Police draw guns on black teens and detain them - For the crime of being assaulted while black

If you roll up and see a couple kids hitting someone with a skateboard, or get a report that the kids were the aggressors, what are you going to think?

The police see what they see when they arrive, they don’t see what happened before. To hold them responsible for reacting to what they don’t actually witness is wrong.

The lady who called the police tried to tell them, but they refused to listen.

And one person called and said they were the aggressors.

When they show up who is getting beaten and who is doing the beating?

Indeed. Blue privilege.

Know way too many cops IRL to believe that it has nothing to do with race. It’s rather amusing how many off duty cops will outright admit to being racist if they think they’re in front of a sympathetic white crowd.

The news may be reporting on this, but the average American is far more concerned with this:

His name was Cannon Hinnant

Imagine how much we’d be hearing about this if races were reversed

[SixFoot]

There would’ve been a thread made about it here I’ll bet.

There was solid agreement over the George Floyd murder among so many people throughout the political spectrum, unlike any I had seen before. What did the left do? Made threads like these just sound like angry mobs with no direction just a week later. The left monumentally dropped the ball on this one. We were so close to police reform.

Start a thread. Try and focus in this one.

Was seems to be the operative word.

[SixFoot]

Yep, way to go libs.

@SixFoot

Yep, way to go libs.

Yeah they’re definitely the ones who went back to being police groupies.

[SixFoot]

No, they’re just the ones who screwed everything up, again.

I was thinking more like outside of this forum; wouldn’t there be non-stop media coverage and widespread outrage ?

[zonulet]

Maybe they weren’t wearing masks

[SixFoot]

Same thing, different scale. lol

Yeah it’s almost like all those people were just bull ■■■■■■■■ because it seemed like the majority was going that way. You remember that Dave Chappelle bit? “Honey, it says here in the paper that police have been beating up Negros like hot cakes, who knew?”

Showing other examples of the racial disparity in policing isn’t a good reason to change your mind. In fact it’s possibly the worst reason.

[SixFoot]

Libs dropped the ball when they started their latest bigot crusade. Every time y’all do that, you lose more and more credibility.

@TommyLucchese

Even though the car wasn’t the right make or model or brand. The cops refused to release them even after other cops told them they were wrong.

It was a stolen motorcycle. A ■■■■■■■ motorcycle. Pulled over an SUV.

@WuWei

Are you under the impression that the Santa Clarita PD has a policy of drawing guns on one race?

It is part of the system. One could also describe it as inherent.
It does not have to be in writing.

[TheRedComet]

Not going to comment until the entire situation is verified.

I’ve jumped the gun before and had to eat crow over it.

Yes…I am familiar with this horrible incident. Was it race related in any way?
