Nike and Converse giving 30% off today for all Cops

[Malikthegod]

obviously not they're public servants and our taxes pay their salaries...they have a job to do. even if you shoot someone that breaks in your house you have to call them eventually. i think the point is nike didn't have to take a stance especially during a volatile time like this and with so many competing brands its easy to cut them off...this is why most businesses take neutral stances on social issues. even chik fil a backtracked on that gay stuff

They offer this discount every year though. I'm just saying this isn't the same as say, boycotting Whole Foods or Five Guys who specifically took a stance on a social issue.

Good to know.
I'm not fukking with nike no more cause of this.

Can't support companies that openly support cops.

 

[notPsychosiz]

You gonna boycott everyone that gives cops discounts?

yup... if its a luxury item like a nike shoe.

I can't boycott medicine or housing or something important... but basketball shoes?

fukk Nike.
fukk cops.

The #BoycottNike hashtag on Twitter of course has white people saying that it's dumb, but it looks like there are some Black people doing that too. Like they are really taking it personally that other Black people want to boycott.

The fact that they're calling it "dumb" means to them. The amount of black money that goes into Nike is astounding.

And why even give discounts for cops? They don't deserve special treatment. Our taxes pay their salaries. They don't deserve shyt.

Say you're injured in an accident or your crib is on fire? Still not going to call 911? This discount wasn't only for police officers, but for all first responders. So y'all boycotting them as well?

911 isnt the cops. Its emergency.
In those scenerios you described you need the Paramedics and the Fire Department.
I got no issue with either of those groups.

They aren't murdering unarmed black people every 24 hours.

Why do people always use that dumb argument about "if you hate cops does that mean you'll never call 911"?

The discount isn't exclusively for police officers, but for ALL first responders. Y'all dudes just love being up in arms about anything.
Y'all really out here looking over your shoulder hoping a cop doesn't shoot you?



You have a better chance getting murked by someone who
looks just like you.
