Jason Whitlock blames Nichols’ death on single black mothers and blames Memphis’ Officer’s actions on having a black woman as their Police Commissioner.

Not surprising. Whitlock has openly been a misogynist sack of **** ever since he got canned by FS1.

Racism and prejudice ABSOLUTELY occur within races. Acting like racism doesn't exist because 5 black cops murdered a black kid is not only ignorant, but dangerous.

Like Valade said, listen to "**** the Police" by NWA or "Power" by Rapsody and Kendrick Lamar. Black people are well aware of the violence perpetrated by black officers on those of their own race. Racism, abuse of power, the blue wall, are all things that contribute to those actions.

When I was growing up, I was taught to fear police and to do everything they said so I wouldn’t be shot.

Never once did the race or the gender of the cop come up.

Cops being black doesn’t have much to do with it because at the end of the day if they’re going into the job with the perception of changing it from within…they’re naive. It’s a white system that is built on targeting minorities…to put it to bluntly. By going into the system, their race doesn’t really matter because they become a part of the system that upholds racist values

This.

But most, if not all, white republicans have never had a life threatening encounter with the police who were wrongfully attacking them.

I get it. Cops treat minorities different than white people. Hence why they got rid of "Stop and Frisk" in the city and rightfully so.

This goes to nyyfans post too but I’ve told the stories here before, how I’ve had cops point guns at me - twice, been stopped and frisked, and my trouble at police stations over $10 worth of weed. I also had a lot of conservative posters call me a lying ***** so I don’t truly expect them to understand.

We’re all going to have different perceptions based off of how we were treated.

Yes

And humans are also capable of empathy. Especially when watching videos of other human beings getting brutally beaten and murdered (none of which can be found in a police training manual).

But when you have that stockholm syndrome-esque thing that republicans have, then you need to "stick to your side" no matter what.

Because more often than not, we’re dealing with people who are incapable of empathy and putting themselves in someone else’s shoes.

I remember in a college class back in…2018 (2019?) I remember having an interesting conversation. I was saying how a lot of old school conservative ideals and the hateful ideologies were on its way out. I was met with an outburst and it caused a lot of murmuring. I told the class to listen and to hear me out, and they did.

I said something along the lines of “when an ideology is threatened or on its way out, it suddenly becomes more prominent from the vocal minority who is fighting tooth and nail to preserve the ideals”

and that’s sort of what I think is happening and has continued to happen. these conservatives are insecure and fearful that their tactics and ideals are being pushed away and as a result, they take such extreme measures and throw logic out of the window in favor of party allegiance, because the party is turning into a **** show and they know that solidarity is the only thing keeping them together. It’s why so many GOPers won’t go against party lines and are turning blind eyes to George Santos and Matt Gatez and MGT. They all know they’re wrong but they can’t afford to ostracize anybody else at this point.

This is what I think guys like brewers, dbroncs, and Brett do. They realize that their ideals are outdated but they don’t care about their retort due to the insecurity and fear that they won’t be able to adapt to change.

I had a conservative poster repeatedly tell me I was lying when I mentioned the time I had two cops pull their guns on me and scream like maniacs when I calmly approached them on foot after a concert in the city for some assistance with directions.

Who here defended the cops actions in this case?

Yet you won’t put yourself in a cops shoes when they are facing life threatening situations where they have to react in a moments notice

Instead all you do is blame cops no matter what when they are getting shot at by people

Yes because racial profiling is purely fictional.

It's really too bad that Special is no longer around. If he was, you can guarantee that he'd be digging up and sharing anything negative he could find on the gentlemen that was beaten to death by the cops.
