Because cops have a Union and you don't beat your coworkers.

I'm starting to think that RAtM was a bit optimistic with "some" in this one.

I don't know. I don't necessarily believe that a majority of police are white supremacists. I do believe that the vast majority are complicit in the behavior of their worst offenders, though. If they aren't willing to call out corruption among themselves, then they are at least corruption-adjacent.

There is literally no meaningful difference. If you are complicit in white supremacy, you ARE a white supremacist.

idk at this point in American politics do you see any non-conservative becoming a cop? now pair that with how conservatives are becoming more and now openly racist... I'd say it's more realistic than not to assume most cops are racist just based on demographics.

Who the flying FUCK fires nine fucking bullets at a guy in a MOTORISED wheelchair because of a shoplifting accusation? How was the police officer in any danger at any time?

And he's not charged for it? Only in America.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Only in America

Haha.

There are Countries where the Police are literally tasked with carrying out a genocide.

Not saying this isn't bad, but please don't act like you've got it the worst when there are so many that have it worse.

One of which is in your username

Don't assume that I'm from the USA. I'm not.

It's just a saying.

Why are you hitting yourself?

Why does Superman never save Clark Kent from danger?

… or rich people.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

While cops and white supremacists often being on the same side is a major factor, white supremacists are also absolute cowards in the face of authority and will immediately back down like the little bitches they are.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Ever seen a leech feeding off another leech? No?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because white supremacists own guns and cops are cowards.

This is the real reason. If Black Lives Matter or whoever else showed up to protests wearing plate carriers and carrying AR15’s you can bet your ass the police would be a lot more respectful.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because they're not going to beat on their families.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Gotta be some other reason, because they’re clearly fine with family beatings.

"~~Stop~~ Start hitting yourself!"

I was at a protest once right around after Trump was elected, a counter protestor came up within minutes of our arrival and started screaming expletives at us. The police immediately got involved to protect him from us.

Honestly I'm sure they do if they resist. Most marches by neonazis and the like are planned out to make sure that they are covered by freedom of speech and it would be a huge lawsuit to attack them. A random skinhead in a bar doesn't have that luxury and I'm sure many have been beaten down.
