Justice Dept. Inquirery to Focus on Practices of Police in Ferguson

So "power" to you means "the power to hire and fire". Then the minorities need to get jobs where they hold that power or open their own businesses so they can hire or fire at will.

My boss is black, He hired me, and he can fire me anytime he likes. I guess he's lucky.



My guess is that he's an excellent worker.

It takes a lot more than luck to get to the top. Especially if your skin is black.
 
Maybe you'd like to explain how any minority group can be effectively racist when the majority has all of the power and almost all of the money.

Fill us in.


If I may be of help, "racism" has nothing to do with power. Hate is an equal opportunity employer.
 
The White people in the USA.

Who else runs the USA?

SAN ANTONIO TEXAS (one of the largest cities in America) and probably LA are run by Hispanics.

How long have you been away'?

Let's see...who runs the USA?

There is the executive branch, which carries out the legal end as dictated by congress.

That executive branch is headed by Barrack Hussein Obama, who does, I believe self identify as black. His top cop is a black activist and much of his cabinet is black [interesting there are no Asians] and a good chunk of congress self identifies as black.

Yes. The Whites have ALL the power.
 
To bring charges, prosecutors must show that Officer Wilson intended to violate Mr. Brown’s civil rights when he opened fire and that he did so willfully — meaning he knew it was wrong but fired anyway

That could be a little difficult to prove. It doesn't appear that Wilson ever had any charges of racism or civil rights violations filed against him in 8 years as a police officer.

Hopefully what the end result of this investigation will be is the replacement of the 50 white officers on the force with 50 minorities/black officers. Then the problem will be gone.

And that should be done because blacks make better cops or because white cops are all prejudiced against blacks?
 
Yeah right.....

I get the business from cops all the time.

I'll be walking down the street minding my own damn business at 1-2am and the cops will roll up on me and ask me what I'm doing - they go out of their way to screw with people...

I don't know how many times I have been cuffed and heard the words: "you're not under arrest, you're just being detained." - really for what? walking down the damn street?

Race plays no roll here either - it's just a bunch of punk cops looking to bust balls..

Then they call me a punk for not answering every irrelevant question they have. A) they have no right to even question me, B) they have no probable cause to even question me, C) they have no right to search me given both A & B and D) they're just trying to be tough ass bitches.

Of course the powers that be allow these clowns to act this way.



I am a virtual libertarian when it comes to cops, but I would suggest that anyone strolling in an American city at one or two in the morning NEEDS to be assessed. The fact the United States has more guns than people, the highest crime and murder rates in the industrialized world simply begs for a police interdiction.

The fact you guys seem to prefer overgrown sadistic bullies as cops is subject for another time
 
Who do you think controls the vast majority of the hiring and firing in the USA?


There is not ONE black CEO or Human resources officer?

There are no black run businesses, no blacks the head of unions?

Sorry, but your argument is unsound, no one race "runs the country"....

You're obviously not a libertarian then...

I don't actually live in Chicago (even if I did what would that matter)... Also the town I live in has had (I believe) one murder in the last 3 years.

Furthermore I could care less if there were 100 murders - that still doesn't give the cops the RIGHT to shake me down when I'm doing nothing more than walking down the street.

I know my damn rights..... And I know cops alleged "rights" er tyranny.

You actually know squat about me and to make that call in the opening sentence demonstrates a firmly closed mind.

I don't think so..... You're the ones claiming the "storm troopers" can just stop and frisk or even detain anyone they want without probable cause.
 
I hope it spreads to police practices all over the country. Major change is needed to restore integrity to the police profession.

There will never be a repair to how the anti-police morons see the police. The only solution in their universe is for the magic police to be employed. The magic police appear only when you want them and never, ever concern themselves when YOU break the law, because they know you're so nice and didn't really mean it or it's your right to break the law doncha know. :lamo

I don't know. I just copied the bolded part from the link. My last line was facetious.

Good the "storm troopers" can leave me the **** alone....

They can go about catching real criminals - if they're smart enough to find them (which they aren't) except for the idiot twelveteen gangsters hanging out on their driveways talking **** to anyone they actually believe they can beat up (which are usually old men/woman who are white).

I'm a white woman married to a white man. I'm trying to figure out how we have more power than our black President, or our black Attorney General, or the black CEO of American Express, or the black CEO of Xerox, or the black CEO of Merck, or the Hispanic CEO of Kodak, or the Hispanic CEO of GameStop, or the Hispanic CEO of ADP, or for that matter, my black boss....I could go on, but you get the picture. Because I read that whites hold "all of the power and most of the money".

The cops in New York City do this all of the time.

It's SOP with them.

Hating on people you have no power over is a waste of hate, because you can't do anything to them.

You just spinning your wheels without getting anything done.

That is why I tend to stay where I belong - as sorry as it may seem - given this is supposed to be a free country.

I'm aware of that.

That's two cities in a country with a population of over 300 million. Now do you see what I'm talking about?

Phew!!

I replied before I looked at who I replied to and then figured maybe you'd been turned!!

Anyway, the real sore spot for me in all this is that the DoJ is there in the first place. If there is an investigation that needs to be done then it should be handled at the state level, not the federal level. The ONLY reason the federal government should get involved would be if there was reason to believe that the state justice department was covering something up.

Tell your story to the millions of black young men who don't have a job or are locked up, because I'm not buying it.

I'm sure they'll be glad to hear how good they're doing. :roll:

The USA is a free country, but some parts are a lot free-er than other parts.

I've lived all over the USA and I noticed that a long time ago.

The police I want simply have to obey the 4th amendment and aren't allowed to use violence unless it's actually necessary. If you think those are too difficult, then I'm forced to wonder why you don't turn your anti-government notions toward the violent government agents in your midst.

Every part of the US is free - You just need to know your rights and when you do you will be free..

I cant do anything about tyrannical cops but I can keep my mouth shut and not resist or give cops any reason to arrest me........
