Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

have black communities ever tried diplomacy?

Have they? A Young black teenager gets killed by the police and it's a green light to rob, plunder, burn the villages, rape the horses and ride off on the women?

Gets little attention as being unlawful. its just predictable now and socially acceptable. I for one, and as a law abiding American, am sick and tired of it. did I rob Best Buy when juice got aquitted?

    like it's Fallujah.

    Have you seen parts of St. Louis?

    Joking aside, St. Louis is consistently ranked as once of the most dangerous cities in the US (think it last won the "prize" in 2010). And if you really think those people rioting really care about the 18 year old kid that was shot and if you think having a 'friendly, neighborhood policeman' around the last couple of years would have stopped it from happening than the genetic pool hasn't done you any favors. Its a cultural, historic, systemic problem that is not being addressed by anybody.

    I read stories every day of police shooting unarmed citizens for asking why they're being arrested then lying that they were fighting back, tasering 70 year old women, shooting dogs just because they're there, tear gassing obvious peaceful protestors. It's sad.

    I won't even ask where you get your reading material. It happens...police are people too and by definition are anything but perfect. But its not nearly as frequent as you'd like to believe and is nothing compared the daily incidents of things being done against them. And it sure as hell isn't an excuse for mobs rioting, looting, and doing all sorts of other things.

    It happens a lot. Maybe daily. This kind of shit.

    Swat teams busting up people's homes to arrest for minor offenses happens a lot as well.

    I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but there are more than a million police officers in the US (if you believe wiki). Continuing on the made-up wiki stats there are something like 2,000 incidents a year of legit police brutality in comparison to 13 million arrests last year (according to the FBI website). And cop cars now have cameras rolling 24/7 to record everything, police are fitted for cameras, etc., etc.

    It happens, but it isn't the reason for rioting or people acting like morons in St. Louis.

    Everything always turns into a racial issue, but the real issue here is the nationwide militarization of local police forces. There is no more friendly neighborhood cop who protect, serve and help their community. They are being taught to patrol their streets like it's Fallujah. I read stories every day of police shooting unarmed citizens for asking why they're being arrested then lying that they were fighting back, tasering 70 year old women, shooting dogs just because they're there, tear gassing obvious peaceful protestors. It's sad.

    Now more than ever..fuck the police. Fuck them.

    A lot of shit doesn't get reported. They may have cameras, but those cameras only film what is directly in front of the car. Jails are another problem. I sympathize for cops. I certainly wouldn't want to be a cop in a big, urban city, but many cops are dicks. The nature of the profession attracts a certain type of person. Who would want to get people in trouble, sometimes ruining lives, breaking up families, etc?

    Unfortunately nowadays it's mostly people with little dick disease who get off on the power trip it provides and how everyone cowers to people in a funny costume.

    I'd like to see how well some of you do with a badge, gun, and as much backup as you want. Not as easy as it looks.

    A lot of armchair law enforcers hiding behind computer screens here, If you ever get robbed you're going to want that cop to show up 4 hours later and tell you they don't give a shit.

    You can't expect them to get there on time when they are tasering some drunk dude peeing on the side of a building. Priorities.
    They keep us safe...from our own opinions.

    This could be a result of the Iraq War...how many guys came back from that shit-show and became police officers?

    And while I'd never dream of going to East St. Louis, it sounds like cop simply lost it. Even if the kid somehow got leverage on the cop prior to the shooting, I don't know how the cop can defend firing multiple shots at him when he was 10-15 yards away (from what I've read).

    The looting is inexcusable because it reinforces negative stereotypes of blacks. It also saddens me that, practically each time this kind of deadly incidents happen, it seems like the parents aren't married (different last names). From what I've read, Asian-Americans and whites have the highest marriage rates and the lowest out-of-wedlock births while blacks and latinos are the opposite. Bringing a child into the world without two parents immediately puts that child behind the 8 ball and makes his / her odds of succeeding in life worse.

    Are there actual statistics to back this up or is it just internet talk?
