Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[FlayedAngel]

Here's a wild and crazy thought regarding interactions with law enforcement officers.

Don't break the law, and the chances of you having a serious problem with an officer are nearly zero. Yeah that's right, DON'T. BREAK. THE. LAW.

DON'T. BREAK. THE. LAW.

Sure, and that would be 100% true if there were 0% instances of racial profiling, police brutality, or abuse of power -- the fact that people keep forgetting the goddamn point of the protests is a pretty good example of why they're happening.

According to the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) and their most recent literature, following the law is a White trait and rooted in racism.

Because you support following the law (Don't. Break. The. Law), you support a racist ideology. Therefore, you are racist.

Now I am #WOKE. I have learned my lessons. I have digested the NMAAHC and BLM's information, and now understand supporting law enforcement is a sign of racism. I now understand that People of Color (POCs) break the law because it is based on their skin color, and that they will not conform to the oppressive white racist traits.

You need to get #WOKE and understand your systemic racism, and understand POCs commit crimes to fight such racist ideology. How dare you, good sir!, think that POCs would ever follow the law and adhere to your racist bigotry!!

And... full circle.

Better get #WOKE.

Stop throwing your white racist common sense in this argument. Can you see the racist Leftists need the "Systemic Racism" windmill to stir up the base so they can shake them down for more cash?

Sure, Pizzagate.

Maybe cause the cops are too often unregulated maniacs who are a danger to the people, and our systems of oppression have made the US the most imprisioned nation in the world. Maybe that's contributing to the animosity. Just a wee bit.

Over 800k police officers in the US, 1000 police officers shot and killed people in 2019, just for the sake of argument let's assume 100% of those shootings weren't justified, that's .125% of cops are "bad" cops. If someone tried to use these kinds of statistics to say all black men are bad people and non-black people should teach their children from a young age that all black people are bad people you would literally flip your shit.

Yes I said literally flip your shit.

Ever stop to think you're part of the problem, Bhaalizmo? Cause ya are.

Don't bother with statistics with the triggered, leftist, snowflake crowd bra. They cannot mathes.

"All black men" does not equate to "all law enforcement" -- the former are not in a position of authority and don't have a history of systemic oppression, that's a disingenuous comparison.

It's about accountability... or a lack thereof.

Black people have been 28% of those killed by police since 2013 despite being only 13% of the population. 99% of killings by police from 2013-2019 have not resulted in officers being charged with a crime. [https://mappingpoliceviolence.org]
