'Bronx Brewery' creates 'Defund The Police' beer

[Cecilie1200]

I have been followed by police, detained by police, beaten by police, my mom dated a state cop and he used to beat on me, profiled and arrested by police. I have never ever actually needed a cop for any reason.

And your point is?

 

[Hellbilly]

And your point is?

My point is made.

 

[Cecilie1200]

My point is made.

Obviously not, or I wouldn't be asking.

Obviously not, or I wouldn't be asking.

That's fair, just don't expect any help from the Cops.

[Cecilie1200]

Okay, and who said this was about you personally?

Not that I will ever be stepping foot in NYC again anyway, but if I somehow lost my sanity and decided to visit the shithole, this place I'll be avoiding.

I love when people like this talk about "starting a conversation" but actually mean listen to my viewpoint and comply or else.

I've had a few of their beers, not anymore.

I am the only one I should speak for.
i've never had a good experience with them.
They could break up the police and it wouldn't bother me a bit.

Well, then, screw the other 300 million people who live in this country, as long as YOU aren't bothered.

Do you really think they would listen to one mans opinion?
I do not.
Have no fear. They will not eliminate the police simply because I wish it.

Do you really think this is about expecting you to personally address the entire nation and change their minds?

This is a discussion about public policy. It's not about your personal fucking anecdotes about your personal fucked-up family history.

This sort of narcissistic navel-gazing attitude is EXACTLY what is wrong with this country today. Far too many people today are all about "Well, I have THIS childhood trauma, so I think the ideal world is one that caters to my inner moppet."

Everyone votes in their own self interest. People voted for Trump because they thought he would do things that benefitted them, not the country as a whole. That is why the country is more divided now than it has ever been. Fuck the democrats! Fuck black people! They're thugs! Fuck gay people! They're sexual deviants. That's all Republicans have. WHITE/MALE/HETEROSEXUAL. Everyone else can go fuck themselves. Well I got news for you sister, times are changing. the days when you people can do whatever you fucking want is coming to an end.
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

Oh, so only Caucasian people get to be pale now? You racist!

I am sorry to hear you have a history like that with Police. That doesn't mean all Cops are bad. It means some of the bad ones sought you out because of your skin color. That's wrong and hopefully with Police Reform there will be new guidelines on random stops. I have several friends who have all told me they have been randomly stopped, some of them many times.

I never said all cops are bad. I'm sure there are some good ones. I've never met one.
Law enforcement is one of those professions where bad ones can not be tolerated.
When you have bad cops people are needlessly murdered.
It has to end.

That is more of a function of the Police Union than all of law enforcement. Unions in general protect poor performers whether it's the Police Union, the Teacher's Union or the Teamster's Union.

Hard to believe you've had many encounters with police, and not a single one is a "good" one.

Probably this is much more about you than them.

Black men and boys are 2.5 times more likely to be killed in an encounter with the police than white men and boys.

And they're 3 times more likely to be in an encounter with the police.

Well, they just don't acknowledge their crimes as crimes, but as a survival necessity.

For them, the "crime" is a racist concept as it is based on the "white" concept of "law and order", which for them is simply unacceptable.
