For the sake of discussion, what would you call it if someone were to say the same thing but substitute "blacks" for police? I'll rephrase; 99% of the police that I have dealt with. I honestly do not believe that all police are bad. To answer your direct question "I would think that they were raised a certain way and stuck in their ways". I'm with Meade or whoever said that they don't hate all police and will need them. One day I may need the police again and hope that they are there to help me. Even in those situations I will not feel completely safe as I have been threatened and felt unsafe when I have called the police to help me. I have felt threatened and had guns pulled on me for traffic stops. I guess in certain situations I do not trust certain police officers and I will say that I don't have much faith at all in the justice system. Just cause I'm thinking I will say this: I am black and I think I sort of have the thug look down. It's just the way that I look. I think I look nice and happy most of the time but I'm told that I look like a thug. IDK. I'm a pretty big guy, 6'2" 280 lbs, and a pretty solid build. I have braided hair also. Would you believe that I am in the IT field? Looks don't mean much of nothing. I am a bit geeky at times although I did grow up in the hood. I just have my own mind and strive for more. This also gives me a better understanding than most people posting here about what goes on in these neighborhoods and the mentality of the people here. This is not to say I'm an expert but some peoples opinions on this site are just for attention and for their egos. It's easy to talk about what you would do but if you were in the situation things would be different. If you grew up in a slightly different way then a lot could be different. I don't think that anyone could say what they would actually do if they were truly in the place of the people actually going through this tragedy. Tragedy meaning the shooting, violence, and the looting. Hope this all makes sense. It's hard to type at work and when you have things on your mind. Sorry if everything's jumbled together. Lol, you probably look like the image people have when reading my background

It's obvious he does. If he really grew up in an all black neighborhood, that was poor he probably got picked on. He's old as hell and claims his dad was killed by a rookie black cop. Probably the only black cop in the 40's. If all that bullshit he said was true, I kind of, sort of, understand why he doesn't like black people.

I slept on Schoolboy Q. That dude is a beast.

I apologize to all ahead of time, for i know i said i would not respond to ahmed anymore. But i just had to on this. LOL Ahmed, Your level of education becomes you. One can not quote you, before you have made comment. And replying to a comment is not quoting someone. Sorry all, peace out. lol, I affect you deeply.

I can 100% vouch for this. If you're near the ho-stroll or the dope house areas and are white you'll get fucked with by police really quick. My best friend, who happens to be one of 3 white friends that I have (lol, just kidding) gets it the worst when we go out. I remember one time in 100 degree weather and I know this cop was riding around all day, pulled us over. Me and a few friends, 2 of which are the only black friends I have (kidding again) had our finger tips barely touching the hood of the officer's car when he searched us. When he went over to my boy who is white, he shoved his face on the hood, started talking all types of shit to him and took like ten minutes to search him. Let's just say I was thankful I wasn't white that day.

Those dudes are trying to get paid and have the biggest mouths. They don't know shit anymore about being poor, but uneducated people see them on T.V. in a suit and think they might know some shit. Truth be told, I remember being told that Jesse Jackson set up MLK so why anybody black trusts him is beyond me. If I'm not mistaken, Sharpton was part of a drug ring so he really aint shit to follow. At the end of the day, the vocal minority of the black community seems to have the need to have one voice speak for the entire black community instead of getting together with everyone in their community and having a united front.

No, getting info from those who have been following it is better. I don't think anyone here is directly involved or related to anyone on this situation. This thread is mostly full of opinions, hearsay and people's personal beliefs. It's best if you do your own research and not let someone who might have taken a side steer you or influence you.

Well we may disagree their slightly, in my opinion, it's much harder working that 9-5 job for a small paycheck,insurance, house payments, utilities and worrying about various other bills, feeding and clothing the kids and such. Plus have to protect and worry about someone taking your shit. Not that easy when you think about it. Majority of hard working americans make just enough to get buy on.You should know if your a parent, trying to make your kids understand the right way of living. When they see thugs and criminals not working, selling drugs and such, with a boat load of cash. new cars, gold dripping of there chains etc. I hear you, but I grew up poor and now I got a little something none of that shit is a worry for me. As far as my kids, there is basically nothing illegal they can get past me and they are actually really good so, like I said I don't worry about those things.I hear ya, we grew up poor, dirt poor in an all black neighborhood till i was 15, and moved to an average diverse neighborhood. My father was shot while a liquor store was being robbed, a group of people ran out and two where shot, mistaken by a black rookie officer. My father was shot in the back of the neck, severing his jugular vein artery. Then falling on a old style short picketed fence, which pierced his chest. But they said he died from the gunshot wound. And the officer was not prosecuted, they called it an accidental shooting.No am i angry and bitter about this, hell yea. But that does not give me the right to hate blacks or police officers. There is good and bad in all walks of life. And just because we may be poor and bitter, is no justification, to go out and take from others or commit crimes. It is our past and our common sense which shapes our lives. And though i may have had it ruff as a youth, it is those things that helped me to strive forward so my children would not have to grow up in these situations. And yes i know bad things happen in all neighborhoods, but they are less likely to happen in a responseable neighborhood. Now my youngest daughter is still very angry and in therapy from her fiance was killed 2 yrs ago, by a gang banger shooting up the neighborhood, just because he and his group of friends where not allowed into a new years party. But even she knows, you can not judge a group, by an individuals action. Well, I'm gonna be honest and maybe I'm wrong but I don't think you like black people. I'm not here to defend any race since at the end of the day I am more spanish than anything. But I'm sure the people in your neighborhood wouldn't allow you to hangout on the corner. Where I'm from, that's where the party is. If you did grow up in a bad black neighborhood you should be able to tell the difference between a wanna be thug and a real killer. Real killers aren't posting on social media. Whether or not your telling the truth about your past, it seems like you have an answer to everything and there's nothing for you to learn from another human.Well it's obvious you have selective reading disorder, and just like SOME of the protester, you only hear what you want to hear, and enjoy nothing but conflict.Now as far as saying i dont like black people, well 1 of my grandkids is biracial. And 2 of the 5 of my best freinds are black, and would most likely knock your teeth out for making that comment. Your comment couldn't be more absurd. And as far as my heritage, yes i'm sure i have some european in my ancestry down the line. But i am native american, thank you very much. I like and dislike all races the same. And for you to make the comment that i dont like black people, only shows your true racial bias way of thinking. Now as far as hanging out on the corner partying as you say, no i'm to old and mature for that. We get together at houses or garage parties. The corner is where the immature kids hang out, not the adults. So you can continue to party on the corner with the kids if you like, and i will party at the homes of friends. As for your comparison of a killer and thug. I hate to tell you, most of the time you wouldn't know who is a killer, or who has that killer instinct. Now for my past, i couldnt give a rats ass if you believe me or not. I have no reason, nor does it benefit me in any way to lie.My past is my past, and has made me who i am today. Now as far as having an answer for everything goes. It's called age, experience, and common sense. And if i live to be a 100, there will still be many questions that i will have as far as life and people. It seems to me, you still have a chip on your shoulder, since you constantly want to argue. I tried to have a civilizes conversation with you, but that wasn't good enough. Remeber those who usually are quick to throw out the racist card ( which you did with your black comment) are usually the ones who are truely the racist themselves. Fucking phone
