What qualifications?

What exactly do you disagree with? Can you name a single instance where a community came to an officer's defense after a high profile event involving a LEO and a person of said community?

That communities who have good reason to distrust police should be expected to take a leap of faith without significant LEO outreach and empathy.

The very frame and accuracy. A community member ends up dead at the hands of an outsider with whom they have a tenuous relationship? Why would you expect anything other than for that relationship to be destroyed? You think justifying it through a court system they also have good reason not to trust is going to make any difference when one of their family or friends ends up dead? That’s privilege and entitlement for you right there.

I rarely agree with you on social issues. But mostly have respect for how you articulate your message. But this wasn't your best rebuttal.

That's not an insult, btw. Unlike you, I do struggle with articulating my message a lot of times.

It’ll grow on you.

You automatically look at LEO as the villain and the community member as the victim. That's evident here. LEO do far more good in these communities than bad. And look at Baltimore, bu-bu-but Chicago and St Louis as examples of where communities kick the police out, essentially, and see how ridden with violence, addiction and death those communities are.

I definitely believe that some people were treated terribly in the Jim Crow South. I would never disagree with that. However, I think it’s been greatly exaggerated for one. And two, it was led by rouge politicians. Most black and white people got along just fine. And that’s where the problem comes in. Instead of saying it was rouge politicians making unconstitutional laws, they frame it as “All white people were racist and were out to lynch black people”. That couldn’t be farther from the truth.

They have white people walking around feeling guilty for something they had nothing to do with. The amount of white people I’ve heard say that all white people are racist is sickening.

I disagree with most of that and its okay...so rouge politicians made "some" unconstitutional laws and all/most just went along with it?...if you don't mind could you share what part of America you are from...curious?

No, I wouldn’t participate in efforts to build those relationships if I thought they were villains. You can’t take the first step without understanding and respecting the distrust in those communities. It’s real whether you agree that it should be that way or not. How far is LEO going to get arguing that point?

Let's end today's discussion with a laugh.

Correct. Very similar to what happened with COVID and the vaccine. Politicians and other powerful people made discriminatory laws and mandates against those that didn’t want to get the vaccine. A lot of people are easily manipulated so they just went along with it.

Be careful. What you’re saying here will make a certain poster here accuse you of making things up. How dare you think like this!

Please refrain from using common sense from here forward. @Dattier doesn't know what to do with a black man thinking like a dumb, uneducated, white man like myself. Shame on you.

How about a wild change of subject. Let's talk about the rapidly increasing political violence from the left.

I’ve actually heard some on the Left defend the violence against Tesla and the violence against Jews, illegal takeover of campus buildings, preventing Jews from attending their classes as protected free speech.
Committing violent acts to advance a political narrative is the textbook definition of terrorism. Trump’s right about that, conflict of interest or not, these are acts of domestic terrorism.
I wonder how long Columbia would have put up with this nonsense if it were pro life protests or a Klan rally. They would have shut that sh- down in a New York minute.
It’s only free speech when it’s causes the Left supports. Otherwise, it’s hate speech or an incitement to violence if it’s causes they detest. Definite double standard.
