I know that's true! I've had at least two run-ins with cops where they were visibly nervous and jumpy.

I think it's all that coffee and all those donuts. They're wired tighter than a feenin' crackhead on edge. Plus you add the power rush and the slightest adrenaline surge, and they go over the edge.

Your really on point here.....

They take their jobs beyond the point of serious. They're looking to be super hero's and many of the are just as fearful as the average white person with fears of black people. Their first response in training is "Get that Nigga before he gets you"

I guess they took it on step further with tazing this woman and her unborn child

I posted this same story, including the video, on a predominantly white site that I frequent, and pretty much everyone, including at least one self-admitted Mexican, were quick to demonize the woman, infer that she was a bad parent (because one of the boys fighting was her son), and defend not only the cop's presence but his use of excessive force. Most were of the belief that if she got tasered, she probably deserved it.

Then a few neocon loudmouths came around, gave me some bad rep, and decided to hijack the thread, all because I dared to question authority and asked aloud why we were expected to sympathize when a cop got shot. So I asked for the thread to be locked, which it was.

It's really true that white people can make you think they're okay, but if you bring up some hot topic, they show their true colors.

Well.
That was flat out wrong, where was the warning? Plus its kids fighting, who's the idiot that called the cops? Was there an apology? Stupidity never ceases to amaze.

You should have reminded the so-called self-admitted Mexican if they thought that the killing of little Susie Pena' (Also Mexican) in Los Angeles two years ago was called for? Did she deserve to be shot down just because she just happened to be in the arms of a man that was having a nervous break down and threatening to kill himself? Is there another way the white cop could have handled this situation to have spared the toddlers life?

I would have asked the Mexican these questions just to see his emotional response and also prove to him/her that they have different opinions about situations when Black people are involved.

That doesn't surprise me....on forums on the Atlanta Journal Constitution regarding the shooting of Kathryn Johnson, there were plenty that said it was this 92 yr-old's fault that she got gunned down by the cops in her own home.

It always pains me when I witness black people making excuses for white supremacy. You clearly do not understand that we are in a war. In this war, in complete contradiction of what you watch every week on Law and Order, and other cop shows, the police are not the good guys. They are the first line of offense among the soldiers of white supremacy. Yes, every now and then, on _rare_ occasions, they actually end up protecting the innocent. But, that is not, and never has been, the focus of their existence. They have always spent most of their time watching, not criminals, but common everyday citizens - waiting for one of us to step outside the lines of expectations so that they can slap us back into our place by any means necessary.

If you are homeless, and try to sleep in your car, the cops will sooner or later find out because they spend several hours, every night, cruising thru parking lots, looking for people engaged in such high crimes against society as digging thru dumpsters looking for food or sleeping in their cars. When the cops find such dangerous criminals, the cops will arrest them. And, if these dangerous criminals show any sign of resistance, the cops are permitted to use tasers, guns, clubs, their fists, their feet, whatever it takes to get the message out to All that resistance against the Beast is futile.

If you figure out that the entire American money supply is one big pyramid con game, and refuse to pay taxes that only serve to bubble up into the pockets of the rich and greedy minority of white folks at the top of that pyramid, the police are going to show up on your doorstep and take every solitary possession of value you own. If you object, the system of white supremacy allows them to use any means necessary -- tasers, guns, clubs, fists, feet, whatever -- to impress upon you and the greater public that resistance to the Beast is futile.

Please take the time to read the following story carefully. It is the rare case where it is admitted that police are now being trained _specifically_ to use tasers on women, kids, the elderly, and even handicapped people:

Pregnant woman 'Tasered' by police is convicted

And, another story, this one with pictures of another woman who was tased _nine_ times. This happened to be a white woman. What horrible crime did she commit to warrant such a violent response? She stayed too long in her motel room:

She should have used better judgement when dealing with the police. When she raised her hand at the cop she gave the "soldier of white supremacy", all the power in the world to do whatever he felt he needed to do.

The police, according to their own documents, are supposed to _serve_ the people, not _rule_ the people. If we allow them to _rule_ over us, it is then that we give them the power to do whatever they feel they need to do.

The police in America are way, way, way out of control. If a black neighbor had a long history, going back years, of physically abusing you, and of disrespecting not only you but your son, father, uncle, and aunt, you would have no problem at all with treating him with hostility and resistance. As a matter of fact, you would consider it an act of cowardice to do otherwise. But, a man puts on a badge and all of a sudden you start thinking you are obligated to take his sh*t. That is the mentality of a slave.

The police have been beating up black people and shooting us down in the street like dogs for years. We owe them NO respect -- none at all.

I prefer Dr. King's advice, given on the last night of his life in this realm. "A man can not ride your back unless it is bent. Bow to no man":
