"We do not believe that all police are bad, in fact we have stressed that most police are not bad," Sharpton said. This statement really helps bridge the gap. How would a Police rebuttal sound, " we do not believe all blacks are bad, in fact most are not bad." Just creates more and more animosity.

Why can't he condemn the incident? And yes most criminals are black but you don't see whites protesting about it.

Didn't know one had to live in the ghetto to get in trouble. My friend's daughter doesn't. There are dumbasses everywhere.

You don't, but it is a lot easier.

In ten years here, I've been stopped walking on the street 12-15 times and pulled over driving half a dozen for no reason then I didn't look like I belonged and was basically suspected of buying or looking to buy drugs.


So if they profile me you know they profile anyone that fits any "criminal stereotype"

I know for many of my law abiding friends it gets very old to do nothing wrong and get handcuffed and searched.

You say the wrong thing on the wrong day and bad things can happen.

So yeah you don't even need to be a dumbass to be put in situations where your rights are already being stepped upon.

You are correct. I could get stopped going to your house at night, and i'm profiled as looking for drugs or prostitutes. There are a lot of stings here for that involving whites in Benton Harbor late night.
 
Profiling is how you catch criminals

Jesus

But if people are being handcuffed for walking down the street and nothing else those cops shouldn't have a job

Back to my original idea, just put cameras in all the cops badges and record every minute on duty, have a 3rd party monitoring it

Problem solved

That is kinda where the problem started though with this garner case and the 12 year old boy in Cleveland and the guy with a toy gun on a store.

There is clear footage but lack of accountability

Thus the protests
 
The deal in Cleveland was the fault of the dispatcher. The person who called to report it said that it may be a toy gun. The cops didn't get that info. The bigger issue is the gun culture- the kid was playing gangster. Unfortunately, he would have traded a toy gun for a real one soon enough.
 
As a result of much of the hype surroundings these cases.

Chicago is starting a plot program for body cameras in Jan I believe.

So already at least some possible good is coming from all of this.

I'm sure the scrutiny and knowledge that any potentially shady abuses of power that end in death or injury of citizens will hit the national news cycle is on the minds of officers around the country.
