Denver, a few days ago.
For those that think the cops are getting unfairly portrayed.
A few bad apples, a few bad orchards more like.


It’s very ironic. How the police are handling this has surpassed the actual initial murder that stated it all by a long way.
 
Im genuinely a bit surprised that the protests really haven't escalated from what I can tell.

It's so weird that the 2A people are just soooo silent on this. I mean, this literally was the intent of that. The police are defacto part of the state who is systematically assaulting protestors who are protected by the constitution. But just like when a black NRA member is shot and killed, you hear nothing from the fat little bitches..
this is a good point and one I've been struggling with.
I guess it just boils down to racism
 
I used to work with a 50 year old woman who used to slap mens asses every friggen day. It seemed to be her privilege that no one seem to confront her about it.

I've had my balls grabbed in a night club by two different women, total strangers. They thought that they had the privilege to just do this and I wouldn't care because I was a man. The found out that one of them did it all the time.

The fact is, everyone has privilege and everyone is a hypocrite.




Growing up in Huyton, I've been pulled over by the police many of times.

Beatings from the police was quite common in the 80's and 90's, I remember running from the police at 12. My mate got caught and beaten to a pulp. He said the copper put on leather gloves first and he was frightened for his life. He never spoke for months. It totally changed him.

My older brothers can tell worse stories with the police.



I've seen an advertisement that only BAME members apply. Never seen an advertisement for a job for only WHITE people apply.

I've been refused many jobs, if I was black I suppose I would have just blamed it on the colour of my skin.

It's very easy to get a victim mentality complex. It's very easy to blame your own problems on something else. It's very dangerous to tell somebody that every failure in their life is the colour of their skin. Not everything is racist. Not everyone is racist.

Identity politics does not unite people, it creates division.

Does the U.S.A look united right now?




Everyone has privilege, just different types of privilege.
