One of the Dallas cops killed was a white supremacist

Well well well

Given the circumstances that's not enough evidence for me, though I completely welcome outing white supremacists.

 

Oh really? There had to be a investigation. The right wingers bring the rap sheet or something negative about the Black victims of police shootings. I wonder what is their opinion now? No doubt the crickets chirp.

 

Quote from the first link;

With this information in mind, the question no longer becomes “Are these cops racists?” but rather “Just exactly how racist are these cops?”

In this particular instance, there is no evidence as of yet to suggest that Micah Johnson was anything but indiscriminate in his targeting of the police he killed. Yet, even with no prior knowledge, he still managed to hit a Nazi, completely at random. What does that tell you about the nature of our police departments?


We've got serious problems in our law enforcement IMO.
You have to wonder why a White supremacist would feel at home and welcome working as a police officer??

When your local police precinct is seen as a refuge for White supremacists, it makes you feel like we've all been underestimating the scope of the problem.

 

The cop could have been a card carring member of the NAACP for all the shooter knew. He still would have shot him. That's the problem with indiscriminate retaliation.

 

You're missing the point.

There have been several cases of police precincts nationwide literally being infilitrated by neo nazis, KKK members and White supremacists.

If these are a percentage of the White candidates who go into law enforcement and are being given a badge and a gun, we've got major problems in the criminal justice system that are bigger than a few rogue bad cops.

What if I told you 10-30% of elementary school teachers were previously under surveillance for distributing child porn??

No way you'd brush that off like whatever.

If avowed racists are pursuing careers where they have the freedom and authority to act out on their ideologies, nice speeches isn't going to fix that.

 

I'm not brushing anything off. I'm quite aware of the long and storied history of white nationalist/supremacists in law enforcement. As far as I'm concerned the entire American police system is built on a corupt foundation.

I'm making an entirely different point. I'm saying, that this cop being racist doesn't negate the impact of the shooting.

 

We don't even know if who the shooter really is.

The so called experts claimed there were more than one shooter pinning the cops down from multiple locations...then it turns out to be one dude.

For all we know,dude just might be a patsy like Lee Harvey Oswald.

 

No one else gets nearly the same opportunity to be incredibly noble. You are doing it well #black privilege.

 

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not being noble.

I'm just a Black America man who wants what is best for the future of my people. As such, I recognize that responding to violence and racism with more violence and racism is not a strategy that will work for us. The best strategy for real change is a strategy that people like Brother Martin helped define 50 years ago.

 

Agreed. We've seen many cases where a questionable police shooting all of a sudden has folks digging up dirt from the victims' past. I'd bet those same people's head would explode being faced with the same type of BS being done to police officers who are shot.
