[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what has to happen, PPs, for you to agree that there is a problem of police brutality perpetrated against people of color in this country?

It sounds like what you guys are in search of is the "perfect victim." I don't know how you expect that to happen, because the police are not going to show up unless someone in the immediate area is perceived to be breaking the law.

Expect more of your public servants. The idea that a teenager being kicked out of a party has a larger responsibility to behave appropriately and with respect than does a sworn officer of the law is offensive. You PPs' attempts to absolve the officer of guilt in this situation are offensive.[/quote]

I'm not absolving this officer of guilt. Clearly he needs a different career. 
I'm also not absolving the teens of guilt for trespassing or alleviating their parents of their responsibility to raise respectful citizens.

I see 50+ kids crashing a party they weren't invited to. 
I see no parents making an effort to know what their children were doing. I know what my kids post on the internet because i make it a point to. If nothing else, for their own safety. And when they say "I'm going here" I pick up the phone and verify that they are in fact going where they say they are.

But that is not the story. A black teenager who lives in the neighborhood was the one holding the party. She and her guests had every right to be there - but the white neighbors at the pool didn't want them there and starting hurling racial comments. If the kids were acting up why didn't the white parents go talk to the mother -= who was also present and the host of the party? You all just want to keep the negative narrative about black teens going. SMH

+1000.

But let's ignore all this, and scream racism instead. Much more fun![/quote]

I guess you agree, but the PP does say that the officer was at least partially at fault - are you co-signing that as well?

I am not absolving SOME of the teens.  Not all them were trespassing and acting up.  And multiple witnesses said that the White adult initiated the physical altercation.  So, some teens should not have crashed the party but it does not mean that the adults should not act like adults. [/quote][/quote][/quote]
