Where was that in his post, AB?
IMO it's the gist of Paniro's recent posts.
Black people are the only ones according to him who protest police violence and somehow that's unfair to (White)police.
I have a problem with Paniro questioning why there isn't more focus on the threat a Black person faces from someone else Black instead of going after a corrupt law enforcement system.
IMO you must have forgotten Paniro's standard operating procedure, Bliss.
For instance, if both you and Paniro are among a handful of the more conservative/libertarian leaning members on this board, YOU are a helluva lot more nuanced and well thought out in your opinions.
Paniro is a hit-and-run poster on this board and often would throw some rhetorical shit on the wall IMO for giggles then go hide.
If BLM was only protesting about Black cops using excessive force against Black suspects, he would have absolutely no problem with it.
The problem is the SYSTEM, not specifically the cops.
As a contrast, in D.C. occasionally there are stories about federal employees getting caught for embezzling money from their departmental budgets.
It doesn't matter who the criminal is, they can be a high level director or a random bank teller at a federal credit union, in every case those jokers get prosecuted and sent to prison.
Oftentimes the FBI will build a case against a federal employee then one day unannounced show up where they work, slap on the handcuffs and 'disappear' that fool.
That's called accountability and being held responsible for your own illegal behavior.
The feds don't protect bad apples, unless that apple is very high up at the top of the tree(I was thinking the Bushies and the Iraq War:smt083).
But think how hard it is to send a bad cop to jail.
Even when there IS evidence of criminal wrong doing.
If the culture changed in national law enforcement, police brutality would end almost overnight.
By culture change I mean judges and district attorneys actually arresting and convicting bad cops more often than not.
Keeping one bad cop around taints an entire police precinct and lessens the respect most people have for their officers or the profession.
The arguments I hear defending cops are similar to the ones I used to hear about Catholic priests.
At what point do we as citizens say....ENOUGH??
Rogue cops who think they're judge, jury and executioner on the streets need to be taken down and put where they belong with the other convicts behind bars.
