Might as well been a room full of Klansman. All that's different is the uniform.

I've always been of the belief that not ALL... or even most... cops are bad. But seeing something like this... happening in a room full of them at a party... this shakes that belief some.

Then some question why the slogan 'Black Lives Matter'. You wonder why? This is why. But I'm sure there's SOME excuse for it that someone will give me.

This is absolutely disgusting. And to see some guys walking out smiling... like they're at a fucking wedding reception... unbelievable.

that was directed that the individual who feels that cops should be allowed to have their belief systems shaken by a criminal shooting one of them. It wasn't clear what beliefs in particular he was talking about but I felt like I was reading a Shaun King column so I gave it a Shaun King type response

why post this? Are you intent on taking a trip down memory lane revisiting every atrocity committed by every person ever? This incident was from May 2014, the video from December 2015. can we not move on from anything?

maybe throw a Trayvon Martin video on here. I can see how that would help.

You say this video shakes your belief that not all cops are bad.

How do you think cops in NY felt last week when one of their own was shot point blank in the head? You think something like that is easy to deal with and doesnt shake their beliefs?

Yea, I guess it's easy for you to look at an online video highlight of a group of asshole cops somewhere acting like idiots.

Probably harder for you to imagine that their job is real, life and death judgement every day. Responsibility for the lives of the general public and making it home to their own lives.

There are asshole people in all walks of life. You can protest whatever injustice you want to protest all day long. That's never changing that fact.


You know what's probably harder for you to imagine? A fucking sense of decency, empathy, and knowing what extra hoops POC have to jump through when it comes to interactions with the cops.

I never said that. It does happen. Every day. It's wrong.

But violence is not restricted to one race. I hate that. Police brutality against blacks gets publicized by the media incessantly to fuel a narrative. Police brutality happens every day, across all colors, races and religions. Just like racism is a part of our daily lives, from ALL races.

My point is that the narrative should be that Police should not be beating up or killing ANYONE unless necessary.

ktinsc : 7/15/2017 1:06 am : link
There should be no place for it anywhere in our society.

The video shows exactly ONE individual smiling as he walks out of the room where the song is being played. There are others sitting at a table in the background but I couldn't make much of their behavior from the film. The guy walking out of the room could literally be smiling about having just seen someone he hadn't seen since he retired. He may not have even been aware of the song in the background.

What I don't see is a group huddled and clapping or nodding in agreement with the lyrics. There is no justification for the lyrics so please don't misinterpret that I'm trying to justify them. The song sucks but I don't see these people celebrating the song itself. They may have been but I just don't see it in the video.

not only is this comment disgusting, it is just non-sense race agitation.

So they believe that Michael Brown tried to grab a cop's gun (in order to kill the cop) and this guy gets shot. Then the entire lie of hands up don't shoot, CNN, etc....

so they are having fun at his expense for being a dip shit at a private party? If someone tried to kill anybody I know I'd be happy they were dead and couldn't harm anybody else. I wouldn't sing about it, but I wouldn't cry about it either.

Are the black cops Klansman too or any black person who paid more attention to the details then the fake news?

People still want Zimmerman dead and the details strongly point to a justified shooting.

I get it (for like the fifth time on this thread), and have already stated that it goes both ways... but if you started a thread with that video there would be NO ONE that would try to justify it... call it 'Fake News'... or imply that it's ok that they sing a song like that just a few months after the kid was killed. Not. One. Person. But since it's the other way around... well, look at this thread and you'll see why this kind of disgusting behavior will probably never end... because it's always excused away. Every single time. It's why it will continue to happen. They're no better than the mother who constantly says 'Not my boy! He's a good boy!' when her son commits a crime.

We're constantly asked to not see LE officials as just 'cops' but as people... who 'want to go home and see their families'. Always trying to kind of humanize police officers so that we see them as heros and men and women of upstanding character. You tell me who are the animals after seeing that video.

You should save your breath because nobody takes your opinion seriously. You're a sycophant, authoritarian bootlicker who desecrates the dead to fuel a narrative due to the fact you are unable to believe that reality falls outside of your prescribed worldview.

Precisely.

It's not like the kid went on a shooting spree and killed dozens of innocent people in the street or caused major heartache to anyone or group of people. This was a kid who made some bad choices and paid the ultimate price for those choices. To celebrate his death as if he was Hitler or Osama Bin Laden... just doesn't make any sense. And anyone trying to defend it doesn't make much more sense to me either.


Are you talking about Michael Brown? Bad choices? He tried to take a police officers gun. He attcked a police officer. You're outraged by this video (i think they are stupid for participating in the song and the person who wrote it is an idiot, but it isnt an indictment on all cops) but what Michael Brown did was just make some bad choices?

The people in the video made bad choices.

So the outrage from a 2014 video can continue...BUT...

Do you assume they're all police because "filmingcops.com" tells you so?

I did a little research. The party was part of a charity golf event and was put on by a police officer that has been retired for 10 years. There were about 60 people there, about half of which were associated with law enforcement, most of those retired.

If you can figure out how many enjoying the song were active pplice officers, I'd be interested in having that info.

or even that his death wasn't justified, to find that video disgusting. I shed no particular tears for Michael Brown but cmon - singing a song like that amid gales of stupid laughter is just sick.

The grinning shitheads in the "I Can Breathe" shirts are even more disgusting.



Precisely.

It's not like the kid went on a shooting spree and killed dozens of innocent people in the street or caused major heartache to anyone or group of people. This was a kid who made some bad choices and paid the ultimate price for those choices. To celebrate his death as if he was Hitler or Osama Bin Laden... just doesn't make any sense. And anyone trying to defend it doesn't make much more sense to me either.



Are you talking about Michael Brown? Bad choices? He tried to take a police officers gun. He attcked a police officer. You're outraged by this video (i think they are stupid for participating in the song and the person who wrote it is an idiot, but it isnt an indictment on all cops) but what Michael Brown did was just make some bad choices? Lol

The people in the video made bad choices.


And here's the other Les.

As if him allegedly trying to take the cop's gun wasn't a 'choice' he made... it HAS to be something else... something more... sinister I'm guessing.

And it isn't an indictment on all cops... just the ones (of which there were more than a few) that were there enjoying the entertainment. But please... continue to defend disgusting and wrong behavior... it's what some folks in this country have made a habit of doing it seems.

As it should be ignored since...

1) you haven't provided any kind of link yet

and 2) as usual, you're downplaying the incident.

The fact that he'd think that is enough.
And the even sadder thing is...
