That is exactly the point of these protests and for BLM. They are trying to shed light that they are targeted more than any other group by police. Right or wrong, the perception is that there are too many incidents where police are wrongfully doing so. The reasons blacks are being targeted more are irrelevant where innocent people are involved. Remember Treyvon Martin? This issue is a whole lot more than don't act dumb and the police won't target or shoot you.
No doubt.
Dirty Harry cops are awful. As I've said many times in this forum, bad cops and the whole buddy buddy system they do is absurd. A cop can kill an innocent bystander and every cop nearby stands there like a moron and the police chief later that day answering questions defends his actions.
Absolutely wrong.
But, what will improve the entire Black/cop cat and mouse game of stupidity where Black's do dumb things and cops do dumb things would decrease (IMO) if the Black community smartened up, and tried to move up the ladder like every other minority over the decades. What happens is the overall economic status improves within a group, things improve, crime is cut down and guess what? Cops will cut down getting pissed off and patrolling their neighbourhoods.
As I said in the post, nice paying jobs and big companies don't hire people who speak ghetto. You know it. I know it. Clean up the mannerisms and guess what? More companies will hire.
Do you work in an office? A medical building? Something similar? How many people work there acting like they grew up watching rap videos? Here's the answer. Zero. That's the point I'm making for improving and being more attractive for hire.... = more $$$.
It's not that 1% of Dirty Harry cops doing dumb shit making the Black population kept down. It's the Black community keeping themselves down. Even if every policemen is 100% clean, law abiding and helps society, things won't change for the Black community because most companies won't hire anyone (doesn't matter on race) who acts ghetto-ey. Excluding athletes, singers and people being their own boss, when it comes to jobs where people work for a boss, it's actually very easy. The better the job, the more clean cut and professional you have to act. The shittier the job, the less professional you have to act. And if someone really acts ghetto, the best job someone will offer is probably a fast food or general labourer job. Or at best some kind of blue collar job, or car mechanic job where it's most all guys who can joke around like guys and nobody will care.
And you know that. Me too.
It's not like Asians and Indians are where they are by pure luck. They immigrated to western countries, have historically never got into crime and drugs, and seemingly have always strived to be decent in school and get good jobs.
No famous celebrities to look up to. Most politicians are white guys, most cops (especially decades back) are white, you name it.
Asians and Indian people don't seem to give a shit about western countries being mostly run and promoted with white people.
And guess what? Stay out of trouble, and cops don't hassle. Chinatown has always been a pretty densely populated area, and also pretty scuzzy. Since day one it's been like this. Yet, how often have the police been asked to keep an eye patrolling the area and hassling people in the area?
Never.
All I'm saying is stay out of the spotlight of stupidity and cops will hassle you less.
It's like speeding. Go the speed limit or just a bit over and no cop will waste his time pulling you over. Go 40 km over the limit and that hidden cop car on the side now has a reason to chase you down.
Don't get me wrong, some cops are dicks and will give you a ticket going 70 km in a 60 km zone. But 99% of the time, they will focus on the people who do worse... like the guy zipping at 100 km in a 60 km zone.
