Landlord Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Here's video of a NYC cop using a chokehold (which is as far as I understand it) on a man protesting the illegal use of a chokehold that killed another man. http://krxs10.tumblr.com/post/104382874514/attention-please Link to comment
walksalone Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 If you're not pissed off by the Eric Garner video, you're being intentionally obtuse. The incident was captured fully on video and has none of the ambiguity of the Michael Brown case. The investigator ruled it a homicide. The officer not only used unnecessary force in a completely inappropriate situation; he used a chokehold which is illegal for that department to use. And all of this happened because the police approached him and baselessly accused him of selling tax-free cigarettes. No indictment. And further, if you think this is solely an isolated incident, you're ignoring the reality of the history of our country. Our government was designed from the very start to be specifically advantageous towards white people, and it hasn't had any major revisions, only patch work, so why would it not still be trampling over non-whites? One guy dies, which is sad, and these people turn into jackasses... Oil companies are trying to use my ancestral home to transport oil, and do you see any of my people acting stupid???

LOUIS - Two members of the New Black Panther Party arrested last week on federal weapons charges were planning to bomb the Gateway Arch, and to kill St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch and Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson, sources tell NewsChannel 5.

Oil companies are trying to use my ancestral home to transport oil, and do you see any of my people acting stupid??? A lot of guys have died. This is just the latest example. I don't see your people doing anything, which is sad and strange to me. I also don't know a whole lot about the context and history of what's going on with that specifically, or with the history of native americans. What you're seeing happen is really more common than uncommon when an historically oppressed people group continues to have their liberties trampled on. Link to comment

Seems to me you want it both ways. When an unarmed black man gets killed by a cop, he's just one person and that's one isolated incident. But when two misguided rioters want to blow up the arch, they're representative of a bigger problem. Link to comment

I have mentioned numerous times, that I don't like seeing anyone's kid getting smoked, but is this the way you handle it, with domestic terrorism? I don't want it both ways, but it seems to me you're suffering from rectal cranial inversion... Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 More black men in prison than college? Hmmmm....not so fast. LINK Link to comment
walksalone Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 One in six black men had been incarcerated as of 2001. If current trends continue, one in three black males born today can expect to spend time in prison during his lifetime http://www.naacp.org/pages/criminal-justice-fact-sheet Link to comment
