New Orleans police officer suspended for Internet post about Trayvon Martin(edited)

Re: Act like a thug die like one!

Well, he might not be a thug, but he's wearing a thug costume.

What... is a thug costume?
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

Most definitely. :)

Fine. But he's Canadian. They're polite thugs. They apologize while they rob you.
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

Any attire commonly associated with thuggery.

Such as? Show us what he was wearing that was so "thuggish".
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

And I'm straight but I like rainbows, yet if I put one on my bumper people will still assume I'm gay.

See how that works?

Actually...that's a damn good point. Which makes us all...what? Flawed in some way with our perception?
Still, even if the kid had a hoodie on, was walking a street at night, in a gated community on the sidewalk....common sense should make the brain click that this is exactly that..a kid walking on a street in a gated community. Not hiding. Not skulking. Not running from car to car and ducking. Does he deserve to be approached by a guy with a gun?
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

Yeah... but not really...it comes with an attitude that is many times a front.
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

I wear hoodies on occasion :shrug: It isn't "thug."
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

Firefight???
Give me whatever you're having cuz I didn't see one in this thread.:lamo

Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Who the ****'s on first??
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

Is wearing a jersey an "athlete's costume?" Should people automatically assume I'm an athlete?
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

I'll be 60 soon. My jacket has a hoodie. LOOK OUT! GRANNY IS A'COMIN'! SHOOT HER, THAT THUGGY OLD HAG!!:lamo

They'd probably assume you're Jeremy Lin. BAZINGA!

Hell, I dunno! Don't bogart your wine...."Just pass it on over, my friend".
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

Guys... I just ate a plate of lasagna while wearing a wife beater. Are y'all gone assume I'm Italian?
 
Re: Act like a thug die like one!

I didn't see the guy.

But the point is that if anyone projects a particular image, they shouldn't be surprised when that image is exactly what is perceived. I'm pretty sure I plagiarized the costume comment from Kat Williams who said in one of his stand-up routines talking about women dressed like ho's: You might not be a ho, but you're wearing a ho's uniform. As far as hoodies go, that fact that you and Justin Beiber like to wear them doesn't change the fact that they've been adopted as part of the gangsta look.

Only to tunnel visioned people.

That was Dave Chappelle.

As for the "gangsta look." Just because a group of thugs like to wear hoodies does not mean it is makes sense to perceive everyone who wears a hoodie as a thug.

Of course you didn't. Maybe that's why you've been ridiculed so thoroughly even by the people who have defended Zimmerman's actions.

Thug is also subjective. To some this is "thug"

To others this is "thug"

Right, because the image a person projects should never be taken seriously.

Wow, it's pretty easy to win an argument when you get to put words in the other person's mouth.

Where I come from they call that a strawman fail.

Better luck next time.
