Who's ready for a little common sense?

They always look for ■■■■■■■■ reasons to make a bust or an arrest.

Nature of the beast.

I think most cops are good guys and gals trying to make a living. But the corruption in many American precincts is absolutely disgusting.

I’m not blaming the police officers themselves, only the system.

Crack.

peek-a-boo:

Before Obama, that was pretty much how it was for anyone, regardless of the color of their skin. With the race baiting that has taken place beginning with Obama’s term, all bets are off. An officer now has no idea what to expect when they stop a person of color. Will that person be compliant and respectful or will that person become aggressive and resist?

This is the biggest pile of horse ■■■■ I’ve heard on here in a long time.

Nod…

So you are unable to refute my argument and instead offer empty rhetoric. I fully understand. If you change your mind and would like to have an intelligent conversation, I’ll be here.

So crack cocaine was only a black phenomenon?

PurpnGold · 2021-04-23T13:23:17.687Z

Mostly, yes. Which is why it was criminalized the way it was in the 80s.

Crack.

You mean when the black community demanded harsher sentences and more police because the crack epidemic was destroying their neighborhoods and they were calling white people racist if they wouldn’t give it to them? Yeah, I remember.

Oh I can, it’s just easier to call shenanigans. The mid 80s to the mid 90s were the most violent era in American history since the civil war. Police had lost control of the streets almost entirely in the inner city during the crack epidemic and were fighting what was essentially a guerrilla war against gangbangers and drug crews while those dudes fought amongst each other for drug corners worth millions.

It was absolute bedlam. Not enough cops, not enough jail cells, not enough prosecutors, not enough judges or trial slots. And the cops were on the street with a revolver, a nightstick and vests so ■■■■■■ they wouldn’t stop a nine mil, which they usually didn’t bother to wear.

To say it’s more dangerous now, or even ten years ago, is a ■■■■■■■ joke.

Crack was mostly sold by black people. Mostly consumed by white people.

Oh you mean when they were screaming for the cops to get control of serious violent crime and instead got broken windows quality of life arrests and digging in fiend’s pockets for a rock and an easy collar while murder clearance rates were less than fifty percent and aggravated assault and attempted murder clearances were less than ten percent.

Yeah it’s generally better to cooperate. Don’t want to become a statistic.

Then why can’t BLM and the woke crowd say this out loud? Do you think they want black folks to get shot so to promote their agenda? Sometimes it sure seems that way.

Ahh but I never said that.

I’m not talking about inner city drug problems impacting whites as well as blacks.

I’m talking about routine traffic stops and domestic disputes outside of the inner city.

So am I. It was much, much more dangerous twenty, twenty five years ago than it is now for cops. It’s literally never been safer to be police than it is now.

You just wrong.

TheRedComet · 2021-04-23T15:34:06.634Z

White people have never used crack in large numbers. They always preferred powder. Inner city whites certainly used crack, though.

The “crack” of the white community is meth and opiate based painkillers.

Really? Tell that to the cops who have been blinded by lasers for the crime of trying to prevent arson.

SixFoot · 2021-04-23T15:35:33.539Z

I still call them crackheads though.

TheRedComet · 2021-04-23T15:36:24.719Z

Definitely.

They’re all just junkies.

Try telling that to the cops who were being murdered with bullets on a regular basis in the 80s and 90s, or getting hit in the head with toasters thrown from fourth story windows.

You just wrong. Just like him. Look up the stats.
