Hey, we all know that JSF is a Raptard sock puppet, (And, baby, if I can see it and say it, the evidence is overwhelming.) but I'm starting to think that Thug here is one also. He's got the same style of argument.

Frem,

once again, examples from your experience that lead to a sensible conclusion.
And thanks for the link to NoNonsenseSelfDefense. The Not-To-Do list from the guy (Peyton, I guess his name is.) boils it down to less than a Miranda Rights card. Cops should post it in their cars and have it just as available, to remind themselves to watch their behavior. It's worth quoting :

Quote:



1) Don't Insult Him
2) Don't Challenge Him
3) Don't Threaten Him
4) Don't Deny It's Happening
5) Give Him A Face Saving Exit (1)



If the cop in Ferguson had just rolled up beside those 2 blacks and said, "Hey, guys, for your own safety, I don't think you should walk down the middle of the street. Why don'tcha just go over there and walk on the sidewalk?"; maybe nothing would have happened.

Maybe you're not Raptard's sock puppet. Maybe you're just the ghost of Ross Perot.

'Member when he was running for President? He went to the NAACP Convention to make a speech about race relations and race problems. And he said something, widely quoted, along the lines of, " You people have to solve your own problems." Stuck the knife in his own campaign right there. Everybody jumped on him. "You people", suggesting that "I sure as Hell ain't like you." and "gotta solve your own problem." Because I sure ain't gonna help. Which was the entire point of his campaign-- I got mine, lots of mine, and I ain't gonna help nobody else, not with nothin'.

But you sure don't go into their house, to publicly make nice; try to build your credentials; and ask for their support, and then say something like that.

Ross was addressing a group, a specific group, who had invited him to speak. " You people " was a phony issue, fabricated by those who simply wanted to trash and old white guy who spoke w/ a Texas accent. Nothing more.

And when a group votes damn near uniformly ( 90% + ) the same way, and have problems which seemingly never go away, one might come to the conclusion that they could do more to help themselves.

If Louis Farrakhan and Bill Cosby can both honestly point out that the black community needs to do better FOR THEMSELVES , instead of looking to Big Govt for help, and Ross Perot can't say the same thing w/ out being called 'racist', then you have a great problem of being disingenuous.

So 1kiki I see by your post you suggest this happens in Hispanic, Asian, White and poor American Indian neighborhoods as well. That’s a start. I see you agree with me this is not happening because they are black, as they always claim. Now you need to recognize that behavior plays a major role in this always happening. Sometimes it is a bad cop, but more times than not it is the dysfunction of the community that creates an atmosphere that boils over on occasion. If you do not believe the mental health in these communities’ function on a dysfunctional level, then you have no experience in how things are on the street.

First you need to get off the spook hiding in the bushes shit. I am nobody's sock puppet. Last time I will have this conversation with you. As far as Ross goes I don't know if I would go as far as he, but he to realized the problem comes from within the community.

What is it you people believe? Do you think all the cops get out of bed each day and head out to try and disrupt the lives of others. All they want to do is make it through the day in one piece.

How does racial make up have anything remotely to do with a group which anyone can join?

And what ' problems ' do the NRA have , other than standing up for the 2nd Amendment ?

WOW. Complete and total comparison fail.
