    I'll bet you will change your tune when the thug cops beat the crap out of you or someone you know. And don't think that they won't kill you just for the hell of it.

    Tell ya what, the next time you’re robbed, car jacked or raped, call blm, Antifa or Al Sharpton and seek justice through them. Why did Apple automatically capitalize Antifa?

    I know what this looks like but there is no reason to take a firm stance on a developing story that is less than a week old. I am going to wait until 'new developments' are no longer hourly or daily and the sharp twists and turns stop coming like a winding swiss Alpine mountain road .

    So he was killed because he was black? How do all the other blacks in this country survive? It’s a miracle.

    You know with the ever-increasing reputation for violence from the police you would think at some point that idiots would learn to comply.

    You're not going to win a pissing match with a cop.

    have you seen this?


    Too many young African-Australians are in jail. Some blame police, but the data tells a more complex story

    There's a concerning trend in the kids we're locking up. For some, it's clear evidence of racist policing.

    While overall youth crime rates have declined in Victoria, the imprisonment of African-Australian youth has spiked.

    I suggest you cease personalising your comments lest you fall foul of Rule 2.

    No.

    Clearly it's alot to change the culture. It needs to start from the top though.

    But notice, no violence from the unhappy protesters. No media or left politicians fanning the flames like in 2020. Biden is President so they dont do that.

    Well, in matters of law enforcement, probably the same reasons as those who are prejudiced against blacks. Such as

    There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Jesse Jackson

    Blacks are a mere 13% of the population but make up over 50% of the murders and robberies.

    A poster commenting on an article I read said that Memphis's ex-chief claimed that the "Scorpion Unit"had no Sargeant as an overseer, I couldn't find anything online to confirm it.


    Throwing this into the mix.

    'MPD changes some requirements, offers signing bonuses to recruit new officers'

    Snip:

    January 27, 2022 at 8:40 am CST

    MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In an effort to recruit new officers, the Memphis Police Department is offering signing bonuses and changing some of the requirements to become an officer.

    FOX13 has learned this could open the doors to people who have had a brush on the wrong side of the law.

    Memphis Police Association President, Lt. Essica Cage, says:
    “I’ve never seen anything like (what) the City of Memphis is having to do right now. It just goes to show how hard it is and the competition with other departments we have to go through right now.”

    Memphis Police are down about 500 officers, losing *184 to retirement and resignations last year alone, according to the Memphis Police Association, the union that represents police officers in Memphis.

    This, at a time when violent crime and homicides are spiraling. It’s a dangerous job."

    If you are white, yes he is. He just called all white people racists.

    Just ask the cop who confronted the armed assailant in Ferguson, Missouri.

    Or ask (if you could) the 4 cops killed in Dallas in broad daylight from an undisclosed vantagepoint.

    That Nichols resisted arrest for many minutes, ran away and cops are fearful of cop haters is the reason Nichols died. If Nichols had heeded cops, Nichols would be alive today....But cop haters like you wouldn't have your false narrative would you?:roll:
