Charlotte, here we go again. · Page 2

in fairness warm blooded americans have known this trick for a long time, maybe even invented it .

i really do not blame people for taking advantage of a bad system. shows some ingenuity i suppose.

it just always boggles my mind that the immigrants who hate america and become terrorists, despite their "righteousness," never fail to cash the assistance checks they receive from the infidels.

i thought so

some of my big city exploits have led me to the realization that many immigrants are hard working. one opens a restaurant (often living above it to maximize their right offs) and other family members work there and run it but pretend like they dont so they can collect welfare, disability, etc. genius really.

I live in a VERY immigrant heavy neighborhood. Of the 16 houses on my block, I doubt that more than one other family besides ours has been in this country more than 25 years...from all over the world - from Poland to Morroco to the Caribbean to Somalia to Nepal, to Mexico and others. Every single one is very hard working, friendly, respectful....These people, even the second generation 'kids', are working full time or two jobs and I'd be extremely surprised if any one of them could swallow their pride enough to accept something they felt they have not worked for and earned. Honestly, that has been my experience with the vast majority of immigrants that I've ever met.

More rioting last night, a man shot, one report says he died, hotel employees injured. Opel, police have said from the start the man had a gun, not a book. Why would you immediately not believe them?

Can you tell me more about what i immediately did?

Also, this immediate thing is gonna screw people up without some clarification... are we telling people about my immediate reaction to the actual shooting or just what i did immediately after i found out about the shooting? There was a lapse of about 2 hours between them i think and i don't want people accusing us of blurring the lines...

What i do believe, and what i said is that if unarmed black men stop getting shot by the police, i.e. Tulsa, then maybe when armed black men are shot by the police, i.e. Charlotte, no one will give a sh*t...

Just my pre-coffee, pre- cigar thought...

Since I put up a post about the Tulsa shooting looking bad, I think it was fair to think you were speaking of Charlotte since you were not specific.

The first mention of Charlotte on this thread was almost 4 hours after my post... "fair" would've been for you to assume I was accurately speaking of one of the many shootings of unarmed black men...

I'm sick of the whole thing. If people would cooperate with the police they wouldn't be shot. Period.

many was the wrong word
should have said some

in my experience (which is what we are comparing here) it depends on the country of origin

for example, i have never met an indian who the above applied

but once again, I'm not sure i fault people for taking advantage of a crummy system

I assume you're also sick of unarmed black men being shot by police? Get rid of that one and the rest of them will probably go away...

In the context in which the first statement was made, it reasonably allows one to conclude that that you believe police in Charlotte shot an unarmed black man.

there is a fine line between doing what you say, and allowing it to become a police state. We all must be aware of growing power regardless of the current ruling party, even one we like.

That is less of a problem than most realize.

From a LEO's perspective let's take a look at a few things:

Profiling isn't nearly as big a problem as one would suspect, especially in mid-sized and larger municipalities. Here's why. The vast majority of LEO's spend their day responding to calls for police assistance. Take the agency I left in January. In three of the six substations, each officer on patrol will get dispatched to at least 12 calls in a 12 hour shift. Travel time will be about 5 minutes. Time on call will run from 20-30 minutes. Time spent writing a report on that call will be about 10 minutes. On average each call will occupy 45 minutes of the officer's day. So 12 calls * 45 minutes = 9 hours. Add another 45 minutes to sit down for lunch and a couple 15 minute toilet breaks. So that leaves 1 hour and 45 minutes of "play time" right? Nope. Suppose you have to book someone into jail. There goes that play time. In reality the average patrol officer generally will not self initiate any calls because they have very little time to do so.

Those in specialized divisions spend the vast majority of their shifts following up on existing cases.

Not saying it doesn't exist, just no where near as prevalent as most think.

What about the secret division that just profiles and harasses people including mr. jones? Denying it exists just verifies its existence.

Anthony - as i already conceded to spey, yes, the thread the statement was made in would make it reasonable for someone to come to that conclusion... thank you for pointing it out again for those who may have missed it on the last page...

As for this:

"That would be nice, but I'm sure the the activists will find another cause to unite behind."

Is that really so bad? If these activists are getting cops who shoot unarmed civilians held accountable - even if it's just one instance of one cop - is that really so bad? I don't agree with violence or looting but clearly not all or even most of these "activists" can be blamed for that...

In the spirit of full disclosure, the Charlotte thing seems pretty cut and dry in my mind, as does the Tulsa thing... Charlotte = guilty armed black man, Tulsa = guilty white girl cop... unlike tw, i like to throw stones before all the facts come in... they can always be picked up later and thrown again at someone else...

Also... what some call 'profiling', others call 'policing the statistics' and a good cop will use that to his/her advantage.

Say you're patrolling a neighborhood where statistics have shown 90% of the crimes are committed by meth-addled white guys. The smart cop is going to focus his 'policing' on the group in question.

Are the white guys being 'profiled', or is the cop just using good, common sense?

Charlotte has become an all out race riot.. the cop shooting the dude with the gun was just an excuse.. those people hate the white man and are very clear about it.. 😟
