This is getting interesting now
Does anyone else find it hilarious how 1 cop can kneel on a black persons neck and get fired, but multiple cops are allowed to drive through crowds with no (yet) repercussions?
Assault with a vehicle is more serious than assault with a knee imo

Is it really "getting interesting" to you now?

You find it "hilarious", do you?

A source of entertainment, amusement and frivolity in a life devoid humanity, compassion, empathy and meaning?

A life that is nothing but a black hole, a void, a vacuum, an emptiness that no matter how much you attempt to feed it with toxic sludge, the hole, the void, the vacuum the emptiness always remains?

Try a knee on your neck for over 8 minutes grinding in as your torso is held down and ask yourself the question between a car or a knee again.

Believe me, im the last guy to stick up for police. I think they have a license to do what they want because they're hardly ever held accountable for their wrong actions.

I will however say innocent people will NEVER know what that feels like. Stay out of trouble and you wont give the police a reason to abuse you.

Stop justifying criminal activity.

Would you say the same thing if the police put a knee on the neck of someone that committed a crime against you?

Not true.

Yes. Obviously. If someone gave me a counterfeit $20 would i want him slowly choked to death in front of me? Of course not. I wouldn't want him seriously roughed up at all.

Might I felt differently if I had been physically assaulted? Maybe.

Not true at all. If cops think you are guilty, then they feel they can do whatever they want.

I had the misfortune of dealing with those types of police. All because the wrong piece of paper was given to them.

I was a strip club one night and an old friend of mine just started as a bouncer. I gave him my number so we could catch up later as he was working and I was leaving before close. At closing a fight broke out, and a guy was stabbed. The guy who stabbed him took off, the GF left with him. What no one but my bouncer friend knew was the GF gave him her number. So when cops show up he say "Hey, I have the GF's number" and reached into his pocket. He gave them my number instead.

So my house gets surrounded by police, but I am not home. I'm cross the street eating with my kids. Someone calls me to tell me about the cops all around my house. Looking in windows, pounding on doors, questioning neighbours. I say, send them over. I know I am innocent.

I have my kids with me as well I should say. Two plain clothes and two uniform officers come to the diner. I seat them at a table I can still watch my kids while they eat but they don't have to hear what is going on. They asked me once where So0n-so was and I told them truth, I don't know who that guy is. Then the aggression starts.

I call my neighbour to pick up my kids from the diner, and I tell the cops, let's go to the station because it is not going to be worked out in a diner. I honestly had no idea what was going on and who they were asking about.

Fast forward to the station, after I am cuffed and taken out of the diner of course even though I am non combative, not the person who actually comment the crime or they even think committed it because they knew the BF did it not the GF. I was pushed into a jail cell, I was rough housed, pulled around in cuffs. They do it purposely to hurt you because they know they can and they are not leaving marks.

The threatens to take my kids away, they threaten jailed, they got verbally abusive. They did everything they could. Yet still not telling me anything.

I finally told them if they don't give me some info, I can't help them. They come back the paper with my phone number on it. Ding Ding Ding, I finally figure it out. I explain that I gave it to the bouncer. Where I was when I gave it and my alibi for the evening. They left me alone for about 45 mins while they figured it out, came back and were all sweet and nice. Gave me back my purse, let me go have a smoke while they did the paper work, gave me a ride home.

Point is, they had it wrong. They thought they knew but they didn't. In turn I was left with cuff marks, a bruise on my knee from falling into the cell after being pushed. I was verbally abused, my kids were threatened to be taken away. They had to see their mom go off with police and were scared. Some of my neighbours never really looked at me the same and it caused issues with my ex at the time as he tried to leverage it in our custody and support dispute.

And all this to a little white Whitby lady.

I can't even imagine being a black man in American today if all that was done to me for no reason and I am white.
