Re: unpopular opinions BROWN
(Anonymous) 2014-12-18 01:54 am (UTC)(link)I would be on the protest bandwagon completely if the people being protested about weren't acting in a way that warranted the attention of the police. And don't throw those rape jabs of "but that's saying she shouldn't have worn bluhbluh" no it isn't the same.
I'll say it about the twelve year old who got killed while playing with a toy gun. You don't point anything at cops, period! I won't say he deserved it because he didn't, but he should've known better. Cops are trained to react in a split second.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-18 02:17 am (UTC)(link)If I was really racist I would be saying they deserved to die. Now go on and assume that's what I said and take the last word, kid.
Re: unpopular opinions BROWN
(Anonymous) 2014-12-18 03:17 am (UTC)(link)I'm so sorry that child died, I'm so sorry it happened at all, but I won't call a cop racist for shooting when he sees a gun come up and doesn't stop to ask if it's real.

Cop kills in line of duty - Riots, Accusations of racism, Calls fo the cops job, threats on his family, the whole nine yards.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-18 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)Also, we expect our cops not to choose lethal force as the first option when dealing with children and jaywalkers. So there may be a connection.
Re: unpopular opinions BROWN
(Anonymous) 2014-12-18 03:40 am (UTC)(link)So to say "Well, of course Tamir Rice got shot" or "Of course Eric Garner got choked out" because "that's just what police do" misses the whole point to my mind. The question is whether or not doing something that warrants the attention of the police should immediately mean you should be in fear for your life. The point of whether or not the people involved did things to get the attention of law enforcement completely goes past that. The contention is precisely that police are too violent in their responses, especially involving black people.
The argument is about the behavior of police. What you're saying approaches the idea that they got involved legitimately, and anything after that is impossible to argue about, because once the police are involved, anything they do is right. It's the second part that I disagree with.
