Situation in Baltimore MD

<< < (2/4) > >>

cogsandspigots:
Ultimately, the injury stems from a police practice of putting weight on a suspect's neck while handcuffing them. This is done as the officer is temporarily handicapped while reaching for their handcuffs or other restraints, so that the suspect cannot move their head and locate any potential weapons to use on the officer while they only have one hand available. Done properly, the neck and head are rendered immobile but is completely harmless. As a person who has been restrained by the police, the only part of the process that causes any pain is the rubbing of handcuffs on the wrists. However, in the events in Baltimore, there was many breaches of rules. For one, way too much force was put on the neck, causing severe injuries. Secondly, the suspect was not properly strapped in while in the back of the van, worsening the injures as the van moved rather recklessly. Finally, and probably the most negligent and disturbing, the suspect was denied medical treatment after telling cops repeatedly that he was injured.

 tl;dr
Cops were being very negligent, should be punished appropriately.





Also, don't burn down cites, m'kay?

Sure you can peacefully protest, there's nothing wrong in that, but rioting? That's taking things too far. Destruction of property, especially to people not involved, is not equivalent to speaking against a loss of life or excessive force. I really like to know what goes through a rioter's mind when they want to destroy stuff. It sends the wrong and opposite message the peaceful side is trying to portray and is digging themselves in a deeper hole in the eyes of everyone else.

I really appreciate the people that clean up the streets and try to calm the violent guys. Good on them.

--- Quote from: Cake Faice on April 28, 2015, 08:51:43 PM ---I love how white people are rooting the looters on, joining them, sympathizing with their "centuries of oppression and abuse". Police Brutality is a grey area subject, loads of examples of actual brutality/racism and examples of people being stupid toward police, and I quite frankly have no idea what happened to Freddie Grey during transportation to die with so many injuries, but destroying your own town isn't the answer. That's just proving the stereotype of black people. Not to mention Grey had at least 18 previous arrests, so god knows what his motives were.

People are fucking morons when they say "Oh but MLK lead a peaceful protest and he was killed by violence! Peaceful protest does nothing! Violence teaches lessons!". Yeah, and shortly after his death, the rest of America dismantled segregation, proving a peaceful protest can accomplish something. It's actually relieving to see some town citizens protecting the police and cleaning up the mess that looters left. All of this shit started with Trevyon Martin and giving every black person the green card to "NO JUSTICE NO PEACE" in every police-on-black riot, pulling the racism card where ever they go, bringing down society with them.

But come on, fucking up the lives of countless other innocent citizens and business owners? Watching footage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots pisses me off enough knowing that people unwillingly beat the shit out of people that had nothing to do with the problem, this current riot trend is just fucking awful.

To make matters worst, you'll notice that most people that are rioting are more or less all under the age of 30. You have all these fucking bratty kids, who think they're entitled something because of their race. As for the older folks? You'll notice they're generally the ones cleaning up, the ones protesting peacefully, because they know violence won't solve anything. Just like women and feminism. OH BECAUSE WE STRUGGLED ALL OUR LIVES, doing what? Getting the chance to have a public education? Having the opportunity to actually be hired? These are things you wouldn't have been able to have even done 30-40 years ago. Police brutality is also something that effects more than just black people, but only black people tend to get pointed out for what reasons? Because many black people like to associate themselves with violence, with being "thugs".

It's actually kind of ironic that they think they are so targeted by the police, but when you look at statistics, white people actually get arrested for more crimes than black people do (An example being the FBI reports of crime back from 2013: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/tables/table-43) and yet it's all about black lives that matter, because they are the ONLY ones who get picked on, right? I get that you think you're oppressed by the system, that certain statistics are against you, however that doesn't change the fact you have so much more freedom then what you used to have. These movements can never be satisfied, I honestly believe they just have a superiority complex. They will ruin and destroy innocent peoples lives, and for what? "hahah now you know how my ancestors felt years ago" because that's literally all I get out of all of this? There are and always will be bad people in this world, but not everyone is and not everyone deserves to be punished for certain peoples actions. This is the same prejudice they are angry over. This whole situation is shitty and just simply unjustified. And the people who are rooting for them are simply ignorant fools, who don't want to seem like they're racist or prejudice for being against something that is fucking awful just because they're black.

Nemisous:
Riots in Baltimore take place at the same time Konami announces that Silent Hills is cancelled, coincidence? I think not.
