yes its not young white kids creating these issues here at this party nor is it in the majority of cities.I read GNBRETT's comment as the fathers not doing their job, not as them not existing. Seems you cared enough about race as you pointed out it was black kids, where he said kids in general. And.... that's the problem. People so quick to throw race into the mix that they are often blinded or only see what they think is going on and not actually what is happening. Not realizing they adding fuel to the fire. Your comments about them being black and you not caring about race serves to prove the issue exist.
I think it is ok on this forum to drop inaccurate racial bomb after racial bomb but you can't disrespect a pig who pulls around a half naked 14 year old girl. I get it......
(mic dropping)
Apparently some of you don't do your research Mr. GNBRETT...not only am I offended at your comments I am also surprised that you can't look up statistics before stating your crazy opinions...Single parent homes are all over America and pregnancy rate is high as well between all ethnicities....(....also]Who Gets Food Stamps? White People, Mostly the statement that black on black crime is staggering so is white on white so what is your point?...https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/u...f_vicitm_by_race_and_sex_of_offender_2013.xls Problem is everybody is pointing fingers at everybody and we categorize ourselves as White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Other instead of human...Race has Disconnected us, Religion has separated us, Politics have divided us, and Wealth has classified us...I'm done talking about the FACTS here but I'm tired of hearing all of the sterotypical bull**** that is race related...Bottom line no matter the race everyone within our ethnic origin is going to have the top people of their race and the bottom...let's not throw race into this issue...it is everywhere in America and yes I'm paying for it too...in taxes. I'm done responding to this thread...by the way I'm mixed Korean and Black my Father and Brother have served in the military and My fiancé is Caucasian...I love all Humans
When you look at statics you also look at the statics of the amount of white people vs other ethnics in the us and then for a percentage of how much crime is perform in say the white people vs any other. Of course white crime is higher. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe white greatly outnumber any other race in the US?
You should(or anyone) should look at amount of crime among a specific race and come up with a % to compare to other races here in the US. He specifically stated that "black" people are the ones committing these crimes and it doesnt happen with white people in the majority of cities. Bottom line you have good and bad of everybody and we need to take race out this issue. We went from article about police using excessive force to race. These were kids and sure they were wrong but situation could have been handled differently as it could have been in a lot of situations.
Example...
3% of white race commits murder out total amount of white race in USA.
7% of black race commits murder out of total amount of blacks in USA.
Find some statics like that and you can prove him wrong.
There is no need to go back and forth about it. Of course there are more white people than black so the crime rate is higher. He
So where exactly is GNBRENTT's opinions offending?
The part where he is saying the only black leaders that get attention are the ones who are working the system to make incidents of crimes to appear racist just because it is anyone other then a black person committing the crime against a black person or that black people are hurting more of themselves then white people?
Maybe where he says that instead of letting these so called leaders do their damage on the fight of racism, they should put more effort into fixing their problems internally by stopping the STAGGERLING amount of BLACK on BLACK crime and MAYBE.... JUST MAYBE listen to those who really want to help?
It's amazing how many people watched that video and all they seen what a police officer slamming a girl to the ground. Not a police officer telling a bunch of kids of which he was responding to a call where violence already erupted(hence he reason to go to the scene) and he was telling the youth's to get their buts on the ground. Prior to the girl incident, the officer asked kids to sit and you know what they did(for most part).... But the moment he walked away they all got up. Watch the video. Near the end he is talking to two kids who got up and lecturing them about how they have to sit there now till the situation is all over and they should of just followed his commands. So you tell me when you have a person who is more then capable of understanding your commands and refuses to obey. What you should do? Ask them please after they said no? It's no uncommon for an officer to ask suspects to sit on the ground. If you have them sitting and they stay it means you have better control over the situation.
Because a fight(s) broke out each person was either a witness or suspect to the crime(s) that the police was called there for.
Maybe people are upset when he drew his weapon which was brought on by two kids approaching him on his gun carrying side in what appeared to me in a threatening manner. One kid had his arm extended like he might of grabbed for his weapon if giving the chance. Do you think the gun is safer holstered or in his hand(s) when the would be attacker is on the gun side of you and you are already focused on another person of which is struggling with you?
The only thing offending about this whole thread is some peoples inability to see the whole picture of what happened.
So we agree there is more white people then blacks(African American) here in the US. Are we also in agreement that there is more violent crime among the black population in comparison to the white population too?
And here is the result of all this misdirected hatred toward police officers.
Arrests in Baltimore plummet after Freddie Gray unrest, and residents are fearful - Baltimore Sun
A decline in arrest and the highest amount of homicides in a single month in remembered history.
If that's how yall want it than fine noooooo problem don't call us because we ain't coming anyway.
Go ahead and kill yourselves we don't care is now the current opinion of cops in Baltimore.
I hope they are happy.....
Bashed cops to the point to where now they aren't gonna come save your ass from bad guys.
Good luck with that.
All good at least you know the bad people are killing off the bad people in your opinion right? Or maybe police officers in general and there are good officers too aren't as connected with their communities anymore and are just patrolling the streets...Officers need to do a better job being in the communities they police and communicating with the citizens...and the ones that do keep doing it! You are making great strides into better the communities as a whole...we appreciate your service!
That is not what Blanca said.
Also I find it funny how you told an officer he should check his research when his very job generates information for the research you are talking about. I say he has a fair idea what parts of town/city has increased crime and what race does what and how often it is done etc... He has most likely been to more homes and seem both the good and the bad then most on this forum(excluding other public servants). So while we can ASSuME he can fact his words to this forum in areas such as this.
I'll be the 1st to tell you I'm no GNBRETT groupie. We clashed opinions many times here on the forums. But I'll give my opinion on how I feel on the subject regardless of my past encounters with whomever. If I feel they are right, they are right. If wrong, I express my thoughts on why I think they wrong.
Now back to the gun pulling incident. One officer with a girl he is trying to make get on the ground(who is refusing). While doing this he is sounded by other kids not listening to his commands and at the very time he is trying to make this girl obey(who should of right off the bat) he has two other girls who he had to deal with where physical contact occurred and on his other side two kids come up pretty quick and one extends his arm out as to grab or push. I'd say he was in a potentially dangerous predicament. What did he do? Un-holster his gun. Didn't point it at the kid. Seen the other two officers come up and he gave them command to fetch the kid(s). Put his gun back in his holster and proceeded to putting the girl on the ground who was still not complying. He didn't pepper spray her or hit her with his flashlight or baton or even put the gun he already had out to her body to make her lay down. He went to using his hands to get her to lay down. You call this a bad police officer who you would rather of pulled out a tazer and used it rather then his hands? Because that was a very viable choice. "Miss I am ordering you to get down on the ground now" Draw his tazer. "Miss I said get on the ground now!" BUzzzzzzzz.
A police officer isn't required to engage in physical contact because they say no. He has the right to tazer for his own safety.
Remember tazer is often used to make suspects comply with non lethal force. Tazer are used often enough. Yet he had the restraint to not use it on someone who clearly wasn't complying.
This officers life changed that day because of how the whole incident was spun around to make him look bad.
I think you misunderstood what I stated. I clearly said he could have pulled a taser, pepper spray etc on the two kids approaching him...not on the girl he already had control over...why would he taser her if she is already on the ground...but anyways we can agree to disagree...good thing about America is we can have our own opinions...have a great evening
And this is my last statement...I guess unarmed lives don't matter anymore and all a police officer has to say is what I learned in my concealed carry class from a retired officer...If you ever shoot make sure you say "I was in fear for my life so I defended myself!" Problem is crime is going no where it will always exist but trained police officers can control the amount of people they shoot that are unarmed which is complete bull****...one life killed by accident is too many no matter the race...**** is happening wayyyyyyy too much.
