White police officers should boycott working in black neighborhoods . Let the black anarchist rule their hoods for a while and sit back and see how black lives matter while they fill up the graveyards with the arrogant thugs who will create the mischief . Then they will beg those officers to come back .

It was good for Greta to put a needed good word in for those who do LE.

White police officers should boycott working in black neighborhoods .

Maybe they should just stop shooting people? There is no doubt at all that the vast, overwhelming majority of all police officers go out there every day and do a difficult and dangerous job, a job I freely admit that I couldn't do, and they do it well. But when that tiny minority step out of line and abuse their powers then the solution is not to blame the people of the neighborhood. When police officers do wrong they they deserve blame.

Until I am absolutely certain that I and people like me are not even a speck on their radar compared to certain “stereotypes” of people to be suspicious of, I am hesitant to thank the police for anything.

“Until I am absolutely certain that I and people like me are not even a speck on their radar compared to certain “stereotypes” of people to be suspicious of, I am hesitant to thank the police for anything.”

Until such time as you gain that certainty, have the courage of your convictions and don’t call them for anything. Handle your own problems in a manner which you are “certain” is the correct way. No law enforcement officer should be asked to put his life and that of his family in jeopardy for someone with your mindset.

I fully agree with the poster who suggested that law enforcement should stand down in certain neighborhoods for awhile and let the “objectors” take care of themselves for a time. The law officers jobs have become not only thankless, but in some instances, futile and suicidal. Why continue to ask them to sacrifice their whole lives and that of their families for a bunch of uncivilized ferals with a mob mentality?

If you really think that posting videos of law enforcement officers using approved methods to handle belligerent, openly hostile or non-compliant individuals is going to convince anyone, then I’m sure the mainstream media has a plum job waiting for you. Perhaps the officers forgot their lollipops and Mickey D coupons that day.

People who think like you and the people on these videos are injured and sometimes die for the most stupid reasons that can be imagined. Complying with the simple commands of “stop”, “put your hands behind your back”, “get out of the vehicle”, “lower your voice” or “stop resisting” would be simple and easily understood as necessary by intelligent individuals. The video also neglects to tape the acts that attracted police intervention in the first place.
.
Every scenario in your little collage depicts individuals refusing to comply with law enforcement because they think that the only laws worth following are their own personal ones. Good luck with that. Your screen name gives away the era in which you must think we’re living. If you don’t like law and order or understand the need for enforcement, then you most certainly are not going to like what’s coming. Remember that I said it.

Cops rarley prevent violent crime as it is so a “boycott” wouldn’t be noticed anyway. They have FBI stats showing the clearance rate by state and nationally for cops and its pretty dismal..just Google “police clearance rate”..

While I don’t agree with BLM on the whole(how they ignore black on black crime & behavior) I do think a cop who shot that man in Chicago was rightfully charged for 1st degree and I do think the “thin blue line” protects corrupt cops(GI Joe Cop was a stunning example of how this misguided cop worship lets people like him get away with what he did for years)

Cops are government employees who are enforcers of the law and to keep general order. Thats it. Courts have ruled multiple times cops have no duty to protect individuals. While cops(in general) aren’t demons the way BLM portrays them, they aren’t Saints who can walk on water and turn water into wine either.

If beating the living crap out of people is "officers using approved methods to handle" suspects then we are truly headed towards Nazi Germany or the USSR.

Maybe after a gang of para-military Rambo's blow through your front door, shoot your dog, tear your house all to hell, pop a couple of caps in your ass, then say, oops, sorry, we got the wrong house, you'll change your mind.

I’m going to repeat something that I’ve said several times on this board. If that’s the way you view law enforcement, then spread the word among your friends; handle your own and don’t call them, ever, for anything.

There are a lot of people (including LE) whom we should be thanking today - both those alive and those who have passed on.

But first and foremost, we should be thanking God for His blessings. Without Him, we would have nothing to be thankful for. If you doubt that, check out the Islamic hell holes in the world and then report back.

I suspect almost everybody here feels the same way.

You’re joking right ??? Cops rarely prevent violence that often ,,, by maintaining order they prevent it every hour of every day . They can’t respond to violence till they are aware of it .

In the video, the guy that was hit by the car was down and out. Wasn’t moving. Why did 10 or 12 cops need to beat the crap out of him? Do you approve of that behavior?

I don’t hate the police as such, I detest “zero tolerance” attitudes that relieve an authority from what I see as it’s duty to think more critically than that.
