not do what you stated that is why I laughed.
He walked up to the car, I push a button, the window went down and ask Sir, why did you pull me over? I was just passing the old lady after everyone else passed me?
Maybe he thought I was being a smartass but I was doing what everyone else was doing and thank goodness the wife was in the car when I went to fight it, it wasted their time. But it was the second time and I told them don't harass me anymore, if I legitimately break the law fine, never will happen, but do not pull me over just for schits and grins or I will really complain. Now being almost best friends with the judge basically gave me hands off to them. They have my car, they have my license, it means don't f*ck with me.
At least your stories are entertaining
My question is why wouldn't an officer stereotype? If the statistics bear out that a certain group of people are more likely to commit crimes then wouldn't logic dictate to scrutinize those people more?
Why shouldn't all this vitriol be pointed at the people who are committing crimes that are making life more difficult on the innocents within that same demographic?

I would imagine this is what is happening in our judicial system.
You may certainly be right. I know those in your camp have aggregated a lot of support to show that is happening. My only question is why shouldn't the innocent be getting pissed with the guilty?

I think your camp is always misconstruing the point.
Nobody is saying that every guy killed from a cop is some innocent angel. But the their punishment for selling cigarettes is death. Whereas a cop's punishment is, at worst, a paid vacation.
As long as that keeps happening, people are going to be pissed - and rightfully so.
The example of the Garner case can be used over and over again because it was the worst form of injustice that I've ever seen in my lifetime. However, this is not the norm. This was an example of a really stupid cop that should never have worn the uniform.

You can call the judge up yourself if you want.
I have people on Facebook on this board that could tell you.
Because you don't believe blacks get targeted everyday DWB makes you a fool.
Ask Toma about stereotyping. He won't lie, he does and at certain level I agree with it.

And he still is using the uniform, no?
I don't know how that is even possible. Its a disgrace IMO. I would like to believe that at some point this will be changed.
But again, its just not valid to use this outlier as the base of the argument. It should be mentioned but to be construed in a way that this type of stuff happens all the time is misleading and very destructive.
