[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]unfortunately, it seems like this conversation will never get anywhere. one side is not willing to concede that maybe, just maybe, the community has work to do just like the police do to improve things. so long as the "always a victim" mentality continues, things will never get better.

even when someone does something bad to you, there's almost always something you could've done differently or better. acknowledging that doesn't take away what the other person did, or make it ok.

flat out refusal to take any sort of personal responsibility stalls progress.[/quote]

This.

The other side has conceded and finds it horrifying that there are malicious cops out there.

But in this case? Michael Brown? Dillon Taylor? Etc. Seriously why can't the other side see that those men caused their own deaths. [/quote]
+1 It seems that if we, "the other side," say that the police need better training AND that black people also need to tske some degree of personal responsibility, all hell reigns down. It seems the only acceptable thing is to say that when there's a police encounter that doesn't end well, it's always the police's fault, 100% of the time! Until black people realize that maybe....just maybe....there are things they could do better, this situation will not improve.[/quote]
