UN Urges US to Crackdown on Police Brutality

[FinesseKing]

Am i the only one who thinks the war on drugs is a HUGE component to police brutality? Most arrests these days are for petty drug offenses, many black males are profiled in low income areas thinking they'll have drugs on them

I would have to disagree, there are just a lot of racist white cops looking to take out their hatred on black people. The war on drugs is their excuse but I wouldn't say it's a huge component, that gives them an out. They are just racist cowards hiding behind a gun and a badge.

I always notice these weak ass police will jump a man in groups and still can't knock him clean the fukk out. They are little frail fukks.

the harm is literally immeasurable. I think it's GREATLY underestimated the harm it does to families and communities... get locked up for a drug charge and good luck finding a good job. It perpetuates a cycle of poverty and anger towards the system...There are more black males in prison today over nonviolent drug offenses than there were slaves, shyt needs to end.

the system would be more about rehabilitation than punishment if they cared about solutions more than keeping the appearance of being tough on the issue

It gives them a LEGAL justifiable reason to literally take freedom away from black folks and harass them. A cop can search your car just by claiming he smelled marijuana, which can lead to them finding other things to imprison you for.

I've taken quite a few criminal justice courses, they literally go over the fact that prisons used to be about rehabilitation, they call this era the "tough on crime" era, it's about punishment now.

I don't think it had a single identifiable purpose driving us to the current state of the prison industrial system, but it began with Nixon and Reagan who ran on platforms of anti-drug and being "tough on crime", that shyt literally got them elected. The reality is drug usage and the drug trade shouldn't be crimes. If someone wants to buy drugs, they're going to buy drugs and use them. Now we have this fukked up system where Marijuana is as bad as crack to the federal government and when you're a drug addict, we simply throw you in prison (where they still get drugs by the way, prison guards make $$$$$$$$$$ doing this). We're making crimes out of things that aren't crimes. It's really a huge clusterfukk and now there is so much money behind keeping drugs illegal, cops, the DEA, prison guards, private prison operators all have a vested interest in keeping drugs illegal. White people use and buy drugs as much as anyone else (if not more) yet blacks are profiled and disproportionately arrested for it... It all culminates in a huge shyt storm. Police develop an "US vs THEM" mentality and it goes from there.

True it is all about getting elected, I was more so making the point that they don't care as long as it mainly negatively impacts people they don't have much empathy for

It's easy to not care when the immediate people surrounding you aren't effected, it's sad, could you imagine if young well to do white kids were being imprisoned at the rate black youth is? I mean, it would be a fukking national crisis.
