Talking about Police and society but no mention of Color of Law and the major breach of trust that gets committed when a situation like “this” manifests.

Personally, I think police perception on the public depends on the crime factor of said area.

Places where less crime occurs generally have police presence who are more open to the community, and a community more open towards the police. The inverse is true also, in my opinion.

Plus, we are talking about a group of people in a very high-stress job.


Yes, but who is the onus on? The civilian, or the trained professional? I expect more of a police officer than I do a civilian- they have the training and the responsibility in all situations they are involved in regarding conflict.

Yes police definitely need to get their ***together. The story is always the same, some overly aggressive dude screws up and everyone covers for him. Cameras have allowed everyone to see the horrible crap the Departments have been covering for years. How about those police who shot unarmed protestors and while they had been issued body cameras, somehow every one of them was turned off.

The act of turning off the camera while on duty and not in the restroom should be immediate suspension pending review.

A black male doing the same is considered a race traitor in black culture.
Your county is literally on fire and you still think making racist generalisations like this are appropriate...

'black culture', my God

Not only that, it’s highly inaccurate and ignorant at best.

“Black culture” is a term I’ve seen used by blacks in the media as well. As I pointed out earlier, I think it’s unwise to equate race with culture, but it’s not something Saevel made up.

The reason people marry someone of another race is because, they fell in love with them and that's it. There is no evil intent.

Just because someone married or have sex with another person, doesn't mean they view their partner as equal individuals. One can marry another person and still view that person as inferior individuals.

blah blah blah high stress job blah blah blah.

Listen, the rules of engagement for the MILITARY is set to a higher standard than police. Police shoot people like it's nobody's business. Soldiders, unless they are fired upon directly and it is not already a firefight, have to follow a series of verbal warnings and non-lethal warning shots before shooting to kill. In America, cops fire at unarmed black men with their hands up from 20 feet away and unload 20-30 bullets in them. It's never one shot to centermass it's always >20 rounds. It doesn't take that much hot lead to stop someone

black culture is essentially uneducated shorthand for "American African Culture"- with its strongest anchors in the Northeast, Cajun, Gulla, and Slave Culture. Their artistic and music hubs for the most part reside in NYC, Los Angeles, New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago. But to use the term "black culture" rather than to properly describe it is to belittle the variance in african-based cultures and lump 'em all together.

Let me know how the Italian Neighborhoods of an Irish town accept "white culture".

I'm surprised there is no discussion about the independent autopsy.

It's not really independent when it's paid for by the victim's family.

Are you saying medical doctors would lie for money?

Now now! Let's do more autopsies! Best of 5!
I'm saying humans would.

There's about 40 different things to fear from that (all of which I LOVE):

-each race's periodic abbreviation

-and resulting race compounds (mixed kids) and those abbreviations

-chemical reactions between different races

-molecular drawings of the structure of each race

And that's just off the top of my head :)

So Rooks,

Since this thread is not getting nuked yet, will you please review my OP, so that everyone can see that it's not a bunch of race bait BS?

Not a fan that it comes across right now that it looks like I spouted some sort of inflammatory ***.

Also, again for the record, didn't know these riots we're about police killing someone. Really thought it was corona virus nonsense.

Anywho... Yea can you please 'reveiw' my OP and put it back to what I had?

Edit: literally nothing in the OP deserves to be removed, kinda irritating that people can abuse the report button just cuz they personally do not like the conversation that derived out of it. Like, seriously, no one is forced to read these threads.

Lastly, I don't think this topic should be hidden away under PnR, because, this crap goes beyond all that, the conversation should not be hidden, people need to face this crap instead of burying their heads in the sand.

Y'all do know that one of the saddest things about the entire George Lloyd situation is that for decades, Minneapolis has been known as the "San Francisco of the Midwest"- as one of the most socially liberal cities in the entire country, and a haven of civil rights for a very Irish-Germanic Midwest who's just used to seeing only themselves. Connection being that those docs are VERY likely dems :)

I would rather you just post your own opinions. The guy starts off reading a Daily Mail headline, we all know the Daily Mail is the UK version of Breitbart. Its a tabloid.

Then he goes on a rant about how the media is somehow misreporting what Trump did yesterday. Just watch his speech in the Rose Garden. As he is saying I'm your "law and order President" and an "ally to peaceful protesters," you can hear the explosions from the tear gas canisters popping in the background.

Why are the cops firing tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of people just standing there, protesting peacefully? It was 6:45, curfew was at 7, so they weren't in violation of curfew. Oh, it was because Trump wanted to walk to a church and have his picture taken. Not to pray or visit with parishioners or anything, it was a photo op.

We agree on this. In "normal" times I would have locked this the second I saw it. These are not normal times.

In your defense, there's been a lot of demonstrations lately.

As for your OP, I'll have a look.

Asura.Aeonova said: »
Kind of expected a different outcome when an Admin got here. It seemed like a lot of drama to let run free on a random-*** Tuesday though. I did expect this topic to be locked, however. I'm not such a wet blanket that I don't think people should have a place to vent. I just didn't think this utility site for an 18 year old game about swords, magic, and moogles was the place, but meh.

I talked about this a bit here but the important piece is:

Rooks said: »
The header at the top of the site says "FFXI Database And Community" and I don't think you can have a real community if the lines don't get colored outside of now and then. People are messy.

If this site was just laser focused on a topic, like a sub-reddit, then none of these extra forum sections would exist in the first place. That's not the goal of this place, and that means that when ***'s gettin' wild out there, there's going to be discussion of it here. There's still some rules and decorum expected - we're all adults here, theoretically - but emotions are high with good reason.

Some of my closest friends of the past 10 years have been in game. I've socialized more with some LS mates than I have my own cousins in that timeframe. These are people that I CHOOSE to associate with, who's company I want. Where else is a better place to discuss the world we live in than with those whom I choose to share that world with- at least my little piece of it?

Certainly not Twitter.

Or Facebook.

Or Reddit.

....actually, this may be the best place for such discussions. It's mainly civil in here, compared to the dark depths of the internet.

Na it's totally paid shills by Soros to allow Hillary to take office and declare martial law across the nation for her to rule for the rest of her unnatural lifespan, the entire Trump admin was a farce to prop her up and give her all the power. The space force is a ploy to build space lasers to go all Zola's algorithm on would be defectors.

All hail the empress!

Twitter and Facebook are more of an self-generated echo chamber based around who we choose to see and who sees us.

Reddit...I'd find more positivity in a 1980s Pancreatic Cancer Ward.

At least here its a mixed bag of social and political opinions and my personal experiences have been pretty chill in terms of contradictory interactions.

The term "Black Culture" is used by the black community all the time.

Issues go much deeper and we'd really get into a political debate, which is probably well outside the scope of this thread. Suffice to say that encouraging impressionable youths to openly engage in violent confrontation and / or warfare with the state as a symbol of masculinity isn't a very good idea.
