Black Dog Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 I coined the term. It is pretty obvious what it means. Being a black teen? Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 I didn't mention race at all. My point is that if I poke my head into a police cruiser and try to bash the officer's head in with my fists I'm sure it wouldn't end well. Indeed....has nothing to do with race. This morning about 1:30 AM, I was observing NGC 7000 (North America Nebula) from my driveway, when the next door neighbour's teenage son rounded the turn into our cul-de-sac with his car very fast and drove into his driveway. A police cruiser quickly followed with lights flashing. An officer immediately exited his squad car and ordered the teen male driver to stay where he was as he attempted to walk into his home. I was able to see the police "Use of Force Continuum" in action....the teen perp complied with the officer's direction...he did not attempt to flee the scene, assault the officer, or make a play for the officer's sidearm. Accordingly, there was no screaming....no unprofessional behaviour...no drama. Another squad came on scene for backup. Kid was ticketed for blowing a stop sign and the officers went back on patrol. Everybody lived to see another day. So what race was the kid ? BTW, it is very difficult to see NGC 7000 even under the best conditions, but nearly impossible with flashing police lights. Thanks kid ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Black Dog Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 some tangential crap Indeed, the vast majority of police interactions with African Americans in the U.S. don't end violently. And a good thing too, given the disproportionate number of encounters there are between police and African Americans, a great many of which are not due to any reasonable suspicion of criminal activity.

BubberMiley Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 I have lots of quality reported decisions under my belt. And being give a five month paid time in office to openly seek work, that is hardly a negative reflection on my work quality. I am relatively well thought of and if the appropriate work arrives I expect to hold onto the job. PM me your CV and I'll let you know.

My point is that if I poke my head into a police cruiser and try to bash the officer's head in with my fists I'm sure it wouldn't end well. That's not what you said: It has to do with the way Brown presents himself. Would it be possible for me, a successful attorney, to rob a liquor store and then calmly go about my business? Possible but highly unlikely. If someone makes "thugging" a life style it's a different story. And someone will get hurt, badly. Most folks wouldn't describe poking one's head into a police cruiser to try and bash the officer's head as a form of self-presentation, but behaviour. Quote
Argus Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 Why should I have to wait? If they can't report why he was shot now, then I don't need to wait for them to come up with some cover story. The reason he was shot should be obvious from day 1. Because he was a violent thug who attacked a cop?

Argus Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Yeah it does matter. The more bullets you pump into a guy the harder it is to say that each shot was an act of defending yourself against a deadly threat. The first shot you pump into a guy quite possibly is... the tenth almost certainly isnt... and the hundredth DEFINATELY isnt. Not with the guns cops carry now. You can fire off six shots in about two seconds. If someone is coming at you you fire until he stops.

cybercoma Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 Because he was a violent thug who attacked a cop? Gee, Argus. Maybe you should wait until the trial and we know all the details. Quote

Good going Jon. I'm sure many Republicans won't get the joke. Too bad the basis for his piece is not such a joke.

Black Dog Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 The tale of the police dashcam video has now helped clear a Bloomfield, New Jersey man who faced a multitude of criminal charges, including eluding police and assault. Investigative Reporter Sarah Wallace obtained the dashcam tapes, and has spoken exclusively with the 30-year old DJ who was looking at years in prison. It was quite a turnabout, all the criminal charges against Marcus Jeter have been dismissed, and two Bloomfield police officers have been indicted for falsifying reports, and one of them, for assault. This is unreal. Quote
GostHacked Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 This is unreal. The issue is much bigger than people think. Always film the police, it's obvious that their 'evidence' can and will be tampered with to cover their asses. Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 This is unreal. One can only imagine how many times the same shit went down that didn't get caught on a dashcam. Post racial America truly is a myth. Quote
Black Dog Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 Certainly goes to show that, despite what some police apologists here would have you believe, doing nothing wrong and complying with police instructions is not necessarily a guarantee that you will not receive an ass-kicking at best.

Black Dog Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 The small city of Jennings, Mo., had a police department so troubled, and with so much tension between white officers and black residents, that the city council finally decided to disband it. Everyone in the Jennings police department was fired. New officers were brought in to create a credible department from scratch. That was three years ago. One of the officers who worked in that department, and lost his job along with everyone else, was a young man named Darren Wilson. Link Quote
Hal 9000 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 Link “My impression is he didn’t go above and beyond, and he didn’t get in any trouble,” Fuesting said. He said of the department during its difficult period: “There was a disconnect between the community and the police department. There were just too many instances of police tactics which put the credibility of the police department in jeopardy. Complaints against officers. There was a communication breakdown between the police and the community. There were allegations involving use of force that raised questions.” Robert Orr, the former Jennings police chief who retired in 2010, said of Wilson: “He was a good officer with us. There was no disciplinary action.” What i'm reading is that the police force was so over wrought with problems and complaints that the city had to fire the entire police force, yet Wilson never got into any trouble and never had any disciplinary actions against him. Weird!

Hal 9000 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 His behaviour never met the test for discipline to that of his colleagues.....who caused the disbandment of a police force......*golf clap* Well, common sense would say that if the police force was that bad that they'd feel a need to disband, then they'd all/or most all have some sort of complaint or discipline action. Darren Wilson had none such action against him...that we know of. I'm sure that if he was involved in any misgivings in his prior posting, we'll soon hear. Until then, it's just some half assed "investigative reporter" thinking he's onto something big.
