50% of baltimore police is black, so how could it be racist? Blacks being racist against black? Weird. Anyway, riots are fun, especially when Tupac Shakur participates.

Lol what are the chances that your child becomes Hitler? If it it hard life does not mean that it becomes bang, normative life can also be screwed, and there are many high-class morons, who sucks because he chose to be a jerk, (I'm not talking about autism) no matter what, being in his life.
And I think that abortion is problematic when the fetus becomes a baby, except that if you can not raise a baby then do not do a baby

All police officers, black or white, can unknowingly harbor biases that can result in them treating black suspects worse than white ones (as a result of their subconscious perceiving a black suspect as more dangerous). Officers are trained to overcome the biases, and the training helps, but it can still surface in the heat of the moment when emotion overcomes objectivity.

Racial bias may have been in play for this situation, and it may not have. It's impossible to know for sure. Regardless, what those police officers did was excessively brutal and unwarranted.

You're right, but that's no reason to say against the entire police force, blaming the police, should put in jail the cops known to have murder because of race, same thing with a black cop murder, a white man because of the color of skin, people of baltimore I guess did not actually demonstrate because the police they just want financial help from the government.

Peaceful protests were completely justified, the rioting and looting were not. It's very wrong to take out your anger against an innocent officer (or innocent locals) for the crime of a few guilty officers.

What? I understood only the first sentence in which I just said that I was using a hyprebole - a serial killer or gangster is much more likely, obviously.

I think these riots have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with racist police and are simply about the economic uncertainty faced by the working class.[\quote]

Agreed.

Accept that your ignoring the fact that blacks do statistically commit more crimes.



ALSO, IN BALTIMORE, THE 3 COPS ARRESTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER WERE BLACK. This is not AT ALL about RACE. It's about general police brutality.

I'm not. There is a tendency to perceive a black suspect behaving in the exact same manner as a white suspect as being more dangerous. Even when a group of citizens commits more crimes, it doesn't justify treating individuals in that group worse for the same crime. I want to emphasize that I'm not blaming police for the bias. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is what it is, and even though there is a reason for it, efforts should be made to combat it so that people are treated as equally as possible.

Police brutality is unquestionably the major issue in this case.

My goal in posting is to help people realize that, even though things are MUCH better than they used to be, black people in the US are still often judged and treated worse because they are black, due to implicit bias.

It's not implied. It's there, and it's there for a reason.

Honestly, if you truly want to correct the problem, don't go to the police. You can't convince them to stop treating blacks as equally likely suspects as whites, because blacks do commit more crimes.

Instead, try to correct black neighborhoods, and destroy black gang culture (which frankly, is highly encouraged).

Black "gang culture" is the root of the problem.

Because honestly, neonazis and mexican gangs aren't providing any issues to the community.

they are.

but lets face it, black gang culture is much more serious than latino gang culture and neonazis.

Sure, the Oklahoma City Bombing done by some neo-nazis was bad. But black gang culture causes massive nationwide problems.

And that is why no one looks at you for a mature opinion. That right there, was a very racist remark.

How is acknowledging issues of African American gang violence racist? That's like saying that opposing Terrorism makes you anti-Muslim.

He is specifically saying that is is black culture that is a far bigger problem than south american/central american and even neonazi gangs. Basically, blacks are worse than anyone

I think what he was trying to say is that black gangs are more widespread and statistically causing more problems than gangs of other ethnicity. Similar to the sense that Islamic terrorism is currently more significant then terrorism of any other group.
