Damn right I do it! Law officers that don’t will regret it.

"people" already sterotype themselves so.....

100% agree with you and preach the same to my kids. It’s not about racism or discrimination. It’s about awareness and self perseverance. If I have only two options, turn left down a path where a teacup poodle is walking a path or turn right where a Rottweiler is walking....I’m going left to be safe.

Oh so asking them to do their job?

He could (and should) do his job elsewhere and let the criminals beat rob your arse.


Then when he gets around to it he can come back scrape up your bloody pulp.

Most people have their phones in their faces all day long, so they couldn't tell you if someone got stabbed 10ft away. The same happens when driving, but yall refuse to pull people over for it

Look. I cant change your mind and wouldnt if i were able to. Your entitled to your believes.

But when you or others maintain beliefs like this, regardless of your intentions, you usually begin to internalize them. And become the very thing that you defend/accuse other people of being.

You also give a justifable reason to distrust police. Notice i said distrust , not injure, not kill, not even protest. But you admittedly are not looking out for the safety of all citizens. And had it occured to you thst some people live in poor areas not because they are criminals, but because they are poor and that may be the only housing they can afford on their income.

Im not going to lie, this made me very angry. Its one thing to deal with jerks online, thats common. But its another to hear things like this from someone who supposedly protects and serves their community.

And ive always respected police officers. Ive even give them the benefit of the doubt on the more controversial cases (like the Sterling or Trayvon cases). Because in those instances their were clearly other options for the victims.

As someone who is Black and tries to make an honest living, I will never condone this frame of thinking.

The only thing your doing is polarization.

I do this all day every day. I take my dogs out walking about 5:00'ish every morning. I'm very aware of my surroundings. We see mostly the same people every morning; others out walking their dogs and people leaving for work. And it's not just people, I also pay attention to the other animals in the neighborhood. They typically warn when coyotes are around.

There is a lady who sleeps in her van on our street several days week. She might be a lovely person who has fallen on hard times, she might be serial killer looking for her next victim, she might just be dealing drugs to make a living. All I know, is I'm on high alert when she's around and I head the other direction.

Days when she's there, the other animals are unusually quiet and there are few birds flying, the dogs get 5 minutes to do their business and then it's back in the house.

He’s fricking retarded. He was on here not too long ago bragging about getting a 2 year degree to go work at H&R Block and “make bank” as opposed to going to college and becoming an actual accountant
