Why the police are angry with the Mayor of New York

[Lonestar_logic]

Blacks seem to think they are being singled out unfairly, I disagree. The truth is blacks account for more crime per capita than any other race in America. So it only stand to reason they would be under more scrutiny. Blacks need to start cleaning up their act and the problem of being "unfairly" targeted will fade away.

But we all know that's not going to happen anytime soon, if ever.

LMAO!! Ok, if blacks just become perfect then they wont be targeted! But until then continue to target them and their community will get better by over policing, unfair sentences and unfair justice systems.

As soon as all those "targeted" males get out of jail they'll be productive citizens LMAO.

No one said they had to be perfect, just stop committing crimes.

They police in high crime areas dumbass. If your hood is over policed then your hood has more crime than you care to admit.

The justice system isn't unfair nor is the sentencing. Sentencing is based not only on the crime that's been committed but also the history of the individual.

So when two people both get arrested for similar crimes, one may be given a longer sentence because it may have been his second, third or more conviction. Sometimes a good lawyer can get a reduced sentence if you can afford a good attorney. Plea bargains also aid in getting lighter sentences.

Oh sorry, thats totally reasonable. Blacks should be the one and only part of the population to not commit crimes. Once thats done then racism will go away and we will all live on lollipop lane!

They police in high crime areas dumbass. If your hood is over policed then your hood has more crime than you care to admit.

That doesnt explain stopping, searching, harassing and abuse by police. I think you are confusing "patroling" with "harassing people who have not committed a crime"

The justice system isn't unfair nor is the sentencing. Sentencing is based not only on the crime that's been committed but also the history of the individual.

And water is wet....Should I give unfair sentencing a pass because its never fair! Or should I ignore how that unfairness perpetuates more crime in the community, fatherless homes, etc?

So when two people both get arrested for similar crimes, one may be given a longer sentence because it may have been his second, third or more conviction. Sometimes a good lawyer can get a reduced sentence if you can afford a good attorney. Plea bargains also aid in getting lighter sentences.

Except thats not what the stats show from decades of cases. The stats show that two people white and black commit the same crime and the hammer comes down hardest on blacks for no reason. Now if you go thru the data and find that every case was "different" you may have something

This is a picture of the son of the mayor:

You 'train them to be very careful when they have ... an encounter with a police officer' . “With Dante, very early on, we said, ‘Look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do. Don’t move suddenly. Don’t reach for your cellphone,’” said deBlasio. “Because we knew, sadly, there’s a greater chance it might be misinterpreted if it was a young man of color.” “It’s different for a white child. That’s just the reality in this country,” the mayor said.

When you look at the number of young unarmed blacks who have been shot and killed, I don't really understand what the issue is here. This is something I've heard blacks say for, well, even when I was back in the service in 1975, blacks I've known have said this. It seems the very same Republicans on the USMB who are outraged by these statements cheered at the deaths of unarmed blacks shot to death because they apparently deserved it.

The rush to clear police in shootings - Chicago Tribune

The man's mother screamed from the sidewalk: "He can't walk! He's paralyzed! He can't get out of the car!"

When one officer thought the driver raised a gun, he opened fire, shooting the driver five times before reloading and shooting him once more.

Eight hours later, as Cornelius Ware, a 20-year-old paraplegic who drove by pushing the pedals with a wooden cane, lay gravely wounded in the hospital, police supervisors cleared the officer of any wrongdoing.

They didn't check the direction of the bullets. They didn't interview all the witnesses, two of whom said they saw Ware's hands raised in surrender. And they didn't wait for the autopsy report, which showed two of the bullets struck him in the back of his hands.

The inquiry, which reviewed available records for more than 200 police shooting cases over the last decade, found that these cursory police investigations create a separate standard of justice and fuel the fear among some citizens that officers can shoot people with impunity.

In at least a dozen cases, police shot civilians in the back or from behind.

Unarmed People of Color Killed by Police 1999-2014

Is the police reaction justified? You're not supposed to tell young people of color to be careful? That police will kill you for very little reason, if any?

De Blasio is a hypocrite. Why doesn't relinquish the NYPD detail that is responsible protecting his son if the NYPD is such a danger to his son?

No he stated the history of the US and you want it to be about the NYPD but guess what...If his son goes to any other state the advise would be the same because racism and bias doesnt stop when you cross the state line.

Even if he said that (which he didnt) I dont understand how not getting rid of your bodyguards makes him a hypocrite since he never said anything about body guards not being needed.

He's a hypocrite because he's saying the police are a threat to his son, meanwhile he has a specific police detail assigned to protecting his son. It doesn't seem like he really thinks the police are a threat to his son if he wants them protecting him (his son) 24/7, does he?

Blacks seem to think they are being singled out unfairly, I disagree. The truth is blacks account for more crime per capita than any other race in America. So it only stand to reason they would be under more scrutiny. Blacks need to start cleaning up their act and the problem of being "unfairly" targeted will fade away.

But we all know that's not going to happen anytime soon, if ever.

LMAO!! Ok, if blacks just become perfect then they wont be targeted! But until then continue to target them and their community will get better by over policing, unfair sentences and unfair justice systems.

Oh sorry, thats totally reasonable. Blacks should be the one and only part of the population to not commit crimes. Once thats done then racism will go away and we will all live on lollipop lane!

The justice system isn't unfair nor is the sentencing. Sentencing is based not only on the crime that's been committed but also the history of the individual.

Yes water is wet, what's your point? Sentencing is fair, you just won't accept it.

The data doesn't show criminal history.

Well done, Dean.

Well done

Yeah it had nothing to do with him saying the NYPD has been a racist institution for hundreds of years even though the NYPD is THE most diverse police force in the country

You are right. It would be a terrible thing if he said that. IF he said that. Only he didn't.

Because De Blasio is an idiot and a colossal douchebag. He said and did things not just recently but for a whole now that disrespected the NYPD. Fortunately for the people of NY he will be done after this term.

Like what?

This is a picture of the son of the mayor:

You 'train them to be very careful when they have ... an encounter with a police officer' . “With Dante, very early on, we said, ‘Look, if a police officer stops you, do everything he tells you to do. Don’t move suddenly. Don’t reach for your cellphone,’” said deBlasio. “Because we knew, sadly, there’s a greater chance it might be misinterpreted if it was a young man of color.” “It’s different for a white child. That’s just the reality in this country,” the mayor said.

When you look at the number of young unarmed blacks who have been shot and killed, I don't really understand what the issue is here. This is something I've heard blacks say for, well, even when I was back in the service in 1975, blacks I've known have said this. It seems the very same Republicans on the USMB who are outraged by these statements cheered at the deaths of unarmed blacks shot to death because they apparently deserved it.

The man's mother screamed from the sidewalk: "He can't walk! He's paralyzed! He can't get out of the car!"

When one officer thought the driver raised a gun, he opened fire, shooting the driver five times before reloading and shooting him once more.

Eight hours later, as Cornelius Ware, a 20-year-old paraplegic who drove by pushing the pedals with a wooden cane, lay gravely wounded in the hospital, police supervisors cleared the officer of any wrongdoing.

They didn't check the direction of the bullets. They didn't interview all the witnesses, two of whom said they saw Ware's hands raised in surrender. And they didn't wait for the autopsy report, which showed two of the bullets struck him in the back of his hands.

The inquiry, which reviewed available records for more than 200 police shooting cases over the last decade, found that these cursory police investigations create a separate standard of justice and fuel the fear among some citizens that officers can shoot people with impunity.

In at least a dozen cases, police shot civilians in the back or from behind.

Is the police reaction justified? You're not supposed to tell young people of color to be careful? That police will kill you for very little reason, if any?

De Blasio is a hypocrite. Why doesn't relinquish the NYPD detail that is responsible protecting his son if the NYPD is such a danger to his son?

Um, you know that makes no sense, right?

Well done

I guess I should be taken aback at your Nancy Drew like ability at real detective like work.

Garner was murdered by a bully LEO. Period. No ands ifs or buts about it. Brown, on the other hand, got what he deserved for being an asshole, a thug, and a bully himself.
They should have never let that officer off that killed Garner.
