I'm black and don't need to buy into anything. I just know that I have to be careful what I do on a daily basis so that I'm not treated as being threatening enough for a cop to pull out his gun and shoot me. Or for some scared white person to call the cops on me for suspicious activity. Yes anecdotal but it has happened. Stop trying to belittle my experiences.

It was only two people and I only told them to do it once. You are going around telling people that I'm harrassing you when that's the furthest thing from the truth. How is texting you "hello" once and then 17 days later texting you one sentence harassing you? Get over yourself.

Also if you would have just been direct and told me that from the beginning that you wanted me to leave you alone I would have done so and respected your wishes but silence isn't the answer. At least be direct and talk to me. Now that you have I will leave you the fuck alone.

I guess if I was white, I would say it was bullocks as well. Check your privilege sir.

Dj...the party that replied to you was referring to incidents a few years back. When you play telephone the message gets distorted. Jwb admitted to misunderstanding what I said. I really dont want to talk to you man. If I did Id call ok. Im not belittling your exsperience I pointing out that nobody is accepting responsibility for doing **** that will get you shot. Ok. Tell the whole story or not at all. Dont forget that the police that did this bad **** are either not cops anymore or in frigging jail. Jesus. You are makimg out to be like people are killing 1 black person per hour for no good reason. Im done. K.

That is a ridiculous response. "Yeah well you're white so you're wrong"

Anyone can see this video is utter bollocks, what they're saying isn't actually what happened, they leave out facts and they're doing it to push a narrative.

But you have to remember. Black lives matter. But you can't say White lives matter, because that would be racist.

I'm being sarcastic by the way. I agree with you 100%.

djchameleon

That isn't even remotely true. Did you not just hear about how the DA in the Freddie Grey case just dropped the charges against the cops that were responsible for his death. It happens ALL THE TIME.

Rarely are cops put in jail or get their badges taken away.

See that's the thing, you can say the narrative is false and leaving out details but I rather not take any risks with my life and have to put on a front of being non-threatening. You don't have to go throughout your day second guessing yourself and making sure you use the right tone so that stupid **** doesn't go down that will get you killed.

Edit: Also it wasn't meant to be a "Yeah, well you're white so you're wrong" response. It was meant to be a you are white and I'm black. We have different experiences in life response.

The video is leaving out details. It is wording things to fit the 'black people are victims' narrative.

If somebody feels they've been hard done by or treated wrongly by the police then by all means pursue it, just don't try to bull**** people.

'Walking away from police'

Why did he not just drop his knife?

The only reason I don't have to worry about getting killed is because our police are not armed. Been arrested numerous times and the times the police threatened me or were violent toward me it was my own fault.

Just comply with the police, it is not difficult. "Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir."

djchameleon

Just comply doesn't work when some officers have an itchy trigger finger and will shoot you regardless. Also, some of those cases, the guys have complied and they still got shot. Just like that one dr. that was trying to get his patient to stop with the toy truck. He was complying and got shot. Luckily he lived to tell the tale.

You are buying into the narrative that the only reason people get shot is because of of them not complying or being rowdy with the cops.
