Pretty much a F-U to racists. He's going pretty hard on the topic. Hope it doesn't hurt him career wise with the current trash cancel culture we have going on.

I don't think even cancel-culture can crush someone whose message is "F-U racists". I doubt many people who would hire John Boyega are concerned about any backlash from people who are against such a message.

‘How long before we strike back?’: Ice Cube reacts to death of unarmed black man following arrest in Minneapolis
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/ice-cube-minneapolis-george-floyd-death-police-kneel-neck-arrest-a9534131.html
Yesterday I felt like there were odds that cop doesn't make it to court or potentially through the weekend...
I am also surprised we haven't talked about this insane case
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Breonna+Taylor+and+Kenneth+Walker
^*my terrible question for this case..
Boyfriend was a African American with a legit CC permit
What if he was trained so well he killed all three intruders?
"Good shoot" ? Isn't that their terminology?
What we need to do is remove or reduce the Fraternity.... They are Public Servants/"Peace Officers"... Reduce their "Force" hours and make them walk the streets and get to know the citizens. They see toooo much US vs Them! We are supposed to be the same. These guys drink too much just like the people they arrest but they see "Other" because we allow them to have some sort of "Fraternity" inside our communities that does not see us as them. |

I have to tell my truth, Contagious. I think not being super supercilious about leash laws in Central Park clearly means that one has to then support racist extrajudicial murders. There's no daylight between those two positions.

Cut the crap.
You condemn citizens for not minding their own business when it comes to inconsiderate people spoiling things for others. Yet you advocate that LE should be banned so that citizens can police themselves.
The reference to the Aubrey case has nothing to do with advocacy for LE and everything to do with the perils of vigilante justice and you know that.
I get that you think you're being clever, and I hope you are enjoying yourself, but it's just douchebaggery none the less.

True, but there's a stupefying level of idiocy in attempting to claim that people should mind their own business about others violating the law in public while advocating that Police Departments be abolished so that the citizenry can police themselves.

You like the police and you like policing others' behavior. That's okay, it makes sense for you.

We--"non-whites"--are the global majority. However, the US is an ethnic/racial anomaly...and a "white"/racist country, historically speaking.
I learned, a long time ago, not to fight or run away from the police. I say this a non-white male, whose been arrested 11 times during his 49 years on this planet. |

Is this wrong of me to say
AS MANY AS POSSIBLE>>Police Unions or Individual Police Captains need to come out and distance themselves from this officer and condemn his behavior...
sadly he could blame that (bleep) on a insulin deficiency and get off with desk work...
Any cop that stays quiet is a cop who is afraid to do the right thing..
Hopefully it makes front cover of Time and a few others so it makes it harder for the Feds to sweep under the rug |

Talk about power trippin. He was handcuffed, on the ground, and complying with authority.
What was cop's logic? Are they trained to do this? I'm not against cops. I have friends and family who are cops.
Also, I hope no senseless rioting occurs because of this. Two wrongs don't make a right. |

BVH has no desire to have an actual discussion of substance.

A pattern that is common to most of the officers involved in these unjustified killings. It goes back to the lack of accountability I mentioned at the start of the thread. And that lack of accountability leads to an escalation of the behavior. A cop gets away with being too rough with a suspect several times, and he realizes there ill be no repercussions for the actions. He realizes that the system doesn't care about the abuses, so the abuses become more bold and more deadly.
