[QUOTE="Blockinlick, post: 6667, member: 234"] Look, I'm a far right conservative in most areas... but when I put myself in the shoes of the average black person, it can't not move me a little. I've always held this belief that there's not as much racism as they think there is... but over the last couple of years, I've become less and less secure about that. Not only that, but the "Blue Line" thing is a problem for everyone. Cops almost NEVER hold each other accountable for anything and it's becoming a problem. This is a straw to break the camels back thing to me. It's become painfully clear that our police standards and processes for vetting and psychological evaluation need to changed. That cop has an extensive history of discrimination. He never should have gotten the job, let alone keep it after multiple offenses. Cops around the country can condemn him all they want, but tooting their horn to morally posture means NOTHING if they don't ACTUALLY do something about it. As the cliche goes "[I]Apology without changed behavior is manipulation[/I]." I'm not justifying riots & looting & whatnot, but that kind of change is long overdue and this is what you get when those who feel oppressed feel like they weren't heard. [/QUOTE]
