Two Cops Shot in Hattiesburg

I will go out on a limb and say the difference between what happened to the man above and the people that were shot would be, the people that were shot - were shot by those charged with protecting the population.
Institutional

The terrible thing that happened t the man in the picture above happened at the hands of rioters .
Social chaos

I certainly hope posters can tell the difference

Well don't run from the po po when they say freeze?
Well don't commit crime if the results are bad to worse?
Well be a responsible adult and not do anything to have the po po on you?

Kind of common sense right? If you don't do anything bad or bring attention yourself, stuff like this won't happen. Not saying the cops are not on adrenaline but what they deal with everyday, some can go bad, especially the black cops in Baltimore and the choke hold in New York.

Media sensationalizing everything the cops do to blacks is exploited until black cops or black DA is involved, then it is hush hush. Typical.
I do not see the Media glamorizing the black on black crime that is the worst in the world and I don't see Jesse Jackass and Reb Al Dullton preaching to our youths and young adults that this is wrong. I am doing it in my town but there are not many that is willing to help because they say it is too dangerous or call you an Uncle Tom because I went to school and in high demand for my skills. And I wonder why we STILL have issues. Is it taboo to teach the fatherless kids that crime does not pay unless you are in a coffin?
 
--and for lords sake don't forget your yezzums and sho nufs and a toucha shuck and jive would be nice.

This is a snipit from an interview that will curl your toes.

In the ghettos, government policy, municipal policy for example, denied adequate services, garbage wasn't collected frequently. African Americans were crowded into neighborhoods in the ghetto because so much other housing was closed to them and as a result, housing prices in ghettos were much higher than similar housing in white areas. Rents were much higher than similar housing in white areas ... because you had a smaller supply. It's the basic laws of supply and demand. ... So this created slum conditions. So when African Americans managed to break out of those slums and buy a home in a neighboring area, whites could be persuaded that slum conditions were going to be brought with them. So the real estate agents would go into these neighborhoods and try to panic white families into selling their homes cheap to the real estate agents. They used techniques: They would recruit blacks from the ghetto to walk around the neighborhood pushing baby carriages. They would phone call families in the white area and ask for names that were stereotypically African American. ... All intended to give the impression that this was rapidly turning into another black slum.

" we need to confront our history and stop sanitizing our language and talk openly about what we've done as a nation and what we need to do to undo it. And we can't talk openly if we're going to use euphemisms instead of being explicit about what the reality is."
 
This type of crap forces officers to make difficult real time decisions while liberals and libertarians play Monday morning quarterback.

Ah, the "see this why cops should be above the law" defense

Love it
 
BTW I love the phrase "liberals and libertarians" in the political 4 way ideological grid, that would mean 3/4 of the beliefs believe something. As you generally have 2 stances on freedoms you fall between, libertarian and totalitarian, and then of course liberal and conservative. Of course it's never quite that simple, as you have a variety of things that can land you all over that map, and even off it and on something different, but it's a decent general concept. So if you're a true democrat you'd fall in the liberal/totalitarian side. Meaning you support strong central government, but you're anti-war, anti-corporation, so on so forth. If you're liberal/libertarian, you support using government money for aid, but not to hinder the rights of individuals.

I forget what the 4 corner extreme examples are, I think in the liberal/totalitarian it was Lenin, liberal/libertarian, you have guys like Zinn and Chomsky, conservative/totalitarian is where you have Thatcher, Bush, etc. And conservative/libertarian is where you have Paul and Friedman.

Sadly my political ideology doesn't lend in too many candidates. If you're left you tend to be more authoritarian by nature.
 
Like believing the sun arrives from the west

It doesn't matter what you believe

Somethings just are and the reasoning to say what you did gives credence to bad cops

You are a non-believer in the death penalty correct?

I assume the reasoning is that even if there is the chance that 1 out of a 100 people are innocent then we have no right to kill someone.

How can you hold this logic and then at the same time condemn cops as a whole when in reality its a small percentage of them. Do you not see the contradiction here?
 
A non believer in the death penalty? What a weird statement . The death penalty is out there. It's real unfortunately

I don't think the death penalty should be used against citizens, correct.

Where am I condemning all cops? Your reach on that example is beyond extreme

If my wants for all cops to be governed by the same laws and not abuse power is in the same in your eyes, you have a crazy way of looking at this topic then
