Nothing wrong with a black person having money or even attempting to speak out for something.

not at all. but perhaps some people who have more credibility and/or pull should contribute. there's a lot of silence all around

The problem with your comparison is that police officers are supposed to deal with and treat everyone the same, regardless of skin color, hair style or style of dress.
Police officers have the ability to **** up your life from a legal aspect based solely on their biases, regardless of where they originated from (racism or on-the-job experiences).
That isn't okay. If you aren't able to tuck those biases away and approach every civilian you interact with as a PERSON and not a past experience (which really just means stereotype), you shouldn't be a cop.
I'm not going to say that cops have an easy job. They clearly don't. And yes, I know that they're human and we all have our personal biases. But again, they're supposed to be professionals who "protect and serve" the citizens of our country in a fair and just manner. Treating someone a certain way because your past interactions with someone you perceive as being similar is NOT being fair and just. You've already pre-judged them as being a certain type of way. And ultimately, I think THAT is what the main issue is in Ferguson. People are tired of being perceived as a threat simply for being black.

I hear ya and I completely understand where and others are coming from on the matter. However, as long as Nelly or Benzino aren't taking cameras from their individual TV shows out there for personal publicity then I don't think anyone is in a position to really knock what they are attempting to do. I always believe that something is better than nothing.

it certainly wouldn't hurt if more people in his position voiced their opinions on the matterLebron James?
just cause you're rich and privileged and/or a celebrity doesn't mean you don't have a grasp on issues like this. just voice it in the right way so as to not draw criticism from people who are willing to discredit/dismiss you for those reasons alone
like for instance don't post a selfie like benzino did as if you're some superhero about to save the day because it comes off as grandstanding

This is so stupid. The protests during the day have been peaceful and positive. Full of love and support. Night time is when he'll breaks loose, and thus far it happens right street police start tripping EVERY night.
And you saying that people's rights bring infringed is bs shows you either haven't been watching but wanna pretend like you were to throw out your opinion, or you don't even know your rights. Walking down your own residential street isn't a crime either.
Glad you're out tho. Go back to whatever made up world you live in lol

we should all treat people the same
all im saying is we regularly assume **** about people and size them up....
so if the people you're supposed to protect and serve are already feeling some type of way about you, it's not hard for me to believe that this makes them feel some kind of way in return...
that's all... not excusing them and im aware that police should be held to a higher standard given their power

whether it's true or not i don't know, but i read on grasswire, i believe, that this police dept has/had a bunch of dash cams that were never installed for whatever reason
it should be a requirement of all police depts at the very least, if not, in addition, having police officers wear cameras on their uniforms. i'm sure the more crooked elements in police depts will figure out a way around that, but as the stakes get higher, police should have to adhere to stricter conduct & ethical rules. they're completely unaccountable and should be held to higher standards and codes than ordinary civilians. it's tiring how much cops can get away with

Interesting article by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Good read.

They will ALWAYS feel some type of way. Usually their very presence serves to make matters much worse.
You should not become a cop if you cannot handle the stress that comes along with it. That's just one of the major problems were having now.

Cops dont "protect and serve" in the hood fam.

Agreed.
To add on about cops getting around it, I posted a story of a shooting down in NO where the cop turned off their camera prior to shooting guy, once in the head.
It would be best served if it was possible they could not control whether or not the camera is recording during their shift

that's my point... you're putting ALL cops from ALL hoods in a bucket
it's not cool to do that... there are far more good cops than their are bad ones ... the good ones get no recognition and the bad ones make the headlines -- America don't care about good ****... we want to argue and be divided on the bad ... that's what sells and draws attention
I mentioned your last comment in a post last week --- the process to become a cop is flawed...
the department is basically just looking for warm bodies to patrol the streets because it's not a desirable job....it's dangerous, the pay isn't great, etc etc
so ppl are being put into these positions that are not ready and/or are not equipped to be what they should be
it's also full of people that join for the wrong reason.... they just want to legally kick someone's *** and be "the boss"
