I was just responding to the "pretty damning overall" statement. My expectation is that you are correct, just saying it's not to that poont yet.NEsnake12 said:
I was saying that there's probably more footage besides the TMZ stuff. Security cameras and whatnotdnc said:
Guarantee there will be a bunch of them kneeling, if not all of them after this.NEsnake12 said:It happened in Vegas... there's for sure going to be more footage of this that comes out from security sources or others. It happened over a week ago, which means Bennett probably now knows he has the evidence to back up what he's saying.
Pretty damning overall and I wouldn't be shocked if more Seahawks players kneel with him.
I don't think that's damning evidence though. All it does is confirm Bennett was handcuffed, it doesn't confirm innocence nor brutality.
But I'm chinclined to believe Bennett's story. -
I just wish it weren't a racial issue. It's a cop issue, really. They overstep their boundaries to varying degrees too often, and they do it people of all races. Making it a racial issue just alienates white people who would otherwise support this cause.

Then how come all of my black friends have had these experiences but only my meth head white friends have?Fenderbender123 said:I just wish it weren't a racial issue. It's a cop issue, really.

Gneau any white friends who have been falsely accused, detained, or just flat out fucked up by cops and left in the gutter? I know plenty.dnc said:

Cops abuse their power AND disproportionately abuse it against black people.

I'm not saying black people don't experience it more often. That's probably true. And while a whitey like myself has never experienced the extreme end of it, I have experienced blatant and unprofessional misuses of their power, and so have lots of white people. As such, there are white people who would love to join in on the fight for better behaving cops...but why should they if society is going to treat black people as the only victims?dnc said:

Police abusing their power is the main problem. Who they're directing that abuse toward is also a problem, but it's secondary IMO, because if they simply shifted to abusing their power against everyone equally, we still have the same problem of them abusing their power. -

HTH
Let's play the preponderance of violent crime by percentage of population game again, shall we?
Fuck off, Boobs - you lose this every time.
Big of you to concede one poont, and I won't bring up a third, as tired fallacies get stale after awhile.
