How NOT to get your ass kicked by the police

[fbwellman]

I haven't talked about it but my profile picture here is something that means very much to me. It was the number of one of my best friends brothers as he played college football at Pace University

 

You can read up on how he was killed and the various actions law enforcement took to smear what happened but I'll keep personal judgement out of it as I figure its best for people to see for themselves and develop an opinion on their own

 

Rest in Peace DanRoy Henry Jr.

The link is a compilation of articles on everything that happened from the killing at the hands of law enforcement up until now

[Madness]

I am sorry to hear about your friend.

 

Here is something I found to be very interesting. It does hit on affirmative action which is not why I link it. There is a part where he discusses how the way people treated him after he started posing as black. Suddenly shop owners he had known but no longer recognized him suddenly started accusing him of shoplifting. Police began taking undue interest in him pulling him over just to accuse him of having a car he shouldn't afford. Anyways, you should hear it in his own words.

Its pretty clear that you are not supposed to riot for what happened to mike brown and freddy gray in baltimore that resulted in death or the headline will say "thugs protesting in baltimore" yet when kentucky and ohio state got eliminated from the tournament there werent any "thugs" rioting

 

PS: fbwellman sorry about your friend, i think people are desensitized to these stories because it didnt happen to them. Thats a life that is no longer here. I dont get who would neg you about your post unless that person too has a mental sickness

It's pretty clear that if you are rioting in Ferguson or Baltimore (because you're racist and don't riot when white people get killed) then maybe you shouldn't start violence. In Ferguson black people robbed shops owned by black people. They act like thugs, they get called thugs.

 

Oh, what? Is the big problem that a very select few are thugs, while the rest are acting peacefully? Imagine that happened and you were being sterotyped as violent due to the actions of people around you. Good thing all those racist murderous cbomb white people werent around eh?

What I hear in his own words is that medical schools discriminate against Asians, Hispanic and white people in favour of black people. So we're focusing on the racism against black people in his comments and not the favouring and racial favouring?

Also, okay, it's bullshit that he got racially discriminated against. Stick a white kid in there dressed like Eminem or the dude from Malibu's Most Wanted. Guarantee they face the same problems. Sure, a black person isn't choosing to face these issues where as your clothing or actions are your choice, but should people change their appearance based on discrimination against it? Should a biker remove his tattoos and beard to rid himself of that stigma? No, people are like that. People have their own preconceived notions towards things. For example, look up any article about white people on BlackPlanet and read about how white people "Have nothing in common with them" "Have different priorities to them" "Dont understand discrimination".

It's just fucking annoying hearing about race all the fucking time. A mate of mine can't get into a nightclub easily because he has a massive scar on his head. Another mate can't get served because he looks too young and they don't believe his ID. These people didn't choose these afflictions, but is that REALLY a massive thing? No. They may not be in to cause trouble, or they may not be under 18, but if these bouncers have had bad experiences with them then what is so wrong about it?

The UK has bans on guns, because it isn't stupid. Anyone who feels people should have guns for "protection" and then wonders why there is so much gun violence is stupid as hell. Imagine allowing people to have a Nuke in their house for protection and then being pissed off when someone uses the Nuke. It's ridiculous. Guns don't kill people, people kill people....with guns.

 

 

 

Errrrrr, the UK became extremely strict on guns (handguns in particular) after the Dunblane school shooting (about 20 years ago). I own a shotgun, my father owns a shotgun and so does my brother, we all hunt. The conversation in the household at one point steered towards if there was a break in would we use the guns? No, not just simply because by the time we had went into the loft, unlocked the gun locker, assembled and loaded the gun and got down from the loft, i am fairly certain the guy would either of ran away or kicked the shite out of me. That isn't to say we don't have protection in the house in case of an intruder, my brother has a pool cue in his room and i have a set of golf clubs in my room. I am pretty safe in the knowledge that the chances of an armed man breaking into my house is very slim to none, at worst he will have a knife and against two people with a longer reached weapon, i think the gun would swiftly run away rather than take his chances.

 

America has a gun problem, most people will agree with that and sadly it will never change. America is far too far gone with a very large population and a hell of a lot of firearms, even after many school shootings the laws haven't changed, nor will they. It is the one thing the UK can be on its high horse about is the fact an incident like this happened and we put out a solution to fix it (which is the same with most things in the UK).

 

As far as the anarchist guy you debated against, yeah some of them have a romanticized view on the world (a minority of serious anarchists i might add). Most agree that there have to be some enforcement of common laws, and people who enforce them, however they do not believe in a horizontal power structure, which means these police officers would be accountable for their actions which is meant to happen now but it clearly does not. I just thought i should point that out, since i have debated with anarchist groups in the past and not over some random facebook post but highly educated people, some of whom held doctorates in political theory or political philosophy.

 

now you posted something which i think you should retract and very quickly

 

"It's just fucking annoying hearing about race all the fucking time. A mate of mine can't get into a nightclub easily because he has a massive scar on his head. Another mate can't get served because he looks too young and they don't believe his ID. These people didn't choose these afflictions, but is that REALLY a massive thing? No. They may not be in to cause trouble, or they may not be under 18, but if these bouncers have had bad experiences with them then what is so wrong about it?"

 

If you are going to compare police officers to club bouncers then please do not ever post again in any debate topic. I have pointed out in other debates with other people in my seminar group that criminals or those who look like criminals are the people who are discriminated against the most in society. This riled up a few feminists who believed it is females, or gay rights people who believe its gay people, but when i point out that being homosexual or a female doesn't stop you getting a job in Asda (Walmart for Americans) or McDonalds but being a former criminal does their argument tends to fade pretty rapidly. Now i hope Humors never reads this thread, but i am a big advocate that if i was to open a shop or business somewhere i would go out of my way to hire former criminals who had applied for the job. If i hired 10 of them, and 9 burned me, i would still continue to do it because i know at least i helped one person (the odds of that actually happening are slim that 9 people would burn you). Most guys i know who committed crimes and now are out cannot get a job, their benefits get cut, so they have to turn back to crime in order to put food on the table. It is a vicious cycle which until something is done about it, it won't stop.

[GeorgeWBush]

Why is there only black people in these riots?

[Madness]

One of the issues Dinooo brings up is how people with a criminal record are discriminated against in a way that almost forces them to fall back into crime. One thing I would add if how minorities are often given criminal records due to abusive cops wrongfully targeting them. As mentioned in the video as soon as be started pretending to be black police would not stop pulling him over or accusing him of crimes. Then we have judges basing punishment on a whim. Weed is a class 1 narcotic ( it should not be ), but amazingly white people tend to get a slap on the wrist while black people end up in jail. Some co-workers got busted for weed ( 2nd time ) and were back at work the next morning. Things magically end up looking different on your record based on how you look.

[clydebankblitz]

Police officers are glorified bouncers anyways. I'm not anti-police or anything but what's really the difference?

 

Madness, you're acting like areas like Compton, Watts and South Central (never ever once hav....no not now Drestah!) have low crime rates and it's only because of police that it's happening. You think these guys AREN'T in gangs? You're saying like "Police are corrupt...they arrest people for smoking weed".......THAT'S ILLEGAL! It doesn't matter if a white person goes off lighter, because you're putting it across like the police are being unfair to black people. If you're committing a crime and you get arrested, it's your fault. Sure, it's fairly bullshit if a person of a different race gets off for the same crime as you, but at the end of the day if you're not smoking weed in an area where that's illegal than 99/100 you're avoiding a problem relating to it.

 

This shit has nothing to do with race. One cop will let you drive on if they catch you without your belt on. The might next take your licence and ruin your life. The first cop is in the wrong lawfully (obviously to take your licence you need more offences).

 

Put it this way, you're going to sit there and talk about white people getting off for being white. What if a black person gets arrested and gets off the next day, and a white person doesn't get off. Is this a racial thing? Or does it get relegated to "just a random event"? A black police officer recently talked about how he finds white people disgusting and for years was deliberately harassing white "preppy types". You don't hear about this though, because it's not pop-culture which is all race has become. Al Sharpton isn't talking about white people dying. These rioters don't give a fuck about white people dying. They are doing this being they are racists.

 

A white person dies, a black person dies, I see those words as "a person dies". Race ISN'T a thing. Sure, some black people won't have everything in common with me, neither will some Polish guys, some Russians, some Brazilians. It's not a race thing, that's a cultural thing. We live in different places or enjoy different things. But you've got these people claiming every separation is a white and black thing. Some cops are cnts, sure. Some welfare officer workers are cnts. Some next door neighbours are cnts. The problem with cops is the cnts who get in also have authority. Some of them might be racist. Some of them might be black. Some of them might hate gays. Some of them might be gay. It's just people with an occupation. You, criminal record barring, could be a police officer in a few years. We act like they are these different human beings from us. None of this shit is racial.

Good read.

[GeorgeWBush]

Another black man arrested today in Baltimore riots for no reason by white cops using uncalled violence. You can clearly see on the video the man is saying it wasn't him but cops still drag him down and search him just because he is black. People need to stand up and fight police because this racial profiling is getting out of the hand.

I got pulled over once and accused of doing something I didn't do. I'm not black. HOW CAN THIS BE???

 

 

 

 

(Because shit like that happens).

[The1rstSaint]

 

Sure I may draw some hate hopefully not bit here you go

 

Since George W goats nothing but some videos like Doc Who.

 

I will leave you with a video myself the way I feel on the subject ,word by word coming out of a black mans mouth. A black man who gets it in my opinion.

And with this I suck to hell with social media when it comes to racial BS.

That will be more of an American thing about race, McG makes a good point about it being a cultural thing and not a race thing. In Scotland we do not have a major black community by any means, i couldn't really say without looking at the statistics but i'd suggest at least 90% of Scotland are made up of white British people. In Scotland it is a class thing, not a race thing and i would argue it is the same in America. Social class is a big deal, you take a guy from Easterhouse (one of glasgows worst areas to live, i think the average life expectancy is under 60, these people are more likely to be pulled over by the police than those from areas such as Lenzie (a more affluent area). This comes from the way we dress, i have done tests myself since i can go from one extreme to the other when dressed and i live in a good area. Whenever i go into Glasgow dressed in a suit, or even a shirt and trousers i have never, ever been pulled over by the police. If i dress in tracksuit bottoms and an American football top, i get pulled up by the police whenever they see me, legitimately every single fucking time. I have never been in any trouble since i am not doing anything wrong and i do know the law, i always take their names and badge numbers the second they pull me up, before they even get my name.

 

Now lets say i am a guy who smokes a little weed, and is coming home after going and picking up the weed. The more times i get stopped by the police, the bigger the chances are that i will get caught eventually. That is just a pure numbers game but it is true, and this comes about because of stereotyping that just because i am wearing tracksuit bottoms and an American Football top i am instantly from a poor area, despite the fact at the time i earned more than most of the police officers that pulled me over. One time i did get a little cheeky with a police officer when he pulled me over and i had a few thousand pounds in my wallet (i had good day at the casino they day prior and was heading to the bank). The officer said how did i get the money and i said it grows on trees (i was factually correct since its paper), he tried to take the money but fortunately for me when he was raiding my bag he seen that i had a suit in there and i was free to go (He managed to put 2+2 together when i first told him about the casino story he asked how i really got the money hence the cheeky comment). If i didn't have the suit chances are i wouldn't have seen that money again.

 

So yeah it is why McG is prolly frustrated that it is about race, when in the UK it is about social class.

[clydebankblitz]

I FULLY understand that it's not about race with us (Arab excluded), but people seem to think that it's not comparable. Class discrimination, profiling due to your appearance and address, insults, police brutality. That stuff happens in places like Easterhouse as you said (Outside of Whitecrook, Clydebank isn't the worst in the world). It's that people are holding race to be this biggest thing in the world. It's the exact same thing, but one is held to this huge massive stigma and the other is not.

 

I've said a million times, race might be a hurdle, like class can be too, but it's NEVER a limitation. Being from Glasgow, my career trajectory is sitting on Jeremy Kyle's couch, but that would be my own unintelligable decision. If you're from the New York projects, joining a gang, selling drugs and all general criminal activity is a choice. How many of those guys have harnessed their education, sports or music instead of going down that road and been highly successful? Race is never a limitation.

Meh, Lenzie has a strong Asian population and the amount of Asian people going to private schools such as the high school Glasgow quite good. It is why i do not get the whole immigrant argument going on in our country right now.

 

Just to counter your class isn't a limitation thing? Out of 20 people in my primary school which was one of the worst, i am the only person attending university. Out of 9 males, 5 of them are in jail or have been in jail for drug or violence charges, the other 3 had at least 2 kids that i knew of to different women. The girls in the class, the highest up the pecking order is two hairdressers (nothing at all against hairdressers), the rest are single mothers with one or more children. You cannot say that it is the individuals fault, you can perhaps blame the parents but how can you blame them when they knew nothing better either? Now the thing is i attended one of the best public high schools in Glasgow, so i missed all the shit that goes on in high school, the rest of them went to one of the worst. These people aren't given the same chance i did, with two working parents, shit most of my class was filled with single parents in primary, or their parents separated by the time they reached primary seven.

 

So your argument that it isn't a limitation is very very very weak, and i mean it is non-existent. If you are trying to tell me that a kid raised in Easterhouse by a single mother, who attends one of the worst primary and high schools in the UK has the same chance as a guy who is brought up in London with both parents and goes to Eton, then you really need to look further into the statistics which pretty easy to find. If you do not mind me asking, what exactly is it you are doing right now whether it be education or job?

 

Added point, you are comparing Scotland which has 6 million people to america who prolly has 100 times the population. While i agree about the class issue, their stigma might be more centered towards skin color than the clothes they wear.

They have more hurdles ahead of them, they have the same potential. Especially now, this is 2015 with free software and tutorials for people to learn from.

 

But even then, everyone can get anywhere. You're telling me that a kid with a single parent from Easterhouse has more limitations? This is an MMA forum man. MMA is a sport known for having Brazilians from the absolute scum of Rio putting their all into their craft to achieve their dreams. Were these guys born with the same goals as someone with a silverspoon? Nope, but they have the desire and drive to get there.

 

It's an excuse people use. At 16 years old, I'd been smoking weed for 7 years. I got fairly abysmal results in school and really didn't give a shit about any of it. Now long ago I was 3 years into being on the dole. Teachers predicted my best hope was working in McDonalds or some shit. Really, all that was expected was for me to drink every day, smoke weed every day (sup Nate) and stay on the dole. Anyone can go out there and do the shit. Things are in place for us to achieve what we want. I took a few courses, got high enough level skills with computers, have now finished 2/6 years of college getting full distinctions to date so far, and most of all I haven't smoked weed or fags since I was about 17.

 

Class, race, everythings an excuse. Dudes without legs climb Everest, you're telling me Wee Tam fae the Gorbals cannae get a job?

Wee Tam won't get a job with that criminal record he has, which coming from the Gorbals is more than likely, either that or a serious addiction problem.

 

Right, you are all over the place, so clearly debating isn't a strong point. How many kids live in the Favela's in Rio, and then count how many have made it; i will put more money on that more die in a week than have made it out of the gutter. I was also talking about education, i believe being tough is something that is needed to be a mixed martial arts fighter and those kids will be as tough as coffin nails.

 

Next up on the list of stuff you have said that doesn't make much sense to me is that you are talking about computers and tutorials, as if Wee Tams heroin addicted mum can afford to buy him a laptop, the boy is lucky to get his brothers hand me down school uniform. Wee Tam is lucky to get a pound for a bag of chips for his dinner and you are talking about a computer with internet access? Damn.

 

We are discussing limitations, the more hurdles you put in front of someone is more limitations because they need to jump those hurdles while others do not. This isn't a discussion about potential, because everyone has the potential to do whatever they want; good or bad. The fact is the bottle neck is very slim for those to get out into the middle class.

 

Next on the list of things you shouldn't have said, we are discussing about social class and you bring in a physical disability, c'mon man. Can't you see how you are taking your argument anywhere you see an opening. Take a sociology class or something while you are in college for the next four years. Also a 6 year computer course? I have never heard of that unless its part time or some shit, i thought it was 4 years for an honors degree then one year for the masters. Just because you somehow made to to further education, you still have to find a job then work your way up, perhaps then when you go up against someone with a degree from a more prestigious university you will see what i am saying.

Since George W goats nothing but some videos like Doc Who.

 

 

 

What what what?

[The1rstSaint]

What what what?

You will have to excuse my poor grammer I am using my cell phone and it is worthless POS. I was stating since you and this newbie George W Bush like to continue bringing up all these dumb ass videos as some sort of investigation your taking on. When in reality your just adding to a shit flame that is currently tearing this country apart. I figured I would share my thoughts threw a Blackman just to avoid being called a racist Hillbilly.

 

George W's videos are obviously on the other side of the spectrum as Doctor Who's but both are pretty annoying. Frankly just stop your both part of the problem I think you guys get up each morning just to see what dumb BS you can watch and bring to the this forum well the is mostly pointed towards Doctor Who.

 

As for George W I hate to do it but Are you Humors?

Drug use and a criminal record is a choice. And beyond that, how many have succeeded beyond it? It takes a lot of drive and determination, but if you're content to go down that road then it's a concious decision that you will be making.

 

More die than make it out of the gutter. So go and talk to the ones who made it and ask them why. Were they lucky? I'd say watching your friends and family die is far from lucky. They took their situation and changed it. It's because of THEM that they got to where they did.

 

Even in Easterhouse nearly every cnt has a laptop. You can sit down outside a library and knock it's wifi if you want as well. You're talking about Tam's heroin addicted mum now, so Tam's back to being younger again without criminal convictions. Therefore, he's more than able to get a job in Safeway or pick up a training course when school finishes.

 

A hurdle isn't a limitation, it's an obstacle. Some fighter might have to fight all the best in the world to get to the title, some have an easy run, but if anything obstacles only make you stronger. It's slim because people don't want to apply themselves. They want to hide behind their bullshit excuses and do fuck all with themselves while sitting on the dole. They know their situation but don't want to improve it.

 

We're talking about limitations. If a guy who doesn't even have any legs can scale the biggest mountain in the world, then someone can kick their addiction. There's people out there doing incredible things, with their bodies, minds, whatever that are astounding, so is it really that hard to apply yourself to smaller goals? You're gonna stand in front of this disabled dude and tell him you CANT? You CANT do this or that because your mum drank too much? You CANT do this or that because you dont have enough money or experience, or because you went to jail? This dudes gonna burst out laughing in your face, because he's been told he CANT for so long yet he's doing shit that perfectly fine people dream of doing.

 

In Ireland, your Leaving Cert is like your 0 levels. It's Level 5. I did Level 5 in first year in what's called a "Post Leaving Cert" course in Games Design. I moved into Level 6 in Games Development. Really, I would be permitted to jump into 3rd year of the next college but I want to go for the full 4. I might actually switch into something like advanced mathematics for computing or something after it though so it'd be around 6 years straight from Level 7 which is your standard IT level.

 

Being in Games Development, your abilities and portfolio is going to supersede the University strength, but even at that if you're doing something where someone is from a bigger college, train more. Get more experience. You can't get experience? Tell them you'll work for free. Work WAY below your pay grade if you need somehow to paid the rent. Get two jobs if you need to. For the record, I don't class success in life as in how much you earn or what job you have. I would consider success as how much you can give back to society, and it's a hell of a lot more working your way up the ladder than it is smoking weed every day.

 

I'd absolutely LOVE for someone like you to talk to this Jobs Club woman I had to deal with. For no reason at all, the dole put me on a course I had no use for. I was 18 at the time, fresh out of college, and this was an employment course full of older guys who need to reskill or something. But man, you should have heard her shoot down an entire room of people in seconds. "Why can't you get a job?" "I don't have the training" "Get the training. Boom here's a list of programmes that will pay for your training will you can still claim, NEXT". "I don't have any experience" "Offer to work for free. If you say ___ to the welfare office they will permit you to go on unpaid work experience and still pay your claim, NEXT". I didn't matter if you have a criminal record, an old addiction, are young or old, you don't have excuses.

 

Barring supernatural stuff, there's nothing you can't do if you really want to focus on it. Sure I want loads of things but I don't apply myself to achieving them. But I'm never going to use the money my parents make (too much, which in Ireland's insane economy essentially is a GIGANTIC hindrance to college education) as an excuse for something I want to do. For example, I'm struggling to find any possible way I can pay for college next year. I don't get enough on the small grant I get to cover the rent, let alone the fees. So I can say "That's it. Guess it's saying with the folks for me", or I can get a job after college in Dunnes or something. They pay serious money to people showing Germans around the city, if I wanted I could take a free course in German and learn the buzz words I'd need to take them. Anyone can overcome any of the bollocks you're acting like holds them back. They just need to be arsed to do it.

You will have to excuse my poor grammer I am using my cell phone and it is worthless POS. I was stating since you and this newbie George W Bush like to continue bringing up all these dumb ass videos as some sort of investigation your taking on. When in reality your just adding to a shit flame that is currently tearing this country apart. I figured I would share my thoughts threw a Blackman just to avoid being called a racist Hillbilly.

 

George W's videos are obviously on the other side of the spectrum as Doctor Who's but both are pretty annoying. Frankly just stop your both part of the problem I think you guys get up each morning just to see what dumb BS you can watch and bring to the this forum well the is mostly pointed towards Doctor Who.

 

As for George W I hate to do it but Are you Humors?

 

hence why i ignored the shit, at least in this forum for every fucknut you get, you tend to get 10 decent people.
