When you can't respect your own.

Then who do you respect? Who do you stand for? WHO!?

You do not respect the Mayor.





Reuters: NYPD targets even its own Black officers

A Reuters investigation finds NYPD is even attacking its own Black officers when they’re out of uniform. Here’s just a small excerpt from their interviews with two dozen current and retired Black, male NYPD officers:

The officers said this included being pulled over for no reason, having their heads slammed against their cars, getting guns brandished in their faces, being thrown into prison vans and experiencing stop and frisks while shopping. The majority of the officers said they had been pulled over multiple times while driving. Five had had guns pulled on them.



Beyond anecdotes, Black officers are also more likely to be killed in friendly fire incidents:

John Jay professor Delores Jones-Brown cited a 2010 New York State Task Force report on police-on-police shootings – the first such inquiry of its kind – that found that in the previous 15 years, officers of color had suffered the highest fatalities in encounters with police officers who mistook them for criminals.

The question, who do you stand for, obviously not your own if they are a POC. They are targeted and profiled as well. You are one angry fretful group that jumps at shadows. You are always in fear for your life. Stats do not prove you dieing at a greater rate than the "criminals you pursue". All your "supposed training" has gotten you no where. You use excessive force. Who the hell made you a god? You are not. You are paid employees that answer to the Mayor and the people you promised to keep safe. You lied and people are dying at your hands.

You disrespect us all!

It is clear that the job of peace officer has risen to a level in society that is well beyond the current crop of police officer's capabilities.

Today's peace officer needs to be more than a thug.

S/he must walk a different beat today, because they're not policing idiots who will stand idly by while their heads are bashed in.

If they keep attacking other white people something will no doubt finally be done about police brutality that many of us have known damn-near since birth. If we don't, heaven help us all.

- They're trying to stave-off the REVOLUTION that is happening everywhere else on the planet (you wouldn't know it since: ''The Revolution Will Not Be Televised'') so they can keep their toys and play-money. But once the desire for change gets in the Noosphere, it can't be stopped......
