RE: Hey You Can't Treat Criminals Like Criminals!

in #culture5 years ago

A few months back there was a guy here who killed his girlfriend then once located led the police on a chase down a highway after him, he crashed then got out running across the highway while exchanging gun fire with the police, one cop in a cruiser coming upon the scene decided to take his cruiser and run the guy down, the guy went flying through the air...he suffered a whole lot of skin abrasions but in my opinion if he had been a minority instead of white all hell would have broke loose. Just as in my opinion if this man had been white led for two blocks attached with a rope it'd never got a mention.

Holy smokes! Wow sunlit7 thanks for sharing that. Yes unfortunately I agree, that case would have been easy to portray as excessive police force against a black man if he'd been black. That was one dangerous guy though and needed to be stopped by whatever means necessary. I'm so glad the guy wasn't black!

I am pretty sure the cops were to....of course remember I said that for them as we'd all know what'd happen if they said it.

Exactly. If I were a cop I'd try like crazy to avoid any blacks. Probably wouldn't be possible though.
