Doubt that's possible, there are way too many of them. At least not in regular news. A news dedicated channel could do this though.

I was just going to say that lol. Zimmerman was the first time I had ever heard the terminology white hispanic used. |
Then you had never needed to fill out your race on a form? Race is not the same as ethnicity. There are black,white, asian, native, and mixed hispanics.

Yeah, no doubt. Funny how some people hate the police until someone is breaking into their house / car , then who do you think they are calling? There are no doubt some corrupt police, and unfortunately to many people they give all police a bad name (at least here in the States). |
There are too many corrupt people. The criminals (which the communists says are victms and civil right defenders say are profilled) are corrupts as well. And most police officers didn't had opportunities in life as well. So why some decide to be cops and other thugs?? I just because of race bias?

BraveNewWorld said: I'm going to lay out a few things comparing the situations. Infer what you will... 67.4% of the Ferguson, MO populace is black; that's 14,228 people. Incident took place August 9th. 212 arrests as of August 22. Copious amounts of looting and vandalizing. Accusations of racism abound. 71.5% of the Salt Lake City, UT populace is white; that's 143,576 people. Incident took place August 11th. No arrests as of August 26. Peaceful protests. No mention of religion playing a role. (A lot of Mormons in UT) |

DonFerrari said: You basically answered yourself with prejudice. I have no problem with policies that Help poor people achieve better competition for opportunities against rich guys. But that have nothing to do with race, why should a rich black have access to these privileges and a poor white don't? Are swe saying a poor white have better chances and opportunities than a rich black? And you ignored I wasn't singling black civil rights fighters, but feminists, gayzists, atheists, etc. I am aware of profilling and that black officers also profile black, is he racist against himself? Most cases I see in profilling is towards attire and attitude (gangsta and hip hop kind) than pure color. I never saw no one profilling a black guy in suit going to work or church. Usually the profilling comes from black guy being in a majorly white neighborhood and whites on black. But yes, let's reduce all towards race and hate. |
Never realized this forum was so filled with ignorant people. Just another reason why GAF is superior to this forum.
Some of the dumb, ignorant posts in this thread would have been smacked down immediately in a GAF thread.
Then again GAF is as good at debating social issues as they are at discussing video-games and have a size-able minority and LGBT community plus some active female posters unlike this forum which is probably mostly straight, white males
You know what, let's say this happened, I don't think this is part of a new trend... Most police officers are white, often in "black" neighboorhood, they often harrass blacks (and other minorities) on a daily basis, and this is not just kids in hoodies, I have black coleagues dressed in full office work attire that get 'questioned' about why they stand near a metro station (you know where people usually wait for people), some muslim coleague who get followed all the way home by some police car).
I never experienced that sort of things from the police, maybe some attitude I did not like whenpulled over for speeding, but that's it, if you're white they generally give you the benefit of the doubt, unless you are homeless... There is a serious problem with how the police interact with a lot of minorities, and it should be remedied.

In Brazil a singer that preached hate towards policemen got killed... there was an outcry from fans that police wasn't investigating because he was a funk singer and come from the community... How bizarre is to say you hate the police and complain about it's repression but then ask for it support whenever you get a problem? |
Shouln't the police be above that sort of schenanigans?
I'm going to help my fellow white brothers and sisters understand why blacks are so upset.
in 2011(couldn't find factual info on 2012 or 13 or 14) you had over 9.2 million arrest between white and black people 2/3rd's of those arrest were white while black people made up 1/3rd of those arrest. At the end of that same year you had over 1 million black and white males sentenced and of those males you had 46% who were white and 54% of them who were black.
Now how is it you have such a higher arrest rate for white people but a higher incarceration rate for black people?Blacks are targeted by the police force and you wonder why they HATE the police so much?! Blacks can't even wear hoodies at night without making people feel uncomfortable yet whites can wear hoodies and nobody bats an eye. A white person can have weed on them dressed like their favorite rapper and be walking down the street in New York and will not be stopped and frisked. Yet if a black person is walking down the street minding their business dressed like their favorite rapper in New York (because people dress like people they look up to) they will be stopped and frisked, sometimes 2 or 3 times in a day.
We all hate the whole TSA experience when we get on planes now imagine having that experience 2 or 3 times a week just because of the color of your skin? I can see why blacks are so pissed off and white people pretending they have it so hard being white make me laugh.

I'm not sure what kind of shenanigan you are talking about... but even tough Brazil police have several issues (including, profilling, abuse of power, corruption, etc) they are investigating the crime... I just say it's funny that a population that preache hate agaisnt the police and asks for its estinguishion are so fast to cry for its support when they need.
