To those who insist racism is not common nor prevalent among police departments ...

Re: To those who insist racism is not common nor prevalent among police departments .

No, that's not all I get to see. And I grew up next door to a public housing project. I've seen plenty of videos of police not reacting, but instead instigating proactively against persons that presented no threat. The records bear it out, and continuing to deny the reality in America's cities proven over and over again is beyond the pale in dishonest allegiance to active racist actions committed by public officials.

And I policed housing projects and for the most part, I had to worry about being killed in that area every time I went there.

Before being a cop, I was a beer truck driver in San Mateo County Calif. When I delivered in East Palo Alto, Ca., a predominantly Black hood, I went there early in the morning for my deliveries, when most of the Blacks were still sleeping off the drugs and booze from the night before. I got out before Noon and back to the other side of the Bayshore Freeway to much better/safer neighborhoods. I always carried a gun, because no one was safe doing business there.
The 7-Up truck driver, was attacked for no reason, beaten senseless to near death and all his product stolen. I delivered Budweiser, a much more sought after product.

LOL......... most any time a cop pulls up to public housing " disturbance call" they are immediately harassed, and surrounded by inciters.

Hell, they are harassed none stop, assaulted and sometimes killed, no matter how much "sensitivity training" they have had.
All that liberal poppycock, means nothing.

False. I live in a public housing area as we speak, and I'll often see other residents in this area walk up to the police to ask or report something.

Why do you have such an insatiable and unwavering compunction to falsify claims about poor black people?

Sure, there are token, "nice" Black folks in the projects, I'd never deny that fact.

LOL...geeees.

Maybe you should spend less time pontificating on DP, and use the time to better yourself................ so that you can move away from public housing.

Playing the victim obviously isn't working for you either.

You got that right!

I don't deal well with violence, but living next door to bigots is not an appealing prospect, either.

You haven't yet addressed what I said, and instead are attempting to victim-shame, its not a particularly noble ad hominem -- not that any ad hominem is noble. Am I supposed to be any more impressed by this than your intellectual dishonesty, racism denialist, refusal to correct your assessments despite a preponderance of evidence disproving your assertions?

You're welcome to take a step back, re-assess your outlook on society and culture and find a way to end your supremacist mindset anytime you choose.

I'm not dishonest. When I went to a Black neighborhood, in most cities, I'd be expecting to get shot or knifed at any time.
In some places, society sucks and that ain't gonna change. Supremacy has nothing to do with it.

Wow, a black person did something not nice and therefore the whole lot of them deserve to be shot by police and that should never be questioned.

Timothy McVeigh blew up a federal building and killed a lot of people. Should every white Christian be subjected to being treated as a terrorist as a result?

You keep digging your grave deeper and deeper. You are not doing your soul, your morality, your honor, your integrity nor your credibility any service by continuing to refuse to address your now out and proven bigotry.

Nope, only the guilty ones. Tim McVeigh's crime, was a very isolated incident and had nothing to do with The Hood, where committing crime is an ongoing activity 24/7/365.
Bigotry? Telling the truth and recognizing reality....is bigotry?

Epic proportions? There were 900 people shot and killed by police last year in the US, out of millions per day of police/civilian interactions. The vast majority of those the person had a weapon or was attacking police. That percent is unbelievably small.

Exactly. The way these people disrespect authority, I'm really amazed that it is that small.

People of all races, creeds and backgrounds disrespect authority.

The narratives you try to use for events are pathetic. Learn a thing or two about statistics. You can't cherry-pick data points when trying to claim a trend. That's like me gathering videos of 500 shots Michael Jordan missed and trying to claim he sucked at basketball. If you look at the demographics of arrests they have a breakdown similar to the demographics of the folks killed by police. Plenty of whites are killed by cops. However, the media knows I'm not going to throw a fit over a white idiot committing suicide by cop. As we see regularly nowadays, groups of blacks will throw up a storm and claim racism, even if the cop was black and the suspect was a legitimate threat. Furthermore, the media's strict focus on such shootings is the same cherry-picking I mentioned, all to give idiots the impression that blacks are the target of police. It's a shame the media is sick enough to be willing to incite riots to sell stories.
