    You make no sense. They were going to arrest the guy. He has no right to resist.

    If you disagree you still have to listen to what he says. Not saying that some police officers aren't scumbags, but there are a lot of them who do their job. If you don't listen, you have to deal with the consequences, simple. Again, not defending the 'bad' cops, I just think the face that it's mentioned that someone is black or white is irrelevant most of the times

    maybe the problem starts when we teach young black kids that white people are out to get them.. then they wouldnt be protesting that their skin is being used against them.

    Yes. And those college kids, are most certainly violent and deserving of the label of thug. So allow me to correct you. I'm not comparing. They were thugs. f--- them.

    You act like were somehow teaching them that in schools or through social programs. This country teaches kids that every time they run into a cop.

    There's nothing to listen when you're only told to obey. That's what a police state is like.. if you want to vote for such a society, i would demand for you to be subdued to that sort of treament first.

    I agree that they need to be punished, sure. Violent riots are bad imo, whatever the reason is. Right now in holland dutch people protest against the refugees using fireworks/violence... even if I understand their point, using violence makes you not better than the ones you protest against imo.

    we are teaching them through schools.. when we tell them about slavery why even bring up color? why dont we mention there were black slave owners. if im a black kid and learn about slavery im gonna hate white people.. and there is plenty social programs that act as trying to help black people but in reality its just making them insecure. giving black people special treatment is wrong.. but schools, social programs and mainly the media teach black kids that whites are agaisnt them.

    just wanna say something quick...

    in the past 2 decades literally 10's of thousands of black lives have been saved because of the advancements within america's police force. that includes training, equipment, and tactics. with black people making up half of all homicide victims... no community has benefited more substantially from plummeting homicide rates. police have literally saved soooo many lives and people let these news stories about how the police are all racist get to their heads. imo, they're obviously doing way more good than bad.

    ^ i just think thats worth noting.

    You're not considering the things white people tell eachother about black people that makes them hate blacks.

    I can't say how many times in AP US History last year my teacher had to dance around the subject of slavery to make the blacks in my class feel special

    The problem is you don't care for setting the record straight, you care for erasing ALL errors

    This. But when it comes to police the good things they do almost never get mentioned.

    Have your people experienced being outcast by society down the lineage?
