Everyone knows the police treat young black men differently. Are New York's finest really so thin-skinned that their boss giving citizens some straightforward sympathy must be cause for protest?
And I'm sure this is in no way influenced by the ongoing contract negotiations between City Hall and the police union...
everyone knows that black men commit almost all the crime. Are liberal white panzies and black racists really so thin-skinned that they give props tio the criminals who show no respect for law and order and life?
And I'm sure this is in no way influenced by Al, Jesse and Barack.
Was Eric Garner committing a crime? Was John Crawford III?
The truth is black men do not enjoy the benefit of the doubt with a police that is likely to apply lethal force immediately. And forgetting this for even a moment can have serious consequences for them.
Again, this is a completely obvious reality. Throwing a department-wide temper tantrum because someone in authority observed it isn't asking for respect, it's demanding unquestioning reverence.
I have to wonder if the reaction wouldn't be more reasonable if the police union wasn't seeking leverage in its contract negotiations...
