[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.

[b]I see 50+ kids crashing a party they weren't invited to[/b]. 
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.

How do you know which kids were invited?  Many of the kids invited were Black, and some of the Black, invited teens were handcuffed.  Also, some of the crashers were White.

So you saw 50+ kids who were Black and assumed they are all crashers.  You made an assumption about children solely based on the color of their skin.  I.E. you are prejudiced.

And swearing that you "know what your kids are doing" is just like the shipbuilders calling the Titanic unsinkable.  One of these days, those kids of yours will surprise you and make you eat your arrogant words.[/quote]

Wait... show me in the PP where I said I saw 50 [u]Black[/u] kids? I said nothing of the such. I said I saw 50 KIDS (50 perhaps being the only exaggeration there since I admit I didn't count). This is you escalating a situation by jumping to conclusions and making assumptions. The very same thing you're wanting to torch this police officer for doing. If you want justice, consider taking a higher road. You're not going to win support by being belligerent, obtuse, or accusing people of being prejudice when they said nothing of the sort.

No one knew which kids were invited or uninvited [u]specifically[/u] because instead of cooperating with the authority of the law they mouthed off and made the job of every one of those police officers harder than it needed to be.

Be it arrogant or not, but if I'm going to be held legally accountable for the shit my kids do, I'm going to know about it. That's called parenting, and while it may not be right for every family, it's right for me. When your kids realize early on they can't get away with things, they stop pulling it. You're right though. My DD was offered a full ride academic scholarship. I sure was shocked!

+1. What you say is right, and obviously so.

But some PPs are in love with scum--probably because it is their own. [/quote]
