I dont know what I would have done, but I know I would NOT have tased homegirl....
That's good.
she should have met them half way..they still shouldnt have tased her, but she could have done a better job at meeting them halfway..
Again, thats irrelevent. Regardless if she was cooperative or not, there is no excuse for the police to tase her. Was she trippin? Yeah, probably, but again, irrelivent. The issue here is whether or not the police used accessive force.
i wont even give him the chance to even think about it, because I wouldnt be acting like a foo..sometimes cops want people to act out so they can use force on them...why give cops a reason to even think about using force...If that were me, we would not have been having this conversation, because I know not to put my life in the hands of another mans judgment...
I understand that but the issue here is police brutality and how it got to the point where citizens have to live in fear everytime they are approached by a police officer. What kind of society are we living in? "May I see your papers, boy." All I'm trying to bring to this discussion is to make people think why, and why are things the way they are.
he could have been crazy and just shot her..
lmao
that would have definately been all bad, but my point is you have to protect yourself and not give anyone a go ahead to harm you or use any force towards you....
And my point is that it shouldnt be that way.
I said that I couldnt be a cop, because I care/trust people too much..I try to give them the benefit of a doubt, but having that kind of mindset as an officer will definately get you killed, especially in America....[/quote]
Word, in amerika in order to be a police officer you gotta be a cutthroat, a killer, a snitch, a racist, a pig, a lier, a cheat, but definately not a humanitarian.
lol..not what i meant at all...I meant I dont label all officers bad because of a few bad ones...how can I say all cops are bad? That is ignorance at its finest..thatz like me saying all whites are racist because what was done to my ancestors..I cant say that...
I never said anything about all cops being bad. I do not place the blame of the vast amount of corruption and brutality on individual police men and women; these are merely products of our system and the police’s function is to enforce oppressive laws, protect the property of the ruling class and to enforce the policies of the Republican and Democratic parties. Police brutality occurs on a daily basis in Amerika and that is not a result of just a few bad apples. But even these so called good cops still must enforce oppressive laws and anyone whose job is to enforce corrupt/oppressive statutes is corrupt and oppressive by proxy. That is why I have zero respect for any police officer and that is why I believe no working class amerikan should have any respect for the police.

The police have, throughout history, only functioned as an oppressive organization to protect and serve the ruling elite, not the majority of people. Just look at our current system- A rich man who embezzles millions of dollars is less likely to go to jail than a poor man who robs a 7/11 for a hundred dollars. How can that be? Over 2 million are locked up in prison, over 60% black and well over half of the prison population is in debt. In other words, the majority of prisoners are poor. So now you have to look at our system and ask who is more likely to steal? A poor man or a rich man? Who is more likely to go to jail, a poor man or a rich man?
