Cop Who Killed Eric Garner Got Off

[ExodusNirvana]

Nice anecdote

The problem is two-pronged:

1. not enough minority representation in law enforcement

2. not enough law enforcement reform.

Your point only applies to the overall force's make up and is misleading anyway because the NYPD's diversity membership mainly consists of Hispanics, not blacks. Only 10% of the NYPD's latest graduate class was black. The rest--90%--were non-black. Since NYPD cops are spread over a large areas and some blacks are inevitably working in an office, that means that there are likely less than 10% black officers active on the streets. This implies the overwhelming majority of NYPD cops on the street are non-black.

My point is that even if the cops were black..they would still be killing black folk because NYPD POLICING IS BASED ON STATISTICS AND QUOTAS.

From a videotap of Four Pigs brutally beating Rodney, to a camera phone video of a

Pig unlawfully choking/killing Eric, and still no justice prevails. Obama said this is

an "American Issue", yet the common thread in the Pig Brigade Slaughter List is a string of unarmed dead Black boys to men. How's that for transparency: AmeriKKKa

Still need qualified cats to infiltrate the ranks and go against the grain. That dude was probably long time c00nin before he even became an officer. I could show you videos where I've seen high ranking black police officers who you could tell were visibly upset.....


No one said it would be easy, but blacks need to infiltrate high ranking positio ns in medical, judicial, law enforcement, and corporate professions.

this thread and all others like it are apart of the problem. posting memes with malcom and martin on IG and FB are apart of the problem. if you aren't outside doing something then what's the point? how many times are we going to type about this? it's a sad day when nikkas keyboards and fingers are more exhausted from protest than our actual bodies.

Its 2014...why do you think someone cant type online and be in the field.

What have you done btw

Edit:re read..seems like you're referring to people who do nothing but be online. That I agree with

fukk reform. We need our own shyt. You think Hasids, Arabs and Chinese in NY give a fukk about low representation in law enforcement. They all have lower numbers than blacks combined in the NYPD and seem to get along just fine breh. Come to a Hasid area in Brooklyn and start some shyt and watch their black car patrols handle it. The NYPD doesn't even get involved in their matters unless outsiders are involved and thats only to haul the outsiders to jail.

These groups have the economic base and political clout to do whatever on their own terms and don't let just anyone waltz into their communities. shyt, even the gay community has sizable power because their bring them gay ass dollars (lol) with them to a point where you gotta respect their gangsta and try not to think about dikks being ate (no homo).

Point being that us trying to get in where we fit in is a tired ass concept. Building our own is the only way. And building today is very realistic because we have the manpower and believe it or not we do have the money

Word...go to Bay Ridge on a Friday night in the Summer. Their youth can walk along the ave with NO PROBLEM...sometimes wildin the fukk out...no cops, no heads gettin busted...none of that

Such is not the case in other parts of BK.

To all my Dallas people, If you haven't already done it please stop listening to K104 because they're on that bullshyt. The 2 black women on there are basically giving the finger wag to the black community, they're saying if we would've voted stuff like this wouldn't happen.

voting is one aspect of it

how are you/we supposed to get new laws on the books if the people who make the laws don't care? Democrats sat at home this midterm, as they always do. Now the ones who are about that action, are taking to the street to cover for the lazy ass cats who stayed home.

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have anything to offer working-class Afrikans. This is a systemic problem and both parties are representatives and managers of that system.

There needs to be an alternative political option built for electoral politics and for the streets.

I never said what party you should vote for. I said you should've been active in the election.

And I'm saying that's basically irrelevant because there is no mass movement to put pressure on these representatives of the ruling class, nor is there a working-class alternative at the moment.

There needs to be a set of demands that independent organizations get behind and alternative political options advanced and made viable in elections.

Yo nyc brehs im going tomorrow after work to join the protest front. Anybody wanna meet up?

The mass movement would be you, the people, actively putting pressure on the representatives. That is what you're accountable for. If it's not happening, it's because you're not doing it.

There needs to be a set of demands that independent organizations get behind

This would be called lobbying. It happens already. It just doesn't happen for the issues you care about. Again how can you change the LAWS, if haven't elected anyone willing to change them? There is a political procedure. You can join one of those independent orgs and help draft these demands too.

alternative political options advanced and made viable in elections.

Just to be clear, the variation in elections comes during primaries. At the national level, there are no alternatives because the people don't support alternatives. So again, it's up to you, the people, to make the inclusion of alternatives a priority. Ask yourself this, you're upset because there are no alternatives, but has anyone in your own family actually cared to research alternative parties or voted for the conventional option?

Protested last night my people were in full effect.

Can you go again tomorrow? I'm gonna be out there
